"The Duke of Edinburgh died of natural causes, but QAnon believers are sharing the rumor that he died as a result of being vaccinated against COVID-19."
High profile deaths linked to the vaccine will be a continued trend. vice.com/en/article/93y…
QAnon and other Conspriacy theory circles are sharing that DMX also does shortly after getting the covid vaccine.
Though it may seem odd, if you can confirm it with a Qdrop then it must be true, doesn't matter how convoluted the path an adherent must take to get there. The difficulty makes it more legitimate as any military intelligence op could not function if everyone could see it.
Other simply turn to numerology for the answer, and unsurprisingly you end up with the number of the beast .
Though if you think numerology is a copout or odd, wait until you see what this user posting going into gematria and linking it to the conspiracy theory that a massive satanic ritual took place of 9/11.
Even though Trump is no longer in office, QAnon adherents still turn to anything he does for sign of secret meanings and codes. Again turning to a statement from POTUS and linking it to various Qdrop is how crowd sourced meaning making is accomplished.
Honestly one could take a biblical criticism methodological approach to analyzing how QAnon adherents use Q drops as sacred texts or their own "biblia"

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.
