It's using a clonal cell line that, at some point in the distant past, came from the kidney of an aborted fetus in the Netherlands. The cell line has been cultured since the 1970s.

Something tells me this is going to be a nothingburger even to the most radical of Evangelicals.

Trump could eat an aborted fetus on live TV and the evangelicals wouldn't care. Sort of like how they ignore what Jesus actually said, they ignore anything that is inconvenient

Sure sucks when someone's ignoring their own side's hypocrisy in order to win, doesn't it. Get used to it, 'cause it's looking like a trend (finally thank fucking god).

I don't mean to normal political types, I mean to the flat-earth conspiritards this thread is dedicated to.

the thing about qanon followers is they really only pay attention to what big qanon accounts tell them to focus on at any given moment. so, to give one example, if PrayingMedic on twitter doesn’t bring it up, it’s not real. or it didn’t happen. or it’s fake news. take whichever explanation you like, if Dave (PM’s real name) didn’t write a 57-tweet thread including that information, it’s probably just a libtard lie.

QAnon Is Thriving in Germany. The Extreme Right Is Delighted.
As the U.S. conspiracy theory goes global, it has found fertile ground in the putsch fantasies and anti-Semitic tropes long popular on Germany’s far-right fringe. Counterterrorism officials worry.

BERLIN — Early in the pandemic, as thousands of American troops began NATO maneuvers in Germany, Attila Hildmann did a quick YouTube search to see what it was all about. He quickly came across videos posted by German followers of QAnon.

In their telling, this was no NATO exercise. It was a covert operation by President Trump to liberate Germany from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government — something they applauded.

“The Q movement said these are troops that will free the German people from Merkel,” said Mr. Hildmann, a vegan celebrity cook who had not heard of QAnon before last spring. “I very much hope that Q is real.”

In the United States, QAnon has already evolved from a fringe internet subculture into a mass movement veering into the mainstream. But the pandemic is supercharging conspiracy theories far beyond American shores, and QAnon is metastasizing in Europe as well.

Groups have sprung up from the Netherlands to the Balkans. In Britain, QAnon-themed protests under the banner of “Save Our Children” have taken place in more than 20 cities and towns, attracting a more female and less right-wing demographic.

But it is in Germany that QAnon seems to have made the deepest inroads. With what is regarded as the largest following — an estimated 200,000 people — in the non-English-speaking world, it has quickly built audiences on YouTube, Facebook and the Telegram messenger app. People wave Q flags during protests against coronavirus measures.

And in Germany, like in the United States, far-right activists were the first to latch on, making QAnon an unexpected and volatile new political element when the authorities were already struggling to root out extremist networks.

“There is a very big overlap,” said Josef Holnburger, a data scientist who has been tracking QAnon in Germany. “Far-right influencers and groups were the first ones to aggressively push QAnon.”

Officials are baffled that a seemingly wacky conspiracy theory about Mr. Trump taking on a “deep state” of Satanists and pedophiles has resonated in Germany. Polls show that trust in Ms. Merkel’s government is high, while the far-right Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, has been struggling.
“I was astonished that QAnon is gaining such momentum here,” said Patrick Sensburg, a lawmaker in Ms. Merkel’s conservative party and member of the intelligence oversight committee. “It seemed like such an American thing. But it’s falling on fertile ground.”

The mythology and language QAnon uses — from claims of ritual child murder to revenge fantasies against liberal elites — conjure ancient anti-Semitic tropes and putsch fantasies that have long animated Germany’s far-right fringe. Now those groups are seeking to harness the theory’s viral popularity to reach a wider audience.

QAnon is drawing an ideologically incoherent mixture of vaccine opponents, fringe thinkers and ordinary citizens who say the threat of the pandemic is overstated and government restrictions unwarranted. Not everyone who now aligns with QAnon believes everything the group espouses, or endorses violence.

Until a few months ago, Mr. Hildmann was popularly known merely for his restaurant and cookbooks and as a guest on television cooking shows.

But with 80,000 followers on Telegram, he has since become one of QAnon’s most important amplifiers in Germany. He is a noisy regular at coronavirus protests, which drew more than 40,000 people in Berlin this summer, to bridle against what he considers to be a fake pandemic concocted by the “deep state” to strip away liberties.

Yeah they're canards, as old as the plague. This time it's not just them joos though, they'll include anyone that made fun of Trump.

You can see the absurdity though, right? If people cry antisemitism every time someone talks about satanic abuse or pedophilia (without anyone mentioning Jews, since the QAnon following is largely Evangelical Zionist baby boomers), it just makes people wonder what the deal is with Jews.

The whole "blood libel" thing is actually antisemitic, the"global elite are reptilians" is too. The rest isn't. Parts of it are picked from old cointelpro disinfo, too. It's a mishmash schizophrenic mess.

Not really. Most people just think QAnon are mad and ignore them without a second thought.

Also at least in Britain it's generally Islam that gets brought up over grooming scandals, with resulting "hate speech" nonsense.

 

[Boss HM-2]

They have a reputation for employing the rejects from the private sector. People with no brains or no ambition. It's no wonder the feds who made up "boogaloo boys" and "the base" were using such old memes if that's the caliber of people they recruit. Seriously who even says "boogaloo" anymore?

That's more to do with the fact that government intelligence agencies will refuse to hire anyone who's admitted to smoking weed in the past few years, plus extensive background checks on their online and credit history. You've just basically shut out at least two-thirds of Millennial and Gen Z Americans with those two regulations alone.

 

[Allanon]

My grasp of Qanon is admittedly tenuous because it's insane, but exactly why does the MSM suddenly care? Why do they keep asking Trump about a random fringe 4chan conspiracy group, and why would anyone feel the need to denounce them? Qanon wants to defeat cannabilistic baby rapists, right? Whether or not such people actually exist, how is that in any way harmful and requiring of denouncing? Just leave the crazy old coots alone. What am I missing?

 

[Longjack Attack]

Any bait that comes from 4chan is automatically painted as a scapegoat for the media, even if it's absolutely ridiculous. Its nothing more than just fodder for them to stoke the flames of gullible boomers. I'm not saying that these Q-groups spew falsehoods every chance they get, but for the most part it's just a boomer-palooza based in idolatry.

If you are too stupid to lie about using weed, I doubt you were destined for great things anyways.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

It’s actually cringeworthy how our media and journalists are trying to force this QAnon meme down our throats. We really need to move on and start talking about important issues, like Joe Biden’s son and his influence with foreign nations meddling with American interests.

Also, QAnon is on the verge of having glow in the dark agents to force us to care about this since the media can’t do it.

 

[northstar747]

So can anyone explain to me why at the town hall that lady was yelling at trump about Qanon?

Like she seemed mad he would just say pedo s are bad, they hate pedo s but I dont know about the other shit, and no I cant go by what you just told me they were.

They want a gotcha about Qanon to hurt Trump, because they're... IDK, cringe boomers? The whole thing feels very fake. About as fake and glowing as the actual Qanon stuff is.

Read the link for the conspiratard rantings. QAnon infused blogs seem incapable of doing anything but posting manifestos, dunno why that is. Can't be assed to copy/paste that twaddle.

As an aside, I had never heard of any of these channels, never mind watched them. Close to a million subscribers on YouTube apparently doesn't mean what it used to.

h/t to Teddy Spaghetti. Saw this on his blog.

I would imagine a lot of those subscribers are fake accounts, like people do for IG and Twitter

 

[Allanon]

Oh, yes, just ban the accounts of people who purport that there's a giant conspiracy of evil people secretly in control of the country/world. That'll really tamp down on the conspiracy.
