Why is QAnon more obsessed with an imaginary sex-trafficking ring than with Jeffrey Epsteins 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 Giuffres post received was one from a QAnon account, which encouraged followers to RETWEET/SHARE Giuffres 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.
Epsteins long history of sexual misconduct, on private islands, in his Florida mansion, aboard yachts and and his private jet with a whos 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 Maxwells 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 Bidens emails.
Marc-André Argentino, a PhD candidate at Canadas 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.

(4,859 posts)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.

Newest Reality
(12,712 posts)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.

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.
