‘QAnon’ book claiming Democrats eat children is climbing the Amazon charts

Via Marketwatch

The reviews are in:

“Absolute garbage!”Pamela.

“Don’t waste your time on fake drivel!”Ted.

“Shallow writing for the gullible”Dellem.

Yet “QAnon: An Invitation to the Great Awakening,” a book pushing wacky conspiracy theories, has become an Amazon AMZN, +0.09% best seller, cracking the top 75 among books sold on the site in recent days, according to NBC News.

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.”

Nevertheless, the book keeps selling and racking up questionable glowing reviews, which Jason Kint, CEO of the trade association Digital Content Next, chalks up to manipulation and the lack of oversight on Amazon’s part.

“To be clear, they absolutely shouldn’t be censoring the availability of books like this,” Kite explained to NBC. “But the fact we’re left only with the publisher’s own description of the book and a clearly gamed set of 5-star reviews — how is the average shopper supposed to know this is toxic garbage?”

I haven’t followed the Q babble in over a year, having got tired of assertions Trump was imminently to pull the plug on the deep state swamp only to see him fill it to the brim with Bolton, Abrams, and crew. I’m vaguely aware of some sort of countdown on now for a major event that’ll spell the end of the swamp; runs out in 17 or 18 days, I think. When that date passes with nothing haven’t happened, Q enthusiasts will still believe. Just like the deluded souls who used to wander the streets with end-of-the-world placards, changing the date when the world somehow survived.

You seem awfully displaced to be using phrases like deluded, must be nice to posses such powerful intuition eh?
Thanks, I’ll stop listening now, whew…what would I have done without your powerfully insightful feelings.

This book is for those who don’t know about the subject, and a reference book for those that do. The reason, many gave up is because things didn’t happen fast enough for them, yet, don’t understand the process behind the goals.

The title of this article is a bit misleading. The subjects described are more complicated than just that. A few select do participate in sex, trafficking, and/or sacrifices with children. The majority is more about Deep State Corruption, and other crimes, committed against humanity and this Country. The author(s) are more than just a couple, and have followed Q from the beginning.

Otto,

I had to come down to the comment section as soon as I read this

“Mike Rothschild, a conspiracy-theory expert, ”

In hopes to see someone else catch It! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.

Unbelievable!

They are laughing at us!

When I read a Rothschild was an expert on conspiracy theories, I went back to top expecting this to be from the Babylon Bee.

Haha, we all caught the same thing. A Rothschild talking about grift is as fucking rich as it gets.

Ever see that movie about the village (maybe it was called “village?”) where the kids were told there were demons in the woods so they would never leave? It was to keep them from discovering the modern world. Someone always opens the box.

https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Bowling-Alone/Robert-D-Putnam/9780743203043

I read just a bit about this concept (Bowling Alone) twenty years ago and didn’t realize the long term impact the removal of those community bonds have upon us. I was on an office “bowling league” longagofaraway. League night was a festive gathering in many ways giving people the opportunity to work in small groups toward one goal. Knock as many of those pins down as possible and win prizes.

Sounds a bit like war.

Anyway, I still believe there is a “core” group of Q investigators, but we used to call them intrepid reporters and praise them for digging for the truth no matter what.

Now, there is a QAnon Industry to be fed and an anti-Q gaggle throwing stones.

I am not throwing stones, but I’m also not waiting to be fed.

Stucky? I didn’t mention ANY thing about goats, Nick or my old Air Force friends I bowled with. Or the painting.

The phrase ‘conspiracy theory’ was coined by the CIA. What is Operation Mockingbird?

The year was 1968.

The moon landing hoax had a lot to do with it!

Kennedy narrative fell apart. Queue Operation Mockingbird and “conspiracy theory” ridicule.

Q Anon is a four flush shit.

You have to flush it 4 times, because it keeps trying to come back!

When Democrats aren’t having sex with children (ie Tom Hanks & dozens of other Hollyweird A-listers, and dozens of Democrats in Congress) , they’re dining on 3rd trimester aborted children. Leftism is a death cult so this behavior shouldn’t be surprising. Meanwhile 73,000 migrants crossed into the USA illegally in February alone, 50,000 of those from Central America, meaning 50,000+ were released to be added to welfare and Democrat voting roles. The USA is imploding into a failed state due to Democrat sabotage on a hundred different fronts. Time to bail.

Q LOL just like the guy on Star Trek. Little background, snaps his finger and he is gone. He is probably playing 7 dimensional chess with the Orange Golem. Looking back on Trump and the last 2 years, he has managed to do 1 thing. Cut taxes for the wealthy. Other than that, he has not done shit for the average guy. He has increased H1B visas, which is really ripping the ass out of the middle class, when a rag head will come and do a high tech job for Walmart wages.
Q, Trump, Capitalism, Socialism, it is all bullshit. I think I will go watch fight club for a happy ending to this. Were is our Tyler Durdin. God knows we need one.

That’s almost as funny as the Mueller Report on Amazon to be published on 26 March. Apart from this ‘best seller’ there are at least 7 other books on the same topic. What happened to ‘wouldn’t be available to the public’?

As for that QAnon book, it was written by multiple authors in a rush to be ahead of all others being written. Yet these same authors criticise others for monetising Q. Muh projection!

Even PapaD is tweeting about advance orders for his ‘tell all’ book. Oh, and how is Michael Cohen’s book doing? Has it been published yet? Comey, McCabe et al?
