Financial Times sounds like a garbage "journalism" outlet using a respectable generic sounding name.

In 2018 Q said to keep an eye on 2 guys, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, and Kash Patel. Today Trump appointed them to senior positions in the national security apparatus.

Ezra appears to be running a twitter account which is possibly poised to replace Q, in cooperation with a woman called Lisa Clapier/"Snow White"). Lisa, along with a guy called Thomas Schoenberger, seems to have been part of the Q movement from the beginning, bringing their experience with games like Cicada 3301, along with spiritual ascension / cult like tactics. Characters like Sean Stone and Robert David Steel also complement the whole thing.

Thomas Schoenberger was also in Turkey taking meetings around the same time as Flynn, who has of course been an instrumental figure in Q from the beginning. Bannon has also now openly amplified the message.

The TEDxMid Atlantic video goes into a lot more detail.

The FT video is a high quality production from a reputable outlet.

Which is more likely: that some folks making decisions are in on Q and have lists of names to "keep in mind" that date back to 2018, or that we are dealing with a human who can literally see multiple years into the future but couldn't predict rona?

"incomprehensible"

Oh and Brandy Zadrozny is a respected established journalist from NBC who (along with CNN) has connected part of the COVID disinformation scheme, , to the Hunter Biden Laptop scheme and the Pizzagate scheme.

And Evan McMullins is a former CIA ops officer and GOP policy director, who believes that "Rather than a mere accidental creation of conspiracy amateurs, QAnon is an alternative reality created by disgruntled former U.S. intelligence officers, YouTubers, and serial scammers in order to ensure the loyalty of Trump's base, cover for Russia, and support Michael Flynn."

That's the narrative that Trump, Flynn, Q, and OANN have tried very hard to push, certainly. Reality is of course quite different:

I felt the same when they yelled it about the Wall Street Journal which is literally owned by Murdoch! I guess the internet has made any source equivalent to everything else so they don't see a column from a respected paper because they respect random assholes blogs at the same level. They just want to read agreement and anything else is Marx himself chuckling behind a keyboard.

And, welcome back Bucky! I hope we don't go back to pages of arguing on your right to post but please also temper your content and length. I think you add well as long as you stay focused like you did on this page. Nobody wants this thread being people mad at you :).

Regarding the two Q's who got appointed; I've expected to see "fuckit" type appointments in this lame duck session but can I assume these will be replaced in January or do these come with contracts and are probably not high enough on the incoming admins radar to be scrutinized as long as on the surface they're basically doing their jobs?

I mean sure if Q-Anon had lead to a large amount of arrests, the Russian's have entire agencies dedicated to doing this and pretending otherwise is very odd. How effective they are is debatable sure but the fact they are trying isn't really a secret.

Q has to reveal some of his plans ahead of time so a part of the public will be prepared for when the Storm is unleashed, and they can help all the normies weather it.

The reason why Q has to be cryptic and even false is so they don’t reveal to the cabal just how much they are onto them.

The people who know where the source actually is know it's obviously some trolling/larping/scamming.

The idiots who do believe it never fact check anything or they wouldn't be able to fall for any of it in the first place.

So they remain blissfully unaware of the source. If you did show them a screenie of the front page in all it's hideously antisemitic glory they'd probably love it since qanon is pretty much full on neonazi and/or instantly dismiss it as "fake news" if you sat one down and proved it.

Basically they don't need a reason as they are thicker than pigshit.

I think this is actually a breaking point for QAnon as a movement? Their base is either frustrated from the lack of marching orders from Q or moved on to other, wilder conspiracy theories about felt tip pens and secret election-tampering supercomputers.

This is pretty true, but it's not really the answer.

I think the idea was originally meant to be that Q is a standard deep state whistleblower like Snowden and Manning, trying to secretly get information out to people who can interpret what he's saying.

That necessarily changed as people started to read old Q drops and see in them not prediction but prophecy. At this point Q is a minor deity to these folks.

The allure is that you're part of the elect by virtue of being smarter than everyone else. The in-universe narrative is that the Storm will be a terrifying and confusing time: telecommunications shut down, government dissolved, military rule, prominent politicians and celebrities getting frogmarched to military tribunals, and the revelation of a massive ring of horrific ritual sexual abuse and treason and all sorts of poo poo that will totally disorient everyone's minds as everything they know about the world from school and media and government turns out to be lies. They will need direction, therefore the need for an army of Q Patriots who are "in the know" to calm them down and explain what's happening and prevent civil unrest and especially to prevent the cabal from using misinformation to incite revolts against a temporary benevolent military junta.

Fortunately you will be there to explain to all your dumb normie grandchildren not to be afraid and that the white hats are in control and everything will be fine, and then they'll cry and apologize for refusing to bring their boy or girlfriend around you after you called them a sheep and said they were listening to pedophile music
