One of Q's early claims was that John McCain was faking his medical problems, for Reasons™: "What if John M's surgery was fake? Why would this occur?" wrote Q in drop 18, during their first thread that *really* caught on.

This claim resonated with a few anons, but... *why?*
One thing to remember is that 4chan's /pol/ board was both rabidly pro-Trump and wildly conspiratorial.

Trump's enemies were its enemies, and Trump's antipathy towards McCain is well documented. Also, McCain had recently been the critical vote to scuttle Obamacare repeal...
So anons were *extra*-mad at him.

When you add in the VERY conspiracy-friendly nature of 4/pol/, you start getting into... how shall I put it... the natural consequences of thinking everything's a false flag:

your brain falls the fuck outta your head bc you're so credulous.
After all, if EVERYTHING'S a false flag or distraction, that means EVERYTHING. No exceptions. Not even for the health problems of an 80-something man.

It's not that these anons are *stupid*, necessarily -- it's just that they've poisoned themselves against the truth.

One thing to bear in mind as you read this article: a writ of mandamus *is* a real thing, but is very rarely granted.

But in the world of fringe legal theories, the writ of mandamus is almost a magical totem and judges are EAGER to grant one.

This leads me to a **PREDICTION**:
once the “writ of mandamus” campaign fails, Tore will shift to a “quo warranto” campaign —

That being a legal thing that’s even LESS-successful IRL but even MORE beloved in fringe legal circles than a writ of mandamus.
Quo warranto is a demand that an officeholder prove they do legitimately hold the office they appear to occupy.

If you’re the sort of person who denies the validity of the last election, OF COURSE you’re gonna be drawn to that shit like a moth is drawn to flame.

The latest QAA mentioned this — that generating social media content *is* part of the goal for a lot of the school-board harassers.

“It’s a lot like posting,” they said in what I thought was a joke.

And yet…
They also (correctly, IMO) talked about the pleasure inherent in being able to vent one’s spleen on a captive audience & get applause for even the most lunatic lines.

We focus mostly on the intimidation side of why these people go to scream at schoolboards — that they…
very much *want* their desires enacted and they’re willing to intimidate officials to make it happen; that it advances their authoritarian worldview to, if they lose elections, simply strongarm the victors into doing what they want ANYWAY; etc etc.

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…

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...

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?"

archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/147…
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...
