1) This is my Q thread for August 20, 2020.

Why Is Everything 'Q' Being Censored, Banned, and Attacked?

3) Facebook has removed or restricted hundreds of pages, accounts, and groups related to Qanon claiming, without evidence, that the accounts violate its policy regarding “dangerous individuals and organizations.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-19/facebook-removes-hundreds-of-qanon-groups-limits-thousands-more
4) This came on the heels of Twitter's decision to suspend Q related accounts after claiming, without evidence, that they engage in violence. https://twitter.com/TwitterSafety/status/1285726277719199746
5) Why are multi-billion dollar companies expending massive resources to shut down a so-called fringe conspiracy?
What threat does Q pose to them?

6) The President's comments about Q yesterday didn't satisfy the press, so they questioned @PressSec Kayleigh McEnany again this morning.
7) Kayleigh hit the nail on the head.
The media have an unhealthy obsession with Q.
They can't stop thinking or talking about the irrelevant, fringe, kooky conspiracy.

10) A "Fifth Column" is a group of operatives or agents who secretly undermine national interests.

11) On January 21st, 2017, the day after his inauguration, POTUS visited the CIA's headquarters.
As he closed his address, he made a joking reference to the 5th column that had developed inside the agency.

12) The arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell brings into the light her unusual skill set and the connections she has to powerful people.
13) The first few minutes of this video explain Maxwell's experience as a helicopter pilot and submariner.
These skills would be handy for transferring people and cargo to and from Little St. James Island.

15) Joe Biden's brother owned land on a nearby island. He divided it into 3 parcels & sold one to a lobbyist connected to Joe Biden for the price of the entire plot of land. The lobbyist then gave Biden's brother a mortgage loan on the entire property. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/28/james-biden-lobbyist-virgin-islands-099318
16) It's possible the land deal was a way of transferring money to the Biden family in exchange for political favors.
17) After asking POTUS about Q, the media asked VP Pence.
18) Next, the media asked House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, who said "There is no place for Qanon in the Republican Party." https://thehill.com/homenews/house/513101-gop-leader-there-is-no-place-for-qanon-in-the-republican-party
19) The media have decided to take discussions of Q mainstream.
One result of that decision is a record number of searches for Q during the last week.
This graph shows Google searches for Qanon since October of 2017 when Q first posted.

20) The decision by the press to take Qanon mainstream seems to have a strategic goal in mind.
They're targeting conservative leaders and trying to force them to weigh in on Q.

21) The goal is to get conservative leaders to denounce Q publicly by shaming them.
Apparently, the media believe that rejection of Q by respected leaders will discourage people from learning about Q for themselves.

22) Even though many people in Washington DC follow Q, they understand the importance of optics.
Aspiring politicians understand the popularity of Q and many of them will publicly affirm Q, hoping to grow their base of support.

23) But Q is a double-edged sword.
Elected leaders need to be concerned about alienating Q skeptics. I would expect anyone running for re-election to deny any knowledge of Q, even if they secretly read Q's posts.

24) That's the conclusion this article came to.
"Few other elected Republicans have been willing to speak out publicly. Mostly, they avoid questions about it (Q), demonstrating the thin line some officials are trying to walk." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/us/politics/qanon-trump-republicans.html

25) Due to the media's current strategy, it seems that public discussion of Q is only going to increase.
Each person will have to decide for themself whether Q is worth following.
