Tracy Diaz, aka Tracy Beanz, one of the most prominent early promoters of QAnon, has won an election to become the new state executive committee person of the Horry County Republican Party.
She announced the news on the Telegram channel of her podcast, saying: "It's our time."
As reporting by @oneunderscore__ and @BrandyZadrozny has evidenced, Tracy Diaz was a moderator of the "CBTS_Stream" subreddit alongside Paul Furber and Coleman Rogers, which helped propel QAnon into mainstream.
Diaz herself has explained her involvement in QAnon on her blog.
You can read the details of the vote in this report.
Several QAnon influencers and followers have won elections at local or state levels in recent months, which will likely encourage more QAnon believers to attempt election runs. myrtlebeachonline.com/news/politics-…
I highly recommend listening to this latest episode of @QanonAnonymous featuring @VeraMBergen on the growing trend of QAnon promoters running for and winning local elections.
This is the big reveal in the finale of #QIntotheStorm where Ron Watkins says too much to Cullen Hoback and lets his guard slip.
It was so good it made the whole six hours worth it.
Bear in mind that what Hoback finally extracted out of Ron after three years of chasing is that Ron and his father Jim have basically been in control of Q on 8chan and 8kun, most likely since January 2018.
We still do not know who began posting as Q on 4chan in October 2017.
This is what Ron Watkins posted to his 151,000 Telegram subscribers a day before the documentary's final episode was aired.
A video of President Biden answering a few questions from reporters has set into motion an explosion of old or existing conspiracy theories ranging from "green screen video" to "CGI" to "Biden isn't real" to "Biden is dead" to "Biden body double".
Here are a few examples of the vareity of false claims being made about the video, sometimes by well-known, mainstream, blue tick accounts.
That large, grey microphone is actually further to the right of Biden's hands, not in front of them.
There are multiple videos of the exchange taken from other angles as well as images.
Obviously, there's no green screen or CGI at play.
There's a Facebook post allegedly written by the main suspect in Atlanta shootings, in which he calls on Americans to "fight back" against China because they "covered up" Covid.
It's a good idea not to share that post as it's not clear if it's genuine. It could well be a fake.
There are a few things about the profile photo in that post that seem suspicious to say the least.
Also, if someone was quick to screenshot his Facebook profile before it was possibly removed - supposing he did have one - why is that the only screenshot making the rounds?
My colleague Marianna has confirmed the screenshot of a Facebook post about China and Covid attributed to Robert Aaron Long is indeed fake 👇
It's worth mentioning that in this rare interview from December 2020, Ron basically says he knows the identity of Q and would be willing to reveal it.
"Some day I'll probably be called under oath to talk about it and then certainly I'll say..." buzzsprout.com/1249451/7042393
Also bear in mind that even if this claim is made and is proven to be right, we would still not have an answer for the identity of the person or persons who first began posting as Q on 4chan in October 2017, before Q migrated to 8chan a month later.
Today marks the second anniversary of the Christchurch shootings.
I've had to watch quite a lot of horrible footage in the years I've been doing this job. To this date, I rank that awful video as the most horrifying piece of content I've ever witnessed. monitoring.bbc.co.uk/product/c200or…
When I arrived at work that morning, the 8chan thread on which Brenton Tarrant had posted his manifesto and a link to the Facebook live video of his massacre had been removed.
But archived versions of the thread, the video and Tarrant's mainfesto were all over the internet.
I spent the entire day watching the footage and reading the manifesto, which was filled with far-right trolling phrases and numerous 8chan memes.
I read the entire thread, and despaired at how fellow 8chan anons cheered on Tarrant as he carried out the horrific attack.
Conspiracy theories are spreading about last night's vigil for Sarah Everard.
One false claim is that Patsy Stevenson, whose arrest went viral last night, is a "crisis actor".
QAnon promoter Charlie Ward and a numbe of Covid sceptic channels on Telegram have shared the claim.
Different versions of that false claim about Ms Stevenson are now being shared on Twitter and Facebook.
Another conspiracy spreading on Telegram suggests there might be some shadowy plot by the state involved in the deaths of Captain Sir Tom Moore and Sarah Everard.
