Canon for the letter q

On the eve of the assignment of the 46th US President on the GAB social network, a photograph of dark storm clouds over Washington, which was accompanied by a mysterious signature: “What a beautiful black sky!” However, for millions of supporters of the theory of the Qanon conspiracy, there was nothing mysterious in it. Until the last, they hoped that the inauguration of Joe Biden would not take place. Instead, Donald Trump will finally report that the participants in the terrible conspiracy of pedophiles were arrested and sent to Guantanamo, where they are waiting for a shameful execution by hanging. The apocalyptic “storm” will erupt and will launch a new era of the triumph of good over evil, which has reigned for too long in the circles of insidious billionaires like George Soros and Bill Gates, corrupt politicians like Hilary Clinton and Satanists from Hollywood like Johnny Depp. The Trump Messiah will return to the oval cabinet and will rule the great America, if not forever, then long enough to finally fall the roots of a demonic conspiracy from American soil.

The exposure of the conspirators was activated in October 2017. It was then that on the Internet on an anonymous web forum-imageboard 4 Chan, the first message appeared from the author, hiding behind the pseudonym Q Cleellce Patriot (the admission of Q is a designation of the highest level of official access to state secrets). All this patriot was discovered all the secrets of the Madrid court, in this case of the White House. Donald Trump headed the country not by chance, he had the highest goal - to expose the machinations of the aforementioned villains and their minions, who settled in the highest echelons of power. They are the secret power (Deep stat) , which is designed to eradicate the Savior Trump in order to return to America the former greatness.

The messages of the patriot with the highest tolerance, which were simply called q , differed from the majority of scriptures on 4 Chan , in which banal racial hatred, glorification of the greatness of the white race and wall terrorists who flooded the United States prevailed. Messages were distinguished by brevity, enigmatism, prophetic pathos and hints of high ties of the author. He himself called them bread crumbs that must be baked. This is the bakers-readers and were engaged from morning to night. The decoding of predictions led to the emergence of a conspiracy the myth, called Qanon , where Q is the abbreviated nickname of the high -ranking guardian GOSTIIN, and Anon - the beginning of the word “anonymous”. The Internet is an ideal place for myth -making. Sturious and hand -made fantasy here is guaranteed a slight victory over the miserable attempts of the mind.

Historical origins

The Qanon myth, as it should be, consisted of a mythology, the number of which grew at an incredible speed. However, for any historian of religion, it immediately became clear that there was little new one in them. Here, let's say, the key is the fight against powerful pedophiles. Apparently, this is a modernized version of the ancient “bloody slander”, when the Jews were accused of using the blood of Christian babies for ritual purposes.

This mythology arose even earlier than the glorious Q entered the arena, and was called Pizzage. It was like that. In the opened mailbox of the election campaign manager Hillary Clinton John Podesta, the address of the Comet Ping Pong Washington pizzeria, in which he often made orders, was discovered. No, it is not Italian fast food from there at all, but bubbles with adrenochrom, one of the products of the oxidation of adrenaline, realized the penetrative exposure. The fact is that there is a belief that it was a powerful hallucinogen, Oldos Haxli wrote about it (though he himself preferred a banal mescaline), the young scum of Anthony Burdes was saved by them, and, finally, restless drug addicts from Hunter Thompson’s novel “Fear in Las Vegas ” treated them. In a cult film, shot according to a novel, convincingly depicting Johnny's breakdown, Depp dripes himself with adrenochr on his tongue, and seems to let him go. This frame received millions of views on YouTube largely due to the curiosity of the exposure. Depp is a Hollywood star that has preserved amazing youthfulness, which means that adrenochr is not only a drug, but also an elixir of youth. Further - more: in the novel, Thompson reproduces the delirium of the obdated heroes - a real product can only be extracted from the adrenaline gland of a living person, this is pure sadism. The withdrawal of wrestlers with a conspiracy: in an underground torture laboratory from the abducted children, the elixir of eternal youth is painfully extracted to deliver Hillary, to deliver it through the false pits. But Trump is not asleep, the first “bread crumb” Q , the arrest of the criminal has already been issued to us, and the inevitable arrest is waiting for it. The prophecy did not come true, but who cares! The myth of the conspiracy of the peppers-pedophiles grows like a snowball-they not only dispose of children's flesh, but also enjoy it. And Hollywood is the main nursery of the Satanic sin, they are purchased by Adrenochrome in liters.

The opinions of enlightened theologians diverged about the purpose of the God-dimensional Jews added the blood of Christian babies to the Matsu, but there could be no doubt about the adrenochrome-the villagers want to live forever. And they will, if they are not stopped by the light -bearing Trump.

Another source of the pedophilian myth is a moral panic. She served in earnest in the United States in the early 80s of the last century and was generated by rumors that kindergartens, where they began to rent children who were massively going to work, are the seedlings of satanic cults, into which educators involve their young pets. Cults allegedly practiced sexual violence against children, terrible details filled the pages of tabloids (there were no social networks at that time), but upon closer examination it turned out that no one had raped, and satanic rituals - the fruit of a sick fantasy of American housewives. The roots of moral panic, in turn, also go into the distant past. These are stories about the witch's sabbath, where they copulated with the devil and attracted children to participate in the orgies. Belief in conspiracies always kept on an unshakable principle “the worst, the more reliable”: it is no coincidence that the information about satanic sexual rituals, although they were knocked out of the “witches” under torture, survived their time for a long time and easily revived in modern America.

The prophecy about the Savior Trump also has at least two sources. The first is stressful apocalypticism, dating back to the XVIII - XIX centuries . It was he who gave rise to “great awakening” with their expectation of the end of the world, which largely determined the appearance of the American conservative Protestantism. Therefore, among themselves, Qanon adherents call the arrest of the conspirators not only “storm”, but also “a great awakening”. Trump's proximity to conservative gospels, who voted together in the election, is well known. But the second source of faith on the onset of apocalyptic time is less obvious and associated with the movement of New Age (“New Era”). It would seem that in common between Trump-a furious hater of liberals and a movement that is in its own way of a liberal-utopian character? But there is a common one. And in order to understand what it is, you need to look into history again.

"I am part of that power ..."

One of the sources of modern conspiracyology is the French occult revival of the XIX century. This is a romantic reaction to the dominance of science, which led to the “befitting” of the world (later the author of the theory of secularization Max Weber will use this poetic word, but it should be remembered that he borrowed him from the romance of Schiller). The world became boring, rationalism ruthlessly extinguished the flight of imagination. Western esoterics could not abandon the imagination, to which they gave the ontological meaning, they sought to enchant the world again. But at the same time, they were not at all going to abandon science: it will develop and overcome its rational one -sidedness (“magic is the science of the future,” said the founder of Theosophy Elena Blavatsky). A meeting of esotericism and science gave rise to occultism.

In this enchanted world, the fathers of conspiracyology settled. They believed that the world secretly control the evil forces that resort to the help of the devil. On this idea, the famous “Protocols of the Zion sages” are based on, where the Satanist mask was familiar with Jews. We expose Jewish machinations - we will defeat the devil. Here the kingdom of universal prosperity will come.

However, in the enchanted world, there were also occultists of a different sense. The same Blavatsky hoped that the theosophical society created by her would unite science and esotericism and be able to transform the consciousness of mankind on a planetary scale. In her worldview, evil did not dominate, although it relied on demonic forces; On the contrary, good was gaining strength, receiving help from above from supernatural accomplices - Mahatm. The modern New Age goes back to this myth, hence his liberal utopianism and democracy.

Proponents of Qanon inherited the fear of their predecessors before the gigantic power of evil: he inspires them with a mania of persecution, they are his unhappy sacrifices. Evil is embodied in terrible Mexicans, black criminals, Islamic terrorists, and most importantly, in liberals who close their eyes on all this, moreover, broadcast about some democratic ideals that do not allow to crush the terrible evil, like a poisonous snake. The mythologization of these phobias leads to paranoia and nourishes modern conspiracy. Trending with impotent resentment, people are pursing the sacrifice of the victim and in revenge begin to hate the world around him. That is, to experience the unpleasant feeling that Frederick Nietzsche at one time called the French word Ressentiment .

However, this feeling is familiar not only by the ramps, not a very burdened education, but also quite enlightened progressists who are increasingly feeling victims of great injustice. The same of them who, like supporters of the ideals of New Age , lives in an enchanted world, now often see in it not only the enlightened faces of Mahatm, but also the devilish larvae of evil. The belief that they will be able to transform the consciousness of mankind and bring it into the New Age of Aquarius, weakens, and they begin to see the Trump “Truck of the Light”, which, being far from perfect, nevertheless inadvertently can crumble evil (of course, they understand other things than conspiracy thes) and involuntarily help to the offensive of a new era. In vain, the leaders of the New Age are trying to convince the adherents of the conspiracy the conspiracy the conspiracy, which is the embodiment of evil. Those only nod enlightened heads and refer to the autohastal of Mephistopheles in Faust. And those that are more actively bursting with a crowd of trampists into the Capitol, like that tattooed white shaman from Arizona with horns on the head, which came to a lot of photographs of the assault on the US Senate. He is just from the broken New Aisha.

Conspirology as a computer game

Two people who were difficult to call intellectuals - James Watkins and Fredrick Brennan, was steaming 4 Chan . The first is the la retirement of the US Army, the second is a programmer, a wheelchair user. They were united by the pathos of the struggle for freedom of speech, so they provided an anonymous platform to everyone who the official media plumped their mouths. These were mainly characters from the extreme right camp. Soon, 4 Chan turned into a place for a rampant of the language of hatred, where the offended right -wing radicals anonymously pounced on the enemies of America and an establishment that could not protect it. At first, things went very well, Watkins tried to earn extra money for the porn for the Japanese, finding out that Japanese laws do not prohibit her if it is made outside the country. Our heroes moved to the Philippines, closer to the sales market, in addition to bought a pig farm. However, it soon became clear that the hatred online easily shimmers into the hatred of offline, the radicalization of the right extremists occurs precisely on anonymous forums. The authorities covered the bench. Then Brennan built a new one - 8 Chan , but began to be disappointed in the methods of struggle. Moreover, Brenton Tarrant, who shot the parishioners of the mosque in New Zealand, arranged a Lifestream massacre at his forum. The associates quarreled and, as expected, exchanged mutual denunciations to the immigration bureau. Watkins’s denunciation was first read, Brennan barely managed to take his feet out of the country, but his functions were taken by James’s son, Ronald, who shared his father's eyes. After the closing of the 8th Chan, the father and son restarted him under the new name 8 K un . Q debuted on 4 Chan , but managed to mark on the other two, after the defeat of Trump in the election, he fell silent, but the adherents did not calm down, continuing to “bake” the old crumbs. The canon on the letter Q was more or less formed, but the exegets continued to create tradition. Of course, everyone was interested in the personality of Q , but the Watkins were typed in the mouth. We conducted a linguistic examination, it turned out that at least two people composed prophecies and puzzles. Maybe the father and son themselves stamped them? Some Internet analysts even decided that a loud project is a product of rampant trolling.

Well, I know such precedents in classical conspiracyology. In 1892, the famous French mystifier Leo Taksil published the book “The Devil in the 19th Century”, the sensational details of the atrocities of the Satan immediately smashed the boulevard magazines in the light, of which in Paris there was a pond In his grandiose draw (he fascinatingly wrote Umberto Eco in the Prague Cemetery) taxi and comrades convinced the audience of the existence of a plot Palladian, who worshiped Satan. Once he personally appeared in the form of a winged crocodile, dashingly played on the piano and disappeared into the cloud of hydrogen sulfide, having previously devastated all the reserves of alcohol. “Created” Palladinism, as usual, is cunning masons. The most curious thing is that both this bought a decadent like Zhoris Gyuismans and half of the Catholic episcopate bought for all this. In the machinations of the devil, I wanted to believe everyone.

So, before us is a grandiose draw in the form of Internet trolling? It seems to me - no. Taxil, as expected, was self -wounded, it was in the spirit of the genre, he had to confirm his reputation as the greatest mystifier. When asked by the journalists why he did this, Taxil shrugged: you know, I am Marselets, we all have such there. That is, finally, he made fun of the lights again. But Ron Watkins in his telegram channel with 100 thousand followers after the inauguration of Biden said goodbye to them in a completely different style: “We gave it all, now we need to return to life with high heads.” And he promised to introduce a new project in the near future. This is not like trolling, rather, to the parting words of the general to veterans after the lost battle. Do not lose heart, the struggle continues.

It seems to me that the following happens: Q A Non is a new stage of secularization of the conspiracy the myth. The role of the enchanted world this time is played by virtual space. There is where to hide Luser, tormented by pity for himself and hatred of reality, whose laws he does not understand and in which he does not succeed. Here he is a member of the new elite with the highest access of secrecy. The rituals in this community are similar to a computer quest: the main thing is to decipher the mysterious hints and move in the right direction. Any intellectual entertainment. Is Satan Real, it doesn’t matter. According to the subtle remark of Nathaniel Gorn, "the devil itself is less terrible than in the appearance of another person." And in the malice of his living enemies, the conspiracyologist unconditionally believes and is afraid of them like fire.

So the magical game of conspiracies is for a long time. This is what we have to live with. After all, she, like Proteus, can endlessly change her forms. Recently, say, I came across an entry in the telegram channel of the alternative right: “What are you coming on Biden?! He is on the side of Trump, but only the chosen people know about this. He will continue our great business. We will win! "
