As key Donald Trump-supporting QAnon figures continue to attack one another in the wake of Kyle Rittenhouses acquittal, right-wing attorney and longtime QAnon acolyte Lin Wood is now saying that QAnon is likely a Deep State operation.
The claim follows Woods declaration last week that longtime friend Michael Flynn Trumps former national security adviser and the recipient of a Trump pardon is a general of the deep state, which, according to the QAnon conspiracy theory, refers to an imagined secretive clan of Satan-worshipping federal officials, agents and their supporters.
Wood also suddenly labeled the stop the steal movement that seeks to restore Trump to the presidency a deep state plot last week although he continues to insist the 2020 election was fraudulent and needs to be fixed to put Trump back into the White House.
On the online messaging system Telegram earlier this week, Wood wrote that he has formed an opinion that Q speaks truth, referring to the anonymous poster in QAnon lore who has purported high-level government clearance and deep access to state secrets.

Calling Flynn a 'deep state actor' puts you in the same dustbin as
Wood. Not a good look.

(101,414 posts)(b) QAnon looks so ridiculous that even Lin Wood has seen it's bullshit, and now he wants to distance himself from it
(c) Some QAnon people have said that even they can see that Lin Wood has always been bullshitting, and now they have been distancing themselves from him, so he's retaliating
(d) a desperate publicity attempt
(e) all of the above?

According to Paste, in releasing secret recordings of Flynnn and company, "Wood has laid bare one of the biggest ideological schisms that has always existed within the far-right, QAnon/conspiracy theory world, which is the gulf between those who actually believe any of this stuff, and those who are just pretending to believe it for political clout/profit."
A psychological analysis identified a correlation between Q-nuttery and anti-establishment orientations. We think of them as RW, but they span the spectrum, distrust and rejection of anything they regard as establishment a common propensity, including both parties. Trump is not establishment to them, Pence is.
I visited a QAnon forum recently. Fanatic true believers not knowing what to believe. They're so confused, trying to apply their prevous "logical" analyses to the pile of crazy blocks kicked out from under them. To figure out who to believe in. And who're mortal enemies they must destroy. Thank everything they're a virtual mob, unlike the one in Pakistan that suddenly formed the other day and beat a man to death.
Big question, what will the political manipulators be able to do with these extremely dangerous people? Many are losing faith in tRump, but he's still the leader.

(54,060 posts)Many of these freaks think the "Deep State" is a "Jew thing". If they start to believe QAnon is a "Jew conspiracy", then it could end up with violence coming at the Jews. I am currently reading a book in the Holocaust, and for the past 9 chapters I haven't even got to the camps yet, because those chapters were about the lead up to the "Final Solution". The parallels from then and now among certain groups and their supporters is bone-chilling.
