"QAnon" Beat Journalists In The Fake News Suck At Their Jobs

First, They Don't Seem To Research Anything; Second, If Their Goal Was To Destroy Or At Least Contain The Q Movement, They Have Utterly And Completely Failed At It

The problem with Fake News hacks like Mike Rothschild isn't really that he's biased.

Shit, we expect that from Fake News journalists.

Bias is baked into the cake when it comes to the Mockingbird Media.

No, the real problem with Little Mikey is that he's incredibly incompetent and sloppy with basic fact checking. And yet here’s Politico trotting him out as an ‘expert’ on the “QAnon movement”, whatever the hell that is.

Let me give you just one example of how 'QAnon' beat journalists like Mikey can't even do basic research as they spin half truths and completely made up 'facts' about the anons and other journalists they write about for a living.

My good friend Tracy Beanz [@tracybeanz on X]

I first meet Tracy on Twitter back in the Olden Days of 2017. We were both researching and digging into and posting extensively about the Trump/Russia Collusion Hoax, and we ended up in the same Twitter DM research room.

She is literally the best investigative journalist I know.

For years, I've watched "QAnon" beat reporters for The Daily Dot and other asswipe websites describe Tracy as a "key QAnon influencer".

Let me explain to you just how hysterically funny that description is, OK?

It was back in late 2017 and early 2018 that as a **journalist**, Tracy stuck her head into the Q movement **for a very brief time** to report on it because it was interesting and current news.

She quickly formed the opinion that Q was **fake** and **not real** and so she quickly **stopped reporting on it** and as far as she could help it, never mentioned Q or the Q drops again.

Despite the fact she never described herself as a Q follower or a Q enthusiast, and years passed by without her ever mentioning or talking about Q, except to say she didn't believe in it, QAnon beat reporters like Mikey continued to publish defamatory articles in which they described Tracy as a early and important "QAnon influencer".

To this day "QAnon" beat reporters insist on describing her as if she continues to be a key "QAnon" public figure supporting the movement, still involved in it or something.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

And if these hacks would actually do some research, they'd have figured this out by now.

Q people themselves - and I know plenty of them - would’ve told these hacks Tracy is nowhere to be found in their community. She briefly interviewed some top Q people back in early 2018 and then had nothing to do with the movement from that point forward.

Apparently anybody whoever even tangentially connected to the Q movement, even journalists who only briefly reported on it at the start, need to smeared and defamed, so over-the-top did the attacks on Q grow in the Fake News.

As a result of her early reporting on the Q phenomena, I watched Tracy get deplatformed on numerous websites. Patreon, PayPal, Venmo, Twitter, Facebook, they all kicked her off.

Mikey and the other 'QAnon' beat journalists were leading a massive censorship drive to have any and all Q promoters or influencers banned and deplatformed all across the spectrum of social media and financial services websites.

You didn't even have to be a central Q person promoting it and spreading it to get taken down and taken out by this overt censorship that was being encouraged and driven by the Mockingbird Media.

Tracy was far from the only person who was only tangentially connected to Q to end up suffering financial and reputational damage by hacks like Mikey Rothschild.

The massive investment of effort by the Deep State to discredit the Q movement early and often, going to lunatic extremes to stamp out the movement, swept up a lot of incidentally connected people, one of whom was Tracy.

Its no secret these days I'm a Q believer. Tracy is not. However, we are still very good friends. Hell, she's supporting DeSantis and I'm supporting Trump. We're STILL good friends. Did all of you out there know this was even possible?

IT'S TRUE.

But I digress.

Here's my point: the 'QAnon' beat in the Fake News Media seems to have been given to the sloppiest, worst reporters who don't even attempt to casually verify the shit they publish.

Had Mikey done even basic research before smearing some of the people he's described as 'key QAnon promoters', he'd have not published an awful lot of the crap he's put out there the past few years.

Under the old Twitter, people like Mikey were helping the Twitter staff target and permanently ban any and all Q related postings.

As I started doing serious research into Q in the winter of 2022, I discovered just how much of a scorched earth policy that Twitter 1.0 had been implementing on Q-related postings on this platform.

Its no secret that Q Team made **extensive use** of Twitter 1.0 in promoting and spreading the Q information and questions that people began researching and investigating.

[This was the brilliance of Q Team on display. Taking the DARPA Deep State spy tool disguised as a 'social media app' called 'Twitter' and using it against them to spur ordinary citizens into asking the right questions and researching for themselves and digging into the relevant issues]

I discovered through my research of the historical Q drops that Q many times linked or posted screenshots of various Twitter accounts. And these ordinary citizen accounts getting cited by Q Team was almost an instant death sentence under the old Twitter regime.

You think the efforts to utterly stamp out Hunter Biden laptop discussion before the 2020 election was bad? Or discussion of early COVID treatments?

They were practicing this total jihad censorship shit on the Q community **long** before they unleashed it on the rest of you.

Time and again, to find out exactly why Q Team had cited a particular Twitter account, I discovered that account was banned and the tweet was no longer visible. I ended up making extensive use of The Wayback Machine in order to discover what had gotten Q Team's attention and caused them to cite that particular tweet.

Now, you can take one of two positions here:

1. That Mikey and his colleagues were trying to do you all a solid, that they were doing you all a FAVOR by their efforts to discredit the Q movement and utterly stamp it out to halt and stop the spread of extremely awkward questions and problematic research, because Q is just a LARP and/or a disinfo campaign. In that case, yay Mikey and Twitter 1.0 censors! Too bad they couldn't stop Q, right? Because according to this view, we'd all be FAR better off by now if the pernicious Q illusion had been strangled in the cradle.

I happen to hold to the second point of view.

2. There actually was some highly damaging info to the Deep State in the Q drops, and this explains why there was such an over-the-fucking-top extreme and never-before-seen effort to censor/suppress/destroy a research movement asking all the right awkward questions on the real issues.

Whichever viewpoint you happen to hold to, that Q is fake or its real, one thing nobody can argue with me about: there has NEVER been anything quite like the orchestrated and concentrated campaign to destroy the Q movement by all the same people that lied to us about COVID, the laptop, Trump/Russia collusion, and every other 'conspiracy theory' that's been proven true over just the last 3 years.

And right now as the Epstein stuff gets hot again, and more people are finding out about how intelligence agencies working for Shadow Cabal governments created vital blackmail using honeypot locations around the globe where rich elites are brought into contact with 'models' of 'indeterminate age', its no secret why all the "QAnon" beat reporters are stepping up their efforts to push back against the same old 'right wing conspiracy theories' about fascination with human/sex trafficking, especially of children.

Face it Mikey.

You lost.

The anon movement is still here and its stronger than ever. And it is WINNING.

My proof?

I've been posting direct Q info and drops on the X platform ever since Elon and the new ownership behind him let me back on.

And I'm still there.

Under the old Twitter regime, taking their que from assholes like you, who raised the visibility of Q accounts in order to claim they were ‘dangerous’ and how they needed to be shut down? I'd have been ghosted long before now.

Why am I still there?

Because nothing can stop what is coming.
