A question about Q lore:

What did Q believers think was happening to all the parents of the thousands of children abducted at satanic pizza parlours or whatever they believe?

Did they think these distraught parents didn't file police reports? Or go on TV crying for info on their missing kids? etc. Or were the parents supposed to be in on it too?

You put more thought into their theology than 99% of the adherents.

Oh, and don't forget that every scientist and engineer and architect and anyone who has ever worked in any kind of metalworking/blacksmithing capacity and millions of firefighters and general knowledgeable people, some 4 billion people, are all in on the 9/11 conspiracy and only like 20 million truly dedicated cranks have not had the wool pulled over their eyes because they know steel has to be liquified to lose its structural integrity even though you can bend 700°F steel with your finger, let alone 30 million tons of concrete.

Is Q international, or just American?

Are Swedish kids being sold in pizza parlours? Morroccan kids? Japanese kids? etc.

Does the evil Demoncrat conspiracy reach all the way to the Australian Labor Party? Is Narendra Modi a servant of Q or a servant of satan? etc.

At this point yeah it's probably every country. The thing about Q is you can kind of imprint whatever conspiracy you want on to it.

Anything in a conspiracy theory can be explained away. It doesn't matter how crazy that explanation is, since the thing they're trying to explain is crazy anyways... so why not.

did you know there was a blackout in the vatican?
why?
because it was used as a cover to arrest the pope for child trafficking.

how come no one has reported it?
because mainstream media

who gave the order?
the Italian National Prosecutor's Office

why would italy have jurisdiction over the vatican anyways?
because the vatican is in taly

no its not. is the italian national prosecutor's office even a real thing that exists?
well it must...

the vatican is its own country thus italy arresting the pope is akin to invading a foreign nation, right?
well... he was arrested. did you also know the fbi is flying into the vatican to interrogate him?

why would the fbi be interrogating the pope, and wouldn't the people in the vatican make a statement about their head of state being kidnapped?
pakistan also had a blackout.

There's finnish Qltists, but they just copy everything from americans. Everyone is communist and democrats are to blame, even there's no "democratic" party here.
Germans had some own lore, there was some sacrifice stone that was vandalized by Qltist. I think Merkel was sacrificing kids there.

In other the uk is a crumbling disaster news

quote:

DUP leader Arlene Foster has said a potential vote on a united Ireland would be "absolutely reckless".
She was speaking after a poll commissioned by the Sunday Times in NI found 51% of people want a referendum on Irish unity in the next five years.

Provisions for a possible border poll on Irish reunification are included in the the Good Friday Agreement - the deal which led to peace in Northern Ireland after decades of violence.
It states that the Northern Ireland Secretary must call a border poll if it at any time it appears "likely" to that a majority of people in Northern Ireland would vote for a united Ireland.

The polling was carried out by Lucidtalk in Northern Ireland, with similar polling in England, Scotland and Wales to gauge attitudes towards the union.
It found that in Northern Ireland, 47% still want to remain in the UK, with 42% in favour of a united Ireland and 11% undecided.
However for those aged under 45, supporters of Irish reunification outnumber those who want to stay in the UK by 47% to 46%.
Respondents also said they believed there would be a united Ireland within 10 years, by a margin of 48% to 44%.

It really is shocking how badly our government has handled it. As an island nation you'd think it would have been much easier for us to control our borders than the rest of Europe, and manage things how New Zealand did (though they have a tiny population, which presumably helped enormously). But Boris had already changed the government to set it up for handling Brexit and nothing else and so they were completely unprepared for dealing with a pandemic. He didn't help by failing to take it seriously and went around shaking hands with everybody he could until he stupidly caught it himself.
By which time it had spread across the entire country at a fairly low level, making it a viral tinderbox ready to turn into a gigantic wave of infections. Which is exactly what happened.
In short, this is all loving David Cameron's fault.

There's absolutely Qidiots in Australia, most often seen recently at anti-lockdown protests:


They have their own homegrown conspiracies as well. Remember when we had that covid outbreak in Melbourne and the state government imposed a surprise hard lockdown on several large blocks of community housing apartments? The aussie QAnons were convinced that the apartment blocks were access points to the secret underground tunnels that pedophiles use to move stolen children around Melbourne, and the cops blocked access in & out so they could secretly evacuate the kids.
Also our beloved tourist steam train Puffing Billy apparently has a secret pedophile tunnel running underneath the tracks which is used to move stolen children to secret pedophile compounds out in the country.
Etc etc etc you get the idea

They often think that these parents sold their children. That is, they are part of the conspiracy and also evil.
For those who didn't, the conspiracy selectively buries their police reports.

The Q conspiracy is perfect because it's so ABSOLUTELY VAST that it's plausible for anything to be connected back to the conspiracy. Which begs the question of just how in the hell you are supposed to fight such an all-emcompassing world conspiracy. It literally, to them, involves at least a billion people

Exactly. There was a perfect idea from Robert Anton Wilson years ago, where he talked about "strange loop" conspiracies: schemes so vast and labrythine that if they were true, then anything could be true. If Trump is a 4D chess playing genius battling the deep state with clones and deep fakes, then any news or books could be fake, your neighbors could be agents, COVID a conspiracy to put 5G chips in you ... Basically complete psychosis.

In the UK I've encountered what looks like a slightly off brand Q: Trump doesn't feature in it, but there's a weird fixation on Hillary Clinton and the deep state and a wide assortment of generic wingnuttery: anti-vax, climate change denial, big pharma etc. When you have the Tories running the country like an old boy club in plain view.

Use shamanic principles and oiuja boards as memory aides

Or develop home grown cottage industry saphire farms

Hell, one time we made an art mid mania, it was rad



My point is though, my friend ,in the midst of his mania has drawn these threads together in a way that makes as much sense as you or I saying the sky is blue and the sun will rise

The only way these people have to express it is these boards where they string the ideas ( that make so much sense, CANT YOU.SEE ITS SO CLEAR!) together.

The board isn't for you, the process of making the board is them trying to make sense of all this bullshit that has been fed to them. It's really sad

You can google.image search "schizophrenia art" and see this desire filtered through talent and it's really breathtaking sometimes. But it can have really similar artistic qualities. (Use of iconography, labels , a lack of curves in the aesthetic)

In college we had an English professor who gave us a poem, but the lines had been cut apart from each other and we were to reassemble them back into a coherent form and explain the poem.

We all dutifully did this in small groups. After we all gave our small presentation the prof told us it was written by an insane dude in prison (iirc) and we just spent an hour trying to make sense of gibberish.

You can find meanings in anything if you're trying.

Here's a link I found to a dude trying to do the same thing as an assignment, except they were given the full poem:

I mean I get that. I'm a big fan of Rudimentary Peni (also possibly the best band name) and the lead singer's art, even if I only partially comprehend it. But it had a sort of pattern to it. Those signs are massive lists that make like... grammatical sense if you have time to actually read them. I could at least see a sort of artistic sensibility just glancing at your friend's cool art. That sign and whatever are just these massive lists that nobody could parse at a glance. That's why protest signs need to be snappy! Unlike my post. Because lol Trump lost.
