maple<p>I'll preference this by saying that some people will probably immediately jump to the conclusion that this is an anti-Semitic article. It is not. Saying that the Israeli government or their Intelligence agencies does bad things is no different than saying Donald Trump is acting like a fascist, or that Vladimir Putin is murderous killer. None of those statements indicate hate toward the Israeli, American, or Russian people (at least not all of them, though in at least the first two cases you may not think very highly of the people who voted for the current leaders). That the leadership of a country is doing terrible things does not mean that all the citizens of that country are bad, and you should be able to make that observation without some self-appointed censor trying to shut you down.</p><p>So with that said, remember all the QAnon flags on January 6? Remember how it was QAnon that help propel <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> into his first term? Did you ever wonder how all that nonsense ever got started? Yes, <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/4chan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>4chan</span></a>, but how did all that stuff get posted there? Maybe you thought it was Russian disinformation, but if you thought that, you were blaming the wrong country, according to this article:</p><p>"4Chan" Exposed as Israeli Mossad Honeypot/Propaganda/Incitement Site </p><p><a href="https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/4chan-exposed-as-israeli-mossad-honeypot-propaganda-incitement-site" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">halturnerradioshow.com/index.p</span><span class="invisible">hp/news-selections/world-news/4chan-exposed-as-israeli-mossad-honeypot-propaganda-incitement-site</span></a></p><p>Now if this is all true, then it's no wonder why Trump is so willing to give the Israeli government a free pass, and tries so hard to shut down anti-Israeli/pro-Palestinian protests and articles, and is deporting the protestors that aren't U.S. citizens. Remember, he is even trying to shut down universities that don't take a hard line against protests or turn in student protestors to ICE. To put it simply, he owes the Israelis big time!!! They very likely made all the difference in his first election. If you have never watched any of the videos where MAGA types are gathered (at Trump's rallies, for example) there are always several people carrying "Q" or "QAnon" banners, flags, or signs. Even many Republican members of Congress are or were "Q" devotees. I don't think you can possibly understate how much of a difference this made in the 2016 election, and to a lesser extent in the 2024 election.</p><p>That is all I will say about it but I hope some of the news sites clamp onto this like a bulldog and do full articles about it. The American people deserve to know who has been manipulating their thinking, and is now responsible for efforts to shut down free speech on American campuses. </p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/2016election" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>2016election</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/USNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USNews</span></a></p>
