This weekend we reflect on Q Anon & the corporate state; Ong's Hat: The Early Internet Conspiracy Game That Got Too Real. "They wanted to know the truth about Ong’s Hat. They wanted the secret to interdimensional travel." https://gizmodo.com/ongs-hat-the-early-internet-conspiracy-game-that-got-t-1832229488; Chrissy Teigen blocked over a million Twitter users, made her account private & deleted over 60,000 of her own tweets after conspiracy theories connected her to Epstein https://globalnews.ca/news/7188815/chrissy-teigen-twitter/; Online Conspiracy Groups Are a Lot Like Cults; outside voices are discredited & dissent is often met with hostility, doxing & harassment. https://www.wired.com/story/online-conspiracy-groups-qanon-cults/; What are the similarities between an Italian novel from the ’90s & QAnon https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanhatesthis/its-looking-extremely-likely-that-qanon-is-probably-a; Is QAnon the Work of Artist-Activist Pranksters? The history of "Luther Blissett," the Italian media jamming movement https://news.artnet.com/opinion/q-anon-hoax-1329983; Some Q followers break away when they recognize the content of the theories is not self-consistent, or they see that some of the content is directly aimed at getting donations from a specific audience, such as evangelical or conservative Christians. This then "breaks the spell" the conspiracies had over them. Others start watching Q-debunking videos. Disillusionment can also come from the failure of predictions. Q had predicted Republican success in the 2018 US midterm elections & claimed that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was involved in secret work for Trump, with apparent tensions between them a cover. When Democrats made significant gains & Trump fired Sessions, there was disillusionment among many in the Q community. Further disillusionment came when the predicted Dec 5 mass arrest & imprisonment in Guantanamo Bay detention camp of enemies of Trump did not occur, nor did the dismissal of charges against former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon
