Looking for the perfect X-Mas gift for those lovable but deranged political junkies in your life? Why not buy them two or three or four copies of my latest book, OPERATION MINDFUCK: QANON & THE CULT OF DONALD TRUMP? In light of Trump's announcement to run for president in 2024 and the blatant QAnon connections to both the recent attack on Paul Pelosi and the plot to overthrow Germany's government, OPERATION MINDFUCK is even more relevant now than when it was first published back in July.
A recent Amazon reviewer described the book as "one of the most important documents available to arm yourself with knowledge for the culture war" and "a tool and weapon to fight the dangerous cult of ignorance and fear," a perceptive assessment that highlights the multiple utilities of OPERATION MINDFUCK. Your left-wing friends can view this book as a useful tool while your right-wing friends can have a delightful time hate-reading it before posting bewildered and nasty comments about me on social media. For example, one very confused correspondent recently posted this question on Twitter:
Eh? Does this "Harrison" chap think that my audience consists primarily of Trump supporters? If so, how did he get that idea into his noggin? Who the hell knows? It's getting very close to Christmas, and people tend to get a little loopy around this time of the year. So, to alleviate your stress regarding what present you intend on buying your most irascible acquaintances, allow me to relieve you of this most difficult decision and urge you to invest in the gift that never stops giving: a darkly humorous political manifesto about the loopiest political cult to emerge from Terran soil in the 21st century. In the wise words of the late science fiction writer, Robert Sheckley, "It's a strange world filled with odd-shaped folk." That sentiment was never more evident than in the pages of OPERATION MINDFUCK! So order a copy (or more) TODAY!
HO HO HO! HAPPY HOLIDAZE, EVERYBODY!!!
PRAISE FOR OPERATION MINDFUCK:
“Voltaire
suggested that those who can make us believe absurdities can make us
commit atrocities, and QAnon provided the practical demonstration.
Robert Guffey’s razor-sharp postings illuminate how a collage of Shaver
mysteries, Discordian prankster politics and recreational conspiracy
theory played out as dissociative American fugue. Jaw-dropping and
essential.”
—Alan Moore, author of V FOR VENDETTA and WATCHMEN
“One of the most difficult aspects of confronting QAnon conspiracism is finding the time and resolve to delve into its ever-expanding network of self-reinforcing connections and concepts. Robert Guffey does that work for you in OPERATION MINDFUCK, a codex to madness and a critical examination of how a massive fraction of our culture has imbibed a counter-reality. Guffey also explores underground sources lost on many mainstream historians, bringing us into an (occasionally ingenious) netherworld of outsider thought forms. Guffey is the Ernest Shackleton of paranoia—and one hopes his journey will result in a happier ending.”
—Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of OCCULT AMERICA and UNCERTAIN PLACES
"It's practically a guide to your character to discover whether you find this expose of possibly the stupidest political movement in human history funny, alarming, or infuriating.... Highly recommended."
—Richard Smoley, author of SUPERNATURAL: WRITINGS ON AN UNKNOWN HISTORY and HOW GOD BECAME GOD
“OPERATION MINDFUCK: QANON & THE CULT OF DONALD TRUMP by Robert Guffey tackles the conspiracy theories Q draws from, the history of the Q phenomenon, and the eventual attempts by mobs at least partially influenced by Q, and certainly influenced by Donald Trump, to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. The book is well-researched, with a full Bibliography of notes that reference and identify each quote from each source that Guffey cites. Guffey, additionally, has a long background studying conspiracy theories and their origins [...]. Guffey is not a lightweight.”
—Steve Henn, author of AND GOD SAID LET THERE BE EVOLUTION
“Whether QAnon is a religion, a cult, a joke, a political movement, or just an online game gone awry, Robert Guffey‘s OPERATION MINDFUCK: QANON & THE CULT OF DONALD TRUMP (OR Books, 2022) is his attempt to figure it all out. Guffey’s pedigree in this area is unmatched [...]. Throughout OPERATION MINDFUCK, Guffey follows Theodore Sturgeon’s advice he quoted in his book CHAMELEO (OR Books, 2015): 'Always ask the next question.'”
—Roy Christopher, author of DEAD PRECEDENTS: HOW HIP-HOP DEFINES THE FUTURE
