Was “Q Anon” an FBI Psyop?

"Q Anon” May Have Been an FBI Psyop

A recent Reuters investigation may indicate that “Q Anon” was in fact an FBI cyber psyop.

The “Q Anon” phenomenon has generally been regarded as a hoax or prank, originated by online message board users in late October 2017, that got out of control. The “Q Anon” persona was preceded by similar personae, including “FBI anon”, “CIA anon” and “White House insider anon”.

“Q Anon” originally called himself “Q clearance patriot”. Former CIA counterintelligence operative Kevin M. Shipp explained that an actual “Q clearance leaker” – i.e. someone possessing the highest security clearance at the US Department of Energy, required to access top secret nuclear weapons information – would have been identified and removed within days.

However, in November 2020 Reuters reported that the very first social media accounts to promote the “Q Anon” persona were seemingly “linked to Russia” and even “backed by the Russian government”. For instance, the very first Twitter account to ever use the term “Q Anon” on social media had previously “retweeted obscure Russian officials”, according to Reuters.

Social Media Blackout? FBI Emails Are Not ‘Trending Social Media Facebook, Twitter, Buzzfeed, Or Snapchat

These alleged “Russian social media accounts”, posing as accounts of American patriots, were in contact with politically conservative US YouTubers and drew their attention to the “Q Anon” persona. This is how, in early November 2017, the “Q Anon” movement took off.

But given the recent revelations by British investigator David J. Blake – who for the first time was able to conclusively show, at the technical level, that the “Russian hacking” operation was a cyber psyop run by the FBI and FBI cyber security contractor CrowdStrike – the Reuters report may in fact indicate that “Q Anon” was neither a hoax nor “Russian”, but another FBI psychological cyber operation.

Of note, US cyber intelligence firm New Knowledge, founded by former NSA and DARPA employees and tasked by the US Senate Intelligence Committee, in 2018, with investigating alleged “Russian social media operations” relating to the 2016 US presidential election, was itself caught faking a “Russian social media botnet” in order to influence the 2017 Alabama senate race.

If the “Q Anon” persona – similar to the Guccifer2.0 “Russian hacker” persona played by an FBI cyber security contractor – was indeed an FBI psychological operation, its goal may have been to take control of, discredit and ultimately derail the supporter base of US President Trump. In this case, the “Q Anon” movement may have been a modern version of the original FBI COINTELPRO program.

Postscript

Contrary to some media claims, the person or people behind the “Q Anon” persona have never been identified. Some media speculated that James Watkins, the owner of the 8chan/8kun message board, on which “Q” was posting his messages, might be “Q” or might be linked to “Q”, but Watkins denied this. In September 2020, the owner of QMap, a website aggregating “Q” messages, was identified as a Citigroup employee, but again no actual link to “Q” could be established.

Are US patriots being played 

and led into a trap?

Lessons from history

Seemorerocks

Some time in the middle of the night I had thoughts that came from a quiet space about everything that is going down right now, primarily in America, concerns that things are nothing like what we are being told from either side.

Then I discovered commentary from Steven and Jana ben-Noon of Israeli News Live recorded from their car which I posted without commentary and may have escaped people's attention but which paralleled my own deep concerns and also what I have been hearing from Rick Wiles and the team at TruNews.

They have since put out another video clarifying their earlier one and retelling what they had said earlier which came as a relief to me because when Jana reached the key point the sound failed and I was unable to pick up what she was saying.

I have long been concerned with how people in both America and here in New Zealand have been dumbed down over a couple of generations and have next to zero understanding of history, something that deprives them of the context they need to understand current events.

In particular, Jana ben-Noon pointed to something from early Soviet history called "Operation Trust" (операция "Трест") where the Soviet authorities drew people into a counter-revolutionary  movement so they could be identified and eliminated. Far from being a "conspiracy theory" this was an actual historical fact that is even written about in Wikipedia and in the following article.

Trust Operation

Operation Trust (операция "Трест") was a counterintelligence operation of the State Political Directorate (GPU) of the Soviet Union. The operation, which ran from 1921-1926, set up a fake anti-Bolshevik underground organization, "Monarchist Union of Central Russia", MUCR (Монархическое объединение Центральной России, МОЦР), in order to help the OGPU identify real monarchists and anti-Bolsheviks.

The head of the MUCR was Alexander Yakushev (Александр Александрович Якушев), a former bureaucrat of Ministry of Communications of Imperial Russia, who after the Russian Revolution joined the Narkomat of External Trade (Наркомат внешней торговли), when the Soviets had to allow the former specialists (called "spetsy", "спецы") to take positions of their expertise. This position allowed him to travel abroad and contact Russian emigrants.

MUCR kept the monarchist general Alexander Kutepov (Александр Кутепов) from active actions, as he was convinced to wait for the development of internal anti-Bolshevik forces. Kutepov originally believed terrorist action was necessary to defeat the Bolsheviks and formed the "combat organization," a militant splinter from the Russian Armed Services Union (Russkiy ObshchoVoyenskiy Soyuz) led by General Petr Nikolayevich Baron Wrangel.^[1]

Kutepov also created the Inner Line as a counter intelligence organization to prevent Bolshevik penetrations. It caused the Cheka some problems, but obviously was not overly successful.

Among the successes of Trust was the luring of Boris Savinkov and Sidney Reilly into the Soviet Union to be arrested and executed.

Some modern researchers say that there are reasons to believe that both persons had doubts in MUCR, and they went into the Soviet Union for their own reasons, using MUCR as a pretext^{[citation needed]}.

The Soviets did not organize Trust from scratch. The White Army had left agents behind who were sleepers and there were also Royalist Russians who did not leave after the Civil War. These people cooperated to the point of having a loose organizational structure. When the OGPU discovered them, they did not liquidate them, but expanded the organization for their own use.

Still another episode of the operation was an "illegal" trip (in fact, monitored by OGPU) of a notable emigree Vasily Shulgin into the Soviet Union. After his return he published a book "Three Capitals" with his impressions. In the book he wrote, in part, that contrary to his expectations, Russia was reviving, and the Bolsheviks would probably be removed from power.

The one Western historian who had limited access to the TREST files, John Costello, reported that they comprised thirty-seven volumes and were such a bewildering welter of double-agents, changed code names, and interlocking deception operations with "the complexity of a symphonic score," that Russian historians from the Intelligence Service had difficulty separating fact from fantasy.

Defector Vasili Mitrokhin reported that the TREST files were not housed at the SVR offices in Yasenevo, but were kept in the special archival collections (spetsfondi) of the FSB at the Lubyanka.

In 1967 a Soviet adventure TV sequel, Operation Trust (Операция "Трест") was created.^[2]

Later on Chariman Mao pulled off a similar stunt with his "let a thousand flowers bloom campaign"

Mao Says: "Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom..."

The Chairman of China's Communist Party, Mao Tse-Tung, delivered a speech in which he stated "Let a thousand flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend". To many observers, these statements seemed to indicate a relaxing of totalitarian rule. Criticism directed against the government soon developed. The government reacted, warning that the critics were 'rightists'. https://www.historycentral.com/asia/MaoSays.html

It is clear that America has we have known it is in rapid collapse and that has been engineered by the Chinese Communist Party and a Fifth Column inside the country.

The lessons of this are that we may be seeing a large psy-ops whereby patriots and supporters of Trump are lured into a similar trap so they can be identified.

Trump and Biden appear to be opposites but is this the case, really?

We all know clearly who Biden is - a stooge of the Chinese Communist Party which is something that becomes immediately apparent from the Hunter Biden laptops and the revelations of lucrative business dealings with CCP-linked Chinese companies.

But what about Trump?

Are we going to ignore the fact that at the very least his son-in-law, Jared Kushner has been whispering in his ear like some modern-day Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings. (In addition to history I am quite fond of literary allegory). Trump was all for Israel, was named as King Cyrus by Jewish and Christian zionists.

Jana ben-Noon claims to have video footage, which I have yet to see, of Donald Trump calling for execution of anti-semites.

So the point of this is that China and Israel are joined militarily and ideologically at the hip

From a American zionist site:

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/israel-and-china-connection-161351

We all know that modern Israeli zionism considers themselves to be the chosen race but it has come out that the Chinese regard themselves as a "superior race". Gen. Chi Haotian in his speech to his party comrades said the nazis failed because the Germans were not superior in the way the Chinese are, and that they do not mean to fail.

Netanyahu and his allies appear to have dropped their "King Cyrus" and Israel's chief rabbi has announced their real plans.

Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu (pictured), the Chief Rabbi of Safed and a member of the Israel’s Rabbinate Council, says that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of America as a superpower, thus paving the way for Israel to take its place in guiding civilization forward.

“It is with great sadness that we can remember this event [storming of the US Capitol] as part of the process of America’s descent from the stage of history. It’s a sad moment, but it happens,” Rabbi Eliyahu wrote in a piece for Arutz 7.

So are patriotic Americans being led into a trap in a similar way to how the Bolshevik Cheka lured patriotic Russians into a trap ?

Does the QAnon phenomenon and its "Trust the Plan" rhetoric fit this bill (once again the word TRUST).

I was drawn into the whole QAnon thing at first, like being drawn into a honey trap (and I think of the sweet and "authoritative" voice of Dave from the X22 Report who promised all sorts of things none of which has come to pass in any substantive way except to keep people going.

The spell was well-and-truly broken when one of the major pushers of this ideology, Dr. Jerome Corsi authoritatively announced that Julian Assange had been rescued by special forces and was "safe" in Austria or Germany.

All completely false along with just about every other pronouncement made.

As recently as a couple of months ago I had a friend tell me that Assange was free and enjoying a beer in Ireland.

For me, the lesson is exactly how both Israeli News Live and TruNews are warning their listeners.

Don't be drawn into a trap.

Stay at home, love your family and most of all, get your spiritual life in order.

Do not be drawn into somebody's civil war.

The ben-Noons have put another report out today:

Yesterday, TruNews came out with a similar, very strong message and announced that they would be transitioning away from 'the news" towards looking after their flock.

MORE POLITICS? LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD

Today on TruNews, we discuss the Biblical response to the Communist takeover of America and how our ministry will spend the coming future fishing for Christ rather than dying for revolution.

I am not a Christian (certainly not a baptised one) but the more I listen to these voices I realise that they are coming from a good place and are to be trusted more than the political voices.

My spirituality is another one that is inclusive and so I have no problem with Christian eschatology and the Book of Revelations. In fact I am rather sympathetic.

It all seems to speak to the times we are living in.

I shall continue to cover the news according to the extent that my energy and live forces allow it, however, nowhere near as intensively as I have recently.
