Speaker 1: Q and On is the world's largest online political conspiracy movement.
Speaker 1: Followers believe someone code named Q is provided them with
Speaker 1: secret information from inside the White House. No one really
Speaker 1: knows the real identity of Q, though we aim to
Speaker 1: change that. I'm Jake Hanrahan and this is Q Clearance,
Speaker 1: a podcast series aimed at unmasking the true identity of Q.
Speaker 1: This is brought to you by IR Radio and Q
Speaker 1: Daytaur Media. Last episode, we built the final part of
Speaker 1: our case that shows very strongly that the Watkins family
Speaker 1: are currently in control of the Q and On account.
Speaker 1: In this final episode, will be reviewing all the information
Speaker 1: that we've learned along the way and looking at how
Speaker 1: we can maybe help to understand and perhaps stop the
Speaker 1: spread of life consuming conspiracy theories like Q and On. Firstly, though,
Speaker 1: I just want to thank everyone that's been listening. We've
Speaker 1: had an excellent reception to Q Clearance. I am very
Speaker 1: happy that you have found this useful. Thank you very much. Now,
Speaker 1: many many people have got in contact with me since
Speaker 1: the series launched. Some just say, oh wow, I didn't
Speaker 1: know how deep Q and On was. Some have thanked
Speaker 1: me for explaining the details of the theory. But many
Speaker 1: have reached out to say how their families have been
Speaker 1: tipped upside down by relatives who have let Q and
Speaker 1: On take over their whole lives. This might sound dramatic,
Speaker 1: but there are hundreds, probably thousands of people all over
Speaker 1: the US and the rest of the world who have
Speaker 1: family members that believe they're evil or somehow their enemy
Speaker 1: because they question Q. It's a real problem, and like
Speaker 1: Sarah Hyatt Tower said in episode one, Q and On
Speaker 1: is looking more and more like a cult. Speaking of messages,
Speaker 1: one of the more interesting ones that I got Joe
Speaker 1: yesterday came from a man who claims to have known
Speaker 1: Paul Furber for decades. If you remember, Paul Furber is
Speaker 1: who we think first had control of the Q and
Speaker 1: on account and made it popular as it moved over
Speaker 1: from four Chan to h Chan. This guy who messaged
Speaker 1: me he wants to remain anonymous, will call him Jack.
Speaker 1: He messaged me saying he'd listened to Q Clearance and
Speaker 1: he was shocked to hear Paul Furber's name. He showed
Speaker 1: me evidence that proved he was, in fact an old
Speaker 1: acquaintance of Furber's, quite a bit closer than an acquaintance
Speaker 1: actually in some ways, but I don't want to say
Speaker 1: too much. This guy Jack said something to me very
Speaker 1: interesting whilst we had a conversation. He said, quote, do
Speaker 1: I think Paul Furber could have been q and On?
Speaker 1: Absolutely the manner of speech and writing fit him. I
Speaker 1: believe end quote. Remember this guy has known Paul Furber
Speaker 1: for decades. He proved it to me. Jack then went
Speaker 1: on to say that Paul Furber is a very smart guy,
Speaker 1: but has long been diagnosed with a serious mental health issue.
Speaker 1: He said he thinks Furber is deteriorating at the moment.
Speaker 1: He also said that Paul has always been a Christian fundamentalist,
Speaker 1: which would certainly add up with some of the hard
Speaker 1: line Christian que drops that were posted on a Chan. Now,
Speaker 1: if you look at Furber's bizarre tweets in his one
Speaker 1: man failed mission to make Big Dick and On relevant,
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely a possibility that he has been
Speaker 1: having issues with his mental health for a while. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that to take the Pierce. It's genuinely quite
Speaker 1: clear that this is going on, and it's not good.
Speaker 1: This is one of the saddest parts of long drawn
Speaker 1: out conspiracy movements. Like Q and On, it not only
Speaker 1: attracts griff as and con men, but also sweeps up
Speaker 1: the mentally ill or It makes those already fragile in
Speaker 1: that respect slip down a dangerous rabbit hole of hoaxes. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Q Clearance final episode, let's recap it all. If you
Speaker 1: cast your mind back nine weeks ago to episode one,
Speaker 1: you'll remember that's when we first laid out what Q
Speaker 1: and On actually is and what the people that follow
Speaker 1: it believing. Let's go over it again so we can
Speaker 1: start connecting this Q Clearance map of hours from start
Speaker 1: to finish in one place. So, as we discussed in
Speaker 1: episode one, if anyone asks you what Q and On is,
Speaker 1: you can completely free them out by saying the following.
Speaker 1: Q is a decentralized global conspiracy theory movement that believes
Speaker 1: a man with a special government clearance in a mirror
Speaker 1: car is posting secret information from the White House. This
Speaker 1: guy is known as Q. Q is doing this by
Speaker 1: posting the supposed government information on an image board website
Speaker 1: that allows pedophiles and Nazi terror groups that want to
Speaker 1: put an end to America to post openly. Q is
Speaker 1: doing all of this because he claims he's a true
Speaker 1: American patriot and that his mission is to stop a
Speaker 1: deep state cabal of pedophiles within the Democrat Party and
Speaker 1: the so called mainstream liberal media. He needs to stop
Speaker 1: them launching a silent coup data against Trump, who is
Speaker 1: also in on the act under the code name Q plus.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely unbelievably ridiculous. Why would an anti pedophile American
Speaker 1: patriot with a Q clearance post secret information on an
Speaker 1: image board where pedophile piles are allowed to roam free
Speaker 1: and neo Nazis are allowed to talk about how much
Speaker 1: they want to launch terror attacks to bring America to
Speaker 1: its needs. It makes no sense. Not only that, why
Speaker 1: would he choose to form this global digital army when
Speaker 1: Q could just get anyone planning a U S cop
Speaker 1: arrested immediately if he had the evidence he claims to.
Speaker 1: If someone has a Q clearance, they're certainly trusted by
Speaker 1: the government on some level above your average citizen. I
Speaker 1: don't think it would be hard for Q to get
Speaker 1: the authorities to take his evidence seriously if he had any.
Speaker 1: What's more, again, if Q was real, why the funk
Speaker 1: did Donald Trump lose the election recently? Well as we
Speaker 1: know by now Q and On followers have an answer
Speaker 1: for everything. But just keep in mind that these are
Speaker 1: completely fair and logical questions for anyone you encounter that
Speaker 1: might be Q and On curious. In fact, I have
Speaker 1: met people that are kind of interested in Q and
Speaker 1: they think there might be something behind it, And before
Speaker 1: they get too deep into it, I've said to them, Hey,
Speaker 1: why would a guy that wants to stop pedophiles post
Speaker 1: on an image board that allows pedophiles. H Chan, for example,
Speaker 1: even had its own board where pedophiles could gather and
Speaker 1: talk about horrific acts of child abuse as if it
Speaker 1: was some kind of war story. Why would somebody like
Speaker 1: Q if he was he he says he is, why
Speaker 1: would he do that? Often this does actually help when
Speaker 1: people go, oh, yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: actually quite dark. Unfortunately a lot of people disregardless and
Speaker 1: just say, oh, well Q had to use h chan
Speaker 1: and a con because the cabal tried to stop him
Speaker 1: everywhere else. It's ridiculous, but it is the way it is,
Speaker 1: So we know what you and On is. What it
Speaker 1: isn't is a left wing hoax. Remember episode two, That's
Speaker 1: the one where we thoroughly debunked one of the much
Speaker 1: type theories that Q and on is being one by
Speaker 1: a bunch of leftist hoaxes called the Woming Collective. The
Speaker 1: idea was that they were doing this just to try
Speaker 1: and make mega boomers look stupid. We heard from one
Speaker 1: of the lead members of the Woming Collective ourselves, and
Speaker 1: he was adamant that it wasn't them. None of it
Speaker 1: really added up either. The Woming Collective has always claimed
Speaker 1: to their stunts and hoaxes. No one has ever come
Speaker 1: forward to say, yeah, we're behind Q and on and
Speaker 1: it's definitely run its course. Now before the election would
Speaker 1: have been the time they didn't do it. It's not
Speaker 1: the Wombing Collective. This theory was all just badly researched
Speaker 1: hype from an old BuzzFeed article. The article itself was
Speaker 1: actually built off of a four Chan post that basically said,
Speaker 1: ha ha, we've tripped the right wing boomers with this
Speaker 1: Q and on hoax. Just remember almost never take four
Speaker 1: chance seriously, as the journalist did that wrote that article.
Speaker 1: In episode three, we learned all of out the aforementioned
Speaker 1: Paul Furber. This is when we discovered that he'd likely
Speaker 1: taken over the q and on account after it was
Speaker 1: kicked off of four Chan. Remember, Further was the only
Speaker 1: one that could supposedly verify that when Q posted it
Speaker 1: was the real QUE, a problem that is obviously very
Speaker 1: rife on a completely anonymous image board like four chan
Speaker 1: or h Chan. After this, in episode four, we showed
Speaker 1: how Paul Furber had his Q and on train hijacked.
Speaker 1: That is, we think the Watkins family took the Q
Speaker 1: and on account away from Further. How well, remember Jim
Speaker 1: Watkins son Ron Watkins, was the h Chan admin, effectively
Speaker 1: the only person above Paul Furber that could verify that
Speaker 1: Q was in fact Q. He played a big switchero
Speaker 1: on Furber and became Q. Why would he do this, Well,
Speaker 1: the Watkins family needed this train to speed up. The
Speaker 1: more people that came to h and, the better. More
Speaker 1: traffic means more advertisers, which means more money. If the
Speaker 1: Watkins could control the Q narrative, they could better control
Speaker 1: how people engage with it. Therefore, they could bring more
Speaker 1: people to h and to check up on all the drops. Also,
Speaker 1: both the dad and the son are big time MAGA
Speaker 1: fundamentalists who dwell in the darkest part of the Internet
Speaker 1: and mixed themselves amongst conspiracy theorists and petos. It makes
Speaker 1: sense that someone like this would own a Q and
Speaker 1: On and then the US election happened Biden one. As
Speaker 1: we heard in episode four, Q and On's were absolutely
Speaker 1: certain that Trump, their god king, was going to win again.
Speaker 1: There was no doubt in their mind. Q and On
Speaker 1: said it will be a Trump landslide. When Trump wasn't reelected,
Speaker 1: many Q and On followers actually took to the Internet
Speaker 1: to state they're discussed and basically said they'd lost their
Speaker 1: faith in Q. Others, though, went the other way. They
Speaker 1: doubled down. It's now largely Q and On followers that
Speaker 1: are pushing the election fraud theory, stating that the Democrats
Speaker 1: stole the election. They don't think that that means it's
Speaker 1: over though, no, Many of them still believe that that
Speaker 1: even that is all part of Que's plan and that
Speaker 1: Trump will sweep in to take the election back and
Speaker 1: send everyone that he needs to send to prison and
Speaker 1: let them rot, and then the plan will be done.
Speaker 1: This theory is gaining weight within their community, especially since
Speaker 1: Trump retweeted a Mega News segment that featured Ron Watkins
Speaker 1: as a technical analyst. This is what we spoke about
Speaker 1: in episode six when we stated that we believe the
Speaker 1: Watkins family are definitely behind the q and on account currently.
Speaker 1: In episode seven, we made our case for all of this,
Speaker 1: showing the many coincidences between Jim Watkins's online activity and Q.
Speaker 1: We also stuck our heads into the back end and
Speaker 1: showed that h N and A tune are on the
Speaker 1: same server as some of the most prominent Q and
Speaker 1: on websites on the Internet. What a coincidence that leads
Speaker 1: us up to now. Right now, Q has been mostly
Speaker 1: quiet since the election. There's only been a handful of
Speaker 1: Q drops recently, and many Q and ons are clearly
Speaker 1: very worried. They keep coming out with these bombastic statements
Speaker 1: that I think actually show they're realizing something fishy is
Speaker 1: going on. They're protesting a little bit too much, in
Speaker 1: my opinion. For example, one big q and on account
Speaker 1: that has over two thousand followers on Twitter wrote this
Speaker 1: the other day. This is major patriot. He said, quote,
Speaker 1: you are witnessing the greatest intelligence operation in history, military
Speaker 1: precision at its finest end. Quote. He's referring to what
Speaker 1: he thinks is Donald Trump and queue's current plan post election. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong, but the constant doubling down at this
Speaker 1: stage feels like he might be trying to convince himself
Speaker 1: more than anyone else. Of course, he could very well
Speaker 1: believe all of this. That's very possible. Many other Q
Speaker 1: and on's are awarding Trump with a golden medal despite
Speaker 1: the fact he's not done anything yet. None of his
Speaker 1: vote fraud cases are being taken seriously by the courts.
Speaker 1: But either way, the qs think he's doing a great job.
Speaker 1: They think it's genius. Here's another que and on account
Speaker 1: hailing Trump as a military genius. The truth will do,
Speaker 1: says quote, do you understand how long our president has
Speaker 1: been preparing, studying, analyzing. Not only is he a brilliant businessman,
Speaker 1: but at this guy, real, Donald Trump is a military genius.
Speaker 1: I could go on and on, and then he's got
Speaker 1: the two eyes emoji and then it's ten slash two slash.
Speaker 1: Obviously this date and the tweet is from John Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 1: It says, the Chinese and our hacking White House computers?
Speaker 1: Why not they already owned the place? They think that
Speaker 1: the hardcore neoliberal democrats of the US. Somehow the same
Speaker 1: as totalitarian communists of the CCP in China. I don't
Speaker 1: know anyway. Another Q and on tweet that shows them
Speaker 1: doubling down is this one by a guy called ntheos. Quote.
Speaker 1: The boss Man has been telegraphing moves all day, the
Speaker 1: boss man being Trump. Hope everyone's listening. No wasted words,
Speaker 1: no wasted tweets. He speaks, It happens hashtag son sue.
Speaker 1: And the tweet that he's quoted here is from Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: again obviously, and it says the invisible enemy will soon
Speaker 1: be in full retreat. Now. When Trump is talking about
Speaker 1: the invisible enemy and stuff like that, it definitely plays
Speaker 1: into the hands of Q and on supporters. That's very
Speaker 1: much the kind of talk that Q and on uses.
Speaker 1: Here is the last, but one of my all time
Speaker 1: favorite Q and on tweets of recent days. It's from
Speaker 1: a guy called d o q Doc. It says, quote,
Speaker 1: if there was a man who was persecuted more than
Speaker 1: Trump has been in outside of Jesus Christ, who is
Speaker 1: that man? They killed Jesus and he was perfect. Don't
Speaker 1: think for a second they aren't going to try and
Speaker 1: kill you and me. End quote, And the reply is
Speaker 1: jeb Alsonaro, the openly fascist Brazilian president. So this this
Speaker 1: guy is saying that, you know, Trump is comparable to
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. He's saying that Trump is the second most
Speaker 1: persecuted or maybe as persecuted person in the history of
Speaker 1: the world as Jesus Christ. I mean, it's it's unbelievable
Speaker 1: to think that people are saying this, but that's what's
Speaker 1: being said. Now. I am laughing at this, because come on,
Speaker 1: it is insane, it's laughable. The coping mechanisms present here
Speaker 1: must be stretched very thin. However, there's one thing I
Speaker 1: hope people can take away from this podcast from Q Clearance,
Speaker 1: and that is that actually, you can't just mop these
Speaker 1: people into submission. You will not be able to engage
Speaker 1: with Q and On's by laughing in their face and
Speaker 1: telling them how stupid they are. There are actually many
Speaker 1: highly intelligent people who have somehow fallen for this hoax.
Speaker 1: In many ways, it feels like the old contagious dancing phenomena.
Speaker 1: A whole village back in the day would start dancing
Speaker 1: in the streets, not able to stop. The more people
Speaker 1: that saw them, the more that joined. It was involuntary,
Speaker 1: a very interesting situation. Q and On is like this
Speaker 1: in a way, but for anyone that's remotely interested in
Speaker 1: right wing conspiracy theories, it's an immediate snowball. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to stop it, but I do think part
Speaker 1: of the problem lies within ourselves. I know that's not
Speaker 1: going to be a popular opinion, but it's the one
Speaker 1: I have. It's very easy to dream and laugh at
Speaker 1: people we disagree with, but it's a lot harder to
Speaker 1: find common ground, which I think is something we should
Speaker 1: be trying to do more of now, especially when you
Speaker 1: consider what's going on in the last five years. The
Speaker 1: toxic culture war in America has dropped its cluster munitions
Speaker 1: if you like, all over the place. You cannot escape
Speaker 1: the viciously partisan dialogue taking over American politics. This all
Speaker 1: rose up in a time when faith in mainstream media
Speaker 1: was hitting an all time low, and Donald Trump made
Speaker 1: his mission to label journalists as enemies. Now that is
Speaker 1: not a partisan viewpoint. It's very clear. He said they
Speaker 1: are the enemy of the people, and if you like,
Speaker 1: we can talk about Obama too. He did a lot
Speaker 1: of bad things for the freedom of journalists in America,
Speaker 1: but presently we're talking about Trump. Trump has said that
Speaker 1: the journalists that basically say anything thing that doesn't go
Speaker 1: along with his line of thinking are the enemies of
Speaker 1: the people. That is an incredibly dangerous comment for the
Speaker 1: former president of the most powerful country in the world
Speaker 1: to make. Now, if people ardently follow Trump, they're already
Speaker 1: going to be mixed up within the culture war in
Speaker 1: the US. If they're mixed up in that from the
Speaker 1: right wing maga perspective, they have a leader Trump. When
Speaker 1: Trump says what he does about the media, the troops
Speaker 1: then follow. We've seen in a small space of time
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people begin to completely disengage from
Speaker 1: any media there isn't echoing their own opinions back to them.
Speaker 1: When that happens, these people dig deeper into so called
Speaker 1: alternative media. Now, some alternative media is very good and
Speaker 1: very on point. I run my own platform, Popular Front,
Speaker 1: which some people would consider an alternative media platform. However,
Speaker 1: a lot of the alternative media are simply just right
Speaker 1: wing opinion pieces or left wing opinion pieces on the
Speaker 1: other side, presented as news, and they always have a
Speaker 1: dash of drama at all times. In a way, this
Speaker 1: is how Q cut his teeth. Remember, One of the
Speaker 1: many Q and On slogans is we are the news Now.
Speaker 1: The idea spread by a Q is that his followers
Speaker 1: don't need to watch the news anymore, they don't need
Speaker 1: to engage with it because they can create it themselves.
Speaker 1: They then feel like they have a more important role
Speaker 1: and therefore a better place in the community. Everyone's agreeing
Speaker 1: with them, so to make everyone happy, they link absolutely
Speaker 1: everything back to Q and Trump and their champion for
Speaker 1: it by their new que and non friends. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to sound like some kind of five pint
Speaker 1: for posso for here, but I think we do live
Speaker 1: in some very dark times in many different ways. Whether
Speaker 1: you like it or not, It's true that we're living
Speaker 1: in a time of rampant hype of consumerism, NonStop urbanization,
Speaker 1: and an over reliance on social media. The world can
Speaker 1: become a very lonely place. Everyone is online all the time. Now,
Speaker 1: you might have family around you, but they might not
Speaker 1: ever be really present due to the social media and
Speaker 1: the phones. So therefore, if you can find an online
Speaker 1: tribe of your own that patch you on the back
Speaker 1: every day, you can find yourself a surrogate family. All
Speaker 1: be a very shallow one. This is, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest draws for Q and On's. They
Speaker 1: have a place where they're welcomed. On top of that,
Speaker 1: it's all very exciting. They believe they're taking part in
Speaker 1: a global investigation of the highest steaks. They build new
Speaker 1: theories out of nothing and are told how smart they
Speaker 1: are by Q for doing it, and they're also told
Speaker 1: how stupid everyone else is for not seeing their excellence. Essentially,
Speaker 1: it's grooming. It segregates people from their real life, and
Speaker 1: it gives them a false sense of power within a
Speaker 1: new community that will always tell them that they're right.
Speaker 1: Many people want that, and it's not always their fault.
Speaker 1: Life is often boring and painful. If these people can
Speaker 1: find a place to feel useful outside of their everyday
Speaker 1: existence on a level as secretive and powerful as they
Speaker 1: think you and on is, it's no wonder they fall
Speaker 1: for cues lies every time in a fuckt up way.
Speaker 1: I am sure for many Q and On's that the
Speaker 1: real plan is the friends they made along the way.
Speaker 1: That would be fine if Q wasn't calling for the
Speaker 1: mass murder of any politicians that don't agree with his politics,
Speaker 1: and if he wasn't tearing families apart, but Q is
Speaker 1: doing that now. I don't think Q is going to
Speaker 1: last forever. I think it's probably going to fade out
Speaker 1: within the next year or two. But I do think
Speaker 1: the next iteration of Q, which trust me, will come,
Speaker 1: I think that will cause even more damage. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how to combat it all, but from my experience
Speaker 1: researching all of this, engaging with q and On followers
Speaker 1: and constantly reading them many posts, I think one thing
Speaker 1: that's maybe helpful is listening and engaging. I know that
Speaker 1: sounds simple, but you never know how much that can
Speaker 1: help a person. Perhaps you have a slightly wacky uncle
Speaker 1: or your mom is over sharing conspiracy theories on Facebook.
Speaker 1: Don't scream at them, don't ignore them, and don't try
Speaker 1: to shame them in front of others. Forget all of
Speaker 1: this canceling culture. Forget that. Instead, maybe log off, take
Speaker 1: them outside for a walk and speak to them before
Speaker 1: it's too late. Don't just do it once, either, change
Speaker 1: your routines to make sure they don't change theirs and
Speaker 1: become obsessed with this insane Q and On theory. Now,
Speaker 1: if it is too late and they're already deep in
Speaker 1: the Q and On Maze. Maybe try to talk to
Speaker 1: them to see if they'll listen to Q Clearance with
Speaker 1: you make it a game. Say you want them to
Speaker 1: debunk here. I don't know. I'm not just saying that
Speaker 1: because yeah, I want people to listen to Q Clearance.
Speaker 1: I've put a lot of work into this with the
Speaker 1: help of Sarah Hightower, and I think what we've done
Speaker 1: here is pointing out many of the floors to Q
Speaker 1: and On without trying to totally degrade the Q and
Speaker 1: On people. It's distressful for people that are living with
Speaker 1: a family torn apart by Q right now. But just
Speaker 1: remember Q will eventually fall. His base is already crumbling.
Speaker 1: When Q and On start to clear their eyes, don't
Speaker 1: laugh at them or tell them I told you so.
Speaker 1: Just try to re build whatever you've lost. Oh when
Speaker 1: one last thing, Fuck Jim Watkins, Fuck Ron Watkins. This
Speaker 1: was Q Clearance. Thank you very much for listening. Q
