FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican QAnon conspiracy promoter from Georgia, wrote on Facebook that the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School massacre was a “false flag” operation.

Her claim, from 2018, was unearthed and reported by Media Matters, a left-leaning news site that focuses on conservative media.

The Media Matters report included screen shots and links to the posts, which were still visible at midday Tuesday.

Discovery of the Georgia congresswoman’s view — which has no basis in reality — was greeted with disgust by people with firsthand knowledge of the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre that left 17 people dead and 17 injured at the high school in Parkland.

Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime, was murdered at the school, addressed his response to Greene in a Twitter post Tuesday and included a picture of her. “We have never met. It appears you think or at one time thought the school shooting in Florida was a false flag. I know you have met Parkland parents. This is my daughter Jaime, she was killed that day. Do you still believe this? Why would you say this?”

1. Gross.

2. Disconnected from reality or

Just a vile evil excuse for a human. She needs to be removed from the house. Put someone in that believes big foot was seen at Star Bucks recently grabbing a grande white mocha. That would be a step up.

3. YIKES. More from the linked article:

David Hogg, a student at Stoneman Douglas at the time of the shooting and now a activist fighting gun violence, said on Twitter that Greene should resign. “Why did you call the shooting at my high school a false flag? 17 classmates and staff died - spreading conspiracies about this tragedy is disgusting,” he added.

In addition to commenting that the massacre was a “false flag” planned event, Media Matters reported that Greene said in a separate 2018 Facebook post that “I am told that Nancy Pelosi tells Hillary Clinton several times a month that ‘we need another school shooting’ in order to persuade the public to want strict gun control.”

Greene is a monstrosity.

4. Qanon

Well if she believes in Q than no crazy conspiracy is too big.

10. Some clever hackers need to expose who Q is.

I heard an interview recently where someone familiar with the platform likened it to a gaming platform where people get clues and are gradually sucked into play. I’ve never understood the gaming phenomenon (too old!), but if QAnon is like a game to believers, it sure does encourage violent behavior.

It would be good to know who Q is. I’ve wondered whether it’s a Russian and another part of Putin’s effort to destroy the US.

12. Q is a joint effort of three guys' buzzfeed in the Philippines--Jim & Ron Watkins & Fred Brennan--

and crowdsourced amplification. Russia benefits from it, but 8chan started it and 8kun continues it.

Q's been hiding in plain sight, but out of American jurisdiction. Doesn't mean Duterte would protect them if we sent in some team, but that's not been given any consideration by govt officials, by the looks of it.

It's all fear-based bullshit, but their bullshit is exactly what mobilized so many on platforms last year, which is why the allegedly unwitting platforms dropped tens of thousands of accounts. And it's done a lot of psychic damage in this country, along with the tearing apart of relationships and families.

Here are some old posts about it.

18. Thank you. I missed those articles about Q.

[ancianita]

19. Glad to help.

5. The sooner a Congressional Inquiry or federal charges catch up with her the better.

I hear that psychiatric services are available in most federal lock-ups.

6. Man

She almost makes Golmert sound sane and we all know he's fruitcake nutty

[marble falls]

7. The difference is Louis Gohmert is as dumb as a rock and she's as dumb as a door knob.

[Escurumbele]

8. I am a cynic when it comes to people like that, I don't believe they believe what they say and write

I believe they do it because that is what their audience want to hear, but not because they believe it to be so.

These people are opportunists and they will stop at nothing to lie if they find the lies convenient to their goals, just like Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and many other republicans.

Criminals don't see consequences, they just see the end goal and everything in between is just collateral damage.

14. You've pretty much described anti-social personality disorder

[Marcuse]

16. And Trumpery

[mdbl]

9. QAnon should be the name of a building for the criminally insane

and all it's followers can move in there.

[Yeehah]

11. These republican q-kooks are lower than whale shit

in Marianas Trench.

[ancianita]

13. This is less about how dumb our leaders are and more about how manipulated they are by

foreign hostiles, and much worse, how "clever" they think they are to exploit ignorant Americans.

QANON shit is spread by a Russian search engine and AI programs.

Reading all kinds of basic googled sources will lead Americans to three guys. THEY ARE Q.
They are the buzz feeders of Q apps that make "believers" feel so cool, so smart.

Two of them both moved to the Philippines to run Qanon so they'd be out of American jurisdiction power. They run Q with Jason J. Gelinas, some alleged security 'analyst' out of New Jersey, and together they smoke pot, make up conspiracies, feed media, sell the Q app.

Trumpers continue to be duped by Jim Watkins and Russian intelligence, in conjunction with a pack of traitors, grifters, amoral politicians, and plutocrats who do not care about any of the duped Americans who believe their dangerous bullshit.

Jim Watkins has been ‘Q’ since at least the Great Blackout of 2019 — the THREE MONTH period of time when 8chan went down, Brennan had to sell it, and the ”government intelligence operative” -- Watkins -- dupes believe in could not even figure out how to use Twitter.

80% of Americans don't have college degrees, and QANON believers are the most Gullible, Obsessed Pattern seeking chimps (GOP) among that population.


These are the people the so-called Q exploiters in Congress represent. They need to be investigated, evidence compiled on their duplicity and complicity, and then expelled. Expelled.

The nation can't heal until their poison is removed.

[Yeehah]

15. You have to be willfully stupid and morally bankrupt

to buy into this "Q" shit.

[ancianita]

17. That's what these congresspeople are, per MLK, "sincerely ignorant & conscientiously stupid."

They are a poison on the body politic and need to be removed not because of their mental states and characters but because of what they have done with them.

They cannot be trusted to make decisions in The People's House and Senate, no matter their degrees (looking at Hawley and Cruz) or past political experience.
