If you ever had any doubt that this "Qanon is against pedophiles" is anything but bullshit.

Why is QAnon more obsessed with an imaginary sex-trafficking ring than with Jeffrey Epstein’s real one?

SNIP-------------------------------------------------------------------------SNIP

“This journey to justice has taken decades for my fellow abuse survivors and me, including years in which our voices were ignored,” Giuffre tweeted. “Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein did not act alone.” Among the thousands of retweets Giuffre’s post received was one from a QAnon account, which encouraged followers to “RETWEET/SHARE” Giuffre’s news. Giuffre then retweeted that post, which included the popular QAnon hashtags #WWG1WGA and #TheGreatAwakening, adding her own variations of other QAnon-related slogans such as #SaveTheKids and #TheGreatAwakeningWorldWide.

Epstein’s long history of sexual misconduct, on private islands, in his Florida mansion, aboard yachts and and his private jet with a who’s who of powerful elites including former President Bill Clinton (who denies having had a close relationship with Epstein or any knowledge of his crimes), is probably the closest real-world analogue of the global sex-trafficking ring at the core of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

And yet, the unsealing of Maxwell’s 2016 deposition — a significant development in the case against Epstein and, potentially, other high-profile associates — received no mention from Q after it was released on Thursday. Instead, the shadowy leader behind the growing pro-Trump conspiracy movement spent most of the day posting about Hunter Biden’s emails.

Marc-André Argentino, a PhD candidate at Canada’s Concordia University who has closely studied QAnon, said that the Epstein scandal is definitely a big story for adherents of the movement “in the sense that it fits squarely within the QAnon narrative,” in which members of the Clinton family, in particular, are among the biggest villains.

However, Argentino said that is somewhat complicated by the fact that “the elites” whose names have been linked to Epstein come from both sides of the political spectrum, and that among them is Donald Trump.

Why aren't the QAnon folks helping to find all the missing children separated from their parents at the border? That shouldn't be so hard if they are truly everywhere.

I have read that bona fide groups that do work like that find Qanon believers to be counterproductive.

Is probably the greatest psyop drop ever devised.

Psyopdeception. Notice how they miss almost every point about what is really going on, going down the rabbit hole and accomplishing nothing but confused mayhem and . The diversion and distraction are a deflection from the truth, and all the while, they are convinced that they are on the right track and everybody who doesn't "believe" is deceived.

It pushes all the right buttons and fulfills a deep psychological need. Their research is merely YouTube channels by other believers and manipulators who know how to use the tools of manipulation. It's an echo chamber and any "patriotism" dissolves into a nightmare of disability.

"Trust the plan!"

It really works.

for such a trashy person .

Accuse others of things that apply more to the trash they support.

There are probably a high number if pedos and sexual abusers in general among qonon people.

Which while there were many alarming parts of this story, this was one of the worst offenders:

Triesman was indicted in late September in federal court in the Middle District of North Carolina on charges of possessing and transmitting child pornography.


So I guess it takes one to know one?
