I am publishing my response in full below for you to read. Enjoy!
From Business Insider
Hi Andrew.
This is Yelena with Business Insider. I hope you're doing well.
We're researching a story that will list some of the most notable people who have supported the QAnon movement, publicized its conspiracy theories, or given it's activists a platform to spread their fictitious stories. Your name will appear in the story. We are contacting you to offer a chance to comment. The purpose of the story is to identify the people behind QAnon who have been most publicly visible in promoting QAnon, and extending its influence online and inside the Republican Party.
You will be included in this article because you welcomed QAnon accounts to move over to Gab after Facebook's ban of "Q" content.
Please let us know if you'd like to make a statement prior to publication. We would appreciate a response within the next 7 days.

Yelena,
Thank you for reaching out to me for comment. I’m writing a story in response to your upcoming story and will be publishing it immediately on the Media Transparency section of the Gab News blog, which is emailed to millions of people daily. Your request along with my response below will be included, as is standard with all of Gab’s engagements with the legacy press.
Gab has had members of the QAnon community on our platform for several years now, but to be honest I never paid much attention to them because they have always been respectful people who follow Gab’s user guidelines and US law.
My attention was immediately drawn to them once the legacy press
started to smear the QAnon community and especially after Silicon Valley
platforms censored and deplatformed groups, individuals, and networks
of people who even mention Q or any of the various important topics that
the community researches and discusses.
I can’t say that I’ve
ever seen any “conspiracy theories” from the QAnon community. In fact,
I’ve seen a refreshing and objective flow of information being surfaced
by a decentralized community of millions of people who are researching
and reporting on news that so-called “journalists” refuse to cover.
The
oligarchs in power are most certainly wicked and corrupt people by any
measure of morality, but the Epstein saga over the past few years has
revealed the depth of this wickedness to general public and the QAnon
community played a big role in distributing that information to the
masses. I’m not sure how this can be considered a “conspiracy theory”
when it has been widely reported, even begrudgingly, by the legacy
press.
Perhaps it is you who are the conspiracy theorists.
After
all, the legacy media has propagated endless conspiracy theories over
the years including the “weapons of mass destruction hoax” and the
“Russian hoax” that is still peddled to this day.
As a Christian
I believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant for evil. It seems to
me that the legacy press, in coordination with Silicon Valley tech
platforms, are working to sweep the wickedness of people like Epstein
and those associated with him under the rug through the use of
censorship, coordinated smear campaigns, and by destroying the lives of
decent people who are seeking the truth.
The QAnon community is
much bigger than an alleged anonymous government insider making posts on
an image board. That part may or may not be true, but I don’t think it
really matters either way.
The QAnon community has less to do
with Q and more to do with a decentralized new media network that
surfaces, distributes, and fact checks information in real time. It is
self-correcting, self-editorializing, and most importantly: it can’t be
stopped.
You can deplatform these people from legacy tech platforms and call
them “racists” and “conspiracy theorists” in the legacy media, but
nothing can stop what has already been started and it will only continue
to grow.
One big reason the legacy media is smearing the QAnon
community is because these folks are in direct competition with the
legacy media’s power structure and control over the flow of information
and news.
The other reason is because many in the QAnon
community are Christian and Q often shares Christian themes. The QAnon
community is organizing and uniting Christians across all denominations
of the faith in their search for real news and information about the
corrupt and wicked people in power.
I don’t believe it is a coincidence that the deplatforming and
coordinated smear campaign of the QAnon community started shortly after Q
posted a letter
from archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò on June 29th, 2020 which was
followed by the posting of a prayer mentioning Jesus by name as Lord on
September 20th, 2020.
Ultimately what the anti-Christian
legacy press and the wicked oligarchs in power fear the most is
Christians coordinating and unifying on the internet. When this
happens they know that their evil will be exposed and their names will
be named outside of the oligarch-controlled media and technology echo
chambers. It’s the same reason they are working so hard to keep us out of our churches with these bogus lockdowns.
From
my perspective The Great Awakening is about millions of people waking
up to the lies they have been fed by their governments, the legacy
media, the entertainment industry, Big Tech companies, the education
system, and more for over a century.
Based on what I have observed for the past several months, the core
philosophy of the QAnon community is to be inherently skeptical of what
legacy media elites report, conduct your own research, and share the
truth far and wide.
I see nothing wrong with this and we gladly welcome it on Gab.com.
