QAnon Leaders Push Followers Into Multi-Level Marketing

Well, sure...once you have their minds, their hearts and wallets are right behind!

In a December livestream to his QAnon fanbase, conspiracy theorist Phil Godlewski laid out what he described as the key to their financial futures: buying silver. But Godlewski didn’t want his followers to buy silver from just any company. Instead, he told them to buy through 7k Metals, a multi-level marketing business and metals dealer.

QAnon leaders aren’t just selling silver. Scott McKay, a Q-backer who wields a tomahawk on stage and openly fantasizes about the murder of Democrats in his videos, appears at QAnon rallies across the country under the name “Patriot Streetfighter.”

In posts on the messaging app Telegram in March, McKay urged his fans to prepare for the launch of a mysterious project called “Operation Tomahawk.” Revealing little about the project, he promised that he was launching an “economic warfare platform” that would take on liberal corporations and “choke them out.”

The Amway folks used to rent out meeting rooms where I worked. We thought they were crazy back then. I'll give them credit, they were generally nice to the staff. They would even lend a hand to help set up rooms if needed. Most of the other folks would watch us hurriedly put something together with some amount of disdain if something was off in the room set up. But that was way back in the day; their attitudes would probably be much worse now.
