"Save the Children” rallies are being held in some 200 cities tomorrow. Before you pick up a sign or read about them in credulous local news coverage, know that they're just IRL QAnon events. New from me and @oneunderscore__ http://nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/qanon-looms-behind-nationwide-rallies-viral-hashtags-n1237722

These groups are specifically looking to be covered by local media. If you're a reporter looking at these groups, go to the event pages, background the organizers. @wphillips49 described the information laundering tactic here.

QAnon groups made up only 18% of those posting about #SaveOurChildren (they switched hashtags b/c of Bill Gates ). But Q groups accounted for 70% of the total interactions, according to @firstdraftnews. Meaning: QAnon groups worked like mad to spread the message.

We spoke to six organizers behind the largest rallies. They all either openly embraced the QAnon conspiracy or declined to speak on it. "We will neither confirm nor deny that,” the founder of one organization (accepting donations now) told me.
