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 unmasking the true identity of Q.
Speaker 1: This is brought to you by I R Radio and
Speaker 1: Q Daytaur Media. Last episode, we pinpointed and named who
Speaker 1: we think the biggest players are behind the Q and
Speaker 1: On hoax. That is Jim Watkins and his son, Ron Watkins.
Speaker 1: In this episode will be building up the case of
Speaker 1: evidence that strengthens this accusation. First, though, let's take a
Speaker 1: look at what's been going on in the Q and
Speaker 1: On universe in the last two weeks. So, in a
Speaker 1: twist so ridiculous I almost thought it was a joke
Speaker 1: when someone sent it to me, Donald Trump has retweeted
Speaker 1: a video with Ron Watkins in it on November What's more,
Speaker 1: Ron Watkins was presented as an expert and cited as
Speaker 1: a large systems technical analyst in the video, which technically
Speaker 1: probably isn't inaccurate, But what they left out is very telling.
Speaker 1: We'll get onto that later. Anyway, let me explain this video.
Speaker 1: So Trump's new favorite channel seems to be this network
Speaker 1: called O A n N, which stands for One America
Speaker 1: News Network. The channel vaguely presents itself as news media,
Speaker 1: but in reality, it's built to spread part of analyzes
Speaker 1: and propaganda. Now that's not me being biased about their content,
Speaker 1: by the way, that's just the presentation of what they're doing.
Speaker 1: You can fact check O A n and yourself if
Speaker 1: you want. Is mostly bullshit, and that's what you'll find there.
Speaker 1: They talk nonsense, they presented as fact, get everyone riled up,
Speaker 1: and then move on to the next segment. Unfortunately, it's
Speaker 1: a tried and tested model within US news media recently
Speaker 1: for both Republicans and Democrats. OH A n N is
Speaker 1: just taken the disinformation a step further, turning it up
Speaker 1: to eleven. If you like, have a listen to the
Speaker 1: piece Trump retweeted. It will give you a feel for
Speaker 1: what OH A n N is about. Well. Voter for
Speaker 1: Our deniers continue to proclaim the perfection of the U
Speaker 1: S election system. Skeptics are looking at irregular patterns in
Speaker 1: vote data, in particular software irregularities that would switch votes
Speaker 1: from President Trump to Joe Biden. Dominion voting systems. There's
Speaker 1: one such software that's seemed to have a pattern of
Speaker 1: switching votes from Trump to Biden. How easily could bad
Speaker 1: actors have used Dominion to switch thousands of votes and
Speaker 1: alter an election county by county. The answer is shocking.
Speaker 1: One American News spoke with Ron Watkins, a large systems
Speaker 1: technical analyst who has been pouring over the Dominion Systems
Speaker 1: manual of so I was looking at this manual with
Speaker 1: the mindset of a penetration tester, but which I am.
Speaker 1: I'm reading the manual with the discerning iron. Now, within
Speaker 1: this supposed news segment, not one scrap of actual evidence
Speaker 1: was presented. Please remember, I am not pro Biden, I
Speaker 1: am not pro Trump. I don't care about politicians. However,
Speaker 1: I do care about the truth, and what O A
Speaker 1: n N is trying to do is just spread misinformation.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably why they got somebody like Ron
Speaker 1: Watkins on to talk about this, because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, Ron Watkins is going to completely a
Speaker 1: e with the pro Trump line that they are trying
Speaker 1: to put out. Funnily enough, in the segment. Obviously you
Speaker 1: can't see it. Ron Watkins is wearing a cowboy hat
Speaker 1: as they speak to him. Anyway, So, as you just
Speaker 1: heard in that segment that Trump retweeted, O A n
Speaker 1: N claims to have found all sorts of vulnerabilities with
Speaker 1: the voting systems that millions of Americans used to vote
Speaker 1: in the recent election. Oh A n N is of
Speaker 1: course extremely pro Trump, and they're refusing to accept that
Speaker 1: he lost the election to Joe Biden. Ron Watkins, the
Speaker 1: former admin of eight Con until very recently, is also
Speaker 1: extremely pro Trump. He is a huge MAGA fundamentalist. Neither
Speaker 1: Ron nor his father Jim can accept that Trump lost
Speaker 1: the election. They're saying that the dominion voting system machines
Speaker 1: were corrupted somehow. There is several differ theories, all of
Speaker 1: which have been disproven. The segment of the O A
Speaker 1: n N piece is largely irrelevant. Actually. What is relevant, though,
Speaker 1: is how the Internet underworld and the political elite have
Speaker 1: begun to merge for a small moment in time. It's
Speaker 1: almost as if Q and on has become a self
Speaker 1: fulfilling prophecy. Here. Donald Trump, the former president of the US,
Speaker 1: retweeted a piece where Ron Watkins, the former admin of
Speaker 1: a KUN, was cited as an expert looking into the
Speaker 1: alleged stolen election. If you don't see the irony, and no,
Speaker 1: I really don't know what to tell you, I don't
Speaker 1: think the relevance of Trump retweeting Ron Watkins can be overstated.
Speaker 1: He's basically given a lot of attention and credibility to
Speaker 1: Ron Watkins and therefore a con and h Chan because
Speaker 1: obviously that's what he's associated with now. I doubt Trump
Speaker 1: even watched the full thing or knows about Ron Watkins,
Speaker 1: but the fact he has even retweeted this wildly says
Speaker 1: a lot. I think it might embolden the Q and
Speaker 1: on people, and you never know, this might be the
Speaker 1: first step for Trump to lean into the Q and
Speaker 1: on theory a little bit more. Obviously, he's going to
Speaker 1: have to leave the White House soon. The Q and
Speaker 1: On theories are not coming to the storm is not coming,
Speaker 1: and he's going to need a new career. No doubt
Speaker 1: he'll start something like Trump TV, or he'll be on
Speaker 1: oh A and and all the time. But I do
Speaker 1: wonder if this is his first step to leaning into
Speaker 1: Q and on a little bit he basically has a
Speaker 1: pre paid audience already they're waiting for him, which is
Speaker 1: even more sticking in when you consider what Ron Watkins
Speaker 1: has been the admin of now. As I mentioned before,
Speaker 1: the real reason this is noteworthy is what oh A
Speaker 1: in and left out of the detail. When citing Ron
Speaker 1: Watkins as an expert, they said Ron Watkins is a
Speaker 1: large systems technical analyst. What they failed to mention is
Speaker 1: that Ron Watkins allowed the sharing of child abuse images
Speaker 1: whilst he was the admin of h chan and the
Speaker 1: admin of a coon. It wasn't just the odd pedophile
Speaker 1: posting here and there through the cracks either. H n
Speaker 1: had its own board for sharing images of young, fully
Speaker 1: clothed girls in suggestive poses. H Chan allowed pedophiles to
Speaker 1: discuss their horrific acts of child abuse as if they
Speaker 1: were war stories. All of this happened whilst Ron Watkins
Speaker 1: was in control as the admin and his dad, Jim Watkins,
Speaker 1: owned the site. I find it hard to believe that
Speaker 1: the people of O A N, then what unaware of
Speaker 1: all this. They've known about h chan for well over
Speaker 1: a year. They'd had Jim Watkins on as a guest
Speaker 1: in September, the sharing of a child abuse material on
Speaker 1: h Chan and a con is something we've mentioned time
Speaker 1: and again at Q Clearance. It might seem repetitive, but
Speaker 1: I think it's important to be regularly reminded that the
Speaker 1: Internet image board the QUE posts about pedophile cabalson is
Speaker 1: in fact host to several pedophile cabals is completely contradictory
Speaker 1: and it's sickening. Anyway, moving on, it's time now to
Speaker 1: look into Jim Watkins and why Fountain pens and yoga
Speaker 1: might connect him further to Q. Now, before we expand
Speaker 1: on all this, remember I am not saying that this
Speaker 1: is all binding proof. You can make your own mind
Speaker 1: up on whether it's relevant or not. But I'm not saying, hey,
Speaker 1: this is one proof. What I'm saying is I think
Speaker 1: this all stacks up as further evidence that Jim is
Speaker 1: in fact behind Q. So if you weren't aware, Jim
Speaker 1: Watkins has a niche interest in fountain pens. On his
Speaker 1: bizarre YouTube channel Watkins Xerxes, there are many videos of
Speaker 1: him reviewing fountain pens, cleaning fountain pens, talking about fountain pens.
Speaker 1: Have a listen here to the audio from one of
Speaker 1: Jim's videos titled making certain the Pennies clean, Let's join
Speaker 1: the pen fifteen club. It was from a live stream.
Speaker 1: He talks about the state of governments of Aidens briefly,
Speaker 1: which I think is interesting, and then he goes into
Speaker 1: talking about his pens. I would listen, Domina, I think
Speaker 1: for a moment that the five Eyes people are on
Speaker 1: our team anymore. They have thoroughly invested and been invested
Speaker 1: in by veg Aisia. So I'm going to clean pensively
Speaker 1: and relax. What I have here first is a Viscountry
Speaker 1: van Go and it actually is my favorite pen. And
Speaker 1: then it's a beautiful fan. Now you might be thinking,
Speaker 1: what the fund does Jim's fountain pens have to do
Speaker 1: with Q? Well, it just so happens that Q is
Speaker 1: also quite interested in fountain pens. In fact, in several
Speaker 1: Q drops, Q uses the phrase follow the pen and
Speaker 1: shows a photo of a fountain pen laid out on
Speaker 1: some White House letterheaded paper. It's all very vague, but
Speaker 1: the insinuation is that the photo of the fountain pen
Speaker 1: is some kind of confirmation that Q is in fact
Speaker 1: sat with his feet up in the White House. There's
Speaker 1: also some Q drops saying follow the pen with a
Speaker 1: letter that's been signed by Trump and various other people. Again,
Speaker 1: the insinuation is yet Q is on the inside, and
Speaker 1: you can see this if you just follow the pen.
Speaker 1: Of course, anyone could just print this paper up and
Speaker 1: take an unclear shot with their fountain pen next to it.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at Jim's YouTube video I
Speaker 1: just mentioned a minute ago, the one titled making Certain
Speaker 1: the pen is clean, Let's join the pen fifteen club.
Speaker 1: There are many moments where you see the desk he's
Speaker 1: working at. It could very easily be the same as
Speaker 1: the cryptic shot you posted with the fountain pen. There's
Speaker 1: even a moment at five thirty two in the video
Speaker 1: where you see a fountain pen next to a black
Speaker 1: ledger with a stack of papers nearby that's very similar
Speaker 1: to the photo from the follow the pen que drop
Speaker 1: I was just on about now. Of course, anyone with
Speaker 1: a home office is likely to have this kind of
Speaker 1: set up. It proves nothing, really, but the strange follow
Speaker 1: the pen phrase a clear extension of cues follow the plan,
Speaker 1: coupled with Jim's unusually detailed love of a niche hobby
Speaker 1: of fountain pen enthusiasm is quite a coincidence if you
Speaker 1: ask me, especially if you consider that the follow the
Speaker 1: pen posts only began happening in mid If you remember,
Speaker 1: that's around the time we think Paul Ferber had his
Speaker 1: que and on account hijacked by the Watkins family. Also,
Speaker 1: the five I is Watkins is concerned about in the
Speaker 1: YouTube clip we just heard is also a concern of Q.
Speaker 1: The phrase five eyes was mentioned in more than ten
Speaker 1: different Q drops in all in March, April and July.
Speaker 1: The follow the pen posts started in May. Now, don't worry,
Speaker 1: I haven't gone mad. I'm not trying to loosely connect
Speaker 1: random dates and meanings. And whilst it's obvious that five Eyes,
Speaker 1: a shared spying and surveillance operation between Australia, Canada, New
Speaker 1: Zealand and the US and the UK, would be mentioned
Speaker 1: by Q and on, I think it's at least worth
Speaker 1: showing that there are many shared interests and concerns between
Speaker 1: Jim Watkins and Q. Let's look at another one, yoga.
Speaker 1: The yoga connection does have a lot of examples and
Speaker 1: is therefore more of a tenuous link, but it's something
Speaker 1: people mention online when discussing this, so we'll go over
Speaker 1: it quickly here. I want you to be fully informed
Speaker 1: because you might hear some people say, oh yeah, the
Speaker 1: yoga connection, it's not much of a thing. But anyway,
Speaker 1: let's have a look. So basically, on April six two
Speaker 1: posted one drop that day saying simply clear your mind,
Speaker 1: he'll Q attached with some generic peaceful stock music on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Some have interpreted this as a yoga esque mantra clear
Speaker 1: your mind. Hell that makes sense, I guess. Now this
Speaker 1: connects to Jim Watkins for some because he has a
Speaker 1: whole playlist on his YouTube with thirty five videos all
Speaker 1: dedicated to him trying to do yoga. Many of them
Speaker 1: do have generic yoga style music, but that's pretty normal
Speaker 1: for yoga videos. Like I said, it's not that type
Speaker 1: of a connection. We don't want to lose ourselves in
Speaker 1: the weeze here and become qun on ourselves when looking
Speaker 1: at the connections. But it is what it is. So
Speaker 1: let's move away from this circumstantial stuff and look at
Speaker 1: something more solid, that being the links that Jim and
Speaker 1: Ron's h chan and a con seemed to have with
Speaker 1: large q and on websites. When we look under the
Speaker 1: bonnet and start getting technical. So on the twenty three August,
Speaker 1: several people on Twitter, including Frederick Brennan, began looking into
Speaker 1: the IP addresses of some q and on related websites. Now,
Speaker 1: if you don't know, an I P address is basically
Speaker 1: a numerical identifier that shows your machine is plugged in
Speaker 1: and connected to the Internet Protocol from wherever it is.
Speaker 1: So use on Twitter checked the IP address of a
Speaker 1: huge q and on website known as q map dot
Speaker 1: pub and he found that it had solid connections to
Speaker 1: h Chan and a Coon. Now this is quite a
Speaker 1: technical thing to understand, so I sent the data to
Speaker 1: one of my closest friends, who is a bit of
Speaker 1: a computer wizard kind of guy. For a living, he's
Speaker 1: paid to make sure connections are safe for big companies
Speaker 1: all over the world. That and some of the technical
Speaker 1: computer stuff I don't fully understand. Anyway, this I tammate
Speaker 1: of mine check the IP addresses and found the same
Speaker 1: results as what was shown on Twitter. He'll hopefully explain
Speaker 1: it a bit clearer than I can. When you go
Speaker 1: to a website on your computer is hyping Google dot com.
Speaker 1: In the background, there is something called the main name
Speaker 1: service working and what that's doing is it is, it's
Speaker 1: finding out where traffic needs to go. UM. So when
Speaker 1: you type in Google dot com in the background, d
Speaker 1: NS is saying, well, what I P address do I
Speaker 1: need to go to? In your computer will talk to
Speaker 1: a DNS server and the DNS server will tell your
Speaker 1: computer go to this address. And what's happening here is
Speaker 1: where these three websites is. When you do that, all
Speaker 1: three of these domain names website names, they point to
Speaker 1: exactly the same place. So if it's still not clear enough,
Speaker 1: let's just go over it again. What we're saying is
Speaker 1: wherever the large q and on website q map is hosted.
Speaker 1: So is or has been the three following websites that
Speaker 1: my friend just mentioned eight chan dot net, h chan
Speaker 1: dot mo, a con dot top. These are all the
Speaker 1: websites previously or currently owned or connected to the Watkins family. Now,
Speaker 1: you could argue that they've all just used the same
Speaker 1: service to avoid being kicked off of the Internet, as
Speaker 1: h chan once was by its hosting company. But I
Speaker 1: think at the very least this suggests that the people
Speaker 1: running h chan and eight con could have at least
Speaker 1: spoken to the people running q map to advise them
Speaker 1: on where to host their site. It will be a
Speaker 1: pretty big coincidence for them all just to gather together naturally.
Speaker 1: To Map, by the way, was a website that aimed
Speaker 1: to link all of the various TUE and on conspiracy
Speaker 1: theories under the same umbrella, with a kind of map,
Speaker 1: a direction telling people how to understand it all and
Speaker 1: see how it all links together. It was absolutely insane,
Speaker 1: but it was a big focus for a while for
Speaker 1: the Q and community. Now, as well as the three
Speaker 1: websites I just mentioned, my mate in I found seven more,
Speaker 1: all on the same server. Altogether, there are ten, but
Speaker 1: let me just read out the ones that might sound familiar.
Speaker 1: A con dot net, a con dot top, qulates dot net,
Speaker 1: q and on bin dot com, and q map dot pub.
Speaker 1: All of those are on the same server. Now, again,
Speaker 1: this is not one concrete evidence, but if you listen
Speaker 1: back to the last six episodes, combine it with everything
Speaker 1: we've learned about the Watkins family and now the fact
Speaker 1: a con is linked on the same server to Big
Speaker 1: Q and on websites, I think we have a very
Speaker 1: strong case here. In the next and final episode of
Speaker 1: Q Clearance will be going know that everything we've learned
Speaker 1: to connect the dots and put the final touches to
Speaker 1: this cum up of our own, the one that shows
Speaker 1: why this is all a hoax. D Clearance is brought
Speaker 1: to you by Radio and Co Daytar Media. I'm Jake Handrahan.
