Today is the two-year anniversary of the James Comey tweet that sparked the Grass Valley Charter School Incident, where QAnon frightened a school into canceling their annual fundraiser.

New from me today:
patreon.com/posts/quibiq-g…
While the initial "decode" might not look even the slightest bit rational to us, Joe M recognized its potential and spread it to his 100k followers (this was 2019, so 100k followers made him by far one of the biggest QAnon accounts at the time)
After the decode went viral in QAnon, believers started calling the school to warn them of the impending Deep State attack.

School officials cancelled the event-- not because they thought there was a plot, but because they feared QAnon might show up to "protect" them.
After the cancellation, Joe started getting some heat, and took the strange position that "even if" the decode he shared was nonsense, it didn't matter, because the *other* wild decodes of Comey tweets were providing important intel (about corn, trees and dogs I assume).
When it was suggested that Joe use his massive platform to encourage donations to the GoFundMe the school set up to recoup the losses from the cancelled fundraiser, Joe took what you might call a "hard pass."

Lin Wood has spent the last half hour on Telegram claiming to be searching the White House for Joe Biden.

He finishes the story with the claim that he went into the Oval Office and found Donald Trump at the Resolute Desk.

This is delusion at a whole other level. ImageImage
Lin's follow-up is to share a post from GhostEzra, a QAnon promoter who believes Joe Biden is actually dead and was replaced with a body double.

GhostEzra is thoroughly hated by all the other QAnon promoters, so this must sting.

I'm surprised but this was probably inevitable. Image
OH, IT'S ON Image

Right now, QAnon is on a similar trajectory as Pizzagate was after Edgar Welch shot up Comet. After the widely publicized violence it became unfashionable to be a "Pizzagate believer" but they didn't go away by any means, they just found a more private corner of the internet.
For the first time EVER, I'm going to say this: Q actually saw this one coming.

There's a reason Q instructed their followers to stop saying "QAnon" and stop talking about "Q" and start using more and more coded language as the election approached.
It's also why none of the big-name Q promoters did their typical ban evasion tricks after the great purge of January 8th, but instead retreated to Telegram taking as many of their followers with them as possible.

They saw the writing on the wall.

I'm working on a revision and expansion of my adrenochrome thread, and can I just say it's amazing how many studies were conducted in the 1950s linking mescaline and adrenochrome based on molecular similarities? No wonder it entered pop culture.
Most of these studies came up with "well, it doesn't do much" as their result and yet the studies continued
Changes to brain activity on mescaline are profound and accompanied by patients reporting euphoria and hallucinations

On adrenochrome, patients felt a little drowsy and the changes to brainwave activity are... well, let's just call them "unimpressive"

The evolution of this single book really says a lot about QAnon
As suspected, all references to Q have been removed from the latest edition
"Thank you to the entire Q Army... thank you the 8-chan Anons who do battle" has been replaced by "Thank you to all the patriots everywhere... thank you to those who do battle"

This is like reading a Creationist textbook edited into an Intelligent Design textbook.

Jordan Sather has been fighting with a bunch of rival QAnon promoters over NESARA for like a week now, and it's just delicious
please don't interpret that as me as giving a single fuck if Jordan Sather is upset
Jordan, you sell snakeoil

it's how you got famous before Q

never let it be said that Jordan possesses even an ounce of self-awareness

on the plus side that's a whole lot of comments

There's been a little bit of chatter about how burnt-out people who watch, cover & report on conspiracy and extremist groups have gotten recently.

I feel it myself.

And the worst part is that (for me at least) it comes from a place of deep disappointment.
For me, and for some others, it was impossible not to have a spark of hope that this would actually *end* at some point.

Surely, I thought in 2018, someone with the ability to act will start taking this seriously.
Surely, I thought in 2019, now that people are committing crimes in the name of Q, we're going to see a real shift in the halls of power because someone will realize how dangerous it is.

I never expected Trump to come out against it, but I dunno-- I kinda expected *something*.
