Andrew Callaghan of Channel Five interviews the Q Shaman

Woooo, doggie. This is a whole basket of crazy.

It’s also a great interview. Andrew is such a good interviewer. He lets the subject speak, asks good questions, and can redirect gently and effectively. He reminds me a bit of Art Bell in that way (and also because he loves the the odd, offbeat, and even downright crazy folk).

I had to watch in 5 minute increments in order to digest it all. It’s like he took all the conspiracy theories and the old school Coast2Coast stories and put them in a blender. We’ve got Ghandi and Tesla coils in the same breath. And a (totally legit, of course) connection between the Rockefellers, John Podesta, and the singer from Lincoln Park, Angela Merkel, Barbara Bush, and Aleister Crowley. Psychic vampires, some Satanic panic, and lots of other goodies. He starts out slow and “normal” but, by the middle, he’s running in high gear.




I was hoping to glean a little insight on how someone gets sucked down the Qanon rabbit hole, on what makes this guy tick. Haven’t decided if I found that out. What I have decided is this dude has eaten way too many hallucinogens. I met many people like him during my 20’s, when following bands and going to Rainbow Gatherings. I think he means no harm but is too far out in trippy spiritual fantasyland to make good, sane, rational decisions.

Q is a top secret government agent ivolved in secret weapons and on an on...

Why can't he see that Q is an unverifiable source? There a missing neuron there.

It only means being skeptical of "the official story" and "main stream media", but "open minded" about all of the batshit crazy stuff they consume.

Did you catch the anti-vax rhetoric immediately followed by, “Operation Warp Speed is one of the greatest accomplishments in human history.”

Cognitive dissonance.
