The most interesting of goal post shifting is how Q/Trump have been working in secrecy lest it cause mass panic in the general population has been one of the core conceits of QAnon. We're now in the middle of a global pandemic, one of the worst crises of our lifetime so they had to say to themselves "hmm whatever is going on must be even worse than that!" So now we get thousands of miles of tunnels networking under the country trafficking in horrifying abominations.

Yes, these children that were secretly bred to be kept in underground tunnels were also given birth certificates and social security numbers.

Well of course they were. How else could the "uNITED-sTATES" give them the contracts that bind them to the national debt under maritime law, duh?

The mole children are actually the vanguard of the hollow earth armies who are infiltrating the USA from below so that the hollow earth people can get citizenship and then the democrats will not allow to declare war on the hollow earth. You have to drink colloidal silver mixed with fish cleaner to protect you from the lizard men mind control adrenochrome chips they put in your brain and wear an orgone pyramid on your head to block the mind control 5g waves that they're spraying from the jet planes but if you put vinegar in a spray bottle that disperses the chemtrails that's why our grandparents used vinegar they KNEW you see it's all connected.

What if the mole children are the children of the mole men and the deep state has brought the wrath of the mole civilization upon us by abducting their children? Clearly Hillary Clinton piloted the ship from the hit movie The Core into the hollow earth and then lured the mole children with earthworm candy into the ship.

Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
iirc part of the “secret tunnel” stuff from the Satanic panic came from little-kid logic as the nice therapists asked them to continue “remembering” their experiences and they tried to find the right answers that would make them happy.

“And what happened next, Johnnie?”

“Uhh, then my preschool teacher told me I had to kiss Satan.”

“Where did you kiss Satan?”

“Uhh, on the butt?”

“No, johnnie, where were you when your preschooler made you kiss Satan on the butt?”

“...Mexico?”

“Mexico, really, that’s interesting...” *scribbles notes* “And how did he get you to Mexico and back in between the time your parents dropped you off and picked you up that day?”

“Secret tunnels?”


Those testimonies are how we got most of our Satanic panic narrative tropes that live on to this day in movements like QAnon. So, if Q stuff ever sounds like fanciful gibberish made up by a bored five year old who just wants to go home, that’s because in a lot of ways it is

What do you want to do? Who do you want to be?
A guy I went to school with who used to be cool has fallen hard down the #greatawakening rabbit hole, and they're very vocal about it. Seems to have been shepherded there by the "COVID is just the flu" crowd of reality deniers, who he probably fell in with as an alternative therapist. I don't normally touch the poop but just this once I decided to look into who actually said what when they claimed that Mel Gibson had exposed the hollywood pedo ring - turns out a reporter who doesn't exist made some quotes that were never said back in 2017 that have been circling the globe as unquestioned fact ever since by pizzagaters et al. I pointed out that the quotes he was using to push this poo poo were fake and the whole thing got memory holed. The original post they'd shared vanished and every part of that interaction disappeared from my activity log. I was actually hoping to talk this out but instead they just moved on to the next bullshit conspiracy circlejerk. Facebook really is creepy AF and the way they're playing with these vulnerable people is despicable.

Perhaps the craziest thing of all is I do actually believe that elite occult pedo circles probably exist - and can still see that this #qanon stuff is utter loving garbage fearmongering, noisemaking, and public opinion fuckery. It's perhaps like a mechanism that's been set to collate people who lack critical thinking skills into being neutered useful idiots who think they're being activists when really they're just screaming into the void at phantoms they don't understand while the world slowly becomes a worse place because actual critical issues don't get tackled anymore.

It's mysticism for the modern era, as you note there's a bunch of stuff that is comorbid with conspiracy theories. Some people just have a need that's fulfilled by conspiracies. It's nice to feel like you're part of secret knowledge and that you're right and everyone else is wrong, or at least it can be, initially. Over time of course people start to get alienated by the lack of acceptance of their ideas in wider society and that pushes them further into the conspiracy zone. It's why I think a lot of people start with stuff like woo medicine and political thriller kind conspiracies and eventually go right off the deep end believing that the lizard people control the world.

And possibly also why some people start off being sort of lefty and end up being hardcore anarchists and/or dead. The alienation and secret knowledge factor still apply and it's very mentally taxing to have a view of the world that's highly divergent from the commonplace.

What do you want to do? Who do you want to be?
That makes enough sense. I was kind of hoping that as an alternative practitioner this guy would already feel special enough without the word salad conspiracy theories but that was definitely wishful thinking on my part. After seeing friends and family turn to chuds thanks in part to facebook memes I guess I knew it was a matter of if not when this guy would get further radicalised. I'm just surprised at the timeline it's taken, like all of a sudden#greatawakening is all they post about. Pre-covid they were literally talking about themselves and what they were doing to help people, with a few digs at western medicine but never the antivax horse poo poo. They effectively treated my brother at one point, they were doing really well. And now they're just another shithead.

Crisis also pushes people to undergo radical shifts in identity and perception of the world, sometimes it causes people to reassess themselves, sometimes it causes them to reassess the world, sometimes it causes them to go bugfuck insane and grasp at whatever explanation they have been proffered by a social group they already trust.

Same basis as a crisis motivated religious conversion, really.

It's a lighthouse because turner painted lighthouses and boats, which I assume makes the top thing a ship's wheel, or a top down view of the lighthouse. And also why he's standing in front of a picture of the fighting temerare which is probably one of his most famous pictures.

Why does the bank of england want to put coded messages about the alien plan to take over the world on the twenty? That would be the first thing I would ask.

People who have no relation to the US and no knowledge about American politics or history are going on and on about Qanon and other American conspiracy crap. The sovereign citizen movement is now firmly established here and a major nuisance.

In addition to pop culture and media, America is now also the main exporter of mental illness in the world. Seems like most nations just don't have the infrastructure/societal decay to produce high quality mental illness so it needs to be imported from abroad.

The wheel logo for Turner, that's what I'm assuming it is, looks like a 2d version of the virus, a spikey ball.

EDIT:

I have a friend who has, for a couple years now, been claiming that waves from cell phones were causing him pain. He's had a bad run of things with drugs and family stuff so I guess we all assumed it was because of that. He talked to a mutual friend, who is a doctor, and he mostly told him that it probably wasn't that. I thought he gave up on it or moved on but now he's posting about 5G and the Coronavirus. Social media is really not helping America's, and most of the world's, mental health issues/crises.

The explanation I hear is that it's the conspiracy using it to mock everyone else. Like, either they're just doing it to see what they can get away with without the sheeple noticing, or when it's all revealed they'll do a Batman villain thing and be like, "You could have stopped us, if only you were smart enough to read the clues we left you!"

An ultra funny meme of Merkel before and after she started taking adrenochrome:



Here is some random rear end flyer rambling about the ~lamestream~ media and asking to go to https://www.friends-of-q.de to get the real truth



Also, word on the street is that after the successful liberation of the mole children in the US the Luftwaffe is now flying above Germany and "scanning" for tunnels and hollow places that could be bunkers. I don't even know how that one is supposed to work cause over here the satanic Antichrist is still in power so I guess the military has gone a little bit rogue? Anyway, stay tuned for the results
