I never really got into the 'Q' postings, as the entire thing set off my spidey senses. They've been wrong before, but usually right.

Thank you!

Wouldn’t it be wild if we find out ‘Q’ was ... Jeffrey Epstein?

Wouldn't it be wild if we find out ‘Q’ was ... Jeffrey Epstein?

And that the whole thing was a plot designed to make the idea of an elite child sex trafficking ring so ludicrous, so dangerous, that we must purge the internet of such "fake news," lest we want more Pizzagate tragedies?

Hear me out.

In 2013, Epstein meets with the 4chan founder the day before the platform drops its infamous /pol board, which became a hive for "far right" memes and eventually Qanon. (Of note, 4chan's founder says the timing is a coincidence and he regrets his relationship w/ Epstein.)

The meeting came via Bill Gates' adviser/Epstein's friend, Boris Nikolic, who marveled of these platforms' exploitability to Epstein: "the potential for manipulation is huge." Nikolic linked a WaPo article discussing how 4Chan had been exploited to launch cyberattacks and fuel a “hive mind” mentality.

Later in 2013, Epstein emails Joi Ito, Martin Nowak, and Joscha Bach on the importance of narratives people can emotionally invest in: "the deception of the individual is necessary for the survivability of the group... A nation needs heroes. A hero is someone who is dead, for the benefit of the group. deception between different hierarchies... work hard to become successful, benefit for the org, not you"

We also see in these files Epstein spending a fortune manipulating online perceptions of his operations.

In 2012, he hired Reputation Changer LLC for a comprehensive "Reputation Clearing Action Plan.™" The proposal explicitly states the goal was to "suppress negative listings that can render them nearly invisible" and achieve "full control and maintenance of Jeffrey Epstein's major search engine results to avoid permanent public embarrassment."

Reputation Changer used a "proprietary Reputation Management and Real-Time Linking System™" designed to "push negative content about you or your brand off of the first page of the major search engines and out of general public view" [Page 7]. Their analysis showed that 95% of web users don't search past page 1, making first-page dominance crucial.

The firm identified specific "negative keywords" including "Jeffrey Epstein" and monitored search results showing problematic content like:"Jeffrey Epstein kept a diary of his under-aged victims - Telegraph""Jeffrey Epstein: How the Hedge Fund Mogul Pedophile Got Off Easy""Jeffrey Epstein: This Isn't A Sex Offender, It's An Offender!" [Page 6] 2016: Wikileaks begins DNC drops. This is the first time the public encounters the kind of depraved behavior we've since learned overlaps with the Epstein files.

Soon thereafter, Epstein is emailing his lawyer with the idea of mixing fake, extreme emails into the real ones: "What a trick could be played," he writes.

2017: Feds turn up heat (supposedly) on Epstein, around which time the Qanon drops begin. The conspiracy theory's focus on elite child trafficking networks directly mirrored the allegations against Epstein.

Also of note: News of Epstein's death was posted to 4chan more than half an hour before it became public, leading the NYCFD to investigate if someone leaked. This indicates the platform's potential use for seeding narratives as part of larger psyops.

The Epstein files also include an email from a redacted source (although I can see it's his friend, the late author Edward Jay Epstein) with CIA Document #1035-960 from April 1967 marked "PSYCH" for Psychological Warfare Operations, which provided instructions for "media assets" on how to label critics as "conspiracy theorists." Epstein responded: "great, i would frame it and highlight the words our ploy" (emph. added). (I also can't help but note: Edward Jay Epstein was a published author whose most famous book skeptically examined the Warren Commission report; he would have been well experienced to help manufacture fake Qanon posts, but THIS IS PURE SPECULATION.)

Also of significance is Ghislaine Maxwell's prominent role in Reddit. Maxwell's Reddit account "accumulated 14,993,132 Karma since March 11, 2016," per the FBI, and "served as an influential moderator for many subreddits. This is an extraordinary amount of karma indicating either highly popular content, or more likely, systematic posting.

The FBI noted "gaps in posting surrounding the death of Ghislaine Maxwell's mother (Elisabeth Maxwell), suggesting the account's activity correlated with real-world events in Maxwell's life. Unsurprisingly, Maxwell used the account to try persuading people toward more lenient attitudes on child sex trafficking, posting links like:

"Falkvinge: Three strong reasons child porn must be re-legalized in the coming decade"
"Girl steps in front of man's car. He grabs her arm and lectures her about traffic safety. Result? He is now a convicted sex offender"

Finally, the Qanon craziness ended up playing a role in Maxwell's trial. During one of the proceedings, "Qanon activists" began interrupting proceedings, and her lawyers used the apparent risk of Pizzagate/Qanon violence to insist she be granted bail.

OF COURSE, I have identified NO SMOKING GUN that Jeffrey Epstein was surreptitiously running the Qanon psyop. But there is certainly a lot of circumstantial evidence that overlaps with his own strategic interests.

Ultimately, in the Qanon conspiracy, Trump was the hero who was secretly arranging to have pedos lined up & arrested. In reality, he doesn't seem particularly interested in us pulling this thread any harder. Opinions as to why will surely differ.
