U.S. ABC: LARPs, Q, X & Z
How the Russians hacked America letter by letter
Four years ago, the month after J6, I shot a documentary about QAnon which, in my biased opinion, holds up very well. After investigating, researching and spelunking the Qniverse, I immediately recognized it as a bastardized version of my own work, understood the danger, warned about J6 ahead of time, and created an organization to help educate the loved ones of cult members. I stand by every word.

American Mindf*ck: The QAnon Documentary They Don't Want You to See
American Mindf*ck is a 45 minute documentary about QAnon — how it works, who’s responsible, and what its true goals are. It’s taken me a year and a half to get this out but I’m extremely proud of it, and eternally grateful to the many wonderful people who helped me finally get this done.
My journey since then has been, let’s say… difficult. My organization was infiltrated and destroyed. I have been harassed and smeared ruthlessly for years. And when I tried to distribute my documentary, I was banned from Twitter, ghosted by my distribution partner, and banned from showing it on Youtube.
This is not about my personal story, but my personal story is a symptom of the ABCs of what happened to America at large. Let me explain.
Q
From 2018 until today, “Q” has been publicized by the corporate media as a “shadowy figure” or a “mysterious anonymous account”. It had slogans and “drops” and prophecies that, except in a few notable instances, never happened. It had puzzles, of sorts. It was telling a mystery story. And, it was creating an alternate reality — but instead of admitting it was made up, Q hoaxed its followers into believing it was real.
QAnon 101
I wanted to write a short primer on QAnon. If you’ve been following my work you know most of this already, but I wanted to write it out in case it’s helpful. QAnon is complicated by design but the basic story is easy to understand. Here’s some background:
As I have extensively written, while Mike Flynn likely never wrote a single Q drop himself, “Q” is a character that spoke for Mike Flynn during its entire existence. It was created by Mike Flynn Jr.’s friends, Peter Thiel-funded neo-Nazi MAGA3X trolls James Brower and “Microchip” on 4chan — arguably the 2nd worst website in the world — for the purpose of helping Mike Flynn. While the original authors of Q drops left within a few weeks, Mike and Joe Flynn‘s friend Tracy Diaz and her crew took it over, and moved it to the Worst Website, 8chan.
From that point, Mike Flynn raised $8.5 million for Sidney Powell and his “legal defense fund” from Q believers, according to himself. When Flynn was pardoned, Q shut down, but ever since then Flynn has been both continuously encouraging it, and trying to pretend he doesn’t know what it is.
Q is a LARP
A live action role play character or LARP can be anything from kids pretending to be Merlin in Sherwood Forest firing imaginary lightning bolts, to a $15/hour Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, to a racist, fascist, anonymous account on 8chan psyopping America into suicide. All it functionally means is that there is a shield between the origin of the message and the target audience. This can be used for fun, for entertainment, as it has for millennia, or it can be used to hoax people and, as it turns out, to brainwash them.
X is 8chan. Musk is Q
The last three American elections were attacked by LARPs.
In 2016, it was Wikileaks distributing Russian-hacked emails. In 2020, it was Q doing “drops” on 8chan. In 2024, it was “based” Nazi Elon Musk flooding the “For You” tab on X with white supremacist, violent, misogynist content that all benefited the cult of Trump, and consequently of the PayPal Mafia.
In many ways, these three LARPs are responsible for the destruction of U.S. democracy, the results of which you can see in any browser tab you choose to open.
8chan was and is a festering pit of Nazi indoctrination pipelines crafted to convert “normies” into white supremacist terrorists, foreign intelligence operations, CSAM, and abusive forums dedicated to targeting people for the sadistic hell of it.
Twitter, for many years, looked down its nose at 8chan. “My god,” we’d all say, “just look at those horrible Nazis in the pit of the dark web!” But Elon Musk, clearly a denizen of 8chan himself, not only opened the doors for people who had been rightly banished from society, but recreated 8chan’s function, at an exponentially larger scale.
Z is for Russia
Vladimir Putin chose for his “Special Military Operation,” to put the letter “Z” on the equipment he used to murder Ukrainians during his illegal invasion.
This was never really explained very well, although it was echoed by Q himself.
“Operation Z”: Russo-American Neo-Nazi ISIS
Imagine 2,000 Muslims gather in a mosque in California. On stage is a series of extremist Imams, paramilitary trainers, and Sharia propagandists who praise Ayatollah Khameni.
None of this is would have been possible without the assistance of the Russians. The election in 2016 was objectively stolen. And the failure to ever get accountability for that is the worst failure in the history of our democracy because it opened the door to everything that came thereafter. Wikileaks, a LARP by Russian asset Julian Assange, was just a front for illegally Russian-obtained material.
How Did the Russians Steal the 2016 Election with American Co-conspirators? A Brief Review.
In December 2015, Mike Flynn went to a gala for Russian state propaganda network Russia Today and sat to Vladimir Putin’s right. He also sat with RT chief Margarita Simonyan, who published a video two weeks later that said her “creative director” was “Misha”—famously
In 2020, QAnon was converted to the Big Lie and used to attack the Capitol by Russian asset Mike Flynn. It was all done in public, and it all benefited Vladimir Putin.
How Mike Flynn Transformed QAnon into the Big Lie and Pointed it at the Capitol
Mike Flynn made a deal to work with Vladimir Putin to destroy American democracy in 2015. He set up MAGA3X and Pizzagate in order to swing the 2016 election, and then set up QAnon and tried to steal 2020.
In 2024, Elon Musk bought the presidency and transformed Twitter into the largest and most damaging psychological operation in the history of the world.
Using the tactics of Soviet reflexive control, Wikileaks, QAnon, and his own National Socialist beliefs, Musk stole the election, but not through some elaborate hack of the votes. Elon Musk hacked the voters. And he did with the assistance of, and for the benefit of, the Russian Federation.
Information War Is Not “Free Speech”
As the Founders were debating the Constitution, they chose to include the Right to Free Speech in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights for good reason. Freedom of ideas, of expression, of the press, and of religion were all repressed in the theocratic colonial monarchy they lived in before the Revolution. They knew that ensuring the nation they wer…
Q + X + Z = PSYOPs
The bottom line is that there is an invisible war, a war of narratives, a world of stories, that is being waged against the citizens of the entire world. To date, it’s a war that is only being fought by one side — while the other pretends it’s all politics.
Stories are how people learn, how they think, how they make decisions about what to do in the future. If all the stories they hear tell them what to conclude, they will conclude it — no matter what it is. Stories are the core alphabet of human thought.
When stories are weaponized to alter someone’s psychology for a hidden purpose, that is also known as a PSYOP, a psychological operation. The world is infested with them. It’s basically all that’s left in the information space.
We need a complete reset. A return to the ABCs of reality, if you will. There’s a simple idea that we need to bring back:
Not all stories are the same. Some are real and some are not.
This seems like an elementary concept, something you learn at the same time you learn that lying is bad. And that, of course, is the point. We’ve been lied to for so long most of us no longer know what is real and what is not.
So, it’s up to you and me to hold the line between fact and fiction, between truth and lies, between news and PSYOPs, and between ABCs and Q, X & Z.

Musk hacked the vote and voters.
🆘
Check the must see video I posted in my Notes. This woman ran the Big Bullshit Bill through AI and the resulting analysis is a must see. This trojan horse bill will be one of the final nails in the coffin of democracy. https://substack.com/profile/68302982-john-king-my-humble-opinion?utm_source=substack-feed-item Posted by @hautefolie
