The book, which says it was written by a dozen “anonymous Q followers, decoders and citizen journalists known collectively as Where We Go One We Go All (WWG1WGA),” claims that Democrats murder and eat children and that the government created AIDS, polio and Lyme disease. Then there’s the belief that the world is run by a Satanic cabal led by Hillary Clinton.

There’s more. So much more. But we’ll leave it there.

QAnon emerged from the dark corners of the internet and into the national spotlight thanks primarily to supporters of Donald Trump who would show up at his rallies wearing clothes and holding signs referencing the “Q” conspiracy.

Mike Rothschild, a conspiracy-theory expert, told NBC that the book is just another way for the QAnon movement to cash in on its gullible followers, calling it “a bold new step in the endless grift at the heart of Q.”

2. What do you suppose I could charge for 1 oz vials of 'Hillary Repellent'?

Sure, it LOOKS like plain water, but at $45/vial, you just KNOW it's going to work!

7. I was going to ask if the book had any recipes

since responses to this thread are in the snarky category. Are the kids kept in cages, like veal calves to tenderize the meat?

8. There is no saving these insane people from themselves.

Cradle to grave affliction for which there is no cure.

9. Amazon has stopped tracking the sales

Because Q followers have been placing and then cancelling orders to get it to climb the rankings.

11. The RW is so easy to con

Look at Trump, look at Qanon, look at the GoFundMe wall, look at the pastors who con people. there's grifters are everywhere taking money left and right. Thinking I should come up with something cause it seems like taking candy from a baby.

14. What I don't find funny is exactly WHO these crazy Q Anon followers are...

Here in South Florida a SWAT police officer - armed, dangerous and sanctioned to kill - proudly wore his Q Anon patch with his uniform when he came to meet Pence at the airport.

15. Fat, juicy, blue eyed white babies are especially good.

Cooks up tender and the meat falls off the bone. Pulled white meat baby BBQ sandwiches. Mmm Mmm Good.

16. What's the title of the book?

It wouldn't happen to be "To Serve Man"?

17. Why Do Rethugs always project their own disgusting actions on us?

We're not the ones who eat babies.

[jcmaine72]

18. This kind of disgusting, slanderous bilge wouldn't be possible in countries with Hate Speech Laws.

Bully for them.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. I think we're prime to implement hate speech legislation in the U.S.

Start with AM radio. I occasionally listen to Limbaugh, Ingraham, etc. just to confirm they are as demeaning and divisive as ever, but... I caught Michael Savage (Weiner) a couple times and was totally disgusted by the violent spewage on his "show". They all followed the Limbaugh model and they have brainwashed a couple generations now. Q-Anon appears to have kicked up the insanity level another notch. Sad and alarming at the same time. You can't fix stupid. Just can't. And never forget that Manafort-picked Mike Pence filled in for "Nazi salute" Laura Ingraham on those AM airwaves, as guest host.

20. This reminds me of what I heard on local talk radio today about Joe Biden

So I flipped over a few minutes after the drive time show came on. I'm thinking this started about Bloomberg not running for POTUS.
The host said that he thought Joe Biden was a formidable opponent for Trump. He then started taking calls.

First caller - fairly normal sounding guy who agreed Biden would be good but that Trump will still win in 2020.
Second caller - there's something "creepy" about Biden.
Third caller- what's with all these pictures of Biden with children? Will the media report on Biden's weird history with children?

At this point I'm thinking - is this really going where I think it is?

Fourth caller - goes on this long slow but calm rant about the "dark secret" "so called elitist types" have in their background. He added (the host let him keep going) that many of these people have been exposed and that more are about to be. He then specifically said that Biden has disturbing images and stories about him that will come out.

Fifth caller (good old boy) - AOC is "dumb as a post" and Biden has some strange things about him.

The host - Jeff Katz - is a typical talk radio hack who repeats the same things listeners have heard all day on this station but I was a bit surprised he fostered this line from callers. He even added after the third caller that "Yes there are a lot of really strange images of Biden 'out there'"

When I got home I googled Joe Biden pedophile. I didn't recognize any of the websites with stories about this. Hesitantly I clicked on images - pictures of Biden at official functions with children there. There's one with, I think, his daughter in a swimsuit.

This must be a thing in the RW world. This radio show clearly doesn't use scripted callers. I guess the callers just happened to be QAnon people or it's really that prevalent out there in their world.
