THREAD: This week in QAnon, 5-12 September

These are last week's biggest posts in QAnon communities, which will hopefully give us an idea of the narratives QAnon believers are focusing on during the campaign and also the social media numbers they get despite ongoing restrictions
The biggest post of the week is a #SaveOurChildren Facebook post by rapper StatikG, who is a believer in QAnon. The post was shared 165,000 times
This post, shared on a QAnon Facebook page, urges all the "digital soldiers" to shop at Hobby Lobby. It has 64,000 shares
Next is a Facebook post by "Scotty the Kid", who as we learnt from the latest episode of @QanonAnonymous, is the brains behind the global #SaveOurCildren rallies. This video about Holloywood trying to "normalise pedophilia" has 900,000 views and 16,000 shares
This Instagram album by a major QAnon influencer is an attempt to prove in 5 minutes that 9/11 was an "inside job". It has over 100,000 views and 10,000 likes
This video tweet shows an OAN White House correspondent explaining how George Soros wants "mass vaccinations", among other things. It has 214,000 views, 9,300 retweets and 13,600 likes
This Instagram clip shows the moment in last Saturday's "Save Our Children" rally in central London when the crowd chanted "shame on you" outside the Disney store on Oxford Street. It has 141,000 views
This conspiratorial video, shared by a QAnon Facebook page, explains how "the Reckefellers and Rothschilds" own and run the banks and the global financial system. I'm sure you've comes across these claims before. It has over 100,000 views and 3,200 shares
Finally, we have this Instagram post by Liz Crokin which is aimed at Chrissy Teigen, one of the best-known targets of QAnon believers. The post has 12,300 likes

Videos and photos are starting to emerge from today's QAnon-inspired "Save Our Children" march in central London. I'd say the number of people attending seems to be a bit higher than two weeks ago. Once again, young women are at the forefront of the march
Unsurprisingly, the Disney store on Oxford Street was met with chants of "shame on you". QAnon followers believe Disney is part of the cabal and heavily involved in child kidnapping and trafficking. Needless to say there's absolutely no evidence for this
A few "Pizzagate" photos from the London march near Parliament Square. A few other "Save Our Children" marches were held in other parts of the UK today too. If you came across one in your town or city, please DM me your photos/videos. QAnon is spreading at speed here

BREAKING: Facebook has removed a new network of 2 pages and 13 fake accounts linked to the Russian troll farm, the Internet Research Agency (IRA), which was in the early stages of building its audience. It primarily focused on the US, UK, Algeria and Egypt
about.fb.com/news/2020/09/a…
The network created personas with fake names and AI-generated profile photos, who posed as news
editors from various countries, including the US. It posted content in English and Arabic, and had achieved 14,000 followers and spent around $480 on ads before being take down
The second network is also interesting. Made up of 42 Facebook pages and 36 Instagram accounts and with 509,000 followers, it was a foreign interference campaign run by US-based
strategic communications firm CLS Strategies targeting Venezuela, Mexico and Bolivia

This flag was waved at today's Trafalgar Square rally against Covid-19 measures which featured David Icke, Piers Corbyn and Kate Shemirani
Another Q sign can be seen here, as protesters marched towards Downing Street. This wasn't meant to be a QAnon rally. But some believers still turned up
And there are more QAnon banners and signs in this thread by @JoeMulhall_

This week in QAnon, 22-29 August: I'm starting a weekly thread of the biggest posts in QAnon communities, which will hopefully give us an idea of the narratives QAnon believers are focusing on during the campaign and also the numbers they get on social media despite restrictions
The most popular QAnon post this week is one of the biggest I've seen in the time I've been checking QAnon communities. It's a #SaveOurChildren Facebook meme posted three days after the company took action against more than 700 QAnon groups and 100 pages. It has 120,000 shares
Next is a TikTok video by a young QAnon activist who claims Billie Eilish "symbolises everything satanic to our youth" and has "666 on her head". It also claims Joe Biden is "part of a satanic cult and a huge paedophile sex-trafficking ring".
It has 220,000 views.

BREAKING: Facebook has removed some of the biggest QAnon public groups with nearly 600,000 members in total over the weekend. This includes "QAnon News & Updates", the biggest of all QAnon groups on Facebook with 215,000 members. Let's look at the groups taken down one by one
Next one is "QARMY, QANON and all things Q related". The last time I looked, the gorup had 60,000 members. Its content generated over 1.1 million interactions (shares, likes, comments, reactions) just this year
Next group that's vanished this weekend is "QAnon News" with just over 50,000 members. The group's content had generated more than 500,000 interactions this year

A few notes from the "save our children" London rally today: About 500 people there, most of them young women, the vast majority thought Covid-19 was either a hoax or massively overblown, were opposed to masks, and repeated QAnon claims about a global cabal of child abusers
From the footage I've seen on Facebook so far, rallies were held in 10 other UK cities and towns today: Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newport, Huddersfield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Aberdeen and Dundee. If you were at any of these marches, please DM me
If you're not familiar with how QAnon believers hijacked #SaveTheChildren after Twitter cracked down on their favourite terms and hashtags, read this thread from a couple of weeks ago
