QAnontology

I have done my research. I have looked into QAnon. To the best of my research, QAnon is a fictitious and totally undefined buzzword invented by leftists attempting to create a panicked frenzy among their gullible, stupid mind-slaves around which to "rally the troops."

What prompted my research?

1. I know many conservatives and Trump supporters across the country. I know of zero people associated/affiliated with QAnon. In fact, no one I know knows anyone who knows anyone associated/affiliated with QAnon.

2. All references to QAnon come from leftists.

3. All references to QAnon are totally vague, leaving the question of exactly what QAnon actually is wide open to speculation, i.e. it could be a "movement" but then again it could be an actual "organization" or possibly even a danish pastry.

4. The only "evidence" presented are Twitter tweets and meme images of the type that I make using GIMP. There are never any videos of people stating their names and stating their reasons for associating with the movement/organization/pastry. I did notice that every occurrence of the letter "Q", regardless of where it might reside in the world, is fair game for being presented as "evidence" of QAnon.

5. tmiddles refused to provide me any sort of concrete information, speaking volumes about what I would eventually discover.

So, here is what I gleaned from websites with information on QAnon, noting that every single one of these sites is a rabidly leftist disinformation center.

* Wikipedia: The wiki implies that QAnon is a collection of WACKY conspiracy theories, like the missing Aesop's Sininster Fables or something ... with a heavy dose of historical revisionism thrown in for good measure.

* BBC: uses the word "QAnon" as a slur for Trump supporters.

* Anti-Defamation League: wields the word "QAnon" as a notional concept meaning "support for Trump" and proceeds to totally defame it from all angles.

* CNN: doesn't want to commit to any definition of QAnon, and instead just wants the world to know that "Born on the dark fringes of the internet, QAnon is now infiltrating mainstream American life and politics." If you didn't catch that, QAnon is "infiltrating" American life, and was born on the "dark fringes" of the internet. Your guess is as good as mine as to what kind of thing fits that description.

* CBS News: decided to characterize QAnon as an "effect" but otherwise plagiarized CNN's party line: "What started as a fringe movement among former President Trump's supporters, confined to the shadier corners of the internet, has taken a mainstream turn."

* Christianity Today [My Second Favorite]: Whatever this publication might have been was taken over by Christian-hating Marxists and now it mocks Christians for not falling in line with Climate Change. CT has an article on what the Bible says about QAnon, and of course the article's take is that God should be consulted for help and strength with the following questions: "How can I confidently assess this theory that I'm believing in? How could I be wrong about this? And how would I know that I was wrong if I were?"

* The Sun: flat out declares QAnon a disproven and discredited far-right conspiracy theory alleging that a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotted against former U.S. president Donald Trump while he was in office. Apparently there is no "membership" or "movement" or people or pastries involved.

* The New York Times: explains that the reason we haven't heard anything lately is that QAnon is "being quiet" but most assuredly "lives on". The NYT take is that now QAnon has no leader so now everyone is free to tailor his own WACKY conspiracy theories to his liking.

* VICE.com [My Favorite]: I recommend this one to everyone. Apparently Tucker Carlson asked the same questions I did and decided to do the same research I did. Tucker devoted an episode to saying essentially what I have said in this post. Along comes VICE.com to play the role of tmiddles and to mock Tucker for having asked in the first place. You can check it out HERE.

I think this is enough for now. @tmiddles, there's nothing out there to even suggest that you aren't pulling everything out of your ass.

Nailed it. I'm sure tmiddles will have nothing intelligent to say about the matter.

You have now inspired me to add 'QAnon' to my Lispy Leftist List of Linguistic Lunacy.

Now at 182 line items and growing... Leftists will get it up to 200 soon enough...

The only difference being for or against.

Climate Change is Real and Alarming - Argument FOR the Assertion.

Climate Change is Real and Alarming - Argument AGAINST the Assertion.

I am happy to host the argument for on a thread of my own.

I invite you to host the argument against on a thread of your own.

Otherwise I'll be arguing unopposed into an echo chamber as far as my own thread goes.

The "echo chamber" is not because there is no cacophony of heckling from trolls.

It is because when people go to the library to find the lists of posts they want to look at, the voices of the trolls will not be represented. ANYWHERE. Except where they have been selectively quoted to reveal the weakness of their scientific arguments or moral characters.

Please don't make me debate all by myself.

I have plenty of experience lecturing, so I guess I'll make it work.

But please create a thread of your own where I can see your original affirmative arguments.

Otherwise I will never respond to ANYTHING you say about debate or climate.

I can keep this up all decade.

I intend to.

I hope you're not a no-show for the debate.

You'll know where to find my published position.
