Wayfair conspiracy theorists are overwhelming the National Human Trafficking Hotline

A national organization fighting to end human trafficking says the believers in the unfounded Wayfair human trafficking conspiracy theory are overwhelming the organization with reports and making it harder to do its work.

Polaris, a non-profit that runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline, said in a press release on Tuesday that "the extreme volume of these contacts has made it more difficult for the Trafficking Hotline to provide support and attention to others who are in need of help."

Polaris said that the reports included no information "beyond what has been widely shared online. Nor have any of these reports been made by someone who has a specific connection to any alleged missing children."

Believers in the conspiracy theory think that the furniture company is selling human children who have gone missing by disguising them as pillows and other goods. The theory went viral in the last few weeks after being spread by QAnon believers on Twitter and Facebook, though both platforms told Insider they had removed certain posts containing this misinformation.

Yet again, the deplorables and Trump cultists do real damage in the world through their stupidity, gullibility and hatred for others. Whichever asshole thought up "Q" deserves to die alone and friendless.

Absolutely.

These QMorons are an actual 'enemy of the people.'

Considering they're blatantly ignoring that their orange 'god' is probably eyebrows-deep in Epstien's circle (My bet is that's what Russia has on him. Not a 'pee tape'. Him raping children.) I think the "QMoron' label fits.

This is why the Qanon purge on social media platforms. It's not because they are a danger to the nation. It"s business to business.
Looking out for Wayfair.

The names they choose for the products include first names of humans.

So ...

Wayfair hide the children in their furniture deliveries.

That's it, basically, yes. Tom Hanks is accused, for no apparent reason: https://www.democraticunderground.com/12316565
