BEHOLD, A NEW LOST DROP -- our 14th! This one was discovered by @kunstderfuge1.

And THIS one strongly suggests Q was using Tor! How? More on that in a moment, but first: what's the lost drop, and what is Tor?

As for the lost drop, it's the first post in the image below. 1/8
Let's take a moment to establish context. This post was made right when 8kun was taking its first baby steps towards MAYBE sorta being online again, after a 3-month absence. (If you don't know the story, feel free to ask for details.)

Very few people could access it.
So the canonical drop -- #3571 -- was Q's first post after the downtime.

How do we know they're by the same person? First, because /BAS_Test/1 and /2 seem pretty thematically consistent! Almost like Q just forgot to enter their tripcode the first time around. But second...
look at the user IDs!

Note how the lost drop ("/BAS_Test/1") has the same user ID, 0d590d, as the canonical drop "/BAS_Test/2."

Open and shut, right? Except... hang on, those other responses ALSO have user ID 0d590d. Are those Q's sockpuppets?

Maybe! BUT we can't be sure...
because there was a bug around this time, where users who were logging on via Tor tended to share the same user ID in a thread.

Here's one user mentioning their Tor access test *right* below Q's... *and sharing Q's user ID.*
So... what's Tor?

Well, Tor is what the most paranoid and security-conscious people use to access the web. It's great for dissidents and journalists in unfree countries, but is more famously used by pedophiles and hackers.
This is not to say that Q is *any* of the above (I personally think Q is just LARPing and Tor seems *hardcore*), but basically Tor is something you use if you expect that serious, suit-wearing people are going to try to track you down and imprison you.
So it's FASCINATING that Q was apparently using it!

As for why we're counting "Test 1" as a lost drop & not the other two responses: there's obvious continuity between "test 1" and "test 2," whereas the responses are at least POSSIBLY not sockpuppeted by Q. It's a judgment call

UPDATE ON AMERICA’S LARGEST PROTESTANT DENOMINATION:

After a prominent Southern Baptist lost his position for *very* cruel treatment of sex-abuse survivors, his supporters formed the “Conservative Baptist Network” & are busily obstructing efforts at investigation & reform. 1/5
The amazing thing is: the investigation they’re stalling isn’t into Paige Patterson — the good ol’ boy whose defenders formed the CBN.

It’s a much more general, broad-scope investigation that’s supposed to yield info
& recommendations re: why abuse survivors are ill-treated.
Hint: it’s patriarchy — the welfare & reputations of male sex abusers (especially if they have status within the denomination, say as pastors) is, again and again, shown to be more important than the health and safety of their victims.

But that would be a “woke” conclusion…

Once upon a time someone asked me: before aggregators -- heck, before Q started using a tripcode -- how did anons keep track of Q's claims?

They did it by bodging together, slowly and laboriously, images that they THOUGHT contained all of Q's posts, and then iterating on it.
Interestingly enough, these images don't really match the canonical Q drops! They tend to leave a bunch of stuff out, either because early anons didn't know about them or because early anons thought they weren't by Q. Mostly the former.
These, for instance -- the second iteration of that chart -- start on 10/31/17, whereas NOW we would look at an aggregator site and go: "Oh, there were canonical drops on 10/28/17 and 10/29." (There were also lost drops on the 29th and 30th, but of course those aren't canonical.)

Anons knew Q's plot had holes.

There are 15(!) responses to this 11/2/17 post asking: if the storm happens, "what's stopping lefties from saying he fabricated evidence and basically performed a military coup on Congress to install himself as dictator?"

One REALLY interesting thing about this post, btw, is that it goes on to predict something like the Frazzledrip "video":

"I mean, I feel like you could show a lot of HRC voters video evidence of her butchering a child and they still wouldn't believe it."
Frazzledrip, for those who HAVEN'T poisoned their brains, is a mythical "video" supposedly circulating (but which no one ever has a copy of, of course) showing Hillary, well, butchering a child.

And sure, the video doesn't exist, but Q followers WANT it to...

Fred IS prominently thanked, and with good reason.

In fact, let me thank him extra: thanks, Fred!

P.S. If you're using dChan, especially our frequency-of-a-search-term-over-time tool, you should read the About section bc there's Stuff You Should Know™.

Some might say that the "frequency-of-a-search-term-over-time tool" is actually called the "time series visualizer," but I say to them: shut up and stop being correct, you jerks. >:(

Anyway, here it is if you wanna play around with it, kids.

dchan.qorigins.org/timeseries
By default it's set to display how frequently the term is used per 1,000 posts in our dataset.

You CAN switch to a different view, where it measures the absolute frequency of a term, but there are almost no circumstances in which you SHOULD.

HOW Q-PILLED IS THE ARIZONA “AUDIT” FAN BASE?

1) Someone named “ArizQna” runs the Arizona audit watch channel. (Screenshot 1)

They then moved this channel, and its associated chats, to the “US audit watch” (screenshot 2).
ArizQna is the owner of the US audit watch channel and describes it as “our chat room.” They actively participate in discussions.

So right off the bat, we know that most of the discussion on Telegram is happening in a space created, and managed by, one of Q’s followers.
2) What about rank-and-file followers? I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.

It’s not that all conversation revolves around Q drops — that’s just not how Q Telegram *talks* anymore, with the possible exception of MelQ and a few other diehards — but it DOES come up:

You might see this article doing the rounds.

I regret to inform you that the sourcing is weak — just some stuff Patrick Byrne said in late August, plus a healthy dose of speculation.

I WISH it were rock-solid reporting, but… 🤷‍♂️

nationalmemo.com/amp/arizona-au…
BTW, it IS true that the new hotness in audit spaces is “well, just counting the ballots isn’t enough! We need to do a *canvass.*”

And I suspect part of that is that they’re realizing: oh, no, the ballots really DO match the official totals. But that CAN’T mean no fraud!
But it’s just WAY too soon to assume that the AZ Senate report will *refrain* from whackadoodle, easily debunked claims about “massive fraud.”

The truth is, those claims are incredibly useful to Republicans. So IMO a better read on Byrne’s remarks is:
