11/4/17 was a big day for Q drops - nearly two dozen, with Q pumping out even more nuggets as the clock rolled over into 11/5 PST. I won't summarize them all, but here are a few of the "highlights" as Q's thriller moves closer and closer to its climax (ew):
Q starts their spree by talking A LOT about Saudi Arabia, declaring that the following posts "will equate to the biggest drops ever disclosed in our history." This will matter quite a bit in a few days, but doesn't add much to the story now.
D72 sees Q again interacting with an anon following the story. People are clearly digging this and getting a lot out of it. Q also drops "Disinformation is real. Distractions are necessary" as he subtly rewrites his own story to focus on Saudi Arabia.
A weird thing Q does in these early drops is fall back on old "Alice in Wonderland" tropes, but referring to it as "Alice & Wonderland." In D74, Q helpfully explains that "Q=Alice" and "Everything has meaning." So things that look like errors are actually puzzles to be decoded.
D75 gets our first meme, along with the declaration that "By the time POTUS returns from his trip the world will be a different place." Trump had started a 12-day, five-country trip to Asia on the 3rd - implying that "the storm" would be done by November 15.
After reposts of previous drops (gotta keep that content coming), Q posts a jpg of a bunch of drops put together, commanding followers to "Add above points to graphic." It's the first stirrings of the "Q map," though not in the same form.
The next few drops hit the Alice in Wonderland/Snow White imagery really hard. Q calls Saudi Arabia "The Bloody Wonderland" and hints that Hillary is Alice. Which is weird, because Q just said Q is Alice. Don't bother trying to figure it out.
D85 is a MASSIVE veer away from the fairy tale stuff into hardcore conspiracy theory land: Hillary or the DNC hired MS13 thugs to take out Seth Rich, then killed the two shooters - hinting that all of this info is classified.
D88 is another big one, as Q declares "Ten days. Darkness. Scare tactics (MSM)." The "ten days of darkness" idea seems to be a direct lift from the then-just released BLADE RUNNER 2049, which uses it as the term for when machines stopped working.
This ties with the idea that the world will be forever changed when POTUS returns from Asia - in about ten days. The next drop veers into stuff about Haiti and the Clinton Foundation, a constant generator of right wing conspiracy theories.
D90: Q quotes an anon who says of the MS-13/Seth Rich connection (which does not exist), "Ok, we just need Q to come back and confirm now." Q confirms that it was ((HRC)) behind it all. Yes, her initials are in double parentheses.
D92 jumps from Seth Rich to the Las Vegas Strip shooting a month earlier. TONS of rhetorical questions about the shooter, their motive, JFK, Saudi Arabia, and Trump making a secret Vegas trip that day. He did actually go to Vegas three days after the shooting. It wasn't secret.
At this point, the calendar flips from the 4th to the 5th, so I'll deal with those drops tomorrow. We're building up to the big reveal, "the storm" that will, as Q put it, change the world forever. And every day, more anons are replying to the drops. And Q is barely a week old.
I do not know who wrote these drops, and the author left no way to ID them. But whoever it was clearly has some skill at spinning out a story, editing it on the fly, and drawing people into it. This doesn't necessitate a conspiracy or psyop training - just storytelling instincts.

About two dozen Q drops were made on 11/5/17, though the number varies based on time zones. It was another big day in the leadup to "the storm" that President Trump would be unleashing while sequestered in Asia. Some of the more noteworthy goings on this day:
Just after midnight PST, D93 lays out a major tenet of Q: there's always a bigger fish, and a bigger cabal controlling the cabal that we thought was the big cabal that controlled everything. Case in point: "HRC was a puppet but her strings were recently cut."
The next few drops are about the Clintons ("Bill wants a deal") and Saudi Arabia, along with numerous mentions of "The Godfather Part III." Q really loves the least-loved part of the Godfather Saga.

10/31/17, four years ago today, was another big day in the evolution of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Q made 9 drops, cementing some of the biggest concepts in the movement's mythology. A few highlights (??) of these drops are:
Drop 14: The first reference to QAnon hero Mike Flynn, along with a barrage of rhetorical questions hinting that Trump was "asked" to run for president by military officers, and that he "knows where the bodies are buried."
Drop 15: The claim that "Soros, Clintons, Obama, Putin, etc. are all controlled by 3 families (the 4th was removed post Trump's victory)." I have never figured out who these families are. Also, Q claims "11.3 - Podesta indicted" and "11.6 - Huma indicted" Maybe this year!

Anyone can celebrate the 4th anniversary of Q's first two drops, but today we celebrate the 4th anniversary of the day when Q really cemented itself as a conspiracy theory to watch. Q made 11 drops on 10/29/17, claiming among other things:
"Many in our govt worship Satan" and "the NG [was] called up across 12 cities."

"POTUS is 100% insulated - any discussion suggesting he’s even a target is false" and "Patriots are in control. Sit back and enjoy the show."
"John M never had surgery and that was a cover for a future out if needed against prosecution?"

"Obama also had an alias along with each of his cabinet members."

The first drops in what would become QAnon were posted 4 years ago today. But the social and psychological forces that made Q a worldwide movement stretch back decades and centuries. I spent three years chronicling it all for THE STORM IS UPON US.

static.mhpbooks.com/the-storm-is-u…
I've written extensively about the movement for @dailydot, and the site has an entire set of stories to "commemorate" this important event in American paranoia.

dailydot.com/qanon-4-years-…
My story is on how the movement transformed with the end of the Q drops, the ultimate failure of "The Storm," and the increasing absorption of mainstream conservatism by a blob of insane conspiracy theories.

This op-ed makes a persuasive case that "Havana Syndrome" is a mass psychogenic event. Any supposed "attack" based on secret technology and carried out among a narrow band of people without any real motive should be treated very skeptically.

nytimes.com/2021/10/26/opi…
There are definitely physical signs that some of the people afflicted by "Havana Syndrome" are going through something. But the technology proponents believe is causing it doesn't exist, and the motive behind the "attacks" doesn't make any sense.
It's classic conspiracy theory stuff - secret technology and obscure motives used as an explanation for something that doesn't make sense otherwise. This is how our brains process chaos, by using whatever is at our disposal to turn it into order.

So...Trump lent his name to a shell company that immediately went public on the strength of that name, to raise money for his new social platform, knowing that investors would short the stock because the platform will fail? Is that right?

Isn't that just "The Producers?"
I don't really understand the stonks thing, but to a layperson, that seems a lot like fraud. Right??
"Amazing. It's absolutely amazing. That under the right circumstances, a Producer could make more money with a flop than he could with a hit. Hmm... Yes, it's quite possible! If he were certain that the show would fail, a man could make a fortune!"
