Millions of mole children used as sex slaves and harvested for their adrenochome (A thing only referenced in passing in a few fiction books which got it from some sketchy 1950s research papers that were long ago discarded as being non-sense) living in underground caves right under everyone's noses is a pretty good one. I mean, where does the supply of children come from? Also, people would probably notice the thousands of trucks and trains needed to bring food in and remove garbage daily. Are they living in pitch darkness in there or tapping the power grid? Candles? What about materials for support or equipment to pump out water? Not to mention that this whole thing is managed in perfect secrecy. Or that it's so abhorrent it makes your skin crawl but theres been like one mentally unstable guy with the balls to get a gun and go check it out which implies that the Qanon's don't really believe it either.

If you were an internet conspiracy of 10's or 100's of thousands of 'weaponized autists' that can slueth out hidden meanings from the barest of references and were true believers wouldn't you put some effort forward to actually finding and helping these children?

The thing about Q is that it's got something for everyone. Anyone can find a conspiracy they like or wish to ridicule inside it's wide beliefs.

imo baby q is the dumbest thing to come out of qanon so far.

quote:

Perhaps the most controversial faction within QAnon centers on Austin Steinbart, a twentysomething man nicknamed “BabyQ” who claims to be Q himself.

Steinbart’s supposed origin story is mind-bending even by QAnon standards, centering on the idea that an Austin Steinbart from the future has come back in time as Q to leave clues to the currently existing Austin Steinbart. Despite facing near-total ridicule from other QAnon personalities and pending federal extortion charges, Steinbart has a devoted fanbase, including a rotating cast of roughly a dozen acolytes who live with him in a house in Scottsdale, Arizona, and devote their lives to promoting him as the face of QAnon.

It sounds nuts, but people have bought into this stuff! Or at least, they did until Steinbart was arrested yet again this month while allegedly in possession of a plastic penis meant to dodge drug tests.

After thinking about it, as ridiculous as those are, JFK Jr. might be the dumbest. Because while it's not that conceptually crazy in the conspiracy world for someone to fake their death to go undercover, JFK Jr. has been explicitly disavowed by Q, who implied that it was probably mainstream media disinfo to sow division and make them all look stupid. So, Q people still waiting for JFK Jr. might take the cake somehow over mole children, since even their own prophet is calling them out for it.

That was the founder, but it's owned by Jim Watkins now. A guy who makes his money by producing Japanese porn in the Philippines to sell back in Japan, to get around the censorship requirements on porn produced in Japan. Also due to hosting changes there is 0 way for us to know if he decided to replace the original Q after he took over the website.

All to manufacture a chemical with a well known synthetic pathway from catechol in the same way that they used to manufacture meth in the 60s.

But no, you can't ask a lab in China to manufacture it, nor can you use the existing terrible practices in factory pig farming to get mammalian adrenochrome, nor can you even use Chinese prisoners or the actually existing child concentration camps on the border. It has to be thousands of American children trafficked in nightstands by Wayfair. Nothing less will do for the Clintons.

And they don't even tie the very real EpiPen shortage into the conspiracy.

It has to be harvested from children who are in pain, otherwise it won't work and the user of that batch of adrenochrome won't see the full benefits and will get the COVID.

There's a long-standing conspiracy theory that an unnamed shadowy conspiracy group spoiler: it's the Jews are trying to undo white people by eroding traditional gender roles and masculinity thus making white women more open to mixing with other races. Like basically the South Park Crab People is something people actually believe.

Honestly I think the grand majority of them don't really believe this, it's just an excuse to prove to themselves that they didn't get suckered. Sunk cost fallacy. If it turns out that trump is waging a secret cold war against monsters then it doesn't matter *how* lovely a president he is, he is objectively a 'Good President', and they cannot fathom the fact that they got suckered.

And then there's the racists among them who if there wasn't the QAnon to draw them in, would be making up *other* conspiracy theories, just to give them an excuse to hate and otherize people.

I do think most Qanon people believe the virus is real, they just think its a chinese manufactured virus (or natural and released here by china) and also not any worse than the flu, the media just over reports it to help Joe Biden and to let Gates install a chip in your blood with a vaccine.

Basically the death count is to a point where only the most obstinate say it isnt real, so you have to defer to "its real, its just not that bad/you cant just fear death"
