1/There is a lot of hope and denialism going on in QAnon communities ahead of inauguration day so I will try and capture some of them throughout the day, and as the acts of President Trump are enacted and decoded for secret meanings.
2/ let's start with this: a QAnon influencer interpreted the jacket worn by Melania in her final address as "no signal texture". Meaning all communications will be shut down and Trump will use the EBS or GBS to announce the INSURRECTION act and military take over of the US Image
3/ there has been an increase in post and language that is similar to this "there is no political solution".I have mentioned regularly that if they feel the digital war is lost and Q failed they may adopt more extreme language. More and move they borrow DVE tropes. Image
4/ another common theme you may run into today is "national popcorn day" which is January 19th, but is also linked to a Q drop from 2 years ago. As part of the pardon and everything planned for today, Anons expect that today will be the big declas Image
5/ this is when all the documents will be unsealed and those who have already been tried and executed by Qteam will be revealed to us, those who have not been arrested or tries will have their crimes revealed and this will print a mass awakening of the world.
6/ you'll also run into narratives along the link of we have evidence that Biden has been arrested or Killed, he has a body double, or it's a CGI Biden that will be speaking tomorrow, or that you can see an ankle monitor or anything that may indicate he is controlled by Qteam
7/ with potential pardons that may be falling into the laps of figures in the QAnon conspiracy theory, there is a strong likelyhood that there will be a revival of a bunch of older QAnon content that Anons will have "evidence for"
8/ If you see a mention of Pompeo's tweets in Qworld, and are confused, it is likely related to QAnon believing that the timing of the Tweets of Pompeo's account is an indication of a countdown of declass/arrests/the storm.
9/ Yesterday someone created a "General Hyten" Telegram channel (he's the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
U.S. Air Force) This account (which is very likely fake). He is posting on Telegram in a similar fashion to Q warning about the upcoming use of the EBS.
10/ Within 15hrs the channel has racked up 114000 subscribers. This account has been called fake by QAnon influencers (no outside coms from 8kun from Q or Qteam) but the large amount of subscribers indicates the account has the attention of the anons & is being widely discussed
11/ I would believe that impersonating the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff U.S. Air Force is ummm illegal and a problem.
12/ One of the Questions going around is why Biden has not been arrested yet for treason? According to Qworld, Biden "needs to take the oath and be sworn in for the treason to be completed" more constitutional and legal witchcraft to keep pushing the goalpost
13/ QAnon are also paying attention to the Virginia V. Maxwell Hearing with multiple YouTube live streams being shared, The chats are filled with popcorn emojis as Anons await a massive reveal of secret Epstein files that will lead to arrests
14/ There is also a fake "Mike Pompeo" Telegram channel circulating in QAnon with someone I believe is pretending to be the US Secretary of State as I have yet to find evidence of Pompeo official stating it is his.
15/ as we stand there are individual(s) who are impersonating a Vice Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State on Telegram and trying to I fluence the QAnon community. Just a few red flags🚩
16/ there is now another Telegram channel that appears to be impersonating a general McInerney
"Political commentator and a retired United States Air Force Lieutenant General, who served in top military positions under the President of the United States and Secretary of Defense."
17/ McInerney is 83 years (not a typical Telegram user) old & is known for calling President Obama traitor and claiming false claims Obama was constitutionally unable to hold office. McInerney has made multiple public false claims according to Politifact. politifact.com/article/2021/j…
18/ after the first fake general was called out as fake by the QAnon community and deleted all his posts, the McInerney channel also called it fake saying "No member ofthe Joints Chiefs of Staff would be posting on telegram. It is aviolation ofevery basic protocol."
19/ the channels further writes "only retired individuals can speak on political commentary." And Oh look McInerney is a retired military offical. Look at all my red flags 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
20/ There has been a constant flow of Prayers in the largest QAnon chat, managed by most of the influencers. The role of Evangelicalism in QAnon US is primordial and cannot be separated from it. The religious dimension of QAnon needs to be part of any threat assessment/analysis Image
21/ Apocalypticism, millenarianism, spiritual warfare are all key elements of QAnon in the US. It is a behavioral driver of many of the adherents and it will play a role in sustaining the movement when prophecies continue to fail.
22/ Statements like this echoes strongly Revelation 14:3–5 when speaking about the 144,000. Anons perceive themselves as the selected few who have been awakened and will bring the world through the upcoming tribulations, and when the dust has settled they will lead the world Image
23/ Meaning making is not difficult when you throw spaghetti at 4953 walls built over 3 years. Eventually something will stick. QAnon continue to look for a sign of hope or a sign from Qteam in the retirement of Gina Haspel. Image
24/ It's not about "how can they believe in things that fly in the face of facts" rather it is what they do with this belief. At its heart QAnon is rooted in the idea they're digital soldiers in an info war. As seen on Jan 6, they're not opposed to this war spilling over offline Image
25/ Some in Qanon seem to believe that Trump will be keeping the Nuclear Codes as he departs the White house for Mar-a-Lago. To them this is Proof that he will remain president and be inaugurated March 4, and it is a tool Qteams back pocket. Image

Not sure what his point is here, or his intention, but I can say that this will resonate with QAnon adherents. "Follow the White Rabbit" was an explicit early QAnon reference at the start of the movement.
In analysis of early QAnon data on Twitter, we see that the hashtag was used in 2017 during the inception of the movement.
Key point here is how, QAnon influencer, who have been integrating Elon more and more into their conspiracy theory narratives, are going to use this as another marker to indicate that Musk is communicating with them, the same way they did with Trump while he was president.

It is important to note that we continue to see more and more evidence about the importance of the ecosystem and the networks that makes it up in radicalizing and mobilizing individuals to violence.
This 19 year old created propaganda, in September 2021 & march 2022 which likely inspired the Buffalo shooter, as screencaps from the 19year old made it in the Buffalo shooters manifesto & diary. In Turn the Buffalo shootter in turn inspired the Bratislava attacker to mobilize.
These networks and ecosystems are not ideologically unified, but a collection of disparate & conflicting projects. Some grasp the most powerful offices in the world, others fester on fringe online platforms, others organize street demonstrations, and some carry out mass murders.

In an interesting turn of events, a network of neo-fascist accelerationists had been moving digital assets to TamTam, in light of Telegrams continued efforts to shutdown their channels; however, this morning TamTam nuked all their channels and chats.
TamTam is a messaging service developped by VK, that is similar to Telegram but with less of the functionality. TamTam is one of the platforms that ISIS supporters moved to in 2019 when telegram became to hostile for them.
The network of channels and chats I was observing were mainly using TamTam to store propagandistic material from branded channels that regularly get nuked by Telegram. The messaging service was mainly being used as an archive for propaganda, with the chats being used occasionally

Today marks the 5th year since the inception of QAnon. The movement has drastically changed and evolved since it first emerged. Not only in size of the movement, but also in the way that it manifests itself, as well as how far globally it is now found.
As I'm finishing the last chapter of my dissertation and I am reading chapters I wrote in 2019 using data and primary sources from 2017, 2018, 2019 vs what I have written in 2020, 2021 or 2022 we really have several different iterations of QAnon and the threat it can pose.
QAnon used to be centralized on 4chan between October 28, 2017 to November 1, 2017 when the first "Q" stated that 4chan had been infiltrated and compromised. At which point "Q" boards were moves to 8chan.

To no one's surprise QAnon influencers over on Telegram are drinking deep from the hopeium tonight following Musk taking over twitter.
They believe that this is all part of the Plan, and that the firing of Twitter's leadership, has nothing to do with a new owner wanting to put his own people at the head of the company,
Rather they believe Musk is a whitehat and he took control of Twitter and fired those in charge due to how they were members of the deep state and played a stole in stealing the 2020 election.

According to the lastest PRRI poll belief in QAnon has gone up by 5%. I agree with the first two questions they ask but the 3rd question doesn't relate only to QAnon alone and can lead to inclusion of some I wouldn't consider to be QAnon believers prri.org/research/chall…
Q3 the ask is "Because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country." This is a Question that can relate to several domestic extremist actors.
QAnon believe first and foremost that that they are digital soldiers participation in information warefare. And would rather see themselves as digital warriors first. Framing the third question that way would make it more representative imo.
