THREAD: QAnon on Telegram update

A channel set up by influencer "Inevitable ET" just seven days ago has now surpassed 100K subscribers. Many other well-known Q influencers are among the subscribers.

The chat associated with it has just over 20K members and is very prolific. ImageImage
This is Ron Watkins' channel.

He created it in December, but only started posting in it on 14 January as a "backup" for his account on Gab.

Since then, he's added 115K subscribers. Image
Kraken lawyer L Lin Wood, a QAnon supporter, created his channel on 11 January, the day Parler went offline.

He is not on Gab, so this channel is his main means of communication right now.

The channel surpassed 300K subscribers today. Image
Jon Ricketts, aka "Qtah", is another influencer who created a channel right after Parler went down; in his case, on 13 January.

He has 22K susbcribers right now. Image
"Kate Awakening", another influencer well-known in the community, created this channel on 11 January.

She has 11K subscribers. Image
Major influencer Jordan Sather is not new to Telegram.

He created his channel in August, but only began actively using it in mid-October, after Facebook and YouTube banned him.

He has 28K subscribers. Image
"CJTruth" had one of the biggest QAnon accounts on Twitter, before his suspension in November.

He created this channel on 14 January, and has 27K subscribers. Image
Here's another one who had a big account on Twitter.

He got banned two days after the Capitol riots and created his channel after Parler went offline.

He has 20K subscribers. Image

There's now a fake channel on Telegram, created last night, which poses as one of the most senior generals of the US Air Force.

It's racked up 150K subscribers and is posting QAnon slogans, claiming the military will finish the job tomorrow and asking anons to stay home.
All the posts on this fake QAnon general's channel disappeared.

He first claimed to have been hacked, then deleted that post.

Now says "attacked on all social media" and "the enemy is awake".

It has 216K subscribers now.
There's another fake pro-Trump general who created a channel three days ago urging the president to overturn the election, gaining 50K subscribers.

He's now calling fake on the new general for stealing his thunder and copying his posts.

"Please unfollow that channel." Image

The violence in Washington shocked the world and caught the authorities off guard.

But for anyone who had been watching the unfolding story - online and on the streets of US cities - it came as no surprise.

We tell the story of 65 days that led to chaos.

Videos, images, graphics and claims that went viral on and after election day gave rise to a hashtag: #StopTheSteal

The message was clear - Mr Trump had won a landslide victory, but dark forces in the establishment "deep state" had stolen it from him.
bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…
A Facebook group called "Stop the Steal" was created on 4 November and became one of the fastest-growing in the platform's history, adding more than 300,000 members.

Some of the posts were alarming, speaking of the need for a "civil war" or "revolution".

BREAKING: Twitter has suspended the accounts of Ron Watkins, Sidney Powell and Michael Flynn.

Alongside L. Lin Wood, suspended yesterday, they were the most high-profile amplifiers of conspiracy theories about the election, whose tweets reached millions of Mr Trump's supporters.
All four feature prominently in a piece I'm working on about the online rhetoric and disinformation that sadly contributed to the storming of the Capitol.

In the absence of Q since election day, they became the main stars of the QAnon crowd.
It definitely looks like Twitter has finally decided to do what Facebook and YouTube did three months ago.

Major QAnon influencers are falling one after another

There was a pro-Trump "Stop the Steal" rally held in Osaka, Japan, today.

Videos suggest at least a few thousand people attended, alleging the election was stolen from Mr Trump.

There was also a "Stop the Steal" rally in Tokyo at the end of November.

A similar "Stop the Steal" rally was held in Taipei, Taiwan, yesterday.

It received widespread coverage on the social media accounts of The Epoch Times.

Here's more about the Tokyo "Stop the Steal" rally, which was held three weeks ago 👇

Now that the US Supreme Court has dismissed the case by Texas, QAnon supporters are unanimous on what must happen next.

The military getting directly involved is the only way to overturn the election, they say.

Some are even advising each other to stockpile food and ammunition.
When I say unanimous, I really mean unanimous.

Literally every major QAnon influencer and account I know is saying the military should now get involved to help overturn the election outcome.
And now Ron Watkins from 8chan/8kun says things are "teetering ever precariously" towards the military intervening to overturn the election.

Margaret Keenan, 90, born in Enniskillen and living in Coventry, became the first person to receive a Covid vaccine today.

But anti-vaxxers have been spreading conspiracies about her since.

"She actually died in 2008 and the one who was vaccinated today was a 'crisis actor'." Image
"Wasn't she coming from Coventry in the beginning??"

How could she be born in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, and later relocate to Coventry, England?

Clear proof she doesn't exist, apparently. Image
You can see her giving a "masonic hand gesture" after taking the jab which proves she's a "freemason lady" and a member of "the illuminati".

Other world leaders like Angela Merkel, also members of the illuminati, have given that hand gesture before, they claim. ImageImageImageImage
