QAnon is a Soviet operation run by its Main Intelligence Administration Glavnoye Razvedyvatelnoye Upravlenie (GRU).
Cindy Otis. a cyber security expert on disinformation and a former CIA analyst, told Reuters that RT, Sputnik and other Kremlin-backed media outlets have been pushing conspiracy nonsense about QAnon.
Russia’s GRU has deployed millions of Russian troll bots to spread misinformation online in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Putin’s goal was to divide Americans by sowing political divisions and creating chaos. This was Trump’s goal too. Many Americans believe that Trump was installed by Putin to destroy America from the inside.
To that end, Trump has met with and used QAnon supporter attorney Sidney Powell. He also met with and pardoned traitor Michael Flynn. In fact, Flynn selected Powell as his attorney so he could reinvent himself from a traitor to America into a victim of the “deep state.”
Working To Destroy Independent Press
Trump and Putin both worked overtime to destroy the integrity of independent press here in the United States. Trump repeatedly attacked journalists and media outlets in an effort to harm people’s confidence in journalism.
What Is QAnon?
QAnon is a series of bizarre right-wing conspiracy theories that detail a “secret deep state” plot against Trump.
QAnon Is Russian Propaganda
Putin/Trump troll bots worked overtime to sow discord among Americans using QAnon beginning in 2016. If Putin didn’t create the QAnon theories, he most certainly used them effectively to divide Americans.
QAnon believers have been indoctrinated to believe that the “deep state” is against Trump and all his supporters.
Propaganda uses fear to scare people into choosing sides. By telling people that the “deep state” was against them, the QAnon believers became afraid.
QAnon Followers Think Trump Is Their Savior
QAnon zealots think that a “deep state“ cabal of global pedophile elites is responsible for all the evil in the world. Moreover, they view these same elites as wanting to destroy Trump who they see as their savior. They view Trump as their only hope of defeating the “deep state.“
Putin and Trump continued to use and exploit QAnon conspiracy theories to their advantage during the 2020 election using the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump Accused Of Sexual Violence
QAnon also served to distract Trump supporters from the fact that Trump stands accused of sexual violence by more than 23 women and children—including 13-year-old Katie Johnson.
The FBI Stated In 2020 That QAnon Posed A Domestic Terror Threat
In 2020 FBI documents stated, “The FBI assesses anti-government, identity based, and fringe political conspiracy theories very likely motivate some domestic extremists, wholly or in part, to commit criminal and sometimes violent activity. The FBI further assesses in some cases these conspiracy theories very likely encourage the targeting of specific people, places, and organizations, thereby increasing the likelihood of violence against these targets.”
The FBI was right. American witnessed the horrific videos of Trump domestic terrorists attacking our Nation’s Capitol.
What Is The Storm?
QAnon predicted an event called “The Storm.” Trump was supposed to reveal a mass arrest and a mass execution of Washington figures responsible for sex trafficking children. Russian troll bots used Hillary Clinton’s name to push this nonsense in 2016 and beyond.
QAnon zealots expressed shock on Twitter threads when the Biden-Harris inauguration didn’t turn into a mass arrest event a.k.a. The Storm.
QAnon Says Trump Was Only Pretending To Collude With Putin
QAnon told believers that Trump just pretended to collude with Russia so that Robert Mueller and Trump could expose the elite sex trafficking ring.
QAnon predicted that Trump was going to stop a coup which would be led by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama.
Distract From Rapist Trump?
This was all promoted to distract Americans from Trump’s many allegations of sexual violence against children and women AND his many connections to Jeffery Epstein.
This type of propaganda uses fear to force people to choose sides.
Pizzagate
QAnon stemmed from the nonsense Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Believers of Pizzagate thought that Hillary Clinton was secretly running a sex trafficking ring out of a pizza restaurant in Washington, D.C. This ended with a crazed gunman showing up at the restaurant with an assault rifle which he shot into a closet. This was pushed by Putin and Trump to distract people from Trump’s extensive history of sexual violence against women and children.
Trump Family Spreads QAnon
Trump and his family have repeatedly supported the QAnon conspiracy theorists.
Remember when Trump famously referred to himself as “The Chosen One” in 2019?
Trump’s Game
Trump’s game was to deliberately retweet a QAnon account. Then, the QAnon fanatics interpreted his post as a confirmation of their delusion. When asked about the retweet, Trump denied understanding the post or claimed he wasn’t the one who wrote it. Meanwhile, the QAnon believers saw his posts as a secret sign for them.
Trump Retweeted QAnon nonsense and promoted The Big Lie while he grifted his supporters out of millions of dollars in a phony election fraud campaign.
Eric Trump
Recall on June 20, 2020, Eric Trump posted a QAnon meme on his Instagram account just before Trump’s poorly attended Tulsa rally. After allowing the QAnon zealots to get screenshots, he then deleted the post and feigned ignorance.
This was intentional.
Most QAnon Predictions Have Not Come True
Despite the fact that most QAnon predictions have not come true, QAnon followers have rationalized that the reason is that Q has a bigger plan. A plan they can’t understand yet. They reaffirm this to each other by saying, “Trust the plan.”
Many doomsday cults have had their “end of the world” dates go by and their tactic is to simply change the date.
This is what QAnon is doing NOW by moving the date of “The Storm” to spring of 2021.
Some Delusional QAnon Beliefs
Seth Rich — a Democratic National Committee Staffer — was killed by gang members hired by Democratic leaders because he was the source of the Wikileaks email dump.
The Rothchild family orchestrated Princess Diana’s death.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is really Adolf Hitler’s granddaughter.
The liberal elite cabal harvest adrenal glands from children and then sacrifice the children to a satanic god named Moloch.
Trump has secretly arrested child molesters spiritually—not physically—but spiritually, as in a different dimension.
Coronavirus is fake and it was a deep state plot to ruin Trump’s chances in the 2020 election by preventing him from holding his rallies.
The QAnon belief that coronavirus is fake helps to explain the anti-masker and anti-vaccine trends. This has cost countless lives.
Many Trump supporters still believe that coronavirus is a hoax.
QAnon fanatics posted using the hashtag #WWG1WGA which stands for "Where We Go One, We Go All.” Twitter has cracked down on these accounts. Many fled to the social media platform Parler. Parler is reportedly moving to Russian servers— QAnon was always a Putin-backed plan to destroy America from the inside.
Trust The Racist Plan
“Trust the plan“ propaganda stated that Trump is the leader who will bring America closer to what QAnon, Putin and Trump desire: An all-white Christian America.
QAnon beliefs are rooted in racism and anti-Semitism—remember that making one group of people believe they are superior to another group is a basic propaganda technique.
Fact: Hitler used this propaganda technique to murder millions of innocent Jewish people.
Since 2016, Putin-backed troll bots used the word "Pizzagate” and the hashtag #Pedogate to encourage Trump supporters to believe that Democrats were secretly involved in the sex trafficking of children. Sadly, these conspiracy theories have spread from Putin-backed bots to Trump-loving Americans.
Understanding Propaganda
Propaganda uses an emotional appeal—often fear—inviting people to accept a particular belief or opinion.
It uses name calling to connect a person to a negative idea or symbol. For example, Putin-backed bots worked overtime to connect Hillary Clinton to sex trafficking. This is why QAnon followers were adamant that Clinton was behind the death of Jeffery Epstein, even though she had no access to Epstein.
Propaganda also uses glittering generalities to link an idea to a positive symbol.
“Patriot” Links A Positive Symbol To Russian Propaganda
In the case of QAnon, Putin-backed bots used the word “patriot” to link racism and anti-Semitism to being an American patriot.
The biggest danger of Putin-backed QAnon propaganda is that it is working to destroy America’s shared beliefs, shared truths and even our shared reality.
Here are some seditious Republican Senators who were willing to help Trump undermine America’s faith in our free and fair elections: Senators: Cruz, Johnson, Graham, Scott, Kennedy, Tuberville and Hawley.
Even Putin Couldn’t Save Trump This Time
Trump was counting on dividing Americans to win reelection. Trump hoped to pit Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters against Biden supporters. This failed because Sanders endorsed Biden and the Democrats united to win the White House and the Senate.
The fact that Biden is a well-known and beloved leader in America made it more difficult for Trump to lie about him.
Biden is the real practicing Christian.
Decency and Integrity
Biden beat Trump because Americans knew that he would bring decency and integrity back to America.
While most Americans understand that QAnon is Russian-back propaganda designed to pit Americans against each other, there are still people who believe the QAnon propaganda.
As Trump used QAnon to grift his followers into donating money to him, he worked to overturn America’s free and fair election results.
No doubt, as Trump faces indictments from the State of New York, his next game will be to copy Flynn and portray himself as a victim of a “deep state” plot.
Trump is probably facing prosecution for tax fraud and evasion. Many are wondering when QAnon followers will realize that they have been used by Trump, Putin and some Republicans to divide our United States.
