1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Q and on is now the most prolific online conspiracy

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: theory of the twenty one century. None of their predictions

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: came true. Q has vanished and the storm never came,

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: but Q and on is still alive. I'm Jake Hanrahan,

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: and this is series two of Q Clearance, a podcast

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: shedding light on the ongoing Q and on conspiracy theory.

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: This is a production of Kudatar Media and I Heart Radio.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: effect Q and on has had on families and relationships.

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, much like a cult, it has

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: been devastating for many many people. Now, before we get

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: fully into it, I want to bring your attention to

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: one of the most brutal cases of Q and on

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: warping a family dynamic that I have ever seen. What

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm about to read out is a statement from a

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: Stoneman Douglas school shooting survivor. The Stoneman Douglas shooting being

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: the eighteen massacre in which a gunman opened fire and

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: killed seventeen people in a Parkland, Florida school. This is

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: what one of the survivors of that is having to

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: deal with thanks to Q and on. This is from

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: the q and On Casualties board on Reddit, and it goes, quote,

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: I survived the Stoneman Douglas school shooting, and my dad

23
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: is suddenly convinced I'm a liar and part of a

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: false flag operation. Sorry if this is long, but I

25
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: gotta get off my chest. I think my dad has

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: gone fucking insane. It's going way too far, and I

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: have trouble processing the last five months. He's always been

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: very conservative, but now q and on has consumed his

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: life to the point where it's tearing our family apart,

30
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: along with my mental health. Back January, he saw the

31
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: video of Marjorie Taylor Green harassing David Hogg, another student

32
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: from Stoneman Douglas, about the shooting being a false flag operation.

33
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: And while my dad was already inter cue, he'd never

34
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: gone down that particular rabbit hole. And now he's convinced

35
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: everything was a hoax, and it breaks my fucking heart.

36
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: He's done quote extensive research on body language and claims

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: he can tell Nicholas Cruz is a radical comic actor

38
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: who was paid to sacrifice his life in order to

39
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: remove our guns. He's questioning why they released the interrogation

40
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: footage if not to further deceive the sheep, believing everything

41
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: they see. He also stays the trial will be rigged,

42
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: and the reason they're talking about the death penalty is

43
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: to prevent him from ever talking just in case. What's

44
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: really fucked is that he knows I never want to

45
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: hear about him or see his face ever again. I've

46
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: been very clear on that, and I always leave the

47
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: room when he starts talking about him. I keep telling

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: him to please, please fucking stop, but there's no reaction

49
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: or empathy whatsoever. Even burgundy colored T shirt to make

50
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: me uncomfortable. That's what the shooter was wearing, and he

51
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: used to be so understanding. He stopped wearing it around me.

52
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: That person is completely gone, and I miss him so

53
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: fucking much. You're a real piece of work to be

54
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: able to sit here and act like nothing ever happened

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: if it wasn't a hoax, shame on you for being

56
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: part of it and putting your family through it too.

57
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: He'll say stuff like that straight to my face whenever

58
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: he's drinking, and I wonder if he'd still say it

59
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: if he knew what it does to me. It's bringing

60
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: back so much of my survivor's guilt, and I fucking

61
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: hate him for it. I worked in it for so long,

62
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: and now I once again feel like the biggest piece

63
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: of ship for being able to have good days when

64
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: their parents still grieving. I can't take more of him

65
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: berating me and purposely trying to trigger me to see

66
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: if my PTSD is real or not. He's seen me

67
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: breakdown and cry my eyes out multiple times, which I

68
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: never ever did before. Sometimes I wonder if he's hit

69
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: his head or had a fucking stroke, because I almost

70
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: can't believe it's the same person. What the funck is

71
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Q and on doing to people. My breaking point was

72
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: yesterday when I borrowed my little brother's iPad and saw

73
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: that he'd search for things like Stoneman Douglas fake proof

74
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: and Stoneman Douglas real dead body. I practically begged my

75
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: mom to give my dad an automatum to get professional

76
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: help or move out. She's really timid and hates confrontation,

77
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: so all she said was trying not to be home

78
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: as much and wait it out. I have no fucking

79
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: idea how to deal with this. It's too painful for

80
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: me to keep living like this, hearing his name almost

81
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: every single fucking day and being accused of accepting money

82
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: to be part of it. Even if my dad magically

83
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: snap out of this cube bullshit, I don't think i'd

84
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: ever forgive him for putting me through this when I

85
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: was just recently starting to do relatively well. So fuck

86
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: him for that, and fuck you and on and fuck

87
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green for ruining my dad. Even though I've

88
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: definitely felt like it, I don't think getting physical would

89
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: do any good at all. I instead try to remind

90
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: him to look back at the texts I sent when

91
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: I was sure the shooter was about to enter our classroom.

92
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: I asked him to look me in the eyes and

93
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: still argue I'm able to fake what I wrote in

94
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: those messages, But no luck. End quote. So that was

95
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: a post from a lad who survived a school shooting

96
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: and is now being accused by his own dad of

97
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: being some kind of crisis actor, some kind of fraud

98
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: thanks to the insanity of Q and On. This Stoneman

99
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Douglas shooting survivor is having to relive the trauma of

100
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: the massacre over and over again via his own father.

101
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, that post is from the Q and

102
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: On Casualties board. This subredit has been incredibly sad to

103
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: read through whilst doing my research for this episode, but

104
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: it's something that has to be done to really gauge

105
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: an idea of how destructive Q and on can be.

106
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: I spoke to one of the key moderators of the

107
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: Q and On Casualties board. He's known online as Poker Politics.

108
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: He had a lot to say on the ways that

109
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: Q and on has helped destroy whole families. Okay, so

110
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: first of all, give us an idea of what exactly

111
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Q Casualties is. Why was it set up well? And

112
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: Casualties was a subredit. There was kind of an offshoot

113
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: from what was called cult Headquarters, which was the separatedit

114
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: where people were going to make memes making fun of

115
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 1: Q and Q and on reporting on that kind of stuff,

116
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: and then somebody else started it as a more serious

117
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: um support group for family and friends who have had

118
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: people get into Q and on and become a different

119
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: person and basically strange relationships that were happening. So it

120
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: was a place it wasn't There wasn't much to it,

121
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: and that was just what we were going for, making

122
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: a support group for uh again, family and friends who

123
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: had someone get into Q and on and now they

124
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: they're not who they were before. Then COVID hit and

125
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: there was the lockdown, and suddenly the forum just becomes

126
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: huge because so many people are getting exposed to all

127
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: this misinformation and going down the rabbit hole of Q

128
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: and on, and then their family and friends are trying

129
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: to figure out what's happening to them, and then they

130
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 1: find our forum, and it just it really became terrible

131
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: that we became so popular is what basically happened. And

132
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: it was at this point that because of what we

133
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: were doing and because of Q and On's popularity, media

134
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: and other people started looking into the forum and talking

135
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: to us. Basically, at that point, the moderators were like, well,

136
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: we we just sort of started to set this up

137
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: as a as a support group, as a way to

138
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: meet other people dealing with this problem. We're not really

139
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: into Q and on, we're not really um people that

140
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: understand that movement. And I'm like, well I do. At

141
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: this point, Poker Politics essentially became the paman for the

142
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: Q and On Casualties Board as more journalist media people

143
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: started to get in touch with them. The reason he

144
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: knew more about Q and on than the other motivators

145
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: is because he too was once sucked into conspiracy theories.

146
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: I grew up basically as a conspiracy theorist. I was

147
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: in school, I was obsessed of the assassination of Raf Kennedy.

148
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: I was a nine eleven truther or for a period

149
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: of time in my life. And then when I got

150
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: out of that, I started looking at it from the

151
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: other side, and I was like, why do people believe

152
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: in these things? Why did I believe in these things?

153
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: And then and this led me to following the Illuminati

154
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: New World Order stuff on the internet and all the

155
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: websites about that. And then I started hearing about Q

156
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: and On in two thousand eighteen, and it was just

157
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: getting so big and there was so much buzz around it,

158
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: and I knew it was just the Illuminati story that

159
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: I've been hearing for decades, and I was like, I

160
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: was why is why is this breaking through? When the

161
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: Illuminati story remained really kind of niche and wasn't that

162
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: uh big in the mainstream. So I started digging into

163
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: Q and On to try to find out what it

164
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: was going on about it, and then I saw how

165
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: they had tied the Illuminati story to Donald Trump. As

166
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: the hero, how he was going to save the world,

167
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: and you were now mingling mainstream American politics and with

168
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: the niche conspiracy theory. And it was at that point

169
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: that I was like, well, now I gotta get on

170
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: social media. I gotta get more active, I gotta start

171
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: engaging on this. Okay, So let's talk about some of

172
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: the cases or the situations you've seen through being a

173
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: moderator on the Q and on Casualties Board. What have

174
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: you actually seen? What has Q and on done to

175
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: some of these families that go there um to talk

176
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: about it. The stories are always just like so tragic

177
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: because this person finds something that seems to be innocuous

178
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: and they started talking about it, and then after that

179
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: happens for a couple of weeks and then it gets

180
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: then it gets even weirder and worse, and then you

181
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: eventually get into the the are people bad people are pedophiles,

182
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: They're bad people, are child trafficking. It's like the Wayfair

183
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: scandal that nonsense, and you you just see it like

184
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: take off on these people. And it's always and I

185
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: mean I wunna say it's always, but like so much

186
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: of the time the person seemed like a grounded, rational

187
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: person who would never fall for this kind of stuff.

188
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: And that's what something that always happens is like like

189
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, but my husband's so intelligent, he

190
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: would never fall for this kind of thing or whatever.

191
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: And intelligence never is a defense against this kind of

192
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: belief like this Q and on and things like it

193
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: fulfill an emotional need. They do something for a person

194
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: that they're not getting from outside sources, and you don't

195
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: see it coming and most of the time until it's

196
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: too late. I mean, unless you're with somebody all the time,

197
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: you you wouldn't notice what's going on. And that's what

198
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: makes it so jarring, is that it just feels so

199
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: sudden for so many of these people that their loved

200
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: one was one person one day, then a whole new

201
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: person the next. There comes a point where there is

202
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: no changing the situation, There is no fixing the problem right.

203
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: And why is it with Q specifically that it seems

204
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: like they can't agree to disagree, Like the wife or

205
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: the husband or whatever can't just go right. I believe

206
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: in Q. You don't know, but I'm going to shut

207
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: up about it to say this marriage or whatever, why

208
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: is it? Why does it seem that Q is just

209
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: so destructive in that regard. It's because Q is such

210
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: an aggressive movement when it comes to prosplytizing. The whole

211
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: basis of Q and On is the belief in the

212
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Great Awakening, this massive payoff that's supposed to happen. It's

213
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: some ill defined point in the future when all the

214
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: bad guys get arrested and Donald Trump saves the world.

215
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: And one of the beliefs about the Great Awakening is

216
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: awakening people that when you become a part of Q

217
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: and On, it's your h You now have a mission

218
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: to recruit more people into Q and On. You have

219
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: to grow the community to help trigger the Great Awakening.

220
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: And so they and they're on the chains and all

221
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: these social media platforms, they have guides on how to

222
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: manipulate people, how to rope them in, how to lure

223
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: them into the movement. So it becomes it's a um,

224
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: it's imperative that you get your friends and family to

225
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: believe because that's the only way we can win and

226
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: defeat the deep state. So you just really, uh can't

227
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: uh have a live and let live attitude when you're

228
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: dealing with a a family member or a friend who

229
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: is a Q and on supporter. There's always a part

230
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: of them that's gonna want to pull you in. They

231
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: it's very hard for them to not be uh, for

232
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: them to be quiet, because they've been told by their

233
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: community and the people who are now effectively like their

234
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: new family. You gotta get more people. You gotta get

235
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: your wife, you gotta get your you gotta get your kids,

236
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: you gotta get your parents. You got to bring people

237
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: in because the only way we can undo the brainwashing

238
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: of Bill Gates and George Sorrows and all the bad

239
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: guys is by getting superior numbers to them, right right,

240
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: got you, um to to really kind of give our

241
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: listeners an idea of how serious this is. Um, maybe

242
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: just give us a specific example without exposing anyone of

243
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: how Q and on has really shout at someone's family. Um.

244
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: There was a report about a month ago of a

245
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: husband and wife who were in a custody battle and

246
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: that when the wife had a custody of the children, uh,

247
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: she killed them. And it was because she believed that

248
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: the entire city was involved in a child sex trafficking

249
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: ring and that the children were going to be abducted

250
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: at some point and sold into this bondage. And on

251
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: the Q and On Casualties for or UM, someone posted

252
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: a message to that headline and said, this was Q

253
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: and On. I am a family member, but I want

254
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: to remain anonymous about it. But the this is I'm

255
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm a relative of the husband. I know the wife,

256
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: I know the mental issue she was going through and

257
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: this is what drove her to this and that's that.

258
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: So and again it's a it's a message on the internet.

259
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: Take it with a grain of salt and all that stuff.

260
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: But the reporting that came out about what the woman

261
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: believed about the massive child trafficking community and all that stuff,

262
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it fits the narrative of Q and On.

263
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's exactly what they believe or what

264
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: they subscribed to. Whilst we weren't able to completely verify

265
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: that horrific situation explained to us there by poker politics.

266
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: There have been several other shootings that have Q and

267
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: On firmly at their periphery. To be frank at this stage,

268
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: is not at all surprising that someone with serious mental

269
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: health issues, spurred on by a Q and On would

270
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: take things too far and commit murder and as we

271
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: just heard for the last twenty minutes people all across

272
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: America choosing to destroy their families in favor of an

273
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: internet conspiracy theory. I don't think there's ever been something

274
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: this divisive and vicious to come entirely from the Internet

275
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: with no evidence whatsoever and become this wide spread. Remember again,

276
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: there are hundreds of thousands of Q and on supporters

277
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: on the most extreme end of it. Q and on

278
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: pulls people away from their families the same way a

279
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: cultic church does, only there is no church, nor building,

280
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: nor base nor headquarters. It's all done online. So to

281
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: escape such a cult, all one has to do really

282
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: is log off. But they can't. It's as if they're addicted.

283
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: It seems that in reality, the so called storm that

284
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: Q and on predicted is coming was actually the destruction

285
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: that it has caused to so many people's lives. For some,

286
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: it's turning from an online conspiracy theory into a dangerous

287
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: mass delusion. Q Clearance is brought to you by I
