WEBVTT - Q is Crumbling 

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Q and On is the world's largest online political conspiracy movement.

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Followers believe someone code named Q is provided them with

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>secret information from inside the White House. No one really

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>knows the real identity of Q, though we aim to

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>change that. I'm Jake Hanrahan and this is Q Clearance,

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 1>a podcast series aimed at unmasking the true identity of Q.

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>This is brought to you by IR Radio and Q

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Daytaur Media. Last episode, we built the final part of

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>our case that shows very strongly that the Watkins family

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 1>are currently in control of the Q and On account.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>In this final episode, will be reviewing all the information

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>that we've learned along the way and looking at how

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>we can maybe help to understand and perhaps stop the

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>spread of life consuming conspiracy theories like Q and On. Firstly, though,

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I just want to thank everyone that's been listening. We've

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>had an excellent reception to Q Clearance. I am very

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.320
<v Speaker 1>happy that you have found this useful. Thank you very much. Now,

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>many many people have got in contact with me since

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 1>the series launched. Some just say, oh wow, I didn't

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>know how deep Q and On was. Some have thanked

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>me for explaining the details of the theory. But many

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>have reached out to say how their families have been

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>tipped upside down by relatives who have let Q and

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 1>On take over their whole lives. This might sound dramatic,

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>but there are hundreds, probably thousands of people all over

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the US and the rest of the world who have

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>family members that believe they're evil or somehow their enemy

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>because they question Q. It's a real problem, and like

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Sarah Hyatt Tower said in episode one, Q and On

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>is looking more and more like a cult. Speaking of messages,

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the more interesting ones that I got Joe

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>yesterday came from a man who claims to have known

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Paul Furber for decades. If you remember, Paul Furber is

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>who we think first had control of the Q and

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>on account and made it popular as it moved over

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:19.239
<v Speaker 1>from four Chan to h Chan. This guy who messaged

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>me he wants to remain anonymous, will call him Jack.

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>He messaged me saying he'd listened to Q Clearance and

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>he was shocked to hear Paul Furber's name. He showed

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>me evidence that proved he was, in fact an old

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>acquaintance of Furber's, quite a bit closer than an acquaintance

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>actually in some ways, but I don't want to say

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>too much. This guy Jack said something to me very

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting whilst we had a conversation. He said, quote, do

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I think Paul Furber could have been q and On?

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely the manner of speech and writing fit him. I

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>believe end quote. Remember this guy has known Paul Furber

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.839
<v Speaker 1>for decades. He proved it to me. Jack then went

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>on to say that Paul Furber is a very smart guy,

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>but has long been diagnosed with a serious mental health issue.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>He said he thinks Furber is deteriorating at the moment.

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 1>He also said that Paul has always been a Christian fundamentalist,

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>which would certainly add up with some of the hard

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>line Christian que drops that were posted on a Chan. Now,

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 1>if you look at Furber's bizarre tweets in his one

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>man failed mission to make Big Dick and On relevant,

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's definitely a possibility that he has been

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>having issues with his mental health for a while. I'm

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>not saying that to take the Pierce. It's genuinely quite

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>clear that this is going on, and it's not good.

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the saddest parts of long drawn

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>out conspiracy movements. Like Q and On, it not only

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>attracts griff as and con men, but also sweeps up

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the mentally ill or It makes those already fragile in

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that respect slip down a dangerous rabbit hole of hoaxes. Anyway,

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Q Clearance final episode, let's recap it all. If you

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>cast your mind back nine weeks ago to episode one,

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>you'll remember that's when we first laid out what Q

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>and On actually is and what the people that follow

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>it believing. Let's go over it again so we can

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>start connecting this Q Clearance map of hours from start

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to finish in one place. So, as we discussed in

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>episode one, if anyone asks you what Q and On is,

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you can completely free them out by saying the following.

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Q is a decentralized global conspiracy theory movement that believes

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a man with a special government clearance in a mirror

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>car is posting secret information from the White House. This

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>guy is known as Q. Q is doing this by

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>posting the supposed government information on an image board website

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that allows pedophiles and Nazi terror groups that want to

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>put an end to America to post openly. Q is

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>doing all of this because he claims he's a true

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 1>American patriot and that his mission is to stop a

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>deep state cabal of pedophiles within the Democrat Party and

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the so called mainstream liberal media. He needs to stop

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>them launching a silent coup data against Trump, who is

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>also in on the act under the code name Q plus.

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 1>It's absolutely unbelievably ridiculous. Why would an anti pedophile American

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>patriot with a Q clearance post secret information on an

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>image board where pedophile piles are allowed to roam free

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and neo Nazis are allowed to talk about how much

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>they want to launch terror attacks to bring America to

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>its needs. It makes no sense. Not only that, why

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>would he choose to form this global digital army when

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Q could just get anyone planning a U S cop

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>arrested immediately if he had the evidence he claims to.

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 1>If someone has a Q clearance, they're certainly trusted by

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the government on some level above your average citizen. I

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think it would be hard for Q to get

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the authorities to take his evidence seriously if he had any.

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>What's more, again, if Q was real, why the funk

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>did Donald Trump lose the election recently? Well as we

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.359
<v Speaker 1>know by now Q and On followers have an answer

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>for everything. But just keep in mind that these are

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>completely fair and logical questions for anyone you encounter that

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>might be Q and On curious. In fact, I have

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>met people that are kind of interested in Q and

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>they think there might be something behind it, And before

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>they get too deep into it, I've said to them, Hey,

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>why would a guy that wants to stop pedophiles post

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>on an image board that allows pedophiles. H Chan, for example,

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>even had its own board where pedophiles could gather and

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>talk about horrific acts of child abuse as if it

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>was some kind of war story. Why would somebody like

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Q if he was he he says he is, why

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 1>would he do that? Often this does actually help when

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>people go, oh, yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, this is

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>actually quite dark. Unfortunately a lot of people disregardless and

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>just say, oh, well Q had to use h chan

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and a con because the cabal tried to stop him

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>everywhere else. It's ridiculous, but it is the way it is,

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>So we know what you and On is. What it

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't is a left wing hoax. Remember episode two, That's

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the one where we thoroughly debunked one of the much

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>type theories that Q and on is being one by

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of leftist hoaxes called the Woming Collective. The

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>idea was that they were doing this just to try

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and make mega boomers look stupid. We heard from one

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of the lead members of the Woming Collective ourselves, and

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he was adamant that it wasn't them. None of it

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>really added up either. The Woming Collective has always claimed

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to their stunts and hoaxes. No one has ever come

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>forward to say, yeah, we're behind Q and on and

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely run its course. Now before the election would

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>have been the time they didn't do it. It's not

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the Wombing Collective. This theory was all just badly researched

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 1>hype from an old BuzzFeed article. The article itself was

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>actually built off of a four Chan post that basically said,

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>ha ha, we've tripped the right wing boomers with this

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Q and on hoax. Just remember almost never take four

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>chance seriously, as the journalist did that wrote that article.

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>In episode three, we learned all of out the aforementioned

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Paul Furber. This is when we discovered that he'd likely

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>taken over the q and on account after it was

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>kicked off of four Chan. Remember, Further was the only

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>one that could supposedly verify that when Q posted it

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.959
<v Speaker 1>was the real QUE, a problem that is obviously very

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>rife on a completely anonymous image board like four chan

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>or h Chan. After this, in episode four, we showed

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>how Paul Furber had his Q and on train hijacked.

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>That is, we think the Watkins family took the Q

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>and on account away from Further. How well, remember Jim

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Watkins son Ron Watkins, was the h Chan admin, effectively

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the only person above Paul Furber that could verify that

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Q was in fact Q. He played a big switchero

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>on Furber and became Q. Why would he do this, Well,

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the Watkins family needed this train to speed up. The

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>more people that came to h and, the better. More

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>traffic means more advertisers, which means more money. If the

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Watkins could control the Q narrative, they could better control

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>how people engage with it. Therefore, they could bring more

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>people to h and to check up on all the drops. Also,

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>both the dad and the son are big time MAGA

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>fundamentalists who dwell in the darkest part of the Internet

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>and mixed themselves amongst conspiracy theorists and petos. It makes

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 1>sense that someone like this would own a Q and

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>On and then the US election happened Biden one. As

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>we heard in episode four, Q and On's were absolutely

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>certain that Trump, their god king, was going to win again.

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.599
<v Speaker 1>There was no doubt in their mind. Q and On

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>said it will be a Trump landslide. When Trump wasn't reelected,

0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>many Q and On followers actually took to the Internet

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.719
<v Speaker 1>to state they're discussed and basically said they'd lost their

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 1>faith in Q. Others, though, went the other way. They

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.559
<v Speaker 1>doubled down. It's now largely Q and On followers that

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>are pushing the election fraud theory, stating that the Democrats

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>stole the election. They don't think that that means it's

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>over though, no, Many of them still believe that that

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>even that is all part of Que's plan and that

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump will sweep in to take the election back and

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>send everyone that he needs to send to prison and

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 1>let them rot, and then the plan will be done.

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>This theory is gaining weight within their community, especially since

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump retweeted a Mega News segment that featured Ron Watkins

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>as a technical analyst. This is what we spoke about

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 1>in episode six when we stated that we believe the

0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Watkins family are definitely behind the q and on account currently.

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>In episode seven, we made our case for all of this,

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>showing the many coincidences between Jim Watkins's online activity and Q.

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>We also stuck our heads into the back end and

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>showed that h N and A tune are on the

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>same server as some of the most prominent Q and

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:28.319
<v Speaker 1>on websites on the Internet. What a coincidence that leads

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 1>us up to now. Right now, Q has been mostly

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>quiet since the election. There's only been a handful of

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Q drops recently, and many Q and ons are clearly

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>very worried. They keep coming out with these bombastic statements

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.080
<v Speaker 1>that I think actually show they're realizing something fishy is

0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>going on. They're protesting a little bit too much, in

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>my opinion. For example, one big q and on account

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that has over two thousand followers on Twitter wrote this

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the other day. This is major patriot. He said, quote,

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>you are witnessing the greatest intelligence operation in history, military

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>precision at its finest end. Quote. He's referring to what

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>he thinks is Donald Trump and queue's current plan post election. Now,

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.079
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm wrong, but the constant doubling down at this

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:39.319
<v Speaker 1>stage feels like he might be trying to convince himself

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>more than anyone else. Of course, he could very well

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.959
<v Speaker 1>believe all of this. That's very possible. Many other Q

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and on's are awarding Trump with a golden medal despite

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the fact he's not done anything yet. None of his

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>vote fraud cases are being taken seriously by the courts.

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 1>But either way, the qs think he's doing a great job.

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>They think it's genius. Here's another que and on account

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>hailing Trump as a military genius. The truth will do,

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>says quote, do you understand how long our president has

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>been preparing, studying, analyzing. Not only is he a brilliant businessman,

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>but at this guy, real, Donald Trump is a military genius.

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I could go on and on, and then he's got

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the two eyes emoji and then it's ten slash two slash.

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Obviously this date and the tweet is from John Donald J. Trump.

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>It says, the Chinese and our hacking White House computers?

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Why not they already owned the place? They think that

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the hardcore neoliberal democrats of the US. Somehow the same

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>as totalitarian communists of the CCP in China. I don't

0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>know anyway. Another Q and on tweet that shows them

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 1>doubling down is this one by a guy called ntheos. Quote.

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>The boss Man has been telegraphing moves all day, the

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>boss man being Trump. Hope everyone's listening. No wasted words,

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>no wasted tweets. He speaks, It happens hashtag son sue.

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And the tweet that he's quoted here is from Donald Trump,

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>again obviously, and it says the invisible enemy will soon

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>be in full retreat. Now. When Trump is talking about

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the invisible enemy and stuff like that, it definitely plays

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>into the hands of Q and on supporters. That's very

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 1>much the kind of talk that Q and on uses.

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Here is the last, but one of my all time

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>favorite Q and on tweets of recent days. It's from

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 1>a guy called d o q Doc. It says, quote,

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>if there was a man who was persecuted more than

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump has been in outside of Jesus Christ, who is

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that man? They killed Jesus and he was perfect. Don't

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>think for a second they aren't going to try and

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>kill you and me. End quote, And the reply is

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>jeb Alsonaro, the openly fascist Brazilian president. So this this

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>guy is saying that, you know, Trump is comparable to

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ. He's saying that Trump is the second most

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>persecuted or maybe as persecuted person in the history of

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the world as Jesus Christ. I mean, it's it's unbelievable

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>to think that people are saying this, but that's what's

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 1>being said. Now. I am laughing at this, because come on,

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>it is insane, it's laughable. The coping mechanisms present here

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>must be stretched very thin. However, there's one thing I

0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 1>hope people can take away from this podcast from Q Clearance,

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and that is that actually, you can't just mop these

0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 1>people into submission. You will not be able to engage

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.919
<v Speaker 1>with Q and On's by laughing in their face and

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>telling them how stupid they are. There are actually many

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 1>highly intelligent people who have somehow fallen for this hoax.

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.919
<v Speaker 1>In many ways, it feels like the old contagious dancing phenomena.

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>A whole village back in the day would start dancing

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 1>in the streets, not able to stop. The more people

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 1>that saw them, the more that joined. It was involuntary,

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>a very interesting situation. Q and On is like this

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 1>in a way, but for anyone that's remotely interested in

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 1>right wing conspiracy theories, it's an immediate snowball. I don't

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.640
<v Speaker 1>know how to stop it, but I do think part

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of the problem lies within ourselves. I know that's not

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be a popular opinion, but it's the one

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>I have. It's very easy to dream and laugh at

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 1>people we disagree with, but it's a lot harder to

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 1>find common ground, which I think is something we should

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.159
<v Speaker 1>be trying to do more of now, especially when you

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:14.360
<v Speaker 1>consider what's going on in the last five years. The

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>toxic culture war in America has dropped its cluster munitions

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>if you like, all over the place. You cannot escape

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the viciously partisan dialogue taking over American politics. This all

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.479
<v Speaker 1>rose up in a time when faith in mainstream media

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 1>was hitting an all time low, and Donald Trump made

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 1>his mission to label journalists as enemies. Now that is

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.239
<v Speaker 1>not a partisan viewpoint. It's very clear. He said they

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.679
<v Speaker 1>are the enemy of the people, and if you like,

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 1>we can talk about Obama too. He did a lot

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 1>of bad things for the freedom of journalists in America,

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 1>but presently we're talking about Trump. Trump has said that

0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.719
<v Speaker 1>the journalists that basically say anything thing that doesn't go

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 1>along with his line of thinking are the enemies of

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the people. That is an incredibly dangerous comment for the

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.679
<v Speaker 1>former president of the most powerful country in the world

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to make. Now, if people ardently follow Trump, they're already

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be mixed up within the culture war in

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the US. If they're mixed up in that from the

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 1>right wing maga perspective, they have a leader Trump. When

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump says what he does about the media, the troops

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 1>then follow. We've seen in a small space of time

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands of people begin to completely disengage from

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 1>any media there isn't echoing their own opinions back to them.

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>When that happens, these people dig deeper into so called

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 1>alternative media. Now, some alternative media is very good and

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 1>very on point. I run my own platform, Popular Front,

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 1>which some people would consider an alternative media platform. However,

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:07.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the alternative media are simply just right

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>wing opinion pieces or left wing opinion pieces on the

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 1>other side, presented as news, and they always have a

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 1>dash of drama at all times. In a way, this

0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 1>is how Q cut his teeth. Remember, One of the

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 1>many Q and On slogans is we are the news Now.

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 1>The idea spread by a Q is that his followers

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:32.760
<v Speaker 1>don't need to watch the news anymore, they don't need

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to engage with it because they can create it themselves.

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.960
<v Speaker 1>They then feel like they have a more important role

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and therefore a better place in the community. Everyone's agreeing

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 1>with them, so to make everyone happy, they link absolutely

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.439
<v Speaker 1>everything back to Q and Trump and their champion for

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it by their new que and non friends. Now, I'm

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.720
<v Speaker 1>not trying to sound like some kind of five pint

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 1>for posso for here, but I think we do live

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:07.680
<v Speaker 1>in some very dark times in many different ways. Whether

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you like it or not, It's true that we're living

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:15.480
<v Speaker 1>in a time of rampant hype of consumerism, NonStop urbanization,

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and an over reliance on social media. The world can

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 1>become a very lonely place. Everyone is online all the time. Now,

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>you might have family around you, but they might not

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 1>ever be really present due to the social media and

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the phones. So therefore, if you can find an online

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 1>tribe of your own that patch you on the back

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:42.920
<v Speaker 1>every day, you can find yourself a surrogate family. All

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 1>be a very shallow one. This is, in my opinion,

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the biggest draws for Q and On's. They

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:53.399
<v Speaker 1>have a place where they're welcomed. On top of that,

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it's all very exciting. They believe they're taking part in

0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a global investigation of the highest steaks. They build new

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.719
<v Speaker 1>theories out of nothing and are told how smart they

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 1>are by Q for doing it, and they're also told

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:13.160
<v Speaker 1>how stupid everyone else is for not seeing their excellence. Essentially,

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>it's grooming. It segregates people from their real life, and

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 1>it gives them a false sense of power within a

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.880
<v Speaker 1>new community that will always tell them that they're right.

0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Many people want that, and it's not always their fault.

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Life is often boring and painful. If these people can

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>find a place to feel useful outside of their everyday

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:38.360
<v Speaker 1>existence on a level as secretive and powerful as they

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.080
<v Speaker 1>think you and on is, it's no wonder they fall

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:45.400
<v Speaker 1>for cues lies every time in a fuckt up way.

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I am sure for many Q and On's that the

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>real plan is the friends they made along the way.

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 1>That would be fine if Q wasn't calling for the

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 1>mass murder of any politicians that don't agree with his politics,

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and if he wasn't tearing families apart, but Q is

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 1>doing that now. I don't think Q is going to

0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:08.640
<v Speaker 1>last forever. I think it's probably going to fade out

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 1>within the next year or two. But I do think

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the next iteration of Q, which trust me, will come,

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.919
<v Speaker 1>I think that will cause even more damage. I'm not

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 1>sure how to combat it all, but from my experience

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 1>researching all of this, engaging with q and On followers

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and constantly reading them many posts, I think one thing

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>that's maybe helpful is listening and engaging. I know that

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>sounds simple, but you never know how much that can

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:42.959
<v Speaker 1>help a person. Perhaps you have a slightly wacky uncle

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.679
<v Speaker 1>or your mom is over sharing conspiracy theories on Facebook.

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Don't scream at them, don't ignore them, and don't try

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 1>to shame them in front of others. Forget all of

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 1>this canceling culture. Forget that. Instead, maybe log off, take

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.439
<v Speaker 1>them outside for a walk and speak to them before

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.919
<v Speaker 1>it's too late. Don't just do it once, either, change

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.679
<v Speaker 1>your routines to make sure they don't change theirs and

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>become obsessed with this insane Q and On theory. Now,

0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 1>if it is too late and they're already deep in

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the Q and On Maze. Maybe try to talk to

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.439
<v Speaker 1>them to see if they'll listen to Q Clearance with

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:21.879
<v Speaker 1>you make it a game. Say you want them to

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:24.439
<v Speaker 1>debunk here. I don't know. I'm not just saying that

0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, I want people to listen to Q Clearance.

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I've put a lot of work into this with the

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 1>help of Sarah Hightower, and I think what we've done

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>here is pointing out many of the floors to Q

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and On without trying to totally degrade the Q and

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 1>On people. It's distressful for people that are living with

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:47.159
<v Speaker 1>a family torn apart by Q right now. But just

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 1>remember Q will eventually fall. His base is already crumbling.

0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 1>When Q and On start to clear their eyes, don't

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 1>laugh at them or tell them I told you so.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Just try to re build whatever you've lost. Oh when

0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>one last thing, Fuck Jim Watkins, Fuck Ron Watkins. This

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:20.520
<v Speaker 1>was Q Clearance. Thank you very much for listening. Q
