Russia may or may not have started QAnon but the Center to Secure Democracy, which tracks twitter activity from known Russian bots and trolls on their Hamilton 68 site notes that the QAnon was the number one meme posted by them on Twitter this week.
In other words, this is likely more disinformation being promoted by Russia to disrupt America and our elections this year.
Tertiary syphilis certainly would provide a less nefarious and more reasonable explanation for Trump's words, tweets, and actions.
I am convinced that Trump is showing the early signs of Alzheimers. His father died of Alzheimers (I have a link to an article in the NY Times right after his father died where Trump discussed his father's decline from the illness if anyone is interested). It's known that severe stress can hasten the symptoms in the early stages. Trump shows many signs of Alzheimers: difficulty with memory, speaking, and reading, irritability, inability to concentrate, irratic behavior, difficulty controlling emotions, etc.
I keep going back to the recent revelation from his NYC doctor that the doctor was "forced" to write a letter that Trump dictated touting his excellent health and mental status, as well as the "glowing" report by the WH doctor about his mental status that has also been deemed suspect.
I think Trump is petrified of turning out like his father, and probably is aware of and frightened by these symptoms himself.
The more I think about it the more I am convinced that the whole "QAnon" phenomena is the work of the Russian Military Intelligence or GRU. It's just too sophisticated to be the work of some alt-right US-based group and all tweets are amplified across Russian Twitter accounts.
Rosieheart, thank you for this information. Paul I also got the Kremlin involved in a meditation this morning. And Rober Mercer also keeps popping up in my mind.
Gracesinger, how many Trump supporters have you ever talked with? Because from your comments, it looks like not many. And in that case, you are scared of them just because you are scared of strangers and the unknown, like most people.
I have talked with a number of them (they can be found in the UK too). They're not scary. Just people who get their information from sources that conned them. And most of them aren't any more unreasonable than the average person. If somebody says nasty things about Democrats, why don't you say: "I'm one of those Democrats." What's wrong with saying who you are? It isn't going to start an argument, it's going to start a conversation. One that is badly needed. Democracy doesn't work when everybody get their information from political campaigns, instead of talking to each other.
Of course, if somebody literally believes in Qanon or pizzagate or Alex Jones, their grasp on reality is too poor and it's a waste of time to talk to them. But most Trump supporters aren't like that.
someone said QAnon was started by Russia to distract us. anyone else see that?
Yes, they said it on Hamilton 68.
