But a bunch of the Q weirdos would, but they'd also rationalize it into some conspiracy about liberals and 'deep state' nonsense.

Meanwhile in KGB/Fancy Bear HQ... they'll be laughing and doing vodka shots.

It's frightening that people REALLY believe this. I know someone who does and whenever we catch up she KNOWS not to bring up any of this nonsense.....it's damaging....

The pedophile "code" words used are supposedly documented in an FBI reference file. Words associated with Pizza and combined with the "pedo-code" words is what started Pizza-Gate and the Q connection.

So, yes, Ruskies hacked Podesta's emails remember? What happened to that early story about the hackers inserting the pedo-code words into Podesta's emails?

Where's MSM News on connecting the dots here? I can't recall a few years ago now where I read that story around the time of the DNC email hacking.

Q is big business now, lots of merch. Money is a great driver for some people.

To be clear, the original post by Q could have been Russian in origin, but have since been muddled by others.

According to senior SVR officer Sergei Tretyakov, he often sent intelligence officers to branches of the New York Public Library where they gained access to the Internet without anyone knowing their identity. They placed propaganda and disinformation to educational websites and sent emails to US broadcasters.[20] The articles or studies were generated by Russian experts who worked for the SVR.[20] The purpose of these active measures was to whitewash Russian foreign policy, to create a good image of Russia, to promote Anti-American feelings and "to cause dissension and unrest inside the US".[20]

Possibly we should be shutting down the branches of the New York Public Library?

But, alas, it is mostly a burgeoning collection of homegrown conspiracy believers.
