QAnon 101: What you need to know about the conspiracy theory - TodayShow

QAnon theories are ever evolving and connect to other conspiracies, which attracts some people who believe “they’re uncovering some sort of proof that somebody missed," conspiracy theory expert Brian Keeley says.

Keeley says conspiracy theories often evolve. Social media and media coverage of QAnon just makes it easier for people to see this theory changing in real time. QAnon theories have been, and have also started showing up on popular Instagram influencers' accounts. One of the “interesting” things about Q, Keeley says, is that many followers of the conspiracy don’t care who Q is.

“Someone is led to believe there is a network of pedophiles that are abusing children — which is one of the most horrific crimes a lot of people can imagine — and then is led to believe that President Trump is going to do something about it. As time passes on and this does not come true, people may feel like they need to step up and carry out some of that justice themselves,” Holt said.and was last year labeled a potential domestic terror threat by the F.B.I.

TODAYshow Bunch of idiots.. get off your phones and computers and go do some work... and leave that weed alone , it’s messing with judgement

TODAYshow Hahaha isn’t it a conspiracy theory in itself to “theorize” about a conspiracy theory!! catch22 nbccaresaboutyou

TODAYshow All you need to know is that Trump doesn’t denounce it and is pandering to adherents.

TODAYshow You know they're working from mental deficit when they think the guy that's saving the world from sex slaves has almost 30 sexual assault & harrassment allegations, rape allegations, rape of a 13 yr old AND refuses to provide the DNA that would exonerate him if innocent.

TODAYshow More concerned about antifa, can u report on that Pooh that is right u are antifa!!!! Fake news

TODAYshow Thank you for drawing more attention! I urge everyone to look deeply into these theories and think for yourself. Mainstream media (like nbc) presents only one side of a story, remember that!

TODAYshow Perhaps if you'd started with this story before BLAM-TIFA attacked our country, you'd have better luck convincing your readers.

TODAYshow Trump 2020

TODAYshow Now do Russian collusion.

TODAYshow QAnon might be the dumbest people in history.

TODAYshow

TODAYshow Elect a clown get a circus

TODAYshow I’ll summarize the comment section for you. A bunch of people who have never seen a Q drop, don’t think for themselves and only know what the msm tells them, believe QAnons are brainwashed and in a cult. Newsflash people. Cults don’t tell you to do your own research.

TODAYshow Usually when the media is hell bent on calling something a conspiracy theory there is usually some truth to some of it.

TODAYshow After reading this, it reminds me of the movie Life of Brian where the followers were arguing over should they follow his shoe or the gourd that he had dropped while running away from them.

TODAYshow People too busy living a fake life to know what their real life is about. And happens when you don’t choose to accept life and grow but rather divide, cause ambiguity and go nowhere.

TODAYshow These artists will not give up their Taiwan ID cards to use Taiwan passports to assist Chinese spies. Beware of their relatives living in the United States and Canada and the European Union, Australia and Japan.

TODAYshow

TODAYshow I think they should all meet in Wyoming and drink the juice. That way they can all go to heaven at the same time.

TODAYshow There nothing in between Florida and bermuda

TODAYshow Lol

TODAYshow “Can’t fix crazy” is all I need to know about Q!

TODAYshow Logically speaking, wouldn't a hit piece like this be expected from PROJECTMOCKINGBIRD media outlets if the assertions the 'mystery insider' has made regarding these media outlets is true? Why does the media push division? Incite violence? Pit race against race? Etc...

TODAYshow How do we get rid of it?

TODAYshow Don't speak or write evil against others because your mouth or mind is not created to curse, insult gossip or do any form of evil

TODAYshow 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

TODAYshow

TODAYshow They worship Trump?

TODAYshow This is the US now where we live in. Poor thing.

TODAYshow

TODAYshow We don't need you to tell us. You are liars, and we don't trust a word you say. MSM has lost all credibility. So much so, people would rather trust anons over your bias liberal 'journalists.'

TODAYshow NBC, ABC, and New York Times may find themselves on the end of a conspiracy to defraud, collusion, perjury, and falsely elicited public money. The suite may not go public but will be costly. Give enough time, what goes around, comes around.

TODAYshow These are the ones who will whitewash our history to suit Trump’s ego if he wins or loses but stays in power anyway because he views himself as owner of America & the Presidency. BidenHarrisLandslide2020

TODAYshow It’s a lie. That’s all.

TODAYshow You're the ones bringing it to the mainstream. So if it is a 'conspiracy theory' you're the ones spreading it more than anyone.

TODAYshow If Joe Biden wins the 2020 Presidential Election, this is what the identity for the GOP during the 2022 Midterm Elections will be. In 1994, it was about Newt Gingrich. The GOP has been going low & playing dirty since the '94 Midterms. In 2010, it was the Tea Party movement.

TODAYshow The Q movement is not based on “conspiracy theory”....conspiracy theory is a daily show on CNN or MSNBC

TODAYshow Legitimizing a white supremacist conspiracy theory movement is a really bad look.

TODAYshow Cult of loonies.

TODAYshow What we need is a case study on these people.

TODAYshow You would wake up quicker if you were woke yes?

TODAYshow To call truths... conspiracy theories...well that shows you must be hiding something or there is something to it

TODAYshow you're too fucking late, 6 months ago would've been a good time to hit the submit button

TODAYshow Lol. I don’t follow QAnon but this.... all you people look for anything that will trigger you. And the MSM PLAY YOUR SOMG. Don’t be so utterly stupid and gullible.

TODAYshow Why do so, so, soooo many news organizations keep putting out antiQ articles. Why give a 'conspiracy cult' the space? Why so much effort, all for a LARP? Interesting question. Why do you think there are so many? They really are going overboard with trying to discredit. Why?

TODAYshow I wonder if they know that Q lives in the Philippines?

TODAYshow Nothing. Stop amplifying their hysterical bullshit.

TODAYshow It's a conspiracy theory for stupid people. Nothing else to know. Ignore it. Don't promote it.

TODAYshow The best way to stay away from crazy conspiracy theories is to look at FACTS. Just facts.

TODAYshow Um, you mean the low-iQ anon?

TODAYshow Next up, How to join Isis in three easy steps.

TODAYshow How many has the Qanon conspiracy killed vs the 'police are systematically hunting and killing black people' conspiracy theory that MSNBC keeps pushing? By my count it's 0 to over 30

TODAYshow For balance can you do an article on all the conspiracy theories that have been proven true? Please and thank you.

TODAYshow Sorry, but everything you need to know about QAnon you should get from TrueAnonPod.

How QAnon is hooking Americans with its 'save the children' anti-pedophilia rhetoric - InsiderHow QAnon is hooking Americans with its 'save the children' anti-pedophilia rhetoric QAnon is a Nazi Cult, Rebranded It's a anti-pedo cult ran by pedos to elect pedos. Not everyone understands irony. A lot of well meaning conspiracy theorists accurately identified how Q elites are trying to exploit them for their own agenda. First post of Q was that Hillary Clinton was being arrested. Turns out Q is a porn website owner living in the Philippines that wanted to drive traffic to his website. Cultism spread tee word. Pathetic.

How a Bargain-Basement Internet Conspiracy Theorist Rode the QAnon Wave to the Edge of CongressAt an indoor, largely maskless victory party in August, Marjorie Taylor Greene had a message for her detractors. Greene, a bargain-basement conspiracy theorist, had handily won her primary runoff, despite warnings from a handful of spooked Republican activists. In her heavily red corner of Georgia, the nomination almost ensured she’d be the eventual victor. That night, Greene stood before a podium draped with her signature slogan—“Save America, Stop Socialism.” Smiling smugly at times, with the self-satisfaction of a catty sorority girl, she exulted over the enemies she had defeated: not just her political opponent, but a slew of the right’s favorite bogeymen.
