Either way, the mystery poster “Q” had a solution: just buy more QAnon shirts and wear it in layers.

“When one shirt is not enough,” the post reads, “TWO becomes the solution.”

Eh I wonder how many take that literally. I am white. Had a NoI friend tell me to read Yakub a few years ago. The next week we were talking about it, and he and another black nationalist there assured me it’s metaphorical.

Yakub is obviously a metaphor for the invention of race as a means of domination, and probably intentionally farcical in terms of its literal content. The whole point is that whiteness was an idea invented to serve exploitative colonial and, later, capitalistic ends that require the continual denigration of blackness and the denial of humanity for black people, when in fact black people have humanity and dignity that they discover through resistance to white supremacy.

It's probably a transparently stupid story about a wizard so that you think about its meaning rather than its content.

Bingo. So when people are talking conspiracy theories, and say ‘Ooh look at this crazy poo poo NoI people believe!’ It strikes me as disingenuous or ill informed, to be most charitable. And probably way worse, although I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to this forum.

They're so smart.

They're certainly creative, in a way the last few iterations of Q really hasn't been able to match. When Q posts something as... original... as the "No bombs" 7/7 theory*, I'll start paying attention.

* I always use this as the platonic ideal of the conspiracy theory. Take your very first impression of the initial news reports. Work from there, ignoring any possible logical inconsistency. Any subsequent or analysis of the event only strengthens you, by proving they're attempting to cover up the truth.

In this case, the very first news reports on the 7/7 bombings on the London Underground mentioned only a "power surge and fire" because those were the only solid facts they had - the trains disintegrating shorted the rails, causing a power surge to be recorded, and there was smoke coming out of the tunnels. It was only half an hour later when a bus exploded on Tavistock Square just outside the British Medical Association that the word "terrorism" started to be used. From that you construct a theory that there was in fact a power surge that caused the trains to explode or catch fire, so Transport for London - whose insurance covers them for terrorism but not for maintenance failures like that - blew up one of their own buses, coincidentally right outside the BMA who supplied a load of cadavers as set dressing.

If people point out that in fact the insurance situation is exactly the opposite of that - they of course carry liability insurance but terrorism is force majeure, or that the lines involved all have independent power systems, or that TfL can't even organise actually making trains and buses run most of the time, let alone building a bomb, procuring a bunch of bodies, and combining these two elements in less time than it takes them to update their website, well that's all just yet more proof of the cleverness of the conspirators.

You don't need to think you'll gain any personal benefit to support a purge.

In highly unequal and authoritarian societies a purge can give the common people a relieving dose of schadenfreude regardless of whether it improves their lives. Imagine how satisfying it must have been for a lot of middle ranking Soviet apparatchiks to watch Beria and his cronies finally get humiliated in a show trial and then executed or exiled.

Or in America, look at the delight that so many resentful middle American mediocrities felt when their avatar Richard Nixon went after Alger Hiss, an embodiment of New England wealth and privilege in the State Department.

Quite incorrect. The Noble Drew Ali held that africans and asians were from the same "afro-asiatic" stock, and Africans, in fact, originated in asia.

"He stated that the fallen sons and daughters of the Asiatic Nation of North America need to learn to love instead of hate, and know of their higher self."

Yeah, that's the normal position, especially for The Nations of Gods and Earth (variant Nation of Islam tradition, following Clarence 13X)


The primary source for "Africanized" Egyptology is Martin Bernal's "Black Athena;" while not exactly convincing, it can easily be seen as a useful corrective to traditional european spins on Egypt and African influence.
