The Cass Sunstein Psyop that is "QAnon"
Trump’s failed promises to “drain the swamp” should have angered Conservatives. Instead, the anger has largely been diverted and redirected, thanks to an internet phenomenon known simply as “
QAnon.”
Since the phenomenon began, the posts of the anonymous “Q” have engaged in the construction of a parallel reality — one where Robert Mueller is actually investigating Hillary and Bill Clinton; several other high-profile, corrupt Democrats will soon be shipped off to Guantanamo Bay; swamp monster John Bolton is actually “
cleaning up” Washington; and Julian Assange of WikiLeaks has been “
rescued” from the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
Despite QAnon’s having been proven wrong repeatedly, its following remains large and the phenomenon itself remains influential.
Robert Martin:
"QAnon has worked to rehabilitate some of the most tarnished and scary neocons to all of a sudden be heroic figures.” Among the figures who have been promoted by QAnon as heroes resisting the “deep state” include Blackwater founder Erik Prince, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former Mayor of New York City turned Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
In fact, Martin asserted that QAnon appears to be an evolution of a proposal once put forth by Cass Sunstein, who had urged the government infiltration of anti-government and anti-establishment groups and, as
Salon noted at the time, would manipulate such groups in order to increase citizens’ faith in government officials and undermine the credibility of “conspiracists.”
Martin asserted that QAnon has manifested as a means of
“purposeful disinformation made to distract or control conspiracy movements,” going so far as to call for “military control” to stop the “deep state” all while being promoted by influential news organizations among Trump supporters at the behest of the White House.
Indeed, the White House specifically
asked Alex Jones to have his
Infowars Washington bureau chief, Jerome Corsi, report extensively on QAnon postings and interpret them for the
Infowars audience. Since late last April, both Jones and Corsi have claimed that the Q account was “seized” by the “deep state” and is no longer credible.
Regime change in Iran is diametrically opposed to the “Make America Great Again” mantra that espoused ending foreign entanglements abroad in order to improve the country’s domestic situation. A war in Iran would not only waste vast amounts of American taxpayer money, it would do nothing to help the situation of the average American worker, instead enriching the weapons manufacturers.
QAnon has turned reality on its head by manipulating a desire among many Americans for an end to Washington corruption. It is arguably a modern psyop like no other.
