Q is Russian Pysops

A Thread

Russia wanted to boost patriotism and rebranded a British show into a Russian equivalent called Name of Russia. Embarrassingly, Russians chose Stalin to win. When asked why, the consensus was “we don’t know why Stalin was sent from God. But he was” Sound familiar?

This idea that an imperfect leader would be sent to guide Americans out of the dark and save them from the satanic leanings of the elite is a common theme in Qism.

Putin propaganda has a lot of basis in this hero worshiping of authoritarian figures. Q believes Trump to be a “warrior” who will save them. They also excuse his inaction against Putin because Russian propaganda would include propping up Putin in addition to Trump.

Q often excuses the propping is of dictators and will even be forced to come to their defense rather than begrudge Trump for it. “THE LONE WARRIOR” tweet was clearly a dog whistle tweet to the Qult by Trump and the use of the word warrior isn’t by coincidence.

The Russian Night Wolves motorcycle gang, in needing to better keep their people in line and avoid problems with the state, began spreading nationalism propaganda that included rumors the Bandidos in Russia would be coming in droves to flood Russia with drugs and crime.

6The Russian Night Wolves motorcycle gang, in needing to better keep their people in line and avoid problems with the state, began spreading nationalism propaganda that included rumors the Bandidos in Russia would be coming in droves to flood Russia with drugs and crime.

They changed their creed and insignia to be less “rogue” and more “state” and in doing so, were allowed to continue their gang while aiding the State in spreading xenophobia fears of outsiders across Russia.

It never mattered that the number of Bandidos actually criming was overblown. It only mattered that the message of nationalism and having an enemy to deflect to was being spread.

Sound familiar? It should. One of the first propaganda campaigns by Trump was this idea that Bad Hombres from South America would be flocking in droves to rape our women and children.

Migrant caravans fleeing war and poverty were making their way to the US, and yes that likely included some criminals, but they were coming here because the US had always had a process for refugees and work visas that would aid these desperate families.

Why would Trump be anti migrate workers all of the sudden? His properties were comprised of a great many of them. It goes back to his election platform. Build a wall! It was never about reducing crime.

It was never about immigration reform. Those things get sorted by congressional laws. It was always about Putin’s plan to sow division from within. He’s a pro at it.

This one seems so blatantly obvious. Russian propaganda has been working overtime to plant seeds that Ukrainian fascists are taking over and crucifying children.

“On seeing the horrors of such inhuman torture, an ordinary viewer would have only one intention: to join the volunteer forces and ‘seek revenge against the Ukrainian fascists’.”

Join Q! Save the children! It doesn’t even matter how outlandish the lie, re: mole children. They THINK they’re fighting the good fight because they see his “proof” from Russian Internet sock accounts and don’t look past their shock and horror to even research of it’s true.

Putin saw this work beautifully on his homegrown disinformation campaign, and knew if he could back someone with as little interest in reading and education himself for president, that at least 25% would fall for anything that leader quantified...

...both intentionally and unintentionally. That 25% is what makes up the majority of his solid, dwindling base.

Q’s love the idea of America returning to “Christian values”. When arguing on the fact that early American Christian values were oppressive and often violent towards women, children, and people of color, they don’t have much of a retort that doesn’t read racist or sexist.

This returning to value decree is another Russian propaganda talking point that’s not really factual in what’s happening in Russian. Putin propagandists like to speak about a return to morality over ethics, virtue over goodness, and of course “rule of law”.

“QAnon believers think there is a time coming very, very soon, when Trump is about to arrest all their enemies. And they have believed this for years, they have believed this is just about to happen for a very long time...

...despite that it has never happened, they believe this is just around the corner,” David Smith from the United States Study Centre at the University of Sydney told SBS News.

“There is a lot of conspiracy theory going on in mainstream conservatism right now, the president is a big fan of it, so when someone from QAnon makes some suggestion that some Democrat is guilty of a certain crime...

...there are people who don’t have any familiarity with the QAnon ethos that might retweet that and it sort of pushes it into the mainstream,” Dr Smith said.

“For a start the president of the United States is himself a conspiracy theorist from his pushing of Birtherism,” he said, referring to the idea that former US President Barack Obama was not born in the US.

“If not a conspiracy theorist in every way, he is someone who gives a lot of room to conspiracy theories, more so than any other president before him, so that legitimises that move into the mainstream,” Professor Fleming said.
