"Reverb | The QAnon Effect"
"What started out as a fringe conspiracy theory in 2017 has recently spread into the mainstream. Dozens of people linked to the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory ran for federal office in 2020, and two were elected to Congress. This documentary explores how QAnon has taken root amid challenging times and a growing distrust in American institutions, and what it means for the future of the country.

Q was actually a huge-scale test by the government to find out how much there is mental issues in the US population and how flawed eventually is the educational system. Also what kind of mental issues occur among the US citizens and how these maladities are expressed along the shortcomings of the schooling in all levels of education when given a certain kind of stimulus, the Q-narrative of the government. The effects of the Q in other countries have given comparative data to many american scientists from almost all sciences there have been investigating the phenomena and it's results. Pentagon has also been entangled to the investigations, as well as NASA. The results are serving for example the Moon and Mars projects. Certain wealthy business, industry and finance moguls have invested huge amounts of bitcoins to the Project Q as well.

A couple things here, from a non-American's perspective: 1. America asked for this when it allowed corporations to own literally everything, including the media. American media is polarized in a way not seen in any other first world nation- and this isn't a recent thing either. 2. "Scientific evidence" has come to mean "things I can figure out with zero training"- the result of decades of blind "patriotism" and a society taking collective credit for things they had nothing to do with. America has the best R&D- it also has the least educated population of any first world nation. A country like this will constantly use that prowess in research as a point to be nationalistic on, but because they can't actually understand any of it, will end up rejecting it the minute it intrudes on their lives- as has happened during the pandemic. 3. The near cult-like obsession and worship of the constitution- again, not only is this not seen in any other developed country, it's something so totally alien to any country on earth other than the US. Blind patriotism was used as a glue to hold American society through the cold war, keeping internal dissent tamped down while the CIA and Washington wreaked havoc outside the US's borders. And now it's come home to roost- look at that one dude ranting about Communism. Most Americans can't even define what communism or socialism is. In short, America has no one to blame but themselves for this mess. Q isn't a prophet, it's a symptom. This is what happens when you raise a society with the belief that anarchic freedom is something to aspire to.

Never has a conspiracy theory ever become this mainstream. I remember the days of when it was nerdy to believe in them, and you had to find groups who talked about them. People actually did research about the topics they were discussing about, and sometimes it was just jokes. Times have changed, that’s for sure.

When I was younger I worried about the one world order, the end times, anti-government and so many things. Many beliefs came from my church. There is a feeling of righteousness and excitement you know something others do not. You want for more and validation from others. Then the church got political. There was no internet then. I got away from it because I became paranoid. I'm 72 and I know these people want to do good but the information is so wrong. I can understand how they feel but I really think it is harder to get away from it with the internet. You can not talk to them or change their minds. They will separate from you.

I keep hearing words thrown around like foolish, crazy, cultish, uneducated.... But no real instances of heres why this is false or that. I dont consider myself Republican, not a Q follower, wasnt a Trump supporter nor do I consider myself foolish or uneducated - I have a college education and an IQ of 150 with an almost photographic memory. I dont support our govt bc of shady things ive learned in past few years but i dont consider myself anti-American, im a Navy veteran. I have tried to have a civil conversation with many on this subject but can find no one with real research just cries of craziness and uneducated and cultish. Seems the deniers are as vehement and as uneducated as the people they are descrying honestly.

One of the things I don’t see talked about enough is the threat posed by popular Qanon influencers and pushers. Wildly popular among the Q faithful, most are grifters or attention seekers who know they are peddling lies. Others are truly disturbed individuals. We are only a hair’s breadth away from a ‘Jim Jones’ type gaining influence in Qanon and organizing a terrible act of violence or mass suicide.
Well, obviously, 9 months out, it’s clear their adherence to non-violence has been abandoned.
