Yeah definitely overlap with the “play records backwards to hear satan” crowd. Side effect of basically being a christian theocracy is that you get a few nutters that see satan everywhere. Flat earth is overwhelmingly devoutly religious nutters, too.
When I was a kid these people spread the idea that we were having “rainbow parties” and used slap bracelets in class to claim which girls we wanted to have sex with.
Had not heard of this. This is like an organized crime investigation where they spend a long time investigating, put together lists of places to hit and finally hit a bunch of places in the same day? IE, they let children sit in captivity while they’re doing all this? I would think each and every lead about an abducted child is an emergency that needs to be acted on immediately.
Or what?
They decided to sweep all the strip clubs and found 17 year olds?
They found a bunch of kids in the basement of a pizza joint all at once?
These were known custody disputes that were awaiting some court rulings?
These were federal cops? Were all the people involved here undocumented immigrants? Like aunts and uncles and cousins arrested for abducting the children they were caring for who came here unaccompanied?
And for my most conspiratorial thought: Is there any chance this is entirely made up?
The one example I have so far is a 17 year old girl who had run away from foster care and she was so thrilled to be “rescued” that she had to be in handcuffs.
Not so much with the moms, but the hard core Q freaks do kind of seem more jealous than outraged. They’re doing child rape and ruling the world. It’s not fair!
This shit is infuriating. I’ve seen several iterations of “39 kids were found in a double wide trailer in Georgian. Why isn’t this the biggest story in america?!”
Kids were recovered or found over a two week period all over the state. Most were taken by parents in a custodial dispute some runaway. Some lost. Some trafficked. Obviously it’s great that kids were found, but the bullshit fake news is so absurdly frustrating.
I gave it two minutes of thought and came to this conclusion.
QAnon is what happens when people who watch simple CBS police procedurals want to move beyond those easy case solves where you need a 5 year old brain and an 80 IQ to solve. Sometimes it’s because they stopped watching TV. Sometimes it’s because the procedural block is in reruns but with no real timetable for return like now.
Arthur and Frank explained they’re not followers of QAnon. Frank says she spends most of her free time researching child sex trafficking, while Arthur adds that she often finds this information on the Russian-owned search engine Yandex. Frank’s eyes fill with tears as she describes what she’s found: children who are being raped and tortured so that “the cabal” can “extract their blood and drink it.” She says Trump has seized the blood on the black market as part of his fight against the cabal. “I think if Biden wins, the world is over, basically,” adds Arthur. “I would honestly try to leave the country. And if that wasn’t an option, I would probably take my children and sit in the garage and turn my car on and it would be over.”
