Prester Jane posted:Q is running a pretty complicated scam. So someone somewhere posts nonsense somewhere on the internet ("T[h]ey better 12 aware fortunate SIN devide the room") and signs his posts "Q". People then either extrapolate what they want ("'Devide' is a purposeful misspelling that refers to PrEsidEnt Trump who is surrounded by SIN...") or backtrapolates from events that already happened ("the 12 clearly refers to the train crash last week, there were 12 cars involved...") and people are tripping over themselves to be part of the "Q Society" that divines the future from his secret coded inside knowledge? But how is "Q" making money of this?

Q Anon stuff is starting to leak into the far right media bubble - a lot of Jerome Corsi-level hucksters are starting to run articles relating to "the storm", and even if they aren't true believers, they are at least entertaining the idea. More and more freepers are going to get sucked into it before all is said and done. At first I was surprised by how much traction this ridiculous bullshit is getting, but one of my friends explained it to me well - this whole thing is just what happens when you take "Trump is playing 5D chess" and stretch it to it's breaking point. These people voted Trump in because they wanted him to be this ultra-effective virtual tyrant, who would throw all the bad guys (i.e. Hillary) in jail, get the Mexican wall built within the year, bypass Congress whenever they tried to resist him, etc. What they GOT is a highly-ineffective, whiny twitter celebrity with only a handful of "accomplishments" under his belt. But since these people have etched the idea of "god-emperor Trump" into their heads, they don't want to confront that reality. No, Trump is still doing all the good things and putting the bad guys in jail! He's just doing it... in secret, yeah! He'll let us know soon, just be patient and trust in Q! And that's how a bunch of people are now convinced that both Bush Sr. And Bush Jr. are now in cells in Guantanamo Bay. I'll add my voice to the people asking for a Q Anon thread, this poo poo is fascinating and horrible in equal measure.

The reason Q is popular is that conservatives haven't tried telling a new story for several years and this rambling incoherent mess at least forces them to think a little as they try to decipher the non-existant messages.

Every now and again I accidentally run into a really old Freep thread while searching for something else entirely. This time it was info on old army fire suppression systems, when the US army phased out halons and others for hydrofluorocarbon-based suppressants. Let's have a look at Freep, circa 2002: Fire Suppression Systems on Abrams Tanks....Did EPA Remove Halon Systems? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/724750/posts The OP: quote:Posted on 7/30/2002, 1:28:07 PM by Arkinsaw There were only a few replies, but these wouldn't necessarily be far out of place recently (if a bit tame).

Icon Of Sin posted:I recalled that the Abrams had this hi-tech fire suppression system that was supposed to flood the tank with Halon gas and snuff out any fire immediately. I wondered why it failed to work. I wonder if it's dawned on this one yet not only is Halon toxic, but if it floods the tank to suffocate the fire, I'm fairly certain it'll do the same to the crew

The halons used for fire suppression where people are expected to be are fairly low toxicity, especially compared to earlier brominated compounds or carbon tet, and don't need to flood the area to the same degree as co2 or dry nitrogen to suppress a fire, because at flame temperatures they interrupt the radicals that propagate combustion at fairly low concentrations. It's still recommended that you get the hell out as soon as a halon tank goes off though. There are some good suppressants that do the same without wrecking the ozone layer now, but they're very expensive.

The fire suppressant turning into hydroflouric acid and killing soldiers is true, here's the report( not sure what this fire control system used, though, I haven't read it): http://ramnar.ir/portal/component/k2/item/download/53.html (DL link to a paper discussing one of the two incidents at Bagram Air Base). I mean, if your MRAP takes a direct RPG hit being poisoned is probably the least of your worries, but it is pretty gnarly to consider that your fire control systems can turn into enough hydroflouric acid to kill you

Shouldn't be a prop for the US military. It's not like we give them a 215 billion dollar budget to play with. Plus they're supposed to be entering the new M1A2 into service, so why not change the system now. Of course freep just wants the old stuff to stay because change is a liberal idea

These old fucks were the first generation born into policies like social security and heavily unionized jobs, so they've been able to benefit from leaving nothing for the future generations and now get to do nothing and claim it's because of their hard work. In the process they broke the system through greed and politics so the newer generations are back to working till they die, but they're the real slackers living on the dole. End result, boomers suck and they should be booted out of any position of authority and pay in to the future

Was someone going to make a thread on the qanon phenom? It has definitely spread to Freep but with mixed results so far. Has JimRob made an official ruling yet? Having trouble reconciling this skepticism with the sig line here. quote:The coo-coo Q brigade will be along shortly to set us straight. Secret pedophillia pizza decoder ring stuff. And some of them think Trump(!) is Q. Cuz he made the secret Q sign that only Q insiders can read. Or something. Alex Jones level kookery. Ah, those elite Satanists, everyone knows about them! quote:Good grief....you sound like the one living in Kooksville. Sarcasm from the Freep crowd... quote:Alex Jones level kookery Seriously, though, human sacrifices? Are we going through another satanic panic? quote:Pizzagate is about a cult group operating in our government for a long time. If you only focus on recent events with Wikileaks you're missing the whole story of human sacrifices. Why this group is harvesting blood for their rituals. They believe it will make them physically and mentally stronger Shocking new Q post Worth noting there is quite a bit of mocking the pro-Q Freepers with jokes about decoder rings in this thread. Hilary, Obama and the Pope (??) in robes doing human sacrifices. quote:if they have videos of members of the swamp discussing assassinating Trump, videos of Hillary and Obama dressing up in satanic robes and sacrificing people, don’t you think that will be enough to wake up most people? A typical "I'm old and don't understand this!" Freep post. quote:What is with all this Q worship on FR???

I think the human sacrifices stuff is an extrapolation from the "spirit cooking". For those who don't recall the whole story, performance artist Marina Abramovic does home cooking art events that Tony Podesta got invited to called "Spirit Cooking". She published a cookbook accompaniment with recipes that involve semen and breast milk, but she's said that her events don't include these. Tony forwarded an invitation to John that he didn't reply to, and because John Podesta exists somewhere in proximity to the conversation it got linked to Hillary Clinton by proxy. The crazy people then extrapolated that spirit cooking involves human sacrifice and went from there.

No matter how many times a picture of Trump with some scumbag pops up they NEVER seem to grasp the concept that politicians, by definition, know and are seen with lots and lots of people so a picture of Hated Politician A next to ScumBag B will ALWAYS mean that HPA LOVES, agrees with, and is permanently attached at the hip to SBB and all of their friends relatives and anyone they've ever taken a picture with or been rumored to hang out with. Meanwhile their politicians are "just taking pictures with random people" no matter how long that "random person" has been staying in their guest house.
