QAnon:  What is it and where did it come from?

by Mike Wendling

6 January


------------------ [excerpt] ------------------ QAnon is a wide-ranging, completely unfounded theory that says that President Trump is waging a secret war against elite Satan-worshipping paedophiles in government, business and the media.


QAnon believers have speculated that this fight will lead to a day of reckoning where prominent people such as former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be arrested....


That's the basic story, but there are so many offshoots, detours and internal debates that the total list of QAnon claims is enormous--and often contradictory.  Adherents draw on news events, historical facts and numerology to develop their own far-fetched conclusions. ------------------------- [end, excerpt]

     I saw a news-clip video on You Tube titled,

Biden's inauguration led to mom escaping QAnon


     It is short, and interesting.  This young mother they interview just speaks and reflects on how she became involved with believing some of the QAnon stuff online.

     She said her family had always been all Republicans, and so that's how she votes, automatically.  She said, "I just did what I was told."

     As a foreigner, the US election has been crazy to watch.  I hope your next election will be a lot more stable.


-------------------- white supremacy in the south during the Civil Rights movement said the same thing as the trump base did.  Talking about freedom of speech, state rights and that anyone opposing them were communists.


------------- The hypocrisy of Republican legislators is clear.  Honesty, truth, integrity, principle and values don't matter.   Winning is all that matters to them.

     One thing that is strange for me in Americans is that they identify themselves as being republicans or democrats, not all, but 50-55% of people feel that party is part of their identity.  

     That is really strange, uncommon in the rest of the world and in today's time a weakness for a democratic society.


-------------------------- yea I think we need to get rid of the parties because people can't focus on the real issues.  At this point the parties are just a distraction.


------------------- Parties are required for a democracy to function but, unless you want to be a politician, makes no sense that they are part of your identity.  

     They need to pitch their ideas to you for you to decide who gets your vote, not something you inherit from your parents or from where you live.
