So, I was told by a nurse that I know

[boston bean]

Who ran a testing campaign for coronavirus of employees, that one woman claimed they were doing the nasal swab test to implant a tracking chip/device in her brain. And she was fucking serious! INSANE.

Fucking crazy keeps on surprising me. It shouldn’t. Qanon has really done a number on a good portion of the citizens of this country.

1. I saw my first Q sticker yesterday..stuck right next to a University sticker....

7. Qanonsense is independent thought. Independent of reality.

2. In England and Germany as well. They've had rallies in cities all over England.

QAnon Is Thriving in Germany. The Extreme Right Is Delighted.

BERLIN — Early in the pandemic, as thousands of American troops began NATO maneuvers in Germany, Attila Hildmann did a quick YouTube search to see what it was all about. He quickly came across videos posted by German followers of QAnon.

In their telling, this was no NATO exercise. It was a covert operation by President Trump to liberate Germany from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government — something they applauded.

“The Q movement said these are troops that will free the German people from Merkel,” said Mr. Hildmann, a vegan celebrity cook who had not heard of QAnon before last spring. “I very much hope that Q is real.”



What's behind the rise of QAnon in the UK?

Until this year, the conspiracy theory was confined to the internet's fringes. But then came the pandemic. QAnon influencers took advantage of fear, uncertainty and doubt - and the fact that many people were at home, worried, and living more of their lives online. Surveys from the Pew Research Center indicate that the number of Americans who are aware of QAnon and support its ideas increased substantially this year. Supporters have been linked to several violent crimes.

In light of this, several major social networks including Twitter, Facebook and TikTok began restricting QAnon terms, phrases and hashtags on their platforms over the summer.

Believers changed tack. Urged by a Q message to "learn the use of camouflage digitally", followers avoided direct references to QAnon and began hijacking well-known, established hashtags and phrases used by genuine campaigners against child trafficking - such as the innocuous sounding #SaveTheChildren and #SaveOurChildren.

A BBC analysis based on data from Facebook-owned tool CrowdTangle, and Spredfast, found that in the last three months, the two hashtags were used a total of 1.5 million times on Twitter and generated more than 28 million interactions on public Facebook and Instagram posts. And outside the US, British followers lead the way. Our analysis of online data from the last three months puts the UK ahead of all European countries, followed by Germany and the Netherlands.

3. I guess that's easier than injecting a chip when you get inoculated

It’s all part of huge conspiracy founded by Bill Gates. I’ve been hearing this nonsense for months. When I hear a few associated buzz words I stop paying attention so I’m not really sure of the details but sounds like a lot of people believe some version of this.

I just noticed Save the Children is part of this. Here I thought I’d been helping a kid in Nigeria to eat and go to school.

4. And a person I know

who has 5 nurses in his extended family KNOWS that covid is a hoax to defeat tRump and tihe numbers are way inflated because the government is paying big $ to treat and report covid cases and deaths.....

IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY !!!!!!

talk about a faux news bubble....

[milestogo]

5. If that's the case, millions of us have tracking chips in our brain.

Although its probably more reliable to track us by our smartphones.

[lagomorph777]

6. Oops. I'll bet her employer was interested to hear that.

[berni_mccoy]

8. Your nurse friend should have told her that the chip

They insert with Covid tests is really there to counteract the chip the aliens put in her when they abducted her. And yes we all know about it.

[underpants]

9. There were Facebook posts about that at the beginning

Bill Gates 5G towers all that BS

[LaMouffette]

10. Seriously, what can we do about rampant misinformation?

If we can't find a way to combat it, I fear we are lost.

How do we regulate free speech without trashing the First Amendment and without giving authoritarians permission to censor criticism?

[tanyev]

11. It's not a tracking chip.

It's a chip that will alter her brain waves to turn her into a Socialist-lovin', Democrat-votin', BLM activist. Yes, that's the real plan. Oh, have I said too much?

[2naSalit]

12. ...

13. These people are nuts. Completely unsound.

I have had union RNs at my hospital calling me to file grievances against our hospital if they mandate the new vaccine(s). When I asked why, the responses “they are going to use it to track us!”

These are Bachelors- and Masters-prepared professionals!!!

[CaptYossarian]

14. People are saying that the chip will get you free Internet and cable TV.

She can now disconnect from home. Goodbye, Hannity!

[jalan48]

15. I understand it's been happening for years when we get colonoscopies. She and her right wing friends

should stop getting those as well.

[hamsterjill]

16. Don't forget that JFK Jr is coming back!!!

These people are scary to me for one reason and that is because you cannot reason with them! They are beyond logic and they cling to acceptance by others like them. There are a lot of them, too.

There has been no word that I know of as to the investigation being conducted by the FBI into the Trump Train incident with the Biden bus in New Braunfels, Texas. I’ve heard nothing about the driver of the black truck, Eliazar Cisneros, being arrested for that incident OR the other items pending against him.

Sandy Powell and Lin Wood, both media savvy attorneys, are pumping the frenzy. We are going to see civil war before this is over I truly fear.

17. Actual post from our local Facebook group

The group is supposed to be for things like lost dogs, traffic info, and trash pickup. Instead we get:

“ It is going to hurt us pretty badly. It is in the shot 14 week old dead aborted white male fetus lung tissue and also the needle itself will have a tracking device that will change our DNA. Do not get that shot. ”

18. Once again, I give you...

...Scientology.
