On the topic of projection, I wonder where the "Pizzagate!" frothing-at-the-mouth QAnon geniuses are, now that the actual sex-child-trafficking conspiracy has been revealed, just that it involves their champion fascists.

Hah at one point they were saying an online furniture shop is a website for trafficking children hiding in plain sight, using coded messages to describe said children (something like "leather sofa" meaning "blonde teenager" or some insanity like that). Come on you freaking geniuses, the Epstein emails show that they don't need codes on a public website, they just talk to each other in plain speech, but over email!

A child-trafficking conspiracy was a total fabrication, meanwhile a major child-trafficking conspiracy was happening under everybody’s noses. What a coincidence, huh?

Seems to me, like all legends, it started on a kernel of truth, then it evolved into something of its own. Not sure why you believe Pizzagate to be totally unrelated to Epstein.

But Epstein met the guy in charge of 4Chan the day before /pol got created to "contain" the fascists.

And that's where QAnon started.

So now we have meta-conspiracy theories about who started conspiracy theories.

The issue with pizzagate (and a lot of these conspiracy theories) is not that it was directionally incorrect about 'some heinous shit is going down' (which is a good cold reading any day of the week in any age), it's that it jumped to specific and often just unhinged conclusions from basically zero evidence.

The latter part tending to both create more problems and give cover to the existing ones.

No, the only issue is that it was a purposeful distraction from the real heinous shit. The rest is a distraction from the fact that it was a distraction.

They just ended up in the wrong kitchen, instead of that particular pizza parlor they were supposed to go to Florida instead...

I'm asking about where the Pizzagate outrage brigade is... Are they quiet now because it's their own champions who are implicated?

To be honest I haven't been looking out for them, but I imagine the news/the Internet detectives would've covered them.

"Kernel of truth", hah. Feels more like a distraction tactic. "Oh, Trump barged into dressing room of teenage pageants, let's accuse the other side of running a trafficking ring!"

They just got the wrong place. It was Pizza Express in Woking.

Always cute to see people speak with such confidence about stuff they know nothing about.

QAnon was always controlled opposition, unlike the website that was monitored then closed by the feds (CF) via false flag attack.

Always cute to read people who speak with such confidence but just dole out partial information, seemingly bragging "Ooh I know something you don't".

You sound like yet another conspiracy nutjob, but to be explicit: What website? What controlled opposition, where's your info from? I don't know if I'm just feeding a troll who'll be gleeful because in his brain he "knows" something others don't know, so that makes him special; or if I actually want to learn about whatever other meta-conspiracy that made you special...

qanon was almost certainly foreign agit-prop. it may have started with a real human but if you think they're running false-flags out of 4chan you're literally insane.

the US Gov doesn't need to go to 4chan, they can get headlines in the Washington Post and NBC.

why would Q-anon continue to advocate for Jan 7th and overthrowing the gubmnt even after Biden won?
