Lin Wood (here shared by GhostEzra) suggests that the Q postings might be a Flynn-inspired CIA psy-op. Could we see a major faction of the movement we call "QAnon" rejecting Q?
A part of the online MAGA movement always claimed that the Q postings were a CIA op to distract and disempower "patriots" with false claims that there was a plan.
Meanwhile, 'old' QAnon influencers are losing ground. This post denouncing Lin on WTM is filled with comments defending him (or saying the whole argument is staged, of course)
A part of this fault line is religious, with Qvangelicals backing Lin Wood and Catholics siding with Flynn.

Israel has identified four cases of the B.1.1.529 variant, all recent travellers. One case, a 32-year-old woman returning from South Africa, was triple vaccinated with Pfizer and had her 3rd dose just two months ago.
Another, a hotel worker from Malawi, had her second dose of AZ in mid-July. A third had her second J&J dose two months ago.
No reports yet if these people are suffering from any symptoms at all; all travelers are screened with PCR tests on arrival, which is how they were identified.
Morgellons or a Great Reset? HCQ or Just the Flu? Today's Hat Tip is a spotter's guide of the different types of Covid conspiracy theorist. arieh.substack.com/p/covid-conspi…
If you’re having a big family Thanksgiving meal, you can try to put your Covid Conspiracist family members into one or more of the categories in the Guide. Though I recommend doing this in your head, not publicly at the dinner table.
For example, some people think Covid the disease a hoax and all the sick people are just reclassified flu victims or invented altogether. Other people, though, think the disease is real but it's caused by something else.
Jury deadlocked on the most important claims in the civil case against the organisers of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Judge will call in the jury for an "Allen charge" to convince them to decide one way or another.
The mother of all catfights happening inside QAnon/Election conspiracy/MAGA world following Rittenhouse's accusations about Lin Wood profiting from his case. @dappergander is tracking who's still backing Lin. Answer: More people than you might have thought.
Lin Wood has become such a big figure in QAnon/deep MAGA that he can denounce Sidney Powell(!) and Mike Flynn(!!!) as crooks and lots of major QAnon influencers will still back him because their supporters love him too much. He's too big to fail.
Some QAnon influencers are turning on Rittenhouse now, including Robert Smart aka GhostEzra, Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers and a fake Telegram channel that pretends to be Ezra Cohen (it isn't really him). They think he's being controlled by RINO Deep Staters or something.
Twitter's new Clubhouse-like feature algorithmically promotes trending Spaces rather than restricting them to users' social graphs. However, this means significantly more need to enforce content policies on Spaces. Something for @TwitterSupport to think about.
Clubhouse itself issues with chatrooms devoted to antisemitism, but it's a much smaller platform than Twitter, and much more English-language. How will Twitter ensure Spaces in Pakistan, Poland or Greece don't become hotbeds of racism and extremism?
I opened the new Spaces tab on my Twitter client and "why you can't trust women" is the top recommended Space. Also near the top: a conspiracy theory space with QAnon and antivax emojis.
Most of the rest are selling NFTs or running pirate radio stations
I just got a full-conspiracy ad from Gaia in my FB.
"Learn about the Great Pyramids, lost civilizations, ancient alien influence"
"Find out what you were never supposed to know. "
"uncover the secrets and misinformation of the mainstream narrative"
Gaia is transparently targeting the Pastel QAnon (cf. @_MAArgentino) community, trying to draw in Yoga mums and hippie-curious types with promises of uncovering the secrets that the MSM keep from you.
@_MAArgentino Gaia's active ads include a video on new-age alien beliefs like "Pleiadians, Arcturians, Sirians, and the Annunaki" and a mini-feature, narrated by Mickey Rourke, with Area 51 conspiracy king Bob Lazar.
