I think it's fair to say that November 3rd -- the date of Q's first real deadline, when Podesta was supposed to be indicted and Trump was supposed to send the "storm is upon us" tweet -- is also the day that QAnon really EXPLODED on /pol/.

For instance:

archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/147…
The thread I linked to is Calm Before the Storm #21. It racked up over 400 comments from over 100 distinct users in juuuust a bit over one hour.

There were a BUNCH of threads like this. Many of the users had invested enough in Q's prophecies to feel the sting of their failure... Image
But others were already engaging in mental gymnastics: OK, yes, Trump had already "departed" in the sense that Air Force One had left Washington for its trip to Asia.

BUT there was a stop in Hawaii. So clearly the tweet would go out before leaving HAWAII: Image
I'll need to go through a bunch of threads and code the posts as either pro-Q or "it's a LARP, dummies" so I can figure out which message predominated.
But I'm guessing that the people who went "THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY JUST A LARP" stopped posting in CBTS threads eventually, leaving the field to the zealots.

LAST TIME I will nag you: okay, now they’ve actually figured out how to get the damn thing running. So we’re getting right into the meat of how they found GhostEzra, Telegram’s most followed pro-Hitler voice.
“We eventually had a full picture of his life, just with a hole in the middle where his name was.”

“It’s like finding a needle in a haystack… and then you need another one.”

Yeah, it’s true. But they still “had it down to about an 8-mile location in Florida” fairly quickly. 😍
GhostEzra has TWO Lexuses???? Damn. Further evidence that these people are the “lumpenbourgeoisie”, not struggling proles

Free media attention is THE ONLY way Ron Watkins has even a ghost of a chance.

Please don’t provide it. He’s entered the race, which is newsworthy, but now that he’s in, *knock it off.*

If voters in his district know *only* Ron’s name come the primary, he’ll probably win.
“But Origins,” you say, “experts quoted in the article says he has no chance.”

Counterpoint: I have personal knowledge of a woman who’s a local officeholder and absolute DISASTER — regularly in the news for shit like “drunkenly disrupted a neighbor child’s 5th birthday party.”
Like, so badly the cops had to be called.

So, sensing some *pretty obvious* weakness, three serious candidates ran against her.

She won with 70% of the vote.

It’s *amazing* how much prepper talk involves guns, gold, and goods & how little involves questions like:

“what’s the *most* hygienic, least water-contaminating place to poop if the sewer system breaks down?”

or

“How will I get medication for my loved ones w/no supply chain?”
Access to meds would be an especially acute problem after society collapsed; virtually everyone w/conditions that are lethal if untreated would die (often horribly, in front of their families).

That’s diabetes and cancer and a whole host of other conditions. But there’s more!
Lack of clean drinking water would also be a HUGE killer.

Between that and the collapse of medical care, you’d have a lot of people — especially children and infants — dying in agony from waterborne illnesses, which typically kill their victims via diarrhea-induced dehydration.

In light of Ron Watkins' announcement that he's running for Congress, there are a LOT of folks -- including analysts I like and respect -- saying he's Q.

I'm not so sure! Ron as *sole author* of the Q drops -- even from January 2018 forward -- seems almost impossible.

Why? 1/6
The photos above are a comparison of times we *know* Q was behind a keyboard -- because they were interacting with other users in 8chan or 8kun threads -- and Ron's tweets (he was EXTREMELY online, though who among us isn't?).

The big gaps are *probably* when each author sleeps.
Ron appears to be sleeping during the late morning to mid-afternoon, Pacific time.

Q appears to be sleeping midnight-ish to 8-ish, Pacific time.

And Q is often active during Ron's (most likely) sleep schedule.

So this strongly suggests Ron and Q are different people, BUT...

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.

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.
