Hello QAnon followers, your old enemy Poker here. Yesterday I told you that you had been lied to this whole time and the latest lie was the Arizona Audit that crashed and burned. Now I'm here to tell you about how the lie works. I call it the Big V's Vs The Secret Truth.

The Big V's are the emotions that draw people into QAnon, validation, vindication, victory and vengeance. I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

The moment that got QAnon all the Big V's rolled into one was Trump winning the 2016 election. Evil Hillary defeated ("they never thought she would lose") The MSM that predicted Trump loss shamed. Libs owned. It was perfect. Nothing shall ever top that moment.

There is a reason why "Screaming liberal woman" is their go to meme. It's the moment of their victory. A woman screaming in horror as Trump is introduced as President gives them joy. Their ultimate victory, their ultimate vengeance.

Yet they must chase the dragon. There must be another even greater moment for QAnon. The Great Awakening is this moment. When all the bad guys are arrested, all the predictions of Q shall come to pass and all the followers of Q will be proven right.

This is what QAnon promoters sell to their audience day in and day out. You will be have victory. You will own the libs. Your spouse and children who left you over the vaccine will return and beg forgiveness.

The problem for QAnon promoters is they can't truly offer you any of the Big V's. Their cupboard is bare. They have no victory to give you, no validation for you to be granted. You will receive no vindication and your thirst for vengeance shall go unquenched.

So they have to sell you the counterfeit merchandise. They have to sell you "The Secret Truth". They have to tell you that you've got the inside scoop on what's really going on in the world and that one day "The Secret Truth" will get you those Big V's.

They ask you to remember how Trump was doomed in 2016, but they knew better. They promise you that the same thing will happen this time, just on a longer time frame, be patient, Trust The Plan.

Sometimes Q would just make up deadlines for when The Secret Truth would finally give you a payoff.

Most of the time Q just latched onto real world events and promised the Big V's were coming. Sessions/Sealed Indictments/Huber/Durham, the 2020 election. On and on the promised payoff was offered. Q had The Secret Truth and Q wasn't going to let you down, right?

Then Q did let you down. Then Biden won and Q quit and the rest of the folks making a buck off this stuff told you to keep on keeping on because The Secret Truth is worth investing in.

I'm here to tell you that The Secret Truth is worthless. It's the Iraqi Dinar of emotional currency. I believed the CIA killed JFK. I thought 9/11 was an inside job. I bought into all of it and it never gave me anything but a misplaced sense of smug superiority.

Maybe in 2024 Trump will win back the Presidency. Maybe you'll get some payoff from somewhere, but it will come from sources other than the guys posting, podcasting, and substacking about how Trump is secretly President and we need to audit all 50 states.

They are selling you empty promises and broken dreams. They know what you want and they promise you that you'll get it, just keep waiting, one day The Secret Truth will be worth something, trust them.

Wonder whatever became of the band Angelfish and if anyone from that group ever made anything of themselves. Maybe I'll look that up on the internet someday. "Suffocate me" and "Heartbreak to Hate" are kicking tunes.
