Thoughts from a simple Anon:
This storm is epic, an information war like we've never seen in our history.
We were warned of it's coming, and told how to prepare and shown how to attack. But during the heat of battle, does our action reflect our training, or do we resort back to natural reflexes?
Our training matters and dictates our action. Our action matters and dictates perception. Perception matters and dictates our influence.
Like any army, the Qanon army has numerous roles and duties to be performed. But we are one.
Where we go one we go all….wherever one of us goes in the name of Qanon, reflects on us all. Where one of us takes a stance, those that hear it will judge us all. Each one of us needs to be prepared to answer, defend and lead in an honest, persuading and intelligent manner.
I've watched this unfold away from this board over the last few days. Some have defended the findings of this board very effectively and in like manner. Some followers of the board have not.
This information war is personal and emotional. It involves real lives and real pain. Where possible, we need to leverage that emotion. But we must always use logic and truth.
Emotion without logic is our enemies weapon and why they are losing. Truth is what makes our memes, our graphics, our proofs and connections so effective.
Stay together does not mean we allow untruths to be spread. We must correct misinformation when presented. That is how those new to the message will know it is honest. The chans are not known for being gentle, but those that are carriers of the information should counter gently when possible. This is key to our movement. We all learned hard truths and opened our minds by leading questions. There was reason for such, and we owe those that have not been afforded the previous exposure the same compassion. We cannot forget this in the heat of battle.
Attack the message with facts, with humor, with leading questions, but not the messenger. A closed mind is hard to win.
This storm can be disorienting. Corsi appeared to be sided with Q prior to attempting to steer his audience away. Is it any harder to understand that some reporters may be true believers but unable to state such directly? Plausible deniability is a double edged sword.
If any of us have spoken of Qanon to any friends, family or strangers at all, we've known the feeling of being attacked and called a conspiracy theorist.
But what if your livelyhood is based on being credible? If labeled a conspiracy theorist, will it open or close minds? Even if you are sharing the same sourced information? Is it belief in Qanon or the information mined that matters?
I believe it is OUR job to carry the Qanon story, not to be dependent on converting reporters. Not that we should not engage reporters, but do so in a factual message based manner. Always remaining message based and uneffected by emotionally driven attacks.
What is the value of media members? Is it not their audience?
Can something positive be added to our message by a media member that appears on the surface to be opposed? What is exposure worth? Truth stands on its own, people just have to be exposed.
Does questioning give us an opportunity speak?
I think it's important to weigh what is being questioned. If done so fairly, errors in our message will be removed. Is that harmful?
Not all information carriers will carry the message in perfect form. Some pruning will be necessary. It would be best if done by our own. When warranted, honest correction will win the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens.
Not all is as it appears in this storm. We should be careful to see the big picture and think logically. Be honest at all times and present our message gently and persuasively as possible. If we remember to perform as we were trained, victory is guaranteed. We have the weapon of truth on our side.
