Among my favorite details: VOP isn't actually registered as a non-profit (or as anything?) but takes in tens of thousands of dollars monthly in gift cards (being very careful not to take cash for legal reasons) but will accept things like Visa pre-paid cards that are as good as cash. And despite everyone calling it "Veterans on Patrol" its official name is "VOP" because in Arizona you have to fill out a one-page form to be able to use "Veteran" in your name to prevent fraud, and VOP mysteriously hasn't bothered.

Amazing, each sentence is shadier than the last :allears:

I'd love to know what actual arabic phrase they're chanting but before that I want to remind everyone that they think "Cofeve" is angel speak for "Victory" so I'm sure this is the part where someone explains that it ties into Revelation somehow.

I still feel really unclear what the premise of why Q would be able to predict the future in some generalized way even is.

Because it's not really "The future" when all relevant players are acting according to a script determined months ago by some shady motherfuckers in a dark room with a globe in the middle of it

Somehow that's an ok thing to believe in and want to happen when they're on "Your side"

I went on a little road trip last weekend and saw a #QANON (Truth is Freedom) billboard in North Georgia. Despite following it fairly closely on the internet, it always shocks me when I see Q stuff in the real world.

Just yesterday I saw a #QANON poster accusing the CEO of Panera bread of sacrificing children to Satan glued to a junction box in Los Angeles. Looks like they're getting bolder as they lose relevance

The current Q-doctrine is that COVID is actually poisoned adrenochrome. Basically if someone you know gets it, it's just a flu and the doctors are part of the conspiracy, if a celebrity you've heard of gets it, they ate strategically tainted babies

To be honest I'm surprised there hasn't been a push in right wing media to give Trump more divine characteristics and make him to be a demigod or something.

That’s a big running theme from what I’ve seen. One day everyone will give them the high levels of respect they know they deserve. Their family will come crawling back and beg them for forgiveness, and all their ex-friends will fawn over their genius.
I’ve also seen floating around the idea that they have been chosen by Q, destined to be set into high power positions in the new post-deep state utopia that Trump will help make a reality.

This is also why I'm convinced Q will evolve while staying more or less the same even after Trump leaves the white house. The Storm is basically a rebranded Rapture and it's easier emotionally to imagine floating up to heaven and looking down on the "Sinners" in your life than it is to apologize for treating them like poo poo.

The Satanic Panic wasn't that long ago, and the West Memphis Three weren't freed until 2011. So in retrospect it's not so amazing they were locked up for so long, but rather they were ever released.

Every now and then someone goes over to Manhattan Beach with a shovel and the 100% certainty that they'll find the secret sex tunnels under the McMartin preschool once and for all. The Satanic Panic didn't really stop, so much as police stopped taking those kinds of accusations seriously while the accusers went on with their lives having learned nothing from the experience and suffering no ill consequences.

Do you mean the Getty Center? I didn’t realize someone drew a map of it. I remember a photo of a wall near the main entrance that they insisted was a secret door down into the bunker, and was a node of the mole children shipping network. Apparently if you walked near the wall you’d be killed on the spot by deep state snipers. There was also talk of Nazi psychics?

The thing about the Getty Center featuring in weird conspiracies is that it really does have an elaborate network of tunnels and warehouses directly underneath the museum that is inaccessible to the public and only higher level museum staff and government officials are allowed in.

Because it's right in the middle of dense LA scrubland and that's where the paintings go when the area catches fire. Which kinda happens a lot :ca:

I can’t wait to see where the Q coaster goes next if trump were to somehow die from this. Granted, a lot of them still think jfk jr is alive, so Donald could just be running things from the shadows for the next 30 years.

If he does die from this, I can see Q going from the loving worst ARG to the loving weirdest ARG you could imagine. Without a daily tweet/press conference/rally to apply numerological bullshit to they'll start drawing from more random sources across time and space. The legends will say that if you find the 45 Mystic Ancient Geode Amber stones you can bring about The Storm that ends the world and replaces it with a better one.

I think ultimately the whole thing is like following a television show for them—they only allow themselves to believe what they want to believe and ignore the rest to preserve the pleasure of the narrative. It’s essentially the way Americans construct celebrity as well, creating a narrative they can enjoy by forcing real historical people into archetypal roles in rote drama and not really caring that Robert Downy Jr gave drugs to a teenager to gently caress her because now he’s clean and happy etc.

This will always be the funniest thing about Q to me. A lot of their theories involve Hollywood as a unified institution acting on behalf of the Deep State pedo ring, but a cursory glance at a blog post by a major qultist will tell you that their perception of reality is shaped almost entirely by movies and pop culture

Yeah the thing about rich and powerful serial rapists like Epstein, Sandusky, Jimmy Savile, etc is that there are three kinds of people in their social and professional circles:

-Those who genuinely didn't know

-Those who knew but chose not to do anything because predators look out for other predators

-Those who knew but could do nothing or else risk their lives or at least their livelihoods

The problem is figuring out who fits into which slot can take years of coordinated effort, and not everyone's up for that

“Nuclear physics is fake” is a very real and niche conspiracy theory. They postulate that nuclear ships and submarines actually travel over undersea cables like some sort of electrified rail and that power plants are secretly just coal burning or whatever. I loving love it because every conspiracy theory has a reason it exists, like how flat earth proves the Bible, but I haven’t figured out what people get out of thinking the bomb is a hoax.

The Nazis believed that Relativity (The backbone of nuclear and several other sciences) was Fake Jew Science. In all practicality, this was entirely because Einstein was Jewish. Although if you pressed a high-ranking Nazi scientist during this time he'd probably give a long winded answer about how you can measure things like "Gravity" and "Chemistry" with practical experiments in your own home, while Relativity is something you need expensive equipment to measure and is therefore part of a plot by lying elites to attack and dethrone God.
