The fact-checking site Logically.ai identified Jason Gelinas of New Jersey on Sept. 10 as the developer and mouthpiece for the site. New Jersey state records connect QAppAnon to Gelinass home address, Bloomberg found.
Reached outside his home, Gelinas declined to comment on the Logically report, saying only that someone had sent it to him on Twitter after it was published.
Im not going to comment on any of that, Gelinas said when asked if he was behind the website Qmap. Im not going to get involved. I want to stay out of it.

As an officer of a financial firm, he needs to get Outside Lines of Business approvals for any work that might detract from the company and especially if there are any political sponsorship or financial income received. If he didn't get that approval--his ass is fired.
Now, he's also directly linked Citi with his behaviors, and while he tried not to publicly involve the firm by directly associating himself to it, he's placed them in a bind.

I read the 'About' page for 'Logically' and found my way to the founder's Ted Talk (who has a really cool name Lyric Jain).

They also have a free app and if a library of stories they rate like other fact checkers plus an area to submit information if you believe their rating is incorrect.
They are rating a story 'Trump achieved the first Middle East peace deal in 25 years' as True and give their sources which in this case is the White House and Voice of America. They have the article there to read for review as well.
They rate 'Trump: Passed Veterans Affairs Accountability Act and VA Choice Program, we got 91 percent approval by our veterans.' as False.

(530 posts)Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, the Saudis, and all their mouthpiece shills are PROJECTIONISTS. That means they project their behavior onto others in order to distract from what THEY are doing (which is, by definition of projection, exactly what they are accusing others of doing). So, when we think about who we know child sex traffickers to be, who comes to mind? The Chinese? Russians? What about the Saudis? Jeffrey Epstein? Kim Jung Un, perhaps? Who is best buddies with all these people? Oh, that's right: the person who is occupying OUR WHITE HOUSE! Honorable mention to Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao. Just think about how being the Secretary of transportation might benefit one's child sex trafficking business, if that were, in fact the case.
These people are criminals of the highest order and they have hijacked our country.

(8,049 posts)bringing this up. Bill Barr's daddy hired Jeffrey Epstein when Epstein was totally unqualified for the job, too. This goes deep, and it's the common thread. Bill Barr was the last person to visit Jeffrey Epstein in prison before he "committed suicide".

The man behind Qanon is a vile hate-merchant coordinating with OANN, Flynn and Russian intelligence.
