Exactly one year ago today, OR Books published my eighth book, OPERATION MINDFUCK: QANON & THE CULT OF DONALD TRUMP. Feel free to celebrate this occasion by purchasing multiple copies for ultra-conservative members of your family. Do you have left-leaning friends or family members who are justifiably confused by the strange and paradoxical fact that multiplying indictments against former President Trump seem to be fueling his soaring poll numbers? (Here's a choice quote from a recent CNN report: "Trump is the first choice of 53% Republican and Republican-leaning voters in the primary, roughly doubling DeSantis’ 26%"). So what's really behind all this jabberwocky? OPERATION MINDFUCK will help clear up your bewilderment! MAKE AMERICA GUFFEY AGAIN!!! You can hear me discuss the book (and all its ominous implications) with Marc Maron on the latest episode of the WTF Podcast!

“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
