Washington Foreign adversaries like Russia and China"weaponized" QAnon messaging to sow further discord among the American population in the months leading up to, and following, the January 6 attack, according to a new report released Monday that details how these countries are not only utilizing the same false narratives to peddle disinformation on social media, but also fueling a conspiracy theory that could incite more violence by domestic extremists.

The findings, which are detailed in a report produced by the Soufan Center, suggest"that foreign states are utilizing the QAnon conspiracy theory to sow societal discord and even compromise legitimate political processes," the independent non-profit group, which is focused on global security, said in a press release.

But don’t forget Fox News Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. They have done a good job spreading the Qanon conspiracies and lies.

“Sow further discord”? Would this even be necessary in a country with no health care, a place were the people continually shoot each other and the police authorities kill any who resist. Bit of a free hit. 😃

Q is on the spectrum.

They did such a good job, Americans are so divided, they won't even fight side by side to defend ouf country from.them, Bravo!!

QAnon is a tool of Russia and China — and the QAnon crazies can’t even tell they are being played

Yeah.... havent you heard? Facebook, twitter, reddit and fox news are owned by china and russia! It makes total sense now.....

Imagine calling that an “attack.” Goofing around taking selfies is an “attack?” Kicking back with your feet on a desk is an “attack?” Sure. 🙄

sounds like text book psyops to me

We need to become a REUNITED STATES OF AMERICA 🇺🇸!!!

We already know this, but politicians did nothing but use it for political gain on both sides. Liberals are just as guilty of allowing propaganda as conservatives are because it served a political purpose for both. Disgusting

Hello everyone! The test mining activity originally scheduled to end on April 20 will be postponed to about April 25 due to the instability of OKExchain test network.

The US weaponized QAnon by underfunding education and fostering distrust in collective action for the common good. If the US is concerned about 'election interference,' then keep the national security state apparatus out of the US election.

Well if you want a free media ...

And CNN fell for all of it hook, line, and sinker.

So many stupid, easily duped fools in this country

Of course! Look at Roger Stone smile!

Weaponized? Are you serious? 🤣 you have to be a complete idiot to believe anything those people say. China/Russia are a joke if that was their angle 🤣
