Save The Children: How QAnon Co-Opted a Human Trafficking Campaign
1.
For the past few weeks #SaveTheChildren has been one of the most active QAnon Ops, spreading like wildfire across the Internet. The hashtag has also been accompanied by #SaveOurChildren and blends the lines between real social media outreach and QAnon dog whistling. For example, some well meaning people, with public personas have begun posting QAnon garbage. Social media influencer Helen Owen, is among them and the other day shared an innocent looking post, asking her followers to help "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves". A man behind her holding her mouth shut, with "800,000" written in tape across his mouth, a subtle nod to Q. Now, we don't know if they are fulling "Cabal Pedo Researchers", but the greater problem here is most people sharing the #SaveTheChildren hashtag, are not actually interested in "saving children", but rather spreading their QAnon cultist daydreams.

Facebook temporarily blocked the #SaveTheChildren hashtag, because the it “was surfacing low-quality content,” a Facebook spokesperson told the Rolling Stone. The hashtag has since been restored, but this didn't stop Q-culters from brigading the Save The Children Twitter page, with claims that they're a fake organization who doesn't care about the children.

So when the real, hundred-year-old non-profit organization that just happens to be named Save The Children, posted about people online co-opting their name, QAnoners went after them. By now you should know that followers of Q are a particularly special group of people, but the screenshots you are about to see are not altered, though the brains of the posters have been severely. Imagine accusing an organization that has helped save children from poverty, hunger, war and human trafficking, of "not caring about children" and "making it about themselves." Of course not, that would be crazy.
