It's amusing to see these people get worked up over Q clearance material.  Imagine how mind blown they'd be if they paid attention to R clearance materials being discussed in open public.  R...edskins....  Hmm, I probably said too much already.

Q is JFK Jr., who didn't die in a plane crash after all.  Read the whole thing.

 

Quote

QAnon believers have a saying (we believe they coined it), “Follow the white rabbit.” The white rabbit will lead you through the twisted caverns of deception, to the underground burrows of warm, fluffy truth.

 

Here is the deepest truth in this particular rabbit hole: John F. Kennedy Jr. is not really dead.

 
John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, attend an awards gala in May 1999. They died just two months later. 


To be sure, not even Q has dared claim so in public. But as the Daily Beast wrote, the cryptic author went conspicuously silent for several weeks in July. During Q’s absence, another mysterious prophet, named R (“R is the letter in the alphabet after Q,” the Beast explains), began to post on the same forum, claiming that JFK Jr. faked the plane crash and then began secretly working to put Trump in the White House and destroy the Clinton/Illuminati/vampire cabal.

 

 

Quote

Q followed up with a link to a 1956 memo he had found on the CIA’s public website — which to the untrained eye appears to have nothing to do with the Kennedys but which contained the words “guided missiles” and, therefore, raised the possibility that the CIA blew up JFK Jr.’s plane with guided missiles.

 

These scant clues were all Q’s army of amateur researchers needed to fill in the blanks. Within hours of the post, they discovered that JFK Jr. had once been photographed with Trump. Therefore, they reasoned, the two men were probably close allies.

 

Q very deliberately noted that Hillary Clinton launched her political career with a U.S. Senate run the year after the plane crash. And while JFK Jr. was not a politician and had not been planning to run against her, he had apparently once thought about running for the Senate, and, therefore, Clinton’s associates in the cabal might have thought it convenient to kill him and his family with a missile and somehow conceal all the evidence rather than risk a Democratic primary fight.


Anyway, the QAnon scholars couldn’t disprove the possibility. And neither can you, and the opposite of disproof is proof. So, proven.

 

WAKE UP PEOPLE.  JFK JR IS TYLER DURDEN.

You should look up his interviews and articles about how Trump uses a form of mass hypnosis to persuade people and plant suggestions.

I think finding out Trump’s support stems from mass hypnosis would be a great development...

"We can't say for sure that it's an homage," they said. "But one thing is almost certain: our book has something to do with it. It may have started as some sort of, er, 'fan fiction' inspired by our novel, and then quickly became something else."

 

How sweet would it be for this whole right wing movement to end up being anarchist fan fiction?  

 

I still have a hard time understanding how it’s possible that anyone seeing questionable items on 4chan fails to immediately assume it’s a prank.  Large scale trolling efforts are what they are known for.

If you want to know how President Trump's mind works, seriously read this. Most people react to him exactly as he wants. Just look at the quantity of content on here about him.

So why did I say Trump had exactly a 98 percent chance of winning when I couldn't possibly know the odds?

 

That's a persuasion technique. You saw Trump use the intentional wrongness persuasion play over and over, and almost always to good effect.

 

The method goes like this:

1. Make a claim that is directionally accurate but has a big exaggeration or factual error in it.

2. Wait for people to notice the exaggeration or error and spend endless hours talking about how wrong it is.

3. When you dedicate focus and energy to an idea, you remember it. And the things that have the most mental impact on you will irrationally seem as though they are high in priority, even if they are not. That's persuasion.

.....

Trump used the intentional wrongness persuasion play off then, and it seemed to work every time, at least in terms of attracting attention where he wanted it. It even works when you know he's doing it. If you're talking about whatever topic he wants you to focus on, he has your mind right where he wants it, even if you are criticizing him for his errors while you are there.

For example, take Trump's campaign promise that he would build a "wall" on the border of Mexico.

Common sense tells you that solid walls are not the best solution for all types of terrain. In many locations, the most cost-effective solutions might include wire fences, or digital monitoring of various types, or something else.

 

If Trump had wanted to be accurate, he would have mentioned all of those solutions every time he talked about border security.

He did make some casual admissions that the border would be secured in different ways in different places. But most of the time he ignored those details, and wisely so.

By continuing to call it a "wall" without details, he caused the public and the media to view that as an error.

So they argued about it. They fact-checked it. They put together cost estimates.

They criticized Trump for not understanding that it couldn't be a "wall" the entire way.

 

How stupid can he be?????

And when they were done criticizing Trump for the "error" of saying he would build one big solid "wall," the critics had convinced themselves that border security was a higher priority than they had thought coming into the conversation.

 

The ideas that you think about the most are the ones that automatically and irrationally rise in your mental list of priorities. And Trump made us think about the wall a lot. He did that because he knew voters would see him as the strongest voice on the topic.

It also sucked up media energy that might have focused on political topics he didn't understand at the same depth as his competitors. Master Persuaders move your energy to the topics that help them, independent of facts and reason.
