Role Play & Acting
A Series on Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
The following very long piece focusing on Jeremiah Liend, @TheChurchofQ1, is a long thorough fascinating piece showing how generally good people can be dragged into bad things by these master manipulators connected to the KassandraSeven Network. How did Liend connect?
Liend reached out to far-right extremist Fredrick Brennan who has been laundering his reputation playing down his connections to GamerGate, Q Anon and 8Chan, getting himself pulled right on in, over QAnon ripping off and incorporating some aspects of Liend’s own work.
This is what Liend said on Twitter following the initial publication on Medium:
If I was still living in Minnesota, I would endorse Liend for 2022 for what it is worth. I like Liend separate from his social media, as he doesn’t fit the GamerGate suicide-pushing sociopath types that Brennan typically hangs with. Looking at you Mike. Looking at you.

Role Play and Acting
A Series on Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
One of the grave misconceptions that the press and general public has bought into regarding the QAnon movement is that the whole thing was just some active role play game that got out of hand. Much of that has to do with the press giving this guy below and other such operatives the ability to launder reputations on air, and to lie, lie, lie. Fred downplays what Q Anon actually is because that is part of his schtick.
8Chan creator who has said that the host for Q drops, had undue influence over Q. While he meant that as Jim and Ron Watkins, He himself had that same power and undue influence
Bogus Fred.
I know game designers. I know games. QAnon is not a game, nor a role play.
QAnon, while having added components of stories, puzzles, conspiracies and role plays, is not a game, rather a well-crafted militarized PsyOp built with hate, misogyny, racism, supremacy and conspiracies around an effective cult of personality. Its primary purpose in my opinion, is to weave branches of conspiracies together, pulling in a broad coalition of people to form the American Fifth column meant to undermine western democracy. That fifth column can and has been directed into anti-government activism such as January 6th, the trucker convoys, school board storming and God knows what else they think will work.
That sprawling operation spiraling out from the Q Anon core began and has always been supervised under the direction of Mike Flynn, who is essentially Putin’s American general.
Yes, there were multiple operators including Ron Watkins. Who cares about Ron? He is a nobody that did the job assigned to him. The man in charge, telling the codemonkeyz what to do gets full credit anyway, which incidentally, is why Thomas Edison “invented” the lightbulb not the brilliant scientific and African American mind Louis Latimer that did most of the work. The guy that owned the work, gets the credit.
If you haven’t already read Stewartson’s work, this piece sums up most, but likely not all, of the main pilots that have run the QAnon PsyOp on behalf of Mike Flynn.
QAnon is and always was Mike Flynn’s baby.
That being said, QAnon was built upon a pre-existing foundation, one that has a load of rabbit holes, some needing blowing up, others explored. This next piece is one of those cases, with a purposeful rabbit hole. You decide which it is, the kind needed exploration or the kind needing blown up and filled in.
A writer, an actor, a politician.
This guy above, Jeremiah Liend Segment is in my opinion, a cut WAY above the professional grade of just a regular community actor, capable of turning on and off his designated role just as simply as flipping on or off a switch. He is good. I’d pay to watch him do stuff. Just watch a bit of this PBS clip from his local area, see his excellent acting and hear him when he is being himself. Strong acting. Rational normal person.
His Twitter account, the one he uses to promote his work, and now uses exclusively FOR work, is completely in character, almost never breaking from the role. Remember, a rational normal person. Professional actor. I have to say that multiple times because this guy, if you didn’t know that he was in character, could easily have one think he is somebody completely bonkers. Yes, he is that good which is why I included a link to his professional acting first. Completely ration normal person. Professional actor.
Because he is a well-nuanced method actor, it may be difficult for many to tell who is the man, and who is the persona if at first they encounter his writings, books or Twitter account dedicated to playing the role of Agent Q, the titular character he himself created and self-published his first Q focused book, in 2011. That was followed up with The Book of Q in 2012, and more recently the third book, Book of Q:Mars with coauthors Keith Johnson and Thomas Davey. Each book was self-reviewed and given five stars by its author, the only reviews of two of these books at the time of this writing.
Here is the self-review of his Book of Q: Mars
This three book collection of a secret agent sword wielding swashbuckler, Agent Q who according to the first book’s description, challenges or interviews future villains that include a Nazi Obama, President for Life Michelle Bachman and Mark Zukerberg. His other literary works are a collection of prose and plays.The stuff I reviewed is well-written and frankly bizarre. Here is the interview with Nazi Obama, written in 2009, that is likely included also in his first book.
Between what happens badly to Rupert Murdoch and every credible reporter, Google being nationalized, suitcase nuclear bombs, and the inexplicable shift from democratic socialism to nationalist socialism (most don’t understand the difference thanks to the GOP) under Obama, forms the underlying narrative of this story. You’ll need to read and experience the chaos and creativity first hand. Or not. After all, Obama admits that his wiping out the elderly, playing into the tropes from the far right that he is a Nazi, with his death squads made it much harder to demonize any particular group, which supremacists need to thrive.
Promoting this sort of stuff, while in character, must be hard, even on Twitter.
How has that studying for twenty years to debate idiots worked out so far?
Q P Quaddle, one role played up until 2018, ended after a theatrical run of at least five years.
The breadcrumbs on this lost account, despite the account being around for likely five years, was scant. Four shoutouts, two probably in error with the other two from the same person about an event they were both planning on attending was very very odd for a suspended account. The account handle matches an email address given on one of Liend’s blog’s site.
The next associated account that came up was his former personal account, also suspended.
So too was the real world actor. This time losing his account around March 2021, after a July 13, 2009 creation.
Reference material still existed during this search, to show that this account is the same individual.
This account at least had some old broken threads with tag ins to look at. Most of his conversations appeared to be full of normal stuff, jokes, some politics, and likely trolling of right wing political figures. I found only one instance that indicated a short term suspension was given based on two responses to it, shown below responding to a very well known bovine that even Devin Nunes couldn’t unmask.
File the Cow away for later. This, whatever was said, was likely worthy of a time out, as his account was reactivated later, and appears to have followed the rules until whatever later happened, March 2021.
Another indication this or that or both tweets resulted in a time out for Liend.
There was a possible third suspended account he may have held, referenced to as Dr. Quaddle in one tweet responding to himself that I could not quite pin down and reliably find.
Let’s get to the other two accounts associated with Liend, both presently active, all shown within a single retweet acknowledging the connection between each other.
Liend, a Democrat who ran in 2020 for state Legislature, and who is running again in 2022, needs your support.
Liend in an emailed response contained below, claimed to be leveraging the creation of the Agent Q persona as part of his political campaign. Strange for a Democrat. His first run he ran unopposed as did the Republican incumbent so going after the conspiracy believing voting block on the right, seems difficult to pull off. Perhaps he can, as his more than 37% of the vote showing last time could narrow that gap with adequate vote defections switching teams.
Here is his main account, using a header cartoon of Q from the popular Star Trek the Next Generation show and currently a very nice faceless cosmic entity for his profile.
Liend’s Q is a separate fictional character than the other more popular later created Mike Flynn’s Q.
I reached out to Liend via a contact me, filling out a form listed on one of his blogs that had well over a quarter-million page views at the time of this writing.
I asked about his Agent Q character and the seemingly interesting association to Q Anon, to which he responded with the same chart as this one he had posted last week on Twitter, with a short response about looking into litigating copyright infringement, but having not yet found someone to represent him.
A very unsurprising Mike Rothschild retweet.
Here is his first full response.
The creator of 8Kun/8Chan, the white nationalist website that hosted QAnon and other full-blown Nazi level hate speech after 4-Chan wasn’t vile enough, is Fredrick Brennan. I asked Liend if he also spoke or tried to speak with Flynn, Jim or Ron Watkins, or Mike Rothschild, and if he associates with or tried to with Brennan. His response:
“No. If I were to name individuals in any copyright/IP claims it would likely be Paul Furber, Ron Watkins, Jim Watkins, Roger Stone, Lynn Wood, and Michael Flynn.”
Fair enough.
I then asked a more pointed question, did he try speaking to Mike Rothschild.
No response.
Why did this particular actor catch my attention? It has to do with both his books written starring Q, first published in 2009, and secondly his work beginning in 2020 represented an apparent schismatic shift in tone with more of his character being front and center, and Jeremiah Liend being pushed into the background. To a degree it also has to do with “Tom Portnoy” who asked me to branch out, giving me the idea to look into accounts like this one that I blocked back in February preparing for the third exchange with Susan. So what did I learn?
Here is his first post running the much more familiar Church of Q account back on August 14, 2020.
Liend’s Church of Q, as a business, was founded/incorporated in 2020, a month after this tweet, hence the context of this his newest account’s creation purpose.
Twitter Verified needs work. Lots of work. Liend technically should be verified as he is running for state office.
Keep in mind that this man, a respectable actor, writer and politician, is with this account playing a part, to promote his books, his business and his articles. While his scripted diatribes I am here posting are, if you think he wasn’t an actor, very crazy sounding, I am emphasizing he uses this account playing a role, and almost never breaking character.
He is sane.
Remember he is acting, mostly, as that is the context of what he is doing, with just a few breaks in character, promoting his work. Here is a clip of his playing that role, noting he uses links to his literary or theatrical work each time.
But to what other purpose is this playwright plying his wares forthright into the known and unknown Twitterverse? He states he is doing so for his election campaign, which given his scant follower account (20 following, 67 follows) with his 2020 election twitter account doesn’t make sense. Instead he has built up quite a following among the who is who of bad actors, many of whom have shown up previously in my reporting.
Let’s start with some of his fellow actors who share the stage.
Given via screenshot of someone who still has an active account. H/T to them. U know who U R.
One name on this first list, mcpasteface, just got off a suspension this past weekend and promptly locked their account. I likely blocked most of these accounts save Gaslit Ratbrain whom I don’t remember seeing or interacting with, as they all have shown up in logs connected to the KassandraSeven operation. Here are some more, but not even close to all of them.
Roughly seventy accounts operating within the KassandraSeven operation or its similar PsyOp tributaries, are following Liend’s Church of Q account. Most of his interactions with accounts running PsyOps are on the periphery, with he responding to, in full character, but rarely getting an interaction back. That generally makes his account an amplifier. Is he or isn’t he part of the group?
Several interactions to known Q Anons and KassandraSeven flunkies are given below for added context.
Brennan is a gatekeeper, trying to project blame on Watkins and away from himself and Flynn.
Shout out to codemonkeyz, Ron Watkins handle, one of Mike Flynn’s designated drivers for Q
Mike Flynn, the chief architect of QAnon, no longer even hides what he is doing to attack America.
Tyler M, a single purpose hate account, follows Liend
Liend follows Rothschild, because of course he does.
Trauma. For all of us.
Toilet talk. 4 Seasons Landscaping was likely an intentional choice, to flood the zone with nonsense burying other more potent stories that came out that day. The media falls for that every time. Reliably.
The merging of Liend’s work and Flynn’s narrative used to build fifth columns begins to come into view. There is a reason this guy’s blog has amassed over a quarter million page views. Some of his work has been likely pulled into the collection of conspiracies that make up the fabric of Q Anon.
Mike gives apparent advice about how he himself built his blog and books. I honestly haven’t encountered or heard of the majority of them, which casts major doubt on his level of expertise in his stated field of exposing disinformation, when he is more likely a disinformation mule.
Mike has some humor.
Liend has better humor.
Karma, Mike, GiveThonks and Liend discuss piss.
Jared L. Holt deletes stuff.
Liend is an amplifier, though he attempts often to be a promoter in the lower disinformation map.
Stay out of Crypto. Seriously.
Karma is the second account he is most interactive with behind Mike Rothschild.
Again, with Ron Watkins tagged.
Tagging Ron.
Let’s go back to one of those images, paired with Liend’s claim.
The network which he attached himself to, the BlueAnon, with debunkers operating as anti-promoters, is instead amplifying and muddying the waters in its efforts to help set an informational narrative. His connectivity to the group at first appears to be only to amplify what the others are doing, while portraying himself as Agent Q, rarely breaking character. He does break character a bit when he goes on the attack. He prefers shadows.
This company predates his first Agent Q book, which was essentially his pulling together several smaller plays.
I can hear those in the KassandraSeven network thinking, is that all Jarvis has? Nope. Unlike them, who lie and misrepresent stuff to con and bully people, I have plenty more.
Did Liend, a public figure running again for political office, participate and then forget to delete the evidence in the inauthentically generated harassment campaigns against Jim Stewartson or myself as part of the KassandraSeven criminal conspiracy?
Twitter needs an edit button, but also needs to preserve bad tweets under a label instead of deletion as that allows crime to actively be commissioned then removed from their platform.
Receipts.
This was the juncture that the network flipped on the all-in switch to try and stop Jim Stewartson’s work. Liend was engaged in harassment, shown below in conjunction with other operatives, for more than a year targeting Jim Stewartson, and then me. Keep in mind this is what he left behind and didn’t delete.
Susan, like Liend, lists herself off of Twitter as an author and actor.
Ignore the first tweet mostly, save he amplifies Karma. This group often deploys mental illness, unwell, and other power phrases to psychologically attack & break down their targets. Note who he was responding to.
Sue wasn’t with the dog. That was the main point both I and Stewartson have different ways of explaining. She lied. No need whatsoever for her to create and post a misleading image when she was known to be out of the country, burning through a likely bonus for her work criminally harassing others.
The purpose of my publishing the book was to inform members of Congress in a published form why Trump lacked the competency to hold public office. When his impeachment shifted instead to his blackmailing and attempted bribery over Ukraine, I was ultimately no longer required to testify.
Another attempt to cause others to self-harm or commit suicide via the mental health association.
When an account has two handles, and states its a single purpose hate account, it should be banned.
Handgun?
Joining in on the harassment network involving Jan, Mike, TylerM began just after the account’s creation
No, Hume isn’t Jim. Nice try. Note Liend blames Flynn for pulling a Luther Blissett. That is a rabbit hole, yet shows Liend’s annoyance that Flynn has incorporated some of his literary work into Q Anon.
Common form for the group, bragging after a successful op. Liend has multiple Blogs, one that has had significant traction thanks in part to his LARPing and associations with Q. Check out his smaller one on Medium, under Q. P. Quaddle.
Typical cyclical attacks these operatives deploy, conversing with themselves generating impressions. Followers sometimes unwittingly are pulled in, as they see the conversations appear in their feeds. And no, only Tyler M is claiming multiple lies about what Jim said. That is his account’s stated purpose, attacking Jim.
TheComposer13 is a suspended account. TS was likely a typo, supposed to be instead JS.
More generalized harassment from Jan, Mike, Tyler and Liend, from a full year ago. Twitter is liable when they platform single purpose hate accounts, ignore frequent reports of abuse and suspend instead their targets
Over time it becomes easier to compile and document who is doing what to harm America. The Ops hardly hide themselves, with those who make critically bad mistakes exposing themselves, like Sue.
And joining harassment with Fred Brennan, whom Liend frequently interacted with.
And again.
Not sure who this target was. The tweet was likely missed during deletion clean up rounds.
Most of all though, Liend is involved either intentionally or unintentionally in gatekeeping work along with the rest of these operatives, deflecting attention away from General Mike Flynn and depositing it instead on primarily Ron Watkins who is merely the codemonkeyz punching in the code for the boss. Here he is with Fredrick Brennan, who had operative control of Q Drops until a schism with Ron and Jim caused him to flee the Philippines to avoid prosecution, losing 8Chan/8Kun in the process.
If the Watkins have total control regarding Q, Brennan did too.
And Fred, while suspended, remained on Twitter using a sock account.
The only thing that matters is that Mike Flynn is the head of the QAnon PsyOp. Rounding up the Watkins, Brennan and others involved in platforming or building the disinformation machine, is needed, but not as much as arresting Mike Flynn. Arrest Mike Flynn.
Until disinformation networks are taken down by Twitter, it will always be a prime target for informational warfare operations similar to the KassandraSeven one, causing harm, pushing conspiracies, and gatekeeping to protect sources from further scrutiny.
In a nutshell, Liend explains Twitter’s role: make/expand lists/spread hate.
We’ll end with that, a weird ride.
