| Hello everyone, Poker and Politics here. | |
| Today I wanted to talk about moral bankruptcy and how it impacts QAnon, Q, and our esteemed President Donald Trump. | |
| As these protests roil on, as people are demanding more and more reforms, and we're hearing a bit about defunding police departments, etc, etc, the thing is, Trump can't really speak on this issue because he has no leg to stand on. | |
| He has no moral authority to do so. | |
| He became a political force by being a birther in 2012. | |
| He stoked racist tensions that whole time. | |
| The very fine people comment after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. | |
| He has made it a point of pride that he kowtows to racists and panders to that community for their votes and for their support. | |
| So for him to come out and say that he's about unity, about brotherhood, that he understands the plight of black people in America and he is working to heal the rift between whites and blacks and the whole the problem of America's original sin, as those who would go to that phrasing would use, Trump can't do it. | |
| Trump doesn't have The Gravitas. | |
| No one will respect a speech by him as being anything more than empty pandering. | |
| Except for maybe the media who will weep and scream, Oh, this is the day he became president. | |
| Oh, what a brilliant speech. | |
| In QAnon, we'll completely ignore the fact that our media falls over themselves whenever Trump does anything to make himself look remotely presidential because they live for it. | |
| They're the cabal. | |
| They're the evil media. | |
| They're the bad guys. | |
| Boo the media! | |
| boo boo boo. | |
| So you have this morally bankrupt man and allegedly he's going to give a speech this | |
| upcoming week which, ooh boy, that's going to be a meatball. | |
| That'll be very spicy. | |
| So supposedly we're going to have the unity building speech which will be a disaster. | |
| At best he will Get a very monotone, very dry teleprompter red speech done and then he'll go on Twitter and complain about it and contradict it almost immediately after. | |
| Within 12 hours he'll start bleeding on about All Lives Matter or whatever because he can't help himself. | |
| He just can't do it. | |
| He has to step on the rake as just absolutely irresistible as can be. | |
| That rake yearns for his foot to just drive itself down on it as hard as possible so he can sideshow bob himself right in the head. | |
| Because that's how he operates. | |
| That's the nature of the man. | |
| Now, further, you have QAnon and Q themselves. | |
| And they are a depraved cesspool of bloodthirsty psychopaths led by an amoral scumbag. | |
| And the thing is that Q cannot reign them in. | |
| He has no control over them because, again, he has no moral authority. | |
| He has no leg to stand on when it comes to trying to present himself as an authority figure on anything. | |
| Q panders to these people's worst impulses. | |
| He delights in bigotry and hatred. | |
| He is a terrible person, pretty much. | |
| And the thing about this is... | |
| That it means that when people who try to defend Q, like the QAnon centrists, or even QAnon promoters who try to duck behind levels of plausibility and deniability, when they say things like, Q never said that! | |
| It doesn't matter what Q says. | |
| It matters what QAnon believes. | |
| And when QAnon says that Michelle Obama is a woman, even though Q's never said that, it doesn't matter. | |
| It's on him. | |
| Because if he wanted to stop it, he could try. | |
| He wanted to stop the JFK Jr. | |
| stuff. | |
| He tried. | |
| He twice made Q drops saying that JFK Jr. | |
| is dead. | |
| Let it go, you morons. | |
| Stop it. | |
| So He could, if he wanted to, post something that would state that Michelle Obama is a cisgendered woman. | |
| He could do this if he so desired to do it. | |
| But if he did, his audience would ignore him. | |
| They would declare misinformation as necessary. | |
| They would hand wave it away. | |
| You can't Call back the dog. | |
| You lose the dog from its leash. | |
| It's running towards the target. | |
| Nothing you can do. | |
| You can't yell, Sparky, come back! | |
| Sparky, no! | |
| There's no safe word. | |
| There's no... nothing. | |
| There's nothing you can do. | |
| That dog is just gonna run off and it's gonna maul somebody. | |
| And you have nothing. | |
| You have no way to prevent it from happening. | |
| So... | |
| That's the nature of QAnon and the nature of Q in the sense that he cannot curb the worst impulses of his community because he indulges them, he excites them, he incites them. | |
| He has that Q drop with Obama and his college roommate where it says the faggots are holding hands. | |
| And this is a movement that talks about unity, inclusion, diversity. | |
| We are all together. | |
| Patriots know no color. | |
| And he gleefully uses a homophobic slur like faggots in a Q-Drop. | |
| Q didn't say it. | |
| It was just a caption of the meme. | |
| Yeah, Q posted the meme. | |
| So Q endorsed it. | |
| Q endorsed that bigotry. | |
| Period. | |
| No one made him do that. | |
| He could have found a version of the photo that he was trying to show that didn't have that in it. | |
| He didn't do that. | |
| He grabbed the one that had the homophobic slur on it and he used it. | |
| Period. | |
| So, he was a dirtbag. | |
| That's all there is to it. | |
| And his followers are dirtbags who say the most terrible things in the world. | |
| Like vaccines are deadly toxins, which Q has never said. | |
| Q's made only one claim about vaccines, and it was just sort of, eh, vaccines, meh. | |
| I could live with them, I could live without them. | |
| Not going to take a hard stance on vaccines, because I know who my audience is, and I don't want to piss them off. | |
| So, that's the way this works. | |
| And then finally you have the moral bankruptcy of QAnon itself and this ties into the fact that once again our hero Q aka Jim Watkins steps on his dick again because he's a fucking moron. | |
| And he posted this ridiculously stupid thing about how Obama's social media, Obama's Twitter page, or the Obama Project, I'm not exactly sure the name of it, but Twitter feed with Obama's name attached to it that is directly connected to him and is a legitimate thing. | |
| If you look at their photo, It was George Floyd and you can do a thing where you can dig into the past of it and well actually that tweet was an old tweet but now it has George Floyd on it so these idiots were like oh my god Obama's been planning this thing for a very long time blah blah blah conspiracy plot and Dapper Gander and others have explained why this is not the case and also if it was the case you might have noticed it | |
| Before QAnon noticed it, but two weeks after George Floyd's death. | |
| So you might have noticed it the day after that guy died. | |
| Oh my god, how did Obama know? | |
| He had this photo ready to go so quickly. | |
| Isn't this interesting? | |
| Then people would be like, wait a minute, he had it the day before and the day after that before that and so on and so on. | |
| And you could actually start unraveling the conspiracy onion as it were and revealing the dark truth about what Obama did. | |
| And the truth is that once again Jim Watkins does not know how the internet works, does not understand how anything works really, didn't understand the Republican closed primary in California, didn't understand the parodies of cannibalism on Facebook, Is just a cretinous moron when it comes to anything and everything. | |
| Posted a Q-Drop that had a fake quote of George Soros. | |
| Again, doesn't do any fact-checking. | |
| Doesn't do anything to actually evaluate information. | |
| Jim just grabs it and posts it because he's lazy. | |
| He doesn't really like the whole QAnon thing. | |
| He thinks Trump's going to lose and that will kill QAnon in November. | |
| He's really wrong about the whole conspiracy thing dying in November. | |
| It is never going away. | |
| Spoiler alert. | |
| So we're in a peck of trouble there no matter what. | |
| But This is the thing, Q is so bad now, Q has had to repeatedly post apologies or explanations. | |
| He had to explain, oh these parody cannibal websites, that's how they trick you into really doing it. | |
| And then he never really came up with an explanation for how he biffed the California primary thing. | |
| Oh the other one he screwed up royally was the MSNBC World War Z screenshot which MSNBC never did and was a fake meme made by somebody on the internet and Jim fell for it. | |
| And then he excused himself by saying he was flying in a helicopter and he was distracted. | |
| So in the time of 8 Kun Q, just constant mistakes, constant things he has to walk back, endless errors, just Deep into abiding ignorance and Q Anon can't just look at this stuff and say, yeah Q got it wrong. | |
| Yeah Q made a mistake. | |
| They can't do it. | |
| They have to keep Propping him up. | |
| They can't keep acting to make excuses. | |
| They keep having to justify and defend what he was doing and this is the things that they always talk about how you gotta think for yourself how you gotta rationalize editorialize scandalize compartmentalize digitize DNA Digivolve, all this information and come up with your own conclusions, make your own assertions. | |
| QAnon is the only cult that tells you to think for yourself. | |
| If that was the case, why did they never think for a moment that Q made a mistake or that Q was wrong or that Q was an error? | |
| Just look at all the QAnon grifter community, Medic, Sather, Major Dad, Dustin Nemos, Pamphlet Anon, all these just scoundrels. | |
| When something like this happens they never tell you oh well you made an oopsie doopsies because that's the thing you're not allowed to think. | |
| That is the thing you're not allowed to say because to say that is to leave the community. | |
| To say that is heresy. | |
| They love having these anti-Semitic tropes about you find out who is in control of the situation based on who you are allowed to criticize. | |
| Meaning that if you try to criticize the Jews, you'll be called an anti-Semite. | |
| You're not allowed to do it. | |
| So the Jews really do rule the world. | |
| So your anti-Semitism is justified and validated. | |
| That's the logic they try to use. | |
| But you think about it from the way QAnon works, and Q and Trump are infallible. | |
| They cannot error. | |
| They cannot make mistakes. | |
| If you think they have made a mistake, you need to reason it out for yourself how they didn't. | |
| Because they can't! | |
| And if you live in a world where people tell you to think freely and come to your own conclusions, but you can never question the authority, you can never say that the authority is wrong or has made a mistake, not a lot of free thinking going on there. | |
| That does not sound like a group of people who are ready to make hard, skeptical, analysis of a situation and to just pursue the truth no | |
| matter where the evidence takes them. They are willing to go anywhere. They | |
| are not beholden to a predetermined conclusion that they will then use any data | |
| points whatsoever to validate and justify. And that is pretty much what QAnon is. | |
| That's how they operate. | |
| They are entirely all about confirmation bias. | |
| They are all about confirming their priors. | |
| Whatever they believe, they will believe firmly to the bitter end unless overwhelming evidence forces them to change their minds. | |
| But only kicking and screaming. | |
| And really the only force that's going to do that is Trump losing this election. | |
| That's the one thing they'll not be able to spin or justify. | |
| The whole Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump spat justified. | |
| Mathis and Trump going at it justified. | |
| They will justify anything. | |
| The election they cannot. | |
| They cannot justify the election. | |
| So you cannot get here soon enough and Trump cannot lose soon enough. | |
| I am so tired tonight, but I will not stemwinder here. | |
| Instead, because I have a bunch of questions, I'm going to start the question section now. | |
| 275 says, please discuss the gross spiritual advisor of his and her Luciferian looking husband. | |
| Paula White Kane is a really creepy lady. | |
| I don't really know that much about her, as it were. | |
| I just know that every time I've ever seen her she is really not clean. | |
| She feels like such a televangelist and such a con artist and she's working so hard to just sell This kind of just sick, twisted Christianity to her community. | |
| And it's just like, man, really? | |
| Like, this is the kind of thing that we have to deal with in this world? | |
| That, uh, I mean, again, the president is just absolutely, absolutely, totally amoral and knows that whatever he has to do to pander to religious people to get their votes, he'll do it. | |
| That's why he just walked out in front of a church and held up a Bible. | |
| And was like, look at me! | |
| Totally religious dude! | |
| Love you Christians! | |
| Vote for me in the election because I need your votes to win. | |
| So... | |
| Maybe one of these days I'll have a better, more in-depth analysis of her, but for now, uh, she's just, yeah, just terrible. | |
| Just nails on a chalkboard kind of thing. | |
| It's like, oh boy, this is, this is where America is. | |
| We've got this lovely person getting the ear of the president and telling us that Jesus is on the side of Donald Trump, which, ooh, oh boy. | |
| Mr. Fury, who has one of the greatest avatars on Twitter, says, I am so curious about the claims Anonymous Hackers Collective make about Q. They claim it was a psy-op to discredit and disrupt their op to expose Epstein & Company by flooding the internet with fake crazy stuff. | |
| That clever Guy Fawkes behind the K-pop fascism thing too. | |
| Thoughts? | |
| Anonymous generally They seemed to over-inflate their actual powers and capabilities. | |
| They took credit for Obama winning re-election in 2016, 2012. | |
| Professional podcaster, poker and politics. | |
| They said, oh yeah, Rove hacked Ohio and we hacked it back and made sure that it was a fair count and Obama won it fair and square. | |
| So I really don't know exactly what kind of power Anonymous has. | |
| I do know that QAnon and Anonymous have hated each other for forever because Anonymous prides themselves on being a A hacktivist group that is actually trying to fight authoritarian rule and is looking to actually do things to undermine the system and to upset the status quo, whereas QAnon is entirely about a rigid status quo that needs to just be made more status quo-ian. | |
| Trump is in power. | |
| Trump needs to be given even more power. | |
| We need to crush people even more vigorously. | |
| I don't know who sicked K-pop on QAnon. | |
| If Anonymous wants the credit for that, God bless them. | |
| They can. | |
| No skin off my nose. | |
| I'm cool with that. | |
| I really... Everyone wants credit for Epstein. | |
| But it was Julia K. Brown, the reporter in Florida, who did most of the heavy lifting and actually did the work. | |
| She actually put the boots on the ground, as it were. | |
| She worked the pavement and did the interviews, found the evidence. | |
| and revealed the sweetheart deal that Epstein got that led to a lot of outrage about what happened | |
| and then the next thing you know the wheels of justice start slowly grinding and then Epstein | |
| gets indicted and then he uh commits suicide which is 100% what happened and you can all | |
| fuck right off so Jeffrey Epstein dead by his own hand yeah take that conspiracy theorists owned | |
| uh bunker inspector uh number 12 17 I love the Q Clowns Believing in Conspiracy Theories but it was probably derived from the plot of Monsters Inc. | |
| Looking forward to the podcast. | |
| They believe that Monsters Inc. | |
| is Hollywood telling on themselves and as I've said here before and I've said on Twitter many times They lie about Monsters, Inc. | |
| because the payoff at the end of Monsters, Inc. | |
| is that the monsters find out that laughter is far more powerful than fear. | |
| And it's kind of a metaphor that like you can do the easy quick thing and get a small reward or you can do the hard thing and get a bigger better reward. | |
| Scaring the kids is easy for monsters. | |
| Making kids laugh by cracking jokes and being funny is hard. | |
| And also the whole thing with Boo and brotherhood and diversity and understanding that different beings can coexist and form a bond and become friends. | |
| All that good stuff. | |
| I mean just, they take all the positives of Monsters, Inc. | |
| away. | |
| Just strip it down to nothing and it's just, it's a movie about monsters scaring kids for power and energy. | |
| It's Adrenochrome. | |
| Yep, you shut up. | |
| God damn it. | |
| Just, just... I'm so dumb. | |
| So absolutely dumb. | |
| Tobias Drumridge says we know the answer to this but what are the answers from Q people as to why the posts are only on 4, 8, Chan, Kun and not PGP encrypted and just posted everywhere? | |
| They must have some real doozies to get around that one in their heads. | |
| Q actually was literally called out by Frederick Brennan. | |
| I seconded Frederick's declarations against Q. | |
| Where we were like, yo Q, get a Bitcoin wallet or a PGP key and just travel the internet. | |
| You're trying to save the world, right? | |
| You're not just doing this to drive traffic to Jim Watkins' website, right? | |
| And Q posted an article about how PGP had some sort of problems and was just like, look PGP isn't all that good. | |
| But the article wasn't about the actual security of PGP. | |
| It was about a totally different problem. | |
| So what Q was just trying to do was conflate one issue with another. | |
| To make it seem like his identity could be revealed through the use of a PGP key. | |
| When WikiLeaks uses a PGP key on their Twitter page for drops. | |
| If their hero Julian Assange, who is like just fourth on the hierarchy below Q, Trump, Sessions, oh, Michael Flynn, so he's fifth. | |
| If Julian Assange loves PGP keys, then why can't Q love them too? | |
| Then again, some QAnons will be like, Wikileaks themselves have been corrupted by the deep state. | |
| Only Assange is pure and innocent. | |
| Because again, they just make it up. | |
| They just make it up as they go along to try to justify things. | |
| Simon Fierick says, how much of a serious threat do you consider the QAnon nonsense to be? | |
| I consider it very serious. | |
| I don't think that they will be able to pull off terrorism of a scale like, say, the Oklahoma City bombing or anything bigger than that. | |
| I just don't think that there's enough intelligence at an operational level to be able to pull off an event like that. | |
| But what I will say is that they will have an incredible amount of access to guns and they will be insanely mad when they don't get what they want. | |
| And this is the thing is that I believe that Trump will lose in November and that will be devastating to them but even if he were to win You have the fact that the 2022 midterms will be devastating to the Republicans. | |
| They have a million billion Senate seats that are at risk and if Trump escaped through the skin of his teeth to win another re-election all those Senate seats would be in huge danger. | |
| The frothing rage that the America would have at that point would be overwhelming and also at some ill-defined point in Trump's second term the God willing, and please let it happen, the coronavirus vaccine would come out and that would be a massive breaking point for QAnon because they hate vaccines so much now. | |
| Anti-vax was like a small part of the community and then coronavirus just QAnon likes to talk about how they will eat MAGA and absorb MAGA into QAnon to become more powerful. | |
| But while they were looking to do that, Anti-Vax just bit into QAnon and just took it over. | |
| They did not vaccinate themselves against Anti-Vax and now they are all corrupted by it. | |
| So you're going to see a massive schism in the community if Trump were to be in office when the when the when the vaccine for coronavirus comes out. | |
| It'll be hilarious and a ton of fun. | |
| Alex Zendeas. | |
| Oh God, I'm so bad at names. | |
| I don't think you talked about it in the last episode, but you could bring up small town disinfo. | |
| NBC recently wrote an article about it on My Town specifically. | |
| This is kind of like the micro-targeting that happened in the 2016 election. | |
| Where disinformation agents take a first wave bullshit lie and then they will expound upon it to directly target smaller groups and smaller communities in an effort to fan tension, increase anger and distrust, and to sow confusion and chaos. | |
| A fake Antifa Twitter account said that they were going to leave the cities and go into the suburbs and start killing white people. | |
| And that was fake from the jump. | |
| And then from there came these tweets and came these Facebook messages and came this stuff on Nextdoor and other local community aggregator sites. | |
| Where this town and then the person below them says it happened also in Redding, California. | |
| Small town started getting told that like bus buses full of Antifa people Antifa terrorists were coming to their communities armed to the teeth ready to kill people And they're just looking to provoke a backlash. | |
| They're looking to provoke a controversy. | |
| They're just trying to make things bad. | |
| Like, if something happened here, it would suit the goals of the people sowing this chaos. | |
| And who exactly they are? | |
| I mean, Russian disinformation bots, right-wing trolls, just general assholes. | |
| Who knows? | |
| Neo-Nazi racists. | |
| If a small town actually thought Antifa was in their community, or Antifa actually did show up and there was a violent confrontation, they could spin it as being this poor innocent town was attacked by Antifa. | |
| That something went really wrong. | |
| If any of these situations had resulted in violence, the right would have blamed The protestors, the rioters, they would have blamed Antifa, they would have blamed just this movement, Black Lives Matter. | |
| All of it would have been guilty because these communities that they were trying to scare into action were the good guys. | |
| They were suburbs and they were being put on the defensive in the back foot and these | |
| disinformation agents were trying to give these people a hair trigger. | |
| They were trying to get them paranoid and outraged and freaked out so that there might be an exchange of gunfire or just a clash and some and after some fists get thrown then some people burn down a couple houses because they're pissed off about what happened. | |
| This was just ugliness. | |
| It was just really mean-spirited terrible stuff. | |
| And we're going to see more of it. | |
| This is not going to stop. | |
| These people are going to be working hard to create issues out of thin air for the campaign season. | |
| Gilgamesh asks, any Reformed believers out there? | |
| And Neighborhood Neutrino seconds them by saying, and how did they get out? | |
| I have met a few QAnon apostates on Reddit. | |
| And generally speaking they became apostates when there were just too many deadlines that came and went without anything happening and they realized they were being strung along. | |
| One of my followers who I've talked to a lot, whose name I'm about to destroy, and I apologize on every imaginable level, but Elemendi Fuentes is a Reformed believer. | |
| They bought into QAnon for a while, then they got out and they hate QAnon very much. | |
| There is no A fire that burns brighter than that of a convert. | |
| Those who get out of a group often are not very fond of the group they left, especially when that group is a bunch of lying scum. | |
| Doug Howard asks, are the children being rescued from the Adrenochrome Labs housebroken or do you need to train them to use the cat box? | |
| or pay for if you adopt one and if they cannot be housebroken is there no kill shelter to take them | |
| um since they have yet to be uh processed through uh patriot headquarters uh for | |
| return to society we have yet to uh discern their fitness level for these things and um | |
| what their mental acuity is what their ability to learn is if they will be if they are verbal or not | |
| Bye. | |
| A great many mysteries. | |
| I'm sure one of these days Q will get around to enlightening us because this is a very important part of the QAnon mythos. | |
| So I really hope that we get told the good word as it were. | |
| And finally our good friend OmniOptic with two eyes looking sideways said, | |
| sorry dude I don't play Go Fish. | |
| Bye. | |
| Now if you're into Iron Cross, I might play. | |
| I have no idea what Iron Cross is. | |
| I do know what Go Fish is. | |
| I click on him and his timeline says I was cued about 18 months ago and to think it took until a few days ago to find out that everything I've watched read and discussed was just a LARP to convince me that none of it was true. | |
| Thinking emoji now that I'm woke I've got to ask are there any kids left? | |
| Double thinking emoji cue it on. | |
| So, uh, he... I don't know, man. | |
| I think the most important thing for you to understand is that you've been lied to, that your faith in Jesus Christ is being manipulated against you by grifters and dirtbags looking to make a dollar, or to just use your clicks and eyeballs to make them seem more important and special. | |
| This is the nature of the scam. | |
| You are being scammed. | |
| I hope you figure that out at some point. | |
| I hope you wake up to the truth that the world is a dumb, ugly, random, scary, chaotic place. | |
| There is no great battle between good and evil with George Soros on one side of the chessboard and Donald Trump on the other. | |
| If there was Soros would win very quickly because I doubt that Trump understands how to play chess in any way shape or form. | |
| So yeah get out of QAnon when you can. | |
| Join those who have become apostates. | |
| Recovery is a beautiful thing and I wish you all the best. | |
| I wish all of you all the best and all that good stuff. | |
| So I'm gonna go fall asleep now because I'm extremely tired. |
