This is one of the most insane books that i have read and i read a lot of far-out-there -books. I seriously think that some of the writers are mentally ill and it is not just because i don´t like the ideas presented in this book, but because they do not make logical sense and are written in a style that resembles a children's style of writing. It is written in a language so simple that even popular science books written for lay people seem highly academic compared to this. And i have to note that English is not even my second language!
Imagined events in this book are narratively speaking structured like a secret agent story of a very cheap pulp novel or even a children's cartoon. It is incredible the total lack of knowledge about real world events and even the background of people described in it, but still the writers are very confident that they "know" much more that anybody else.
This book is like the caricature of what a conspiracy literature is: full of details that are connected with the most tenuous evidence or not even evidence at all, just pure fabulation. The most interesting argument of connection between things is that things that sound similar to another things must be connected somehow, and there fore a conspiracy is "proven"!
But i got hard laugh when this book had an entire chapter about Nazi UFO´s from Antarctica!

Provides some excellent insight into the minds of QAnon-ers.
Really enjoyable read (in my opinion).

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film, at 1:19:01 there's thunder in the distance and Hagrid says, "It's changing out there, just like last time. There's a storm coming Harry, we'd all best be ready when she does."
A few minutes later the character Seamus comes to Harry and says that he no longer believes the lies of the Daily Prophet and that he believes Harry that Voldemort has returned.
The Storm Hagrid is referring to is THE Storm. When Hollywood, and the Democrats will be dragged forth and their crimes will be exposed. When innocent children will finally be safe from their Satanic clutches. "We'd all best be ready." He's talking to anons, he's talking to US and we WILL be ready.
Seamus is a representation of someone who's been awakened...just before the storm. He no longer believes the lies of the Daily Prophet (fake news Main stream media) and he's apologizing to Harry Potter the boy with the scar on his head. In 2018 the fake news media was trying to perform hit pieces on Donald Trump claiming that he had a hair transplant and circling a scar in multiple images as proof. A scar on his head. Coincidence? I think not.
Still need further proof? Remember the time stamp of Hagrid's quote is 1:19:01.
19 -1 - 1 = 17!
Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet!
🤯🤯😱😱😱🤯🤯
That is the type of "logic" that is employed throughout this book. The main thing The Great Awakening demonstrates is the types of mental leaps you can accomplish when you desperately want something to be true and the logical conclusion to the toxic rhetoric being spewed by the Left and the Right against each other.
Never does this book actually prove with tangible evidence the outlandish claims it makes about Democrats and Hollywood being evil satanic child traffickers. It's just leap of faith after leap of faith mixed with coincidences, lies of omission, and a fervent tribalistic hatred of one side of the political spectrum against another. We are told multiple times to "Do our own research" and "Question everything" however never does the obvious question of "Is Q trustworthy" ever come up from any of the author's because they WANT Liberals to be horrible people because that's what their party pundits have been telling them for over a decade. My prediction is that in 10 or 20 years we'll be here again with another book of inflammatory content and similar quality of evidence only it will be peddled by the Left against the Right because the hate pendulum always swings back the other way.
The only interesting thing is that about 2 months after I purchased this book it became banned from most mainstream sellers like Amazon, and Barnes and noble. So I now own my first banned book and I think that's kind of cool.

Damn, I have a lot to say about this one.
As far as shitlit goes, QAnon nonsense is the gold standard. This book is a treasure trove of hilarious chapters written by contributors who clearly weren't communicating with each other, and every chapter one reads demonstrates less self-awareness than the last. An Invitation to the Great Awakening is much like the film "The Room;" created with the best intentions by serious people who ended up the punchline of a joke they weren't even in on.
The right-wing habit of confusing the effects of capitalism for "corporate communism," or something akin, is a common meme at this point. It makes its mandatory appearance in the intro with this observation: "Angry citizens tired of being poor are a major obstacle and can revolt if they suffer enough... We are not happy being ruled by criminals and having to work 3 jobs just to survive." Occam's Razor has no qualms with this, apparently. Obviously the leftist cabal of international pedivorous (or pedovorous?) Satanists have invaded the workplace to leech off the working class.
The narrative goes that some government agent or other, with a "Q level clearance," took to 4chan to expose the aforementioned cabal using incoherent, fragmented sentences that might resemble coded language if you squint hard enough while drunk. Q, which is what they call this guy, is (or was) close to President Trump and we know this because sometimes Q, who posted thousands of times, occasionally posted something similar to something posted mere minutes later by Trump, who also posted thousands of times. Grand moments like this are called "Q proofs" because it clears the doubt from the air and makes some idiots feel as though they're in-the-know on matters of existential importance the rest of us are too blind or stupid to see. What they're in-the-know about is "The Plan," which involves Trump arresting "The Swamp" and publicly executing them at Guantanamo Bay. They deserve death because they kidnap children and torture them to death to produce "adrenochrome," which they consume in occult ceremonies to prolong their own lives and reinvigorate their flaccid, geriatric bodies.
The alternative, you see, would be that Trump talked a big game and didn't deliver. But that's unthinkable, so Q is helping us all to see that Trump actually did accomplish everything he set out to do. He just did it secretly, and the "Mockingbird Fake News Media" won't acknowledge it because they're owned by the cabal. Even if you're only somewhat familiar with conspiracy theories, you likely find the narrative about the media being a single, unified entity owned by a nefarious group somewhat... familiar. Here's something else that's probably familiar:
"The perpetrators are Luciferians and Satan-worshippers. They run pedophile networks across continents, through the Vatican, and underneath the cover of charities and child protective services. In short, they target and infiltrate any organization that puts them closest to their victims."
Yep. The Satanic Panic is alive and well in the Qniverse.
A comparatively minor Qanon belief is that the cabal cannot help but demonstrate their superiority through convoluted symbols hidden in plain sight and as indecipherable as Q's own shitposts. Multiple authors within this book accuse Hollywood of mocking the rest of us by the careful placement of subliminal messages. But this, according to the true believer, is actually a good thing. "Their symbolism will be their downfall" is a commonly regurgitated phrase Q apparently used once or twice on this exact topic. So in addition to being the most well organized conspiracy in the history of the world, and the only one to reach global scale, the cabal is also either too bold or too stupid to avoid giving away their entire plan as a matter of habit.
But, let's be less granular about this. What, exactly is the big takeaway from this hodgepodge of Qanon-related contributions? Well, it's that you're right about everything most of the time. That's correct - if you've ever watched something happen on Planet Earth and thought to yourself "that's damn strange," you're actually seeing the painstakingly careful choreography of pure evil. They might as well control the weather. If something bad happens, "they" did it. If a mass shooter murders 20 people at the mall, "they" organized a false flag attack to make conservative gun owners look unhinged. When Trump misspells words, it's actually a SECRET MESSAGE just waiting on an intelligent hero as clever as yourself to decode it.
Whatever the most obvious answer is, it is *never* that. It's enough to make Occam cry.
We take a lot of people's words for things. We're never actually present at the big events we read about on the news. Most of us aren't, anyway, because we have other places to be. How do we know with any certainty it isn't all just made up? That's the question Qanon exploits by answering it outright: you don't. You don't know. And if you're sheltered and antisocial, with no real experience with a diverse crowd of fellow humans, the answer "'they' did it" might make sense to you. Never mind how hard it is for even a few people to keep a secret, or all the prisoners' dilemmas you will encounter along the way, or how impractical it all is. No, Qanon can see through the bullshit.
The world can be a scary place. It's a "kill or be killed" situation for most biological organisms, and even for many of our fellow humans. You can survive a mass shooting, only to be killed by a hurricane. You can survive a hurricane too, only to be killed by cancer. All the while, you're too smart for your own good but still can't seem to get any answers regarding what life is all about. While you're waiting for someone to answer that for you, your spouse might leave you or your life's savings could be stolen. Your house could burn down, you could crash your car, or you could be taking a walk and be made paraplegic by a falling tree limb. We could have another Great Depression, and we don't know that there won't be a Third World War any day now, or that we won't render our own planet uninhabitable by shitting microplastics into the ocean until we can stack the Atlantic on the Pacific like a Lego brick... but what we CAN do is become chronically addicted to the wifi, insert ourselves with confidence into a little echo chamber that makes sense of it all, and "do our own research" until we realize everything is actually okay because "'they' did it," and "they" is an enemy that can actually be defeated. They breathe the same air we do, after all.
If you find yourself on the verge of a panic attack every time you realize that nobody is in control and the universe is governed by chaos alone, take a moment to remind yourself that Patriots are in control and all of your problems are someone else's fault, and with God on your side and Q on Trump's side, all will be made right any day now.
That's a better solution, for some people, than facing the chaos head-on. In a world in which nothing matters, you might as well take the Red Pill. As you sink further and further into your fantasy of Hillary Clinton getting executed on live television, and Jesus coming down from heaven to give Donald Trump a handjob, your family might find you less and less approachable until they stop calling altogether and you get fired for accusing your boss of eating children. But that's just what happens when you're brave enough to tell the truth about everything all the time.
It's never oneself who has developed an allergy to rationality - it's just the wider world and the evil cabal that runs it demonstrating how irritated they are that you refuse to be anything other than a red-blooded American Patriot. THAT'S why you don't have any friends. Imagine how triggered they'll be when you're all alone in your studio apartment scanning 8chan for clues about the superbowl being rigged by Taylor Swift to get Biden re-elected, day after day, month after month, waiting for Donald Trump to reveal that he's secretly been your President all along and he's running for a 3rd term with Jesus himself as his running mate. You're not slowly sinking into madness - you're winning. And you're winning so much, you're getting tired of it.

Who or what is Q and the Qanon movement? Is it an individual? A collective body? Is the book fact or fiction? Conspiracy theory? It for sure is one wild ride to hear about it and then to buy this book to try to help decipher all the questions.
It surrounds the years of the 45th President’s time in office, uncovering and naming names of corrupt groups and individuals in all walks of life that have been with us for years worldwide. Corruption includes such things as human trafficking, pedophilia, compromised government agencies, etc. The purpose of these corrupt ones is world domination. Q and Qanons (followers), sometimes speaking in code, post messages for all to see and to try to decipher as to their meanings.
Written by a number of contributors from all walks of life from leaders, military, ordinary folks who are privy to hidden intel, we are challenged to seek the truth for ourselves to verify the information given. You will find footnotes, a Table of Contents, Call to Action, and Glossary included.
In the meantime, we will just have to wait and see how things shake out on world change if and when the corrupt are brought to justice. The tag line is, "Where we go 1 we go all," or more simply WWG1WGA.

Relevant for today.
QAnon: An Invitation to the Great Awakening is a reference book written by multiple authors like a reference book, offering a deep dive into the QAnon conspiracy theory and its ideology. The book provides fresh perspectives and new coverage on the topic, including a detailed look at Donald Trump's first term as POTUS and the fake news narratives that the "deep state" allegedly pushed about him. Thus, the book contributes fresh perspectives and new coverage on the alleged main players of the world, making it a unique resource for those interested in understanding the movement and its contexts. The text can be repetitive at times and many of the images have small text that can be impossible to read and making it less user-friendly, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the book's comprehensive approach to a subject relevant to the world makes it a valuable read. I give it 4 stars for newness of coverage, and 1 star taken off for repetition and small text in images.

It’s unfortunate that a tree had to die to make this book. Even worse that people believe in it. It was somehow even more stupid than I was expecting!

was hoping for lots of crazy conspiracy theories but it was pretty boring for the most part. definitely helpful for my conspiracy theory paper on why people are attracted to qanon
