The fringiest part of the right wing fringe, the ones who have been pushing this idiotic conspiracy theory about Trump destroying a global pedophile ring based on cryptic 8Chan postings by someone called Q Anon, is now splitting up over whether Q is authentic or not. Jerome Corsi’s total 180 on this is particularly amusing. He once claimed that a picture posted by Q was proof that he is very close to Trump, and might even be Trump himself:





The picture was of a pen on a desk, which got Corsi just trembling with excitement.

“That’s the Laurel desk,” Corsi said while discussing the image in question. “It’s the one that Obama used and apparently Trump is also using at Camp David. That’s the desktop at Camp David.” “The pen is a Montblanc ink pen that Trump has used for a long time,” Corsi continued. “That’s Camp David over the weekend and that picture had to have been taken by somebody who was there with President Trump. His pen on the desk; that pretty much authenticates that QAnon is very close to Donald Trump and present in some of these really important inner circle White House meetings.”

But then Q accused Corsi of profiting off all of this rather than being a true believer and now suddenly he’s changed his tune completely about that picture:

Think critically about WH photos of @POTUS pens, photos out Air Force One windows over Korean DMZ, etc NASA regularly captures photos & disseminates to NSA/CIA for classic PSYOP use. Photos as such prove nothing, are easily misinterpreted, BUT can look convincing to uninitiated — Jerome Corsi (@jerome_corsi) May 11, 2018

But wait…how does his accusation against Corsi change that one bit? If those photos “prove nothing” because they’re “easily misinterpreted,” why wasn’t that true in January when Corsi himself apparently was one of the “uninitiated” who misinterpreted it? Isn’t Corsi basically admitting that he was full of shit before, but without actually saying so? Oh, but it gets better. Now he is claiming that Q is really a deep state psyops AI program, run by a Marxist. Or something.

New Q (post 4/28) DS PSYOP w NASA backing. Q posts after 4/28 are formulaic – written by advanced AI program. FORMULA: xyz from open source, followed by string of cryptic questions, promised BOOMs not delivered, leftist (Marxist) subtle indoctrination ($ = "profiteering") @POTUS — Jerome Corsi (@jerome_corsi) May 11, 2018

Okay Corsi, you’re getting so ridiculous here that I’m almost feeling sorry for your fellow crackpots because you’re making them look even worse than they do on their own. And his new boss, Alex Jones, is joining in on the fun. He says he’s actually talked to the original Q and has been told that all the recent postings are someone else, that the account has been “compromised” and can no longer be trusted.

It’s like an onion, you see. You peel off one layer of stupid and there’s another layer of stupid underneath. Of course, Liz Crokin is still on the Q bandwagon, predicting 20,000 arrests any time, including Hillary Clinton. If you were to invent such characters for a movie, they would seem too far-fetched. They can only exist in reality, not in fiction.
