MEGATHREAD: DROPS 34-44 -- PART I: Q SETS THE STAGE FOR THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

This is part I of a megathread on Q drops 34-44; it cpvers drops 34-35, which form a single message, & anons' response.

Parts II & beyond will be MUCH shorter, but these drops are key to Q's myth.

But first: a bit of context.

This takes place in the first Calm Before the Storm thread, which itself is a continuation of an earlier thread (linked) that called Q “Info Dump Anon” and “LARPer Guy” (but, y’know, in a friendly way).

Given the way Q was referred to in that last thread, you can see *why* they’d make sure that their debut in THIS one featured much, much stronger branding.

Hence the first words of their first post: “Q Clearance Patriot.”

BTW, if you’re wondering what happened in the thread before Q came along, the answer is: not much of note.

A link is below, but mostly it was lots of shrieking about Benghazi and Hillary (a "callous hag deserving of a rope around her scaly neck").

I have never been as mad at anything as these anons were about Benghazi; several of them LARPed about it so hard I thought my eyes were going to roll out of my skull.

But that's wildly off-topic; we should return to drops 34 and 35.

I've seen 34 called "the drop of drops." Why?

Because drop 34: 1) sets a deadline for the Storm (the first of many, MANY missed deadlines);

2) is explicit about what the Storm will be (arrests of Trump's enemies/the Cabal while martial law is declared); and

3) establishes several parts of Q lore that persist to this day.

But how do we know that it's part of the same message as drop 35?

Partly because of the timestamps -- they're posted roughly 20 seconds apart.

Clearly, these were pre-composed and copy-pasted into 4chan ahead of time; Q often did this with their first few posts in a thread.

Partly, too, because of the prose -- drop 34 starts with "My Fellow Americans" and 35 ends with "my fellow Americans."

And they tell the same basic story: they form an address from Q to the anons, explaining what the anons can expect to see "over the course of the coming days."

There are a LOT of weird little bits of drops 34 and 35 to focus in on. A LOT.

Take the Bible quote, for example. It's two famous verses stitched together, and @SethDaire did some WONDERFUL digging to find out where it may have come from:

https://twitter.com/QOrigins/status/1371009664754794500?s=20

In short, Seth found that BibleGateway -- the single most popular site for the text of the Bible -- had a page which, itself, listed the most-quoted *verses* in the Bible.

And wouldn't you know it? Drop 35 mashes together two passages mentioned on that page. Interesting!

And what's more interesting is: the passages in question aren't--you wouldn't find them put side by side in any other context. It doesn't make *sense* theologically. They're not about the same kind of love. And, indeed, you DON'T find them jammed together pretty much anywhere...

except in this Q drop.

It's almost as if Q has almost no knowledge of how conservative Christians talk, but wants to take a stab at it.

What do we make of this? I don't know. But it's interesting.

And what about drop 34? First, let's look at the short timeline Q sets for the Storm: a couple-three days from this post.

To be sure, there's a TINY bit of wiggle room. Q says that "Podesta" (without specifying which Podesta brother) will be arrested "11.3 (actionable 11.4)."

First of all: I have a LOT of questions about why one would make an "arrest announcement" on a particular day, but make it only "actionable" the next day, while ALSO being concerned with preventing the TARGETS of these arrests from fleeing the country.

But I have an answer, too:

The November 4th "Antifa Apocalypse" is -- as always -- *key* to understanding Q's origin story.

I cannot readily explain how terrified anons were of the CERTAINLY-REAL-FOR-SURE Antifa uprising that was "scheduled" for the 4th. But I can tell you this:

To this day, one chan-CHUD who keeps popping up in my mentions (and will probably either reply to this or @ me shortly) *insists* that the Antifa Apocalypse WAS real and WAS going to be bad & that he helped avert it by warning the anons about it.

Apparently he traveled to do so.

Of course, it was a nothingburger; the far-right elements of the Internet were pissing their pants in fear over a little tiny cult of personality led by an old man who goes by "Chairman Bob."

But the anons didn't know that yet (and, like I said, many still don't).

As a reader points out -- correctly:

https://twitter.com/jack_dayto/status/1378216017034309639?s=20

So Q was *in a bind* when that didn't happen. You might call it the Great Disappointment, but it also gave birth to the Great Pivot -- if Q was going to stick around on 4chan, they needed SOMETHING to latch on to to say "No, see, it really DID happen!"

But that's for the future.

What matters NOW is that setting a deadline that was only a couple days in the future is a *pattern* for Q. Q has done it before (that's what drop 1 did, right?); Q does it again here; but you have to ask yourself: WHY?

Did Q really expect the Storm? How was it going to END?

And here, too, I don't have a firm answer for you. I honestly think, though, that Q didn't expect this to be a long-term LARP: I think Q was originally like "Ah, I'm gonna noodle around with this shit for a few days and just see how it goes."

And, uh... it went PRETTY WELL for Q. And pretty badly for the rest of us.

So that was fun! 🙃

Anyway, HOME STRETCH NOW: responses to drops 34 and 35 fall into a few broad categories: ironic, skeptical/hostile, curious, believers.

Not gonna bother discussing the ironic ones.

Skeptical/hostile responses focused in on inconsistencies in Q's story: "If you're the LARPer, why do you have DOE clearance?" "EMS? Clarify that you're not a... LARPer and that you're actually talking about EAS. This is important."

And then there's the simple post below:

Curious anons probe part of Q's story (one such anon notes a plot hole, then talks themselves into believing that in FACT Q means that *even the riots themselves* are a part of the patriots' master plan -- it's pretty easy to con folks when they talk themselves into it, right?).

But the believers... hoo boy.

I can't prove that any of these are regular anons. They could CONCEIVABLY be Q's sockpuppets. But feast your eyes on them -- especially the first one:

P.S. Remember Q's sign-off "4,10,20?" Remember how Q's supposed to be a superspy or, in some tellings, descended from the fiendishly difficult puzzles of Cicada 3301?

Here, an anon asks what 4,10,20 means, and Q explains 3 minutes later: a=1, b=2, c=3, etc.🙄SUCH cryptography!!

P.P.S. Remember how I mentioned the skeptical anons? One of Q's greatest strengths is that they *just. don't. engage. with. skeptics.* Ever. They refuse to get down in the mud, and that's CRUCIAL to building and maintaining their myth.
