1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Q and On is the world's largest online political conspiracy movement.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Followers believe someone code named Q is provided them with

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: secret information from inside the White House. No one really

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: knows the real identity of Q, though we aim to

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: change that. I'm Jake Hanrahan and this is Q Clearance,

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: a podcast series aimed at unmasking the true identity of Q.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: This is brought to you by IR Radio and Q

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Daytaur Media. Last episode, we built the final part of

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: our case that shows very strongly that the Watkins family

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: are currently in control of the Q and On account.

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: In this final episode, will be reviewing all the information

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: that we've learned along the way and looking at how

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: we can maybe help to understand and perhaps stop the

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: spread of life consuming conspiracy theories like Q and On. Firstly, though,

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: I just want to thank everyone that's been listening. We've

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: had an excellent reception to Q Clearance. I am very

17
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: happy that you have found this useful. Thank you very much. Now,

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: many many people have got in contact with me since

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: the series launched. Some just say, oh wow, I didn't

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: know how deep Q and On was. Some have thanked

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: me for explaining the details of the theory. But many

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: have reached out to say how their families have been

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: tipped upside down by relatives who have let Q and

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: On take over their whole lives. This might sound dramatic,

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: but there are hundreds, probably thousands of people all over

26
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: the US and the rest of the world who have

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: family members that believe they're evil or somehow their enemy

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: because they question Q. It's a real problem, and like

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Sarah Hyatt Tower said in episode one, Q and On

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: is looking more and more like a cult. Speaking of messages,

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: one of the more interesting ones that I got Joe

32
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: yesterday came from a man who claims to have known

33
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Paul Furber for decades. If you remember, Paul Furber is

34
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: who we think first had control of the Q and

35
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: on account and made it popular as it moved over

36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: from four Chan to h Chan. This guy who messaged

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: me he wants to remain anonymous, will call him Jack.

38
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: He messaged me saying he'd listened to Q Clearance and

39
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: he was shocked to hear Paul Furber's name. He showed

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: me evidence that proved he was, in fact an old

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: acquaintance of Furber's, quite a bit closer than an acquaintance

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: actually in some ways, but I don't want to say

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: too much. This guy Jack said something to me very

44
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: interesting whilst we had a conversation. He said, quote, do

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: I think Paul Furber could have been q and On?

46
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely the manner of speech and writing fit him. I

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: believe end quote. Remember this guy has known Paul Furber

48
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: for decades. He proved it to me. Jack then went

49
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: on to say that Paul Furber is a very smart guy,

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: but has long been diagnosed with a serious mental health issue.

51
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: He said he thinks Furber is deteriorating at the moment.

52
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: He also said that Paul has always been a Christian fundamentalist,

53
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: which would certainly add up with some of the hard

54
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: line Christian que drops that were posted on a Chan. Now,

55
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: if you look at Furber's bizarre tweets in his one

56
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: man failed mission to make Big Dick and On relevant,

57
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely a possibility that he has been

58
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: having issues with his mental health for a while. I'm

59
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: not saying that to take the Pierce. It's genuinely quite

60
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: clear that this is going on, and it's not good.

61
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: This is one of the saddest parts of long drawn

62
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: out conspiracy movements. Like Q and On, it not only

63
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: attracts griff as and con men, but also sweeps up

64
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: the mentally ill or It makes those already fragile in

65
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: that respect slip down a dangerous rabbit hole of hoaxes. Anyway,

66
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: Q Clearance final episode, let's recap it all. If you

67
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: cast your mind back nine weeks ago to episode one,

68
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: you'll remember that's when we first laid out what Q

69
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: and On actually is and what the people that follow

70
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: it believing. Let's go over it again so we can

71
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: start connecting this Q Clearance map of hours from start

72
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: to finish in one place. So, as we discussed in

73
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: episode one, if anyone asks you what Q and On is,

74
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: you can completely free them out by saying the following.

75
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: Q is a decentralized global conspiracy theory movement that believes

76
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: a man with a special government clearance in a mirror

77
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: car is posting secret information from the White House. This

78
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: guy is known as Q. Q is doing this by

79
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: posting the supposed government information on an image board website

80
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: that allows pedophiles and Nazi terror groups that want to

81
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: put an end to America to post openly. Q is

82
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: doing all of this because he claims he's a true

83
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: American patriot and that his mission is to stop a

84
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: deep state cabal of pedophiles within the Democrat Party and

85
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: the so called mainstream liberal media. He needs to stop

86
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: them launching a silent coup data against Trump, who is

87
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: also in on the act under the code name Q plus.

88
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: It's absolutely unbelievably ridiculous. Why would an anti pedophile American

89
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: patriot with a Q clearance post secret information on an

90
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: image board where pedophile piles are allowed to roam free

91
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: and neo Nazis are allowed to talk about how much

92
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: they want to launch terror attacks to bring America to

93
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: its needs. It makes no sense. Not only that, why

94
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: would he choose to form this global digital army when

95
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Q could just get anyone planning a U S cop

96
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: arrested immediately if he had the evidence he claims to.

97
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: If someone has a Q clearance, they're certainly trusted by

98
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: the government on some level above your average citizen. I

99
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: don't think it would be hard for Q to get

100
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: the authorities to take his evidence seriously if he had any.

101
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: What's more, again, if Q was real, why the funk

102
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: did Donald Trump lose the election recently? Well as we

103
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: know by now Q and On followers have an answer

104
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: for everything. But just keep in mind that these are

105
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: completely fair and logical questions for anyone you encounter that

106
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: might be Q and On curious. In fact, I have

107
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: met people that are kind of interested in Q and

108
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: they think there might be something behind it, And before

109
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: they get too deep into it, I've said to them, Hey,

110
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: why would a guy that wants to stop pedophiles post

111
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: on an image board that allows pedophiles. H Chan, for example,

112
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: even had its own board where pedophiles could gather and

113
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: talk about horrific acts of child abuse as if it

114
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: was some kind of war story. Why would somebody like

115
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: Q if he was he he says he is, why

116
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: would he do that? Often this does actually help when

117
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: people go, oh, yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, this is

118
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: actually quite dark. Unfortunately a lot of people disregardless and

119
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: just say, oh, well Q had to use h chan

120
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: and a con because the cabal tried to stop him

121
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: everywhere else. It's ridiculous, but it is the way it is,

122
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: So we know what you and On is. What it

123
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: isn't is a left wing hoax. Remember episode two, That's

124
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: the one where we thoroughly debunked one of the much

125
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: type theories that Q and on is being one by

126
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of leftist hoaxes called the Woming Collective. The

127
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: idea was that they were doing this just to try

128
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: and make mega boomers look stupid. We heard from one

129
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: of the lead members of the Woming Collective ourselves, and

130
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: he was adamant that it wasn't them. None of it

131
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: really added up either. The Woming Collective has always claimed

132
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: to their stunts and hoaxes. No one has ever come

133
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: forward to say, yeah, we're behind Q and on and

134
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: it's definitely run its course. Now before the election would

135
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: have been the time they didn't do it. It's not

136
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: the Wombing Collective. This theory was all just badly researched

137
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: hype from an old BuzzFeed article. The article itself was

138
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: actually built off of a four Chan post that basically said,

139
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: ha ha, we've tripped the right wing boomers with this

140
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: Q and on hoax. Just remember almost never take four

141
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: chance seriously, as the journalist did that wrote that article.

142
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: In episode three, we learned all of out the aforementioned

143
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: Paul Furber. This is when we discovered that he'd likely

144
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: taken over the q and on account after it was

145
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: kicked off of four Chan. Remember, Further was the only

146
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: one that could supposedly verify that when Q posted it

147
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: was the real QUE, a problem that is obviously very

148
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: rife on a completely anonymous image board like four chan

149
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: or h Chan. After this, in episode four, we showed

150
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: how Paul Furber had his Q and on train hijacked.

151
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: That is, we think the Watkins family took the Q

152
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: and on account away from Further. How well, remember Jim

153
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:46,479
Speaker 1: Watkins son Ron Watkins, was the h Chan admin, effectively

154
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: the only person above Paul Furber that could verify that

155
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,119
Speaker 1: Q was in fact Q. He played a big switchero

156
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: on Furber and became Q. Why would he do this, Well,

157
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: the Watkins family needed this train to speed up. The

158
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: more people that came to h and, the better. More

159
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: traffic means more advertisers, which means more money. If the

160
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: Watkins could control the Q narrative, they could better control

161
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: how people engage with it. Therefore, they could bring more

162
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: people to h and to check up on all the drops. Also,

163
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: both the dad and the son are big time MAGA

164
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: fundamentalists who dwell in the darkest part of the Internet

165
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: and mixed themselves amongst conspiracy theorists and petos. It makes

166
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: sense that someone like this would own a Q and

167
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: On and then the US election happened Biden one. As

168
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: we heard in episode four, Q and On's were absolutely

169
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: certain that Trump, their god king, was going to win again.

170
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 1: There was no doubt in their mind. Q and On

171
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: said it will be a Trump landslide. When Trump wasn't reelected,

172
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: many Q and On followers actually took to the Internet

173
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: to state they're discussed and basically said they'd lost their

174
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: faith in Q. Others, though, went the other way. They

175
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: doubled down. It's now largely Q and On followers that

176
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: are pushing the election fraud theory, stating that the Democrats

177
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: stole the election. They don't think that that means it's

178
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: over though, no, Many of them still believe that that

179
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: even that is all part of Que's plan and that

180
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: Trump will sweep in to take the election back and

181
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: send everyone that he needs to send to prison and

182
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: let them rot, and then the plan will be done.

183
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: This theory is gaining weight within their community, especially since

184
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Trump retweeted a Mega News segment that featured Ron Watkins

185
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: as a technical analyst. This is what we spoke about

186
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: in episode six when we stated that we believe the

187
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Watkins family are definitely behind the q and on account currently.

188
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: In episode seven, we made our case for all of this,

189
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: showing the many coincidences between Jim Watkins's online activity and Q.

190
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: We also stuck our heads into the back end and

191
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: showed that h N and A tune are on the

192
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: same server as some of the most prominent Q and

193
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: on websites on the Internet. What a coincidence that leads

194
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: us up to now. Right now, Q has been mostly

195
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: quiet since the election. There's only been a handful of

196
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: Q drops recently, and many Q and ons are clearly

197
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: very worried. They keep coming out with these bombastic statements

198
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: that I think actually show they're realizing something fishy is

199
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: going on. They're protesting a little bit too much, in

200
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: my opinion. For example, one big q and on account

201
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: that has over two thousand followers on Twitter wrote this

202
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: the other day. This is major patriot. He said, quote,

203
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: you are witnessing the greatest intelligence operation in history, military

204
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: precision at its finest end. Quote. He's referring to what

205
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: he thinks is Donald Trump and queue's current plan post election. Now,

206
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong, but the constant doubling down at this

207
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: stage feels like he might be trying to convince himself

208
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: more than anyone else. Of course, he could very well

209
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: believe all of this. That's very possible. Many other Q

210
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: and on's are awarding Trump with a golden medal despite

211
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: the fact he's not done anything yet. None of his

212
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: vote fraud cases are being taken seriously by the courts.

213
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: But either way, the qs think he's doing a great job.

214
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: They think it's genius. Here's another que and on account

215
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: hailing Trump as a military genius. The truth will do,

216
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: says quote, do you understand how long our president has

217
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: been preparing, studying, analyzing. Not only is he a brilliant businessman,

218
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: but at this guy, real, Donald Trump is a military genius.

219
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: I could go on and on, and then he's got

220
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: the two eyes emoji and then it's ten slash two slash.

221
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Obviously this date and the tweet is from John Donald J. Trump.

222
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: It says, the Chinese and our hacking White House computers?

223
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: Why not they already owned the place? They think that

224
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: the hardcore neoliberal democrats of the US. Somehow the same

225
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: as totalitarian communists of the CCP in China. I don't

226
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: know anyway. Another Q and on tweet that shows them

227
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: doubling down is this one by a guy called ntheos. Quote.

228
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: The boss Man has been telegraphing moves all day, the

229
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: boss man being Trump. Hope everyone's listening. No wasted words,

230
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: no wasted tweets. He speaks, It happens hashtag son sue.

231
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: And the tweet that he's quoted here is from Donald Trump,

232
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: again obviously, and it says the invisible enemy will soon

233
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: be in full retreat. Now. When Trump is talking about

234
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: the invisible enemy and stuff like that, it definitely plays

235
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: into the hands of Q and on supporters. That's very

236
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: much the kind of talk that Q and on uses.

237
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: Here is the last, but one of my all time

238
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: favorite Q and on tweets of recent days. It's from

239
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: a guy called d o q Doc. It says, quote,

240
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: if there was a man who was persecuted more than

241
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: Trump has been in outside of Jesus Christ, who is

242
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: that man? They killed Jesus and he was perfect. Don't

243
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: think for a second they aren't going to try and

244
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: kill you and me. End quote, And the reply is

245
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: jeb Alsonaro, the openly fascist Brazilian president. So this this

246
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: guy is saying that, you know, Trump is comparable to

247
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. He's saying that Trump is the second most

248
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: persecuted or maybe as persecuted person in the history of

249
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: the world as Jesus Christ. I mean, it's it's unbelievable

250
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: to think that people are saying this, but that's what's

251
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: being said. Now. I am laughing at this, because come on,

252
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: it is insane, it's laughable. The coping mechanisms present here

253
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: must be stretched very thin. However, there's one thing I

254
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: hope people can take away from this podcast from Q Clearance,

255
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: and that is that actually, you can't just mop these

256
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: people into submission. You will not be able to engage

257
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: with Q and On's by laughing in their face and

258
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: telling them how stupid they are. There are actually many

259
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: highly intelligent people who have somehow fallen for this hoax.

260
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: In many ways, it feels like the old contagious dancing phenomena.

261
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: A whole village back in the day would start dancing

262
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: in the streets, not able to stop. The more people

263
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: that saw them, the more that joined. It was involuntary,

264
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: a very interesting situation. Q and On is like this

265
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: in a way, but for anyone that's remotely interested in

266
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: right wing conspiracy theories, it's an immediate snowball. I don't

267
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: know how to stop it, but I do think part

268
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: of the problem lies within ourselves. I know that's not

269
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: going to be a popular opinion, but it's the one

270
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: I have. It's very easy to dream and laugh at

271
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: people we disagree with, but it's a lot harder to

272
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: find common ground, which I think is something we should

273
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: be trying to do more of now, especially when you

274
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: consider what's going on in the last five years. The

275
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: toxic culture war in America has dropped its cluster munitions

276
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: if you like, all over the place. You cannot escape

277
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: the viciously partisan dialogue taking over American politics. This all

278
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: rose up in a time when faith in mainstream media

279
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: was hitting an all time low, and Donald Trump made

280
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: his mission to label journalists as enemies. Now that is

281
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 1: not a partisan viewpoint. It's very clear. He said they

282
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: are the enemy of the people, and if you like,

283
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: we can talk about Obama too. He did a lot

284
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: of bad things for the freedom of journalists in America,

285
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: but presently we're talking about Trump. Trump has said that

286
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: the journalists that basically say anything thing that doesn't go

287
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: along with his line of thinking are the enemies of

288
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: the people. That is an incredibly dangerous comment for the

289
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: former president of the most powerful country in the world

290
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: to make. Now, if people ardently follow Trump, they're already

291
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: going to be mixed up within the culture war in

292
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: the US. If they're mixed up in that from the

293
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: right wing maga perspective, they have a leader Trump. When

294
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: Trump says what he does about the media, the troops

295
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: then follow. We've seen in a small space of time

296
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people begin to completely disengage from

297
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: any media there isn't echoing their own opinions back to them.

298
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: When that happens, these people dig deeper into so called

299
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: alternative media. Now, some alternative media is very good and

300
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: very on point. I run my own platform, Popular Front,

301
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: which some people would consider an alternative media platform. However,

302
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: a lot of the alternative media are simply just right

303
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: wing opinion pieces or left wing opinion pieces on the

304
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: other side, presented as news, and they always have a

305
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: dash of drama at all times. In a way, this

306
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: is how Q cut his teeth. Remember, One of the

307
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: many Q and On slogans is we are the news Now.

308
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: The idea spread by a Q is that his followers

309
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: don't need to watch the news anymore, they don't need

310
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: to engage with it because they can create it themselves.

311
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: They then feel like they have a more important role

312
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: and therefore a better place in the community. Everyone's agreeing

313
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: with them, so to make everyone happy, they link absolutely

314
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: everything back to Q and Trump and their champion for

315
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: it by their new que and non friends. Now, I'm

316
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: not trying to sound like some kind of five pint

317
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: for posso for here, but I think we do live

318
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: in some very dark times in many different ways. Whether

319
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: you like it or not, It's true that we're living

320
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: in a time of rampant hype of consumerism, NonStop urbanization,

321
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: and an over reliance on social media. The world can

322
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: become a very lonely place. Everyone is online all the time. Now,

323
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: you might have family around you, but they might not

324
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: ever be really present due to the social media and

325
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: the phones. So therefore, if you can find an online

326
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: tribe of your own that patch you on the back

327
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: every day, you can find yourself a surrogate family. All

328
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: be a very shallow one. This is, in my opinion,

329
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: one of the biggest draws for Q and On's. They

330
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: have a place where they're welcomed. On top of that,

331
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: it's all very exciting. They believe they're taking part in

332
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: a global investigation of the highest steaks. They build new

333
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: theories out of nothing and are told how smart they

334
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: are by Q for doing it, and they're also told

335
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: how stupid everyone else is for not seeing their excellence. Essentially,

336
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: it's grooming. It segregates people from their real life, and

337
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: it gives them a false sense of power within a

338
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: new community that will always tell them that they're right.

339
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: Many people want that, and it's not always their fault.

340
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Life is often boring and painful. If these people can

341
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: find a place to feel useful outside of their everyday

342
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: existence on a level as secretive and powerful as they

343
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: think you and on is, it's no wonder they fall

344
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: for cues lies every time in a fuckt up way.

345
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: I am sure for many Q and On's that the

346
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: real plan is the friends they made along the way.

347
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: That would be fine if Q wasn't calling for the

348
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: mass murder of any politicians that don't agree with his politics,

349
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: and if he wasn't tearing families apart, but Q is

350
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: doing that now. I don't think Q is going to

351
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: last forever. I think it's probably going to fade out

352
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: within the next year or two. But I do think

353
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: the next iteration of Q, which trust me, will come,

354
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: I think that will cause even more damage. I'm not

355
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: sure how to combat it all, but from my experience

356
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: researching all of this, engaging with q and On followers

357
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: and constantly reading them many posts, I think one thing

358
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: that's maybe helpful is listening and engaging. I know that

359
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: sounds simple, but you never know how much that can

360
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: help a person. Perhaps you have a slightly wacky uncle

361
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: or your mom is over sharing conspiracy theories on Facebook.

362
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: Don't scream at them, don't ignore them, and don't try

363
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: to shame them in front of others. Forget all of

364
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: this canceling culture. Forget that. Instead, maybe log off, take

365
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: them outside for a walk and speak to them before

366
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: it's too late. Don't just do it once, either, change

367
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: your routines to make sure they don't change theirs and

368
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: become obsessed with this insane Q and On theory. Now,

369
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: if it is too late and they're already deep in

370
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: the Q and On Maze. Maybe try to talk to

371
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: them to see if they'll listen to Q Clearance with

372
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: you make it a game. Say you want them to

373
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: debunk here. I don't know. I'm not just saying that

374
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: because yeah, I want people to listen to Q Clearance.

375
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: I've put a lot of work into this with the

376
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: help of Sarah Hightower, and I think what we've done

377
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: here is pointing out many of the floors to Q

378
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: and On without trying to totally degrade the Q and

379
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: On people. It's distressful for people that are living with

380
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: a family torn apart by Q right now. But just

381
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: remember Q will eventually fall. His base is already crumbling.

382
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: When Q and On start to clear their eyes, don't

383
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: laugh at them or tell them I told you so.

384
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Just try to re build whatever you've lost. Oh when

385
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: one last thing, Fuck Jim Watkins, Fuck Ron Watkins. This

386
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: was Q Clearance. Thank you very much for listening. Q
