I was an expat ("eXhole" in eXile lingo) in Moscow back in those days. MT and Mark Ames did some incredible work, and wrote some of the funniest shit I've ever read in my life (still cracks me up 20 years later).
Are we certain that "anti Q" stories aren't actually part of the White Hats' plan to direct thinking people to Q's drops?
I've meditated much on this question. If I were in charge of "Cabal Media", I would have ordered a complete blackout of any mention of Q, to keep it from ever becoming part of public discourse – negative or positive.
Keep in mind that MSM is least-respected institution in the US (just below Congress), and it's not too far-fetched to expect (thinking) people will naturally believe the opposite of whatever the media is promoting.
