QAnon Website Shuts Down After N.J. Man Identified as Operator

[DesertRat]

A popular website for posts about the conspiracy group QAnon abruptly shut down after a fact-checking group identified the developer as a New Jersey man.

The fact-checking site Logically.ai identified Jason Gelinas of New Jersey on Sept. 10 as the “developer and mouthpiece” for the site. New Jersey state records connect QAppAnon to Gelinas’s home address, Bloomberg found.

Reached outside his home, Gelinas declined to comment on the Logically report, saying only that someone had sent it to him on Twitter after it was published.

“I’m not going to comment on any of that,” Gelinas said when asked if he was behind the website Qmap. “I’m not going to get involved. I want to stay out of it.”

1. Guessing the whole operation will be revealed in short order now

I also bet they're not what they're being portrayed as.

24. If he works for a financial firm, and takes in 3rd-party income, it must be cleared by Compliance.

.

As an officer of a financial firm, he needs to get Outside Lines of Business approvals for any work that might detract from the company and especially if there are any political sponsorship or financial income received. If he didn't get that approval--his ass is fired.

Now, he's also directly linked Citi with his behaviors, and while he tried not to publicly involve the firm by directly associating himself to it, he's placed them in a bind.

2. Huh...Kurt Eichenwald and now this.

16. He'll be recieving pinks slips in the near future.

Those fellows hate to be associated with QAnon in any way.

6. Wow, very surprising the banks would be so careless

Would've thought they'd have more middlemen to deflect from their involvement. Getting careless in the days of Trump.

[LunaSea]

7. I don't think I'd want the internet

"Eye of Sauron" focusing it's gaze on me either, but play stupid games......

8. I had never heard of 'Logically' until now and boy does it make me hopeful about the future of the

internet.

I read the 'About' page for 'Logically' and found my way to the founder's Ted Talk (who has a really cool name Lyric Jain).

They also have a free app and if a library of stories they rate like other fact checkers plus an area to submit information if you believe their rating is incorrect.

They are rating a story 'Trump achieved the first Middle East peace deal in 25 years' as True and give their sources which in this case is the White House and Voice of America. They have the article there to read for review as well.

They rate 'Trump: Passed Veterans Affairs Accountability Act and VA Choice Program, we got 91 percent approval by our veterans.' as False.

9. Someone who has the wherewithal, ability, and access to peoples' personal info in his job?

“information technology specialist”, “Financial Information Security Analyst”

Someone who has the wherewithal, ability, and access to peoples’ personal info?

[Hip2bSquare]

10. Not going to get involved??!!

He wants to stay out of it...that damn fool is neck deep in it. Wants to spew all that idiotic dangerous sh*t and now wants to stay out of it now that he's discovered.

Oh no sir aint gonna happen. Get him!

[Oppaloopa]

12. I hope they post his pictures since he is so proud.

[Tarc]

18. Image is up

[getagrip_already]

11. you mean he doesn't work for the gov't with intel access?

I'm shocked that someone could build such a following based on lies and theories.

No more prominent jobs at corporations for you.......

[reACTIONary]

14. Deleted my post because...

... the article addresses my concern and provides support for the suspicion he is the Q persona.

[uponit7771]

19. good. this group is brainwashing americans and inciting violence. it needs to be eliminated

[debsy]

20. Projecting their behavior onto others

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, the Saudis, and all their mouthpiece shills are PROJECTIONISTS. That means they project their behavior onto others in order to distract from what THEY are doing (which is, by definition of projection, exactly what they are accusing others of doing). So, when we think about who we know child sex traffickers to be, who comes to mind? The Chinese? Russians? What about the Saudis? Jeffrey Epstein? Kim Jung Un, perhaps? Who is best buddies with all these people? Oh, that's right: the person who is occupying OUR WHITE HOUSE! Honorable mention to Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao. Just think about how being the Secretary of transportation might benefit one's child sex trafficking business, if that were, in fact the case.

These people are criminals of the highest order and they have hijacked our country.

26. This is the common thread that I've been seeing, too, Debsy. I'm glad you're

bringing this up. Bill Barr's daddy hired Jeffrey Epstein when Epstein was totally unqualified for the job, too. This goes deep, and it's the common thread. Bill Barr was the last person to visit Jeffrey Epstein in prison before he "committed suicide".

[radius777]

21. Exposing these people is the best solution.

They hide behind online groups and identities, perpetuating dangerous misinformation and conspiracies, and are never held to account.

22. I would not be surprised if there is a Russian angle to this.

Waiting and watching.

[dalton99a]

23. There is:

The man behind Qanon is a vile hate-merchant coordinating with OANN, Flynn and Russian intelligence.
