Q(Anon) is a Psy-Op… But That Isn’t the Point
Who is to say that good people can’t practice mind control as well?
(If you are fresh to the Q phenomenon, you may wish to read my introductory Facebook post first)
What exactly is a ‘Psy-Op’?
I’m sure you’ve seen this form of linguistic ammunition deployed from both sides across the battle ground that is social media. It is, strictly speaking, a contraction of the term ‘psychological operation’ — which is typically used in the context of military, government or corporate intelligence operations (usually of a nefarious nature). It involves the selective conveyance of information with the intention of influencing the cognitive capacity, morals and/or emotions of a targeted group of people.
It is, in short, a tool for mass mind control. Thus, the main thing we can take from the increasing use of the term within social discourse is as evidence of the pernicious extent that mind control now exists in our world.
Mind control you say? How dare you sir! I am fully in control of my own patterns of thought, how they dictate my moral worldview and how they impact on my emotional wellbeing, thank you very much.
Hmmm. How does that claim really stack up? Can any of us accurately identify the source of our modes of thinking and how we learnt, for example, what is right and wrong? Or are our thought processes the cumulative and amalgamated product of the multiple and varied sources of information we have had to negotiate across our journey in this world? In other words: to what degree are these mental landmarks that guide us actually our own creations?
What about your emotions? Many of us, so many of us — mostly without fully appreciating it, given it is all we have known — feel bad for no tangible reason. We explain this phenomenon in various ways: anxiety, depression, really the whole suite of emerging mental health descriptors. But none of these labels can escape the fact that, if we really had our minds to ourselves, we would banish these feelings overnight.
What if these intangible, invisible illnesses are a product of being controlled and kept in a place of instability by forces we are unaware of? In other words: it is these external forces rather than our own perceived deficiencies that are maliciously impacting on our mental wellbeing.
You’ve practiced mind control yourself, almost certainly, unless you truly are an angel: when you wanted to make a friend, when you went on a first date, when you made a carefully manicured social media profile. As humble as your efforts may have been, hopefully you learnt quickly how dangerous a practice it is, and hopefully it gave you an appreciation of how easily someone might employ the same tactics in the opposite direction.
Because mind control is the modus operandi of the socio/psychopath. It is employed in abusive friendships and relationships where such an individual can, seemingly inexplicably, lock their chosen target into a state of cognitive dissonance: where the target continues to believe that the person they are entangled with is worth persisting with, despite so much evidence to the contrary.
If we are to accept that this practice of person-to-person mind control exists — and there are enough witness testimonies everywhere around us to make it impossible not to — then little of an intellectual leap I required to deduce that mind control could also be employed by such individuals occupying higher positions in society, directed towards multiple people below them.
And this is one of the central claims of any half-decent conspiracy theorist: that we, as a population, have been collectively mentally manipulated into acquiescing our power to people who have made it repeatedly clear that they do not have our best interests at heart.
Of course, the cosmic joke is on them, at the end of the day. Unbeknownst, these pitiful socio/psychopaths are also mind controlled themselves: trapped in a pattern of thought that mistakenly leads them to believe that living a selfish life will ultimately work out well for them.
Knowing this, we can approach the often triggering topic of mass mind control from a more detached position.
What evidence do we have that mind control on a mass population level is a thing? We see it right in front of our faces: with advertising, entertainment, election campaigns, basically anything to do with politics. But just how deep does it go?
We know through these examples that people are literally fighting for control of our minds. But we know it because we can see it, and we can see it only because they don’t seem to be very good at it.
Well, what if there are people who are good at it: far better than these hack marketing agencies, B-grade actors and hapless politicians? How would we even know? Presumably, we wouldn’t.
Want a head scratcher? Breakdown the word Government. ‘Govern’ means, unambiguously, to control and direct; while ‘ment’, if one chooses to understand it as the derivative of ‘mental’, is that relating to the mind. It seems almost too obvious to be true — that a government exists as an entity to control minds — and indeed there is much conjecture to be found about whether this interpretation is etymologically-misguided.
But hey: if Governments were in the business of mind control, that’s what they would want you to think — it’s just a conincidence! And if this pandemic is any evidence — the fact that governments have convinced us to give up of many of our previously assumed freedoms and liberties for a virus that, according to offical CDC figures, now seems less fatal than the flu for all age groups except the elderly — they know how to employ it successfully.
But of course they can. We have documented proof that Governments practice mind control, as evidence by MK-Ultra: the CIA’s diabolical experiments on often un-consenting human minds in the decades following WWII. Certainly, many techniques seem outlandish, and can only be undertaken in a laboratory setting — hallucinogens, hypnosis, electroshock therapy and even brain surgery. However, the technique of deliberate traumatising subjects in order to disorientate and control them is something that can and arguable has been applied to the population as a whole.
Perhaps more relevant for today, we also have Operation Mockingbird: the CIA program revealed in Senate hearings in 1976. The CIA is alleged to have worked hand-in-hand with the management and ownership of media companies to spread domestic propaganda, including in some of America’s most famous media names, to advance establishment agendas.
If mind control does exist, and has been employed systematically and successfully by governments in the past, then why would things be any different now?
So, back to the point: mind control is real, and the increasing use of the word ‘Psy-op’ is evidence of this.
In which case, it is worth asking the question: what is the ultimate Psy-op at work today? If you are on the right, you might say some combination of Liberalism, Socialism or Marxism. If you are on the left, you might say one or all of Capitalism, Religion and Trumpism/QAnon — with the difference between those last two becoming blurred enough to combine.
And, so, finally, we come to “Qanon”.
Firstly, some basics: there actually is no “Qanon”. This term is largely a media construction that combines: a) the online information drops by the anonymous Q with b) the mostly anonymous ‘Anon’ community who attempt to decode them. This is a misleading combination, because the Q drops are independent of and vastly different to the often wild and crazy theories of Anons.
So when we talk about “QAnon”, we really should be talking about the drops themselves, rather then the Anon community whose fringe elements are easy fodder to demonise and ridicule.
What do we know about Q? This is the main thing you need to know: the people/persons behind Q is not some gifted loser trolling the world from his (or her #feminism) mum’s basement/pig farm. It is not a group of Russian hackers laughing gleefully to each other between shots of vodka as they fool those stupid yankees yet again. It is not, in one of the more niche theories, some precocious smug time travelling white kid called Austin Steinbart.
These are ridiculous and, to be honest, laughable conclusions to anyone who has done a proper objective study of the Q phenomenon — let alone almost incomprehensibly arrogant to think that so many people could be so easily duped in this way. Thus, the good news is that you can safely disregard the opinion of anyone who still offers up this half-baked reasoning. In fact, you can probably disregard the opinions of anyone who would tell you they know the exact identity of Q.
Those who follow Q the closest believe it to be a high-level intelligence and information dissemination operation, almost certainly linked to the US Military, and almost certainly undertaken in coordination with Donald Trump and his (former) Whitehouse team. The many and detailed links between Q drops and Trump team tweets would strongly suggest that the two are being controlled by the same people.
This is no joke, in other words: these are very powerful people, some of the most powerful in the world whilst Trump was in office and Q was fully operational, putting this information out into the world and changing minds as a result.
Most people probably know Q for its political dimensions — often mistaken as Democrats versus Republicans, but more accurately understood as the Deep State versus the Patriots — and perhaps also its more colourful if confronting claims of elite satanic pedophile rings. But there are also metaphysical themes that are revealed as one dives deeper down the rabbit hole: time travel and Project Looking Glass (many of Q’s predictions have been eerily accurate, plus we also have the whole Trump time traveling narrative); ETs (many of Q’s most devoted followers are contactees, who believe Trump and his team are being assisted by other worldly forces); and a grand, cosmic narrative of a spiritual battle between good versus evil that has resonated with many in both the religious and new age spiritual communities.
It is for this reason that any attempt to pigeon hole Q followers into a single ‘Qanon’ basket of crazies is doomed for inadequacy. But hey, that won’t stop the media from trying, of course.
So, is Q a psy-op? Let me deflect for now with a different question: if it was, would that necessarily be a bad thing?
One limitation of our current fascination with psy-ops is that they have been associated almost by default with a negative moral value or purpose. But, and this is a very controversial claim to make in conspiracy circles defined by intellectual freedom: a psy-op doesn’t have to be ‘bad’. Or, more specifically: a psy-op doesn’t have to be undertaken by bad people. There can be entirely noble reasons for wanting to alter the thought patterns of a group of people, if these thought patterns lead to a great sense of individual and collective harmony and happiness.
If we go back to the offical definition of the word from Collins English Dictionary, we see it defined in the specific context of psychological warfare. Well, if there is a war for our minds going on, and I certainly think that there is, wouldn’t the good guys have to engage with the same tactics as the bad guys?
This is the thing: in a population that has been dragged to the mental edge by decades of accumulated and inherited mind control, what would it take to drag us back to our senses? It would have to be a psy-op, nothing less would work. Only this time, it would have to be one that is masterminded and carried out by people who actually have our best interests at heart.
Maybe it is just our egos that stop us from accepting this fact: not just that there might be people both so intelligent and so righteous to be able to pull off a positive-leaning psy-op; but also — perhaps more challenging — that we might actually be in need of a collective mental intervention.
So I do believe Q is a psy-op? Of course. In fact, I would go further in saying that the majority of Q followers are acutely aware of this very fact. They understand that they are having their minds moulded by people with access to a level of intelligence far beyond their own, and are investing a large amount of faith in the fact that the people doing this mind-moulding have their best interests at heart.
Thus, I would also counter the aforementioned question with this: mainstream media is no less of a psy-op than Q. But how many people who are invested in mainstream media actually realise this? Seems to me that the main difference between the two psy-ops is that one has informed its participants that they are involved in such an operation, whereas the other persists in obscuring this fact, all while insidiously boosting the egos of its followers into thinking they are the ones who know best.
And that is why the question of whether Q is a psy-op is not the point; it is the wrong question to be asking. The question to be asking, as you make your own investigations and come to your own understandings of this unique cultural phenomenon, is this: is Q a psy-op run by bad people — as we have been lead to believe — or is it in fact a counter psy-op run by the good guys who are fighting this psychological war that we are all caught up in?
Can I prove that Q is a psy-op run by good people? That Q is a coordinated and calculated operation to change the psychology of humanity — some groups more than others — in a positive direction. What it becomes in the future is another thing entirely?
No, but that’s what it is increasingly looking like to me, and certainly the outcome I am hoping for.
You may well disagree, and I don’t blame you, because I understand what it looks like from the outside. If I turn out to be wrong — we will know soon enough, but we will all profoundly worse off, if so. This is why the most intolerable people to me at the moment are those who are so invested in Q being wrong, their egos and reputations so attached to this outcome, that they fail to realise the dismal future they are manifesting into existence.
If Q is ‘right’, or at the very least ends up being run by a group of good if ultimately hopelessly optimistic people, we will ultimately know it by its fruits. And despite all the pearl-clutching about pitting family members against each other, of the terrifying devolution of right-minded friends into cult-like thinking, of boot licking a fascist regime, Q devotees display many positive characteristics in my experiences.
While it might seem counterintuitive, one of these is to think for themselves and investigate: something that OG Q-Anons — individuals who are almost always endowed with what could politely be described as autistic-leaning tendencies — often take to heart to an unhealthy degree.
They are also forced to demonstrate humility, thanks to the almost certain chance that a future prediction — made based on one’s own research into the mindfuckery that is enclosed in merely one Q post, let alone the dozens that are often drawn together to support a particularly audacious theory — turns out to be spectacularly wrong. Biden being elected President was perhaps the greatest test of this humility.
They are also required to demonstrate what might be called intellectual and moral courage: to speak their truth regardless of the consequences, knowing how they will be viewed for holding those views and the blowback that comes with aligning oneself with a deeply unpopular cause. This creates a unique and fierce type of solidarity: often expressed through Pepe memes.
A final argument I would also make, when viewing the Q phenomenon specifically within the context of the conspiracy community, is that its adherents are more likely to display levels of spirituality, faith-in-the-divine and overall optimism than the black-pilled, doom-manifesting bunch that occupies the other extreme. This is likely due to the fact that — looking beyond the political aspects of Q, the military jargon, the seemingly nonsensical gibberish, and of course the clickbait winks towards impending mass arrests of satanic pedophile elites — one finds repeated reference to themes that are both profound and uplifting. Here are some of the most noteworthy:
“Dark to Light”: we are witnessing a spiritual transmutation process unfold in front of our eyes, where the shadows of our world within which darkness has spread — whether at a collective or individual level — are being exposed to the light, allowing us to see what has been hidden. This is a nasty and unpleasant revealing, which is why there is so much nastiness and unpleasantness in the world right now.
“Trust the Plan”: surviving these transformations requires faith in a brighter future, even if it seems distant and unachievable at times. It is a faith derived from the belief that this ‘plan’ is being guided by divine forces, and is a faith that must be held even in the face of intense ridicule and derision.
“The Best Is Yet To Come/Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming”: this brighter, better future is inevitable. The path we take, the time it takes to get there, and the exact nature of the world we reach still depends on our own individual actions — however the inevitability that we will reach this new world is a certainty that has been encoded into Creation.
And perhaps the most famous: “Where We Go One, We Go All”. The promise that no-one will be left behind as we transition to this future world, assuming they make the choice that this future is one they want to be a part of.
This may be one of the most important legacies of the Q psy-op: teaching introverted, anti-social, independently minded people to work as a collective, and to remain as a collective despite differences in ideology and identity (in case you haven’t noticed, QAnon is on longer simply the abode of the alt-right incel).
Q may not have been meant for everyone: it was clearly designed and delivered in a way to appeal to its desired target audience. That it has at the minimum activated and mobilised a section of society that had effectively checked out of society should not be overlooked. Nonetheless, ironically due largely to the free marketing from its most vocal detractors, Q’s core ideology has now been effectively permeated into the public consciousness. And I personally believe these aforementioned themes will continue to shape our collective consciousness in a positive way long into the future.
Are the people behind the Q psy-op ‘good’ people, then? Only time will tell. We might find, as many are currently claiming, that it amounts to nothing more than ‘hopium’: lulling its adherents — whether by the purposeful malicious design or misplaced optimism of its creators — into passivity as the good ol’ New World Order is rolled out underneath us. On the other hand, if shit does hit the fan in the coming months and years, perhaps Q might just be the dose of hopium that a traumatised and spiritually disillusioned population requires — enabling it to survive and thrive from an impending apocalypse that has been prophesied by virtually every ancient culture and religion. And that might have been ‘the plan’ all along.
