WikiLeaks Calls QAnon A Likely \u2018Pied Piper\u2019 Operation<\/a><\/h3>\n

A few months back I started having bizarre interactions on social media of a kind I\u2019d never experienced previously. Suddenly, whenever I\u2019d write about President Trump\u2019s nonstop warmongering and capitulations to longstanding neoconservative agendas like implementing aggressive new cold war escalations against Russia<\/a> along multiple fronts, the illegal occupation of Syria with the stated goal of effecting regime change<\/a>, increasing troop presence in Afghanistan<\/a>, unprecedented civilian deaths in drone strikes<\/a>,\u00a0facilitating the slaughter of civilians in Yemen<\/a>, or the administration\u2019s open regime change policy against Iran<\/a>, I\u2019d get all these weird accounts telling me things like \u201cTrust the plan\u201d and \u201cThis is the Art of the Deal, Trump is playing 4-D chess\u201d, and saying I should research something called \u201cQAnon\u201d or \u201cQ\u201d.<\/p>\n

It happens literally every time I write anything critical of this administration; a deluge of commenters telling me in effect, \u201cShush. Calm down. This is nothing. What looks like Trump facilitating longtime establishment agendas just like his predecessors is actually brilliant strategic maneuvering.\u201d Every single time, without a single solitary exception.<\/p>\n

It got particularly frustrating when I\u2019d try to talk about Attorney General Jeff Sessions\u2019 statement<\/a> that arresting WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange is a high priority for this administration, a statement Trump\u00a0personally supported<\/a>. These Q people told me they had great news for me: Assange is no longer languishing in London\u2019s Ecuadorian embassy. No, some clever researchers had deciphered some cryptic statements<\/a> from an anonymous poster on 8chan, and it turns out that Assange is now walking free and enjoying a full presidential pardon. Some even say it to Assange\u2019s own mother<\/a>.<\/p>\n
