The roots of Alt-QAnon go back to this post, from December 2017. Below, I'll reproduce, edit, and add to the evidence presented there -- i.e. specific evidence of Alt-QAnon at work, although I wasn't calling it that back then -- and in future posts I'll expand on some of the points.
The basic thing to keep in mind when reading and thinking about this as that WRAITHs attract and collect human beings to serve their purposes, where those purposes are completely amoral -- always sociopathic, often homicidal.
Sam Harris (perhaps another honorary high priest of Alt-QAnon) made a point about religion that resonates here:
Now, I’m obviously not saying that all . . . all religious people[] are psychopaths and psychotics, but this to me is the true horror of religion. It allows perfectly decent and sane people to believe by the billions, what only lunatics could believe on their own.
Here's the beginning of the list of the behaviors of WRAITHs that have achieved malevolent artificial intelligence:
Industries and Corporations
Drug companies
- They engage in all sorts of profit-maximizing behavior that is socially horrible, and actually prevents medications from getting to patients who need them. Here is a link to a proposal for nationalization of drug development, which itemizes some of the abuses.
- They are responsible for the opioid epidemic and the suppression of legalized medical marijuana
- Suppression of broadband, while other countries have it, at low prices.
- 1971 Change of NYSE rule that investment banks had to be privately held such that partners could only take their draws on retirement; shifting to an annual bonus culture based on sales, not relationships
- Clinton Administration repeal of the Glass Steagall Act
- Repeated ability to get bailouts
- Various profit-maximizing behaviors -- both legal and criminal -- that led to 2008 financial crisis
- Using political influence to avoid prosecution for these behaviors
- Using political influence to prevent corrective regulation
- Iraq war
- Suppression of information about climate change back in the 1980s
The Gun Industry
- NRA members see themselves as fighting for their individual rights, but really they are pawns of the gun industry
- If lobbying to ensure that assault weapons are widely available will help them increase profits, that's what they will do, regardless of social cost.
The Cigarette Industry
- has always had the goal of hooking people while they are young. Now that this is difficult to do in the United States, they are doing it in other places, like Africa.
- And they've also gained more vulnerable addicts by giving out free cigarettes to mental health patients
The Alcohol Industry
- Like big Pharma, has lobbied hard to suppress legalization of marijuana for medical purpose
The Meat Industry
- Treating sentient beings -- ones who experience exactly the same kinds of emotions of love, attachment, and loss that we do -- as assembly line products to be raised and killed at the lowest possible expense, and thus in the most inhumane ways.
And that's just the industries. There is also an endless list of individual corporations that have caused untold damage in pursuit of profit.
- Facebook selling the election to the Russians
- Credit reporting agencies compromising our data
- Toshiba selling submarine propeller technology
- Ford not recalling exploding Pintos based on cost benefit analysis
Governments
- Starting or supporting wars of expansion based on notions of national or racial superiority
Armies
- Encouraging mass murder of civilians by de-humanizing the enemy.
Religions
- Inciting adherents to murder those who have other beliefs
- Inciting human sacrifice among adherents -- in many ancient cultures, including sacrifice of ones own children; in today's world, inciting suicide bombers.
