1/ Whelp QAnon has found some more Hopeium to explain how the plan will come to fruition so let me break down how an influencer is explaining this to his followers.
2/ They now think that Trump was not running for just another 4 year election in 2016, rather Trump was approached by military intelligence to run and his entire win has been and still is a military operation. (so far this is canon)
3/ They believe that the start of the plan was for Trump "to drain the lower swamp" in the first 4 years. The swamp composed of every industry: banking, movie, pharmaceutical, food, you name it they controlled it; but Trump has handled most of it in 4 years.
4/ Why have there been no arrest? Well they believe that Barack Obama before leaving office signed an executive order to pardon anyone of any crimes they commited prior to Trump coming into office. "This is why no one was held accountable when the Trump took office."
5/ The main enemies of QAnon could not be tried for their crimes prior to Trump (Hillary email scandal, Clinton Foundation, FISA spying on the Trump campaign). They can only be tried for crimes committed after Trump was in office.
6/ Therefore, new crimes had to be discovered. This is what the military has been doing with Trump and Qteam for 4 years "they have been catching these deep state actors in the act committing crimes and collecting evidence."
7/ QAnon are turning to what Trump said in his speech on January 7"there will be a smooth, orderly transition of power.” Because there was no mention of Joe Biden. Rather they will see the realization of the plan and their coming golden age: which is the end of democracy
8/ "We are transitioning from the defunct USA Corp to the Republic (not Biden). Trump will not technically get a “second term” and as he tweeted, “won’t be at the Inauguration Day in January”. "
9/ What does this mean to QAnon? Well "This means there won’t be an Inauguration Day. This was the last recorded term of a President who served in the “American Corporation”.""
10/ Well HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE YOU ASK?!? Well of course there is an answer: They believe that Trump dismantled the Banking Act of 1781 from England. The US is going back to being a Republic & Trump will be the first President of the new republic with the Constitution fully intact
11/ At this point even I am confused and not really following, but basically they believe that they will be returning to some pure constitutional republic that was pure and perfect in 1776. So where does it go from this?
12/ They believe that March 4, 2021is the start for the new Republic. March 4 was the start date of the new President until it was changed in 1933. Why do they believe all of this? Well at the end of his Jan 7 speech Trump said “Our incredible journey is only just beginning.”
13/ QAnon obviously latched on to that statement and the are using it to provide hope tot heir movement that No matter what it looks like in the media it is all about optics; be cause the Military and Qteam have thought of everything.
14/ They are still believing the disinformation pushed by Trump, Powell, Wood and Watkins that Trump won an overwhelming victory and will be the President. Additionally, they are still pushing the narrative that certifying a fraudulent election as Pence & Congress did is treason.
15/ Now get ready for some legal witchcraft: QAnon is waiting for Trump to invoke the insurrection act. Trump is still the President of the US until January 20 and he has the capacity to invoke this act, to deal with the traitors in a military tribunal.
16/ But Marc-André why has he not done so yet? What is he waiting for? Well my readers as QAnon influencers are explaining it the insurrection act involves the military and the people would have accused him of being a dictator.
17/ Trump has given everybody ample opportunity to come clean regarding the fraudulent election: the Supreme Court, DOJ, congress, and the VP. Their fake insurrection carried out by ANTIFA/BLM is the nail in the coffin Trump needed to not be seen as a dictator.
18/ QAnon influencers are saying to the adherents not to underestimate Trump and this military operation. Apparently, "Trump often appears weak before he wins (read The Art of the Deal)." Because that is a military operation strategy manual duh.
19/ They further explain that Big tech banning the President gives the President the opportunity to use the Emergency Broadcast System he set up in 2018 to contact all Americans for what they will need to hear regarding the next steps for the Republic.
20/ Their final message is that Trump has all the evidence he needs, he will never surrender and the best is yet to come so do not watch the MSM, don't give up and keep the faith... as I have said many many times it is not about evidence but faith for QAnon.
21/ Their faith is not in America, it's not in Democracy it's in Trump & Q. They objective is to destroy democratic institutions. Will they show up to upcoming protests probably not en masse as these protests are ANTIFA deep state traps. But after Jan 20, after march 4 who knows.

1/ In the Michael Butter book I read Saturday he made some interesting points. Up to the 1950s, in the West, conspiracy theories were regarded and completely legitimate forms of knowledge whose underlying assumptions were beyond question ( it was normal to believe in them)
2/ Following WWII conspiracy theories were delegitimized in the USA and EU causing conspiracists knowledge to be banished from public discourse and relegated to the fringe, which is not surprising considering the events of WWII.
3/ What we have seen in the past 15-20 years is a renaissance of conspiracy theories that is aligned with he rise of populist movement as there are parallels between the way that populists and conspiracy theorist argue and whom they target/perceive as the enemy.
There are some excellent points in this piece: 1) "the new emerging groups of individuals are devoid of the command-and-control apparatuses that CT practitioners typically seek to disrupt." It's important for realise that we are dealing with a different CT beast.t
The tools kits and some of the lessons learned from IS and AQ are not transferable. There is plenty of excellent work in far-right extremism, it just needs to be teased out to build CT toolkits for our modern threats.
As it is brought up in the brief 2) "But this new collection of terrorist adversaries possesses few of the attributes that proved so vulnerable to CT actions." We cannot speak of the FR in absolute terms, we're all guilty of it at times, this space is amorphous and changing
1/ Linked together, there are two tracts that QAnon influencers were pushing today in coordination. A) This is all part of the plan and the military is still on Trumps side and they will make sure Biden (compromised by China will not become president).
2/ The have also warned about many false flag events that are planned for this week & are asking "patriots/anons" not to attend anything this week. Basically the protests aren't part of the plan. QAnon adherents ask asked for rust the plan as it has been set forth & promised by Q
3/ This is linked to the prophetic role "Q" plays in the movement, not only as a government insider with access to the president and intelligence, but also as someone who has access to time travel and who is being guided by God in this battle between good and evil.
So I am not convinced that this was "planned" in the traditional sense. There is a difference imo between the individual who came with nylon cuffs, vs those who stole items, vs the one who smeared shit on the wall, vs those who were there for the gram.
As @travis_view mentioned the threat made by the QAnon adherent is from a Qdrop. Now belief in QAnon is ideologically linked to anti-government narratives and promotes violences as a solution whereby all QAnon enemies will be arrested and executes
I do not think that this individual had any idea he would be making his way into Capitol Hill when he arrived in DC. However, an opportunity to do so presented itself to him and he took it.
151/ yous need more that just quantitative findings to analyze a movement like QAnon, without a qualitative assessment you will miss some important elements as I highlighted here
1/ I hate doing this because I'm not into twitter spats but let's go because comments like this are problematic. When making comments about QAnon at least try and read the articles written about it before the last month, which almost always link to that FBI bulletin.
2/ Most of the community that has been researching & observing QAnon prior to its mainstreaming, have been saying they are a threat to public safety.
However extremism and radicalization are not neat boxes ctc.usma.edu/the-qanon-cons…
3/ calling it a Russian op without real evidence is extremely problematic and you might as well be playing for the other side as it amplifies the image of the foreign boogeyman. That link to Russian accounts. 4
