23. Easy to access means easy to infilitrate
Mon Feb 15, 2021, 08:52 AM
Feb 2021

The same things that made attracting new members online for them have made infiltration easy. It's all online, it's all anonymous, it's easy. And above being infiltrated by the authorities or left leaning groups looking to report them, there's a lot of false leaders in their ranks, people egging them on that are not really all in and are just doing it for kicks. One major Q leader whose online persona was named "The Commander" and pretending to be ex military in the know, turned out to be a 13 year old kid just looking for attention.

The FBI has been warning about these groups for years, the last administration did little to prevent this extremism, that will change now. Bottom line is that these groups need to stop planning terrorist attacks and stop promoting violence, if they don't they're going to be shutdown and/or arrested.
