WEBVTT - QAnon Goes Underground 

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Q and On is now the most prolific online conspiracy

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>theory of the twenty one century. None of their predictions

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>came true. Q has vanished and the storm never came,

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>but Q and on is still alive. I'm Jake Hanrahan

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>and this is Series two of Q Clearance, a podcast

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>shedding light on the ongoing Q and on conspiracy theory.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>This is a production of Kudata Media and I Heart Radio.

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>In the last episode, we spoke about the January six

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 1>storming of the Capitol Building and how that was heavily

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>tied to Q and On. We heard how many Q

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>followers literally posted footage of themselves committing federal crimes on

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>social media, often even using Q and on hashtags and

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>mottoes such as where we go One, we Go All

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:05.119
<v Speaker 1>and hashtag us the Plan. After it was clear that

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the Capitol Building rioters were in deep shit and largely

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>connected to Q, major social media companies launched a sweeping

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>set of restrictions against anyone promoting Q and on. Specifically,

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the major players were banned, deleted, and removed from platforms

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Of course, these tech

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>giants made themselves out to be holier than thou by

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 1>doing this. But don't forget they allowed Q and on

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to thrive before deciding to collectively take action. But take

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>action they did. Some of the largest Q and on

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>personalities had hundreds of thousands of followers. They lost their

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>accounts overnight, and so did the most vocal Q and

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>ons on social media, even if they only had a

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>small following. So within the space of eight weeks, Q vanished,

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>posting his last drop on December eight, Trump lost the election,

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>and Q and ons were removed from social media. At

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 1>this point when it was absolutely clear that Qu's plan

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 1>was all a hoax. The plan was never gonna happen.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Many Q and On's lost faith. We'll talk about that

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>in another episode, but today we're focusing on the t

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and On's that didn't lose faith, the ones who doubled down.

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>They refused to accept the feet, and ironically, they then

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>found themselves in the perfect spot to take their conspiracy

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>theories to new levels of absolute madness. Banished from all

0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream social media sites, Q followers locked to the

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>instant messaging app Telegram. Essentially, they went underground. It's here

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>where Q and on has taken on a new, even

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>stranger form. Now, before we go into that, first, let's

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.119
<v Speaker 1>talk about Telegram. You might use it yourself. I do,

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>most journalists have it. It's a lot like WhatsApp, but

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the sales pitch amongst users is often that it's more

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>cryptographically secure. It's also not owned by Facebook, as WhatsApp is,

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and therefore it isn't in favor of deeply on democratic

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>censorship like Facebook is. Now. Because of this, there have

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>been some extremely over dramatic takes written about Telegram. Some

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>journalists have even claimed it's an app for the far right.

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>That's really not quite accurate. As I've said, Telegram is

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a messaging app where you can create your own channels

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>or groups, which basically like chat rooms. You can add people,

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>people can subscribe, you can broadcast information, or you can

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>allow everyone to talk whatever however you want to do it,

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>There are many options. Telegram, for the most part, adheres

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to free speech in an absolutist kind of way and

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>is therefore pretty much open to everyone. There are very

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.799
<v Speaker 1>few rules. Really. Now, does that mean that neo Nazis,

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>racists and other horrific scumbags can use this app? Yes?

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>And if that shocks you. All I can say is

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the Internet. Telegram is not, however, only used

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>by the worst people in our society, those people I

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>just mentioned. Telegram is also used by activists living in

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 1>authoritarian regimes and a kiss militant groups. I follow a

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>group of them. I've seen them on there a few times.

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Journalists throughout the world, loads all over the place putting

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>in information. There were news aggregators, leftist media organizations, many,

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 1>many varying different people and facets of society are using Telegram.

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Telegram is simply a tool, and as I mentioned, it's

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>one Q and On's when absolutely wild with and they

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>still are now. Trust me, I do not work for Telegram.

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't particularly care about Telegram who runs it. I

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to get that out of the way so

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>people understand that this is just a messaging app that

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.039
<v Speaker 1>was already there. The Q and Ons they migrated onto

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it because you know, when they were kicked off of

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>social media, they needed a place to go. So many

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>different channels popped up on Telegram to take on what

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>we're in a way que and on refugees if you like.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw a few of them referring to themselves as that, which,

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>depending on some of their political views, is quite ironic.

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>They needed to the somewhere, though, and they wanted to

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 1>talk to each other, talk about the plan. Keep it

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>moving now. I've been following a few of these channels,

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and to give you an idea of what they're about,

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>here's some content from one that has over one and

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand subscribers. Brace yourself for this. This is pretty

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>much a standard message from this group. By the way,

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>it's wild, okay, so quote President Trump, Pompeo, Miller, Coms

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and more popcorn emoji. Trump's statement on Afghanistan troops plus

<v Speaker 1>a gate coming very soon to a fear near you?

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Rats running timing is everything. Enjoy the show. Trump's statement

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the same thing as Islam. Pompeo to a right to

<v Speaker 1>is the truth Trump, It's going to take a little

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>while to show pertaining to showing Pedo Biden's anti American policies.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't fun help by the way, that's exactly how

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it's written there. Very weird, Flynn. We need to renew

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>our faith in God. The truth is going to come out,

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Ben Carson. We need to have strong beliefs to whether

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the storm that's coming, keep the faith we will win.

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>End quote and breathe. As you can see, it is

0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>absolute madness, but this does make sense to the people

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>in the group. Along with this message is over ten

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>different images and videos. The images are mostly screenshots from

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>various different que drops and Trump's statements. On the screenshot,

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>someone has tried to decode secret messages that are clearly

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>not there. There are arrows of different colors pointing here, there,

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and everywhere. There are numbers, labels. Is all a massive

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 1>mess It's like Robert Langdon on meth and fair amine.

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of them are still going along with this.

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>There are many comments on this saying yeah, we're gonna

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 1>win where we go, one we go all we know

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the truth, that sort of thing they think. They're still

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>moving ahead with the so called plan. Being on telegram

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>has effectively lead the most hardcore of the hardcore Q

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and Ons to each other all in one place. Something

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>interesting that seems to be happening now as well is

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>how they're all being coaxed into even more extremist ideologies

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>on telegram. Actual neo Nazis are coordinating with each other

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and infiltrating Q and on Telegram group chats, trying to

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.719
<v Speaker 1>push a more extremist ideology in the midst of the

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>madness of Q. I spoke to an independent researcher and

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>journalist named Matt Taylor who has been investigating various far

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>right groups on telegram. He's witnessed firsthand how they're trying

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to turn Q and On's into something even more grotesque. Basically,

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you've seen like more far right groups kind of what

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to recruit from Q and on or what like

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>what are they doing? I think they're from what I'm seeing,

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 1>it looks like they're either trying to recruit from Q

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and On or use Q and on as a sort

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>of vehicle for accelerationism, specifically the groups I monitor on

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>there they are accelerationists in nature and they see Q

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and on. So they see Q and on as a

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 1>larp basically, right, Um, Like, they see it as nonsense

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and they see it as sort of a just a

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>way that's like creating even more I guess diversion amongst

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>the right. So you mean like these these more hardline

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>far right groups, they look at Q and on they're like,

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>these people are idiots, but we can use it to

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>our advantage of basically yeah, yeah, exactly that they I mean,

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>they even they'll say it. They're like, yeah, it's absolutely

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a psio, but we can use this. And how do

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>they use it? They use it by going in like

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>you'll see, um, one of the members of the Chats

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>forward a Q and on group and be like, hey, guys,

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>let's go in here. Look at what I said here

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>about Jewish people. Let's really try to push that point. Like,

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.839
<v Speaker 1>so they're really trying to push the anti Semitism even further.

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.719
<v Speaker 1>And also like Holocaust denial, praise for Hitler, pretty much

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>anything in that sort of vein. They're really trying to

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>push that in these groups. And I think it's easier

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>for them to do it on Telegram because there's not

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>really a there's not really a risk of getting banned,

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, Like on Facebook, it would be really hard

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>for them to do that because groups get banned very quickly. UM.

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 1>And videos and articles and all that stuff about like

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Holocaust denial UM usually at least from what I've seen,

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>get banned pretty quickly. Yeah. I mean they're going in

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>there too for infiltration purposes, just to like, like I said,

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.439
<v Speaker 1>whether it be or whether it be for a recruitment,

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>or just to like further like poke and prod Q

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and On into acting on some of these beliefs and everything. Yeah,

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And how effective are they that you seeing Q and

0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 1>On pushing back saying no, you know it because a

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of Q and On, you know, as insane as

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>they were and as right wing as they were, they

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>won't all far right or racist at the start, you know,

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>as much as the media wanted to portray them as that,

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 1>they a lot of them actually won't. You know, they're

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>very lost, in my opinion, but they weren't all racists

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. Um. Are you seeing like pushback

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>from them or are they kind of getting with it now?

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Things are getting a little bit more bizarre in the ideology.

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>There's pushback in these channels, but I mean there's also

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 1>people saying like, oh, can you send me more resources

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>on that? That's really interesting. I've never thought of that before.

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a pretty dangerous place to get into

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>because they are taking like somebody will drop in a

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>a bit shoot link to like a Hitler documentary and say, hey,

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you know Hitler is not the bad guy or wasn't

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the bad guy here? He was actually doing good, And

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, some people will be like, well, no, he

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 1>was terrible, And then other people are like, wait, wait,

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>wait a second, I want to get can I see

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>some more information on that? Like that's kind of iopenning,

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.959
<v Speaker 1>and that's I don't know. I just think that's a

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>very dangerous place or to the ant because it's you know,

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>not they're not accepting it, but they're not necessarily rejecting

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it either, and that's a slippery place to be, you know. Yeah,

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I think not completely immediately rejecting Nazism is

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>quite a step towards it exactly. And it's um I

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>think The issue with Q and On being on telegram

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>is I mean not to say that the anti Semitism

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.679
<v Speaker 1>hasn't always been there. It's you know, it's always been

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>there in some degree, but it seems more pronounced, at

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.839
<v Speaker 1>least from my point of view, on telegram. As like

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 1>I said, they don't have to worry about that band.

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>But one of these groups I monitor, one of these

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>like blatantly far right, like neo Nazi groups, were like, hey, guys,

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 1>go into this Q and on channel right now. They're

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 1>so demoralized you can pretty much say whatever you want.

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.439
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to push back. He's like, I've been

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>saying too semitic stuff all day long and they're not

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.719
<v Speaker 1>pushing back at all. It's great. And it's not just

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>like they're not just doing it on telegram right Like

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll see um like even like Pole on four Chune,

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.439
<v Speaker 1>like the poll board, like they'll they'll be like, hey, guys,

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I posted this and this guy replied this. Can you

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>guys help me come up with a reply to him

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>to try to like pill this guy even further. And

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>so you'll have like two or three people be like, hey,

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you should say this, or you should say this. And

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 1>it kind of like create this like Frankenstein's monster of

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a response and put it on the board or whatever,

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>and they do the same thing, and the Q and

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>On chats as well. Um, So that's that's the thing

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to consider. When you see like somebody say something like

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>super anty semitic or like full on like Nazi talking points,

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>it might not just be from that one person. It

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>might be from like a few people kind of collaborating

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>on a response. So it seems that now Q and

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>on is going to underground. It's being infiltrated by people

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>who want to make it more extreme. Out of sight,

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>out of mind. For some however, this could have a

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>potentially catastrophic reaction later down the road. What's more, the

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Q and On ideology is evolving or devolving, depending on

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>how you look at it. Since Trump lost the election,

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>they've sort of broken off into two separate but also

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes converging threads of thought. On one hand, there's the

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>stop the Steel side of things, a concept the Trump

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>family has promoted. Stop the Steel refers to the belief

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that the election was stolen from Trump by a deep

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:45.239
<v Speaker 1>state operation to rig voting machines. In Joe Biden's favor.

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 1>This has been promoted heavily by eight chan's Ron Watkins,

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>one of two men I believe was running the Q

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>account for the most part of last year, as we

0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>documented in series one. Then, on the other hand, there's

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots are in control side of things. This is

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the theory that actually Joe Biden's victory was allowed to

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>happen by Trump and Q. The idea is that Q

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and Trump are secretly in control. They genuinely believe that

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the Q team is working behind the scenes allowing everything

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to happen as it is as a means of allowing

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 1>these so called bad guys to expose their evils further. Then,

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>they still believe Trump will swoop in and take over.

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>They believe that only then will there be enough evidence

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to show everyone that Queue was right all along. Essentially,

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 1>they've shifted the goalposts to convince themselves and other people

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>that this is all still part of the plan. They

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>then think a new cuebact economic reform called Nassari take

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>hold when Trump comes back. Will be covering that in

0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 1>detail in the future episode. One of the most add

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and Q and On supporters that I've been watching for

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:07.160
<v Speaker 1>years now is a man named Craig Mason. He had

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>a large following on YouTube before his channel was shut

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>down by them. Craig is one of the most optimistic, chirpy,

0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and very naive Quanns out there. Mason honestly seems like

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.879
<v Speaker 1>without all of this nonsense, he'd probably be a genuinely

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>fun guy to grab a drink with. He's not as

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 1>embedded in the nastiness, perhaps as many of the other

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Quanns are. Unfortunately, he is completely and utterly wrapped up

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 1>in Q still. I watched one of his recent videos

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 1>on bits you a YouTube clone that is next to

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>no community rules. This is what he had to say

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.879
<v Speaker 1>on one of his live streams. This was recorded January twelve,

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:58.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. He's reading an old Q drop from November one, seventeen.

0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 1>This is something a lot of the Q no ons

0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.680
<v Speaker 1>are doing now that Q has vanished. They're reading over

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>old Q drops and quote decoding them to retroactively give

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:14.479
<v Speaker 1>them meaning to what's currently happening now. So before before

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump was voted out of office, they were saying, Okay,

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>this is what Q is saying, this is the plan

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 1>that is coming up. Now they're saying, actually, Q was

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 1>giving us a code to deal with ourselves once he vanishes.

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 1>When Trump is removed from office, it's quite unhinged. Have

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 1>a listen. Okay, So how about this for a little

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>potential decode action of an interesting post. If we look

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>at this here, four carries and escorts in the Pacific,

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>why is that relevant to prevent other state actors from

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 1>attempting to harm us during this transition old transition or

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:55.359
<v Speaker 1>transitioning to a new administration, a second administration probably Trump,

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.119
<v Speaker 1>I think largely at the time, and everything is happening,

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 1>not increased military movement. We've seen an increase military movement.

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Note and g National Guard deployment is starting tomorrow. Our

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 1>National Guard deployment is going to start on Wednesday. We've

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 1>already seen that they're making movements in Washington, d C.

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Note ffs, they're trying follow humor. I don't know. Human

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 1>is prepared messages of reassurance based and what was dropped

0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.399
<v Speaker 1>here to spread in different platforms. This has got to

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>be it, right, This has got to be it. This

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>has got to be it. What other timing can it be?

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>The inauguration is in nine days, and I really think

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>beyond that, it's got to be now Momophor procsven versus,

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel that my bones something is dropping. I could

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.880
<v Speaker 1>not agree more. Andy Girls says, how the heck did

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 1>did you know this would all happen? I mean it

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>is so spotted spot on it's insane. I know right,

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.679
<v Speaker 1>It's been planned for many years. So there we have it.

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 1>As you can hear, they are desperately holding onto this

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>idea that Q is alive and kicking planning and will

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:04.359
<v Speaker 1>eventually turn. It's actually quite sad to listen to Q

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.399
<v Speaker 1>and On has not gone away. It's just gone underground,

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and now it's more outlandish and potentially dangerous than ever.

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.080
