Q ORIGINS PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS, 2021

1. Published in Bellingcat, which was a no-kidding life goal for me, about QAnon as an outgrowth of 4chan culture.
bellingcat.com/news/americas/…

2. Conned Bellingcat into doing it again, this time re (some of) the lost drops.
bellingcat.com/news/rest-of-w…
3. Sat down, shut up, & got out of the way as @BobPythonic + @kunstderfuge1 found the first forensic evidence for Q's whereabouts.
bellingcat.com/news/rest-of-w…

4. Recruited *more* impressive people to the project -- @FantasticGvnFox, @get_innocuous, @AlxnderThaGr8, and @MC_Hyperbole.
5. Wrote an explainer for the Anti-Defamation League
adl.org/resources/repo…

6. Was blown away when @AlxnderThaGr8 accurately pointed out that GhostEzra is packing Nazi-grade antisemitism with *a total lack* of Nazi-grade *racism* -- he was the first to pick up on that, AFAIK.
7. Provided a platform for @AlxnderThaGr8 to write his Certified Smartbrain™ thoughts on GhostEzra

qoriginsproject.org/one-does-not-s…

8. Also hosted @FantasticGvnFox's writings on Q's early interest in German elections. Read the first 2 sentences of the last graf.
qoriginsproject.org/qanon-alternat…
8a. PSYCH. READ THE WHOLE PIECE! IT'S GREAT. :D That link again:
qoriginsproject.org/qanon-alternat…

9. HOLY SHIT, WE LAUNCHED DCHAN. dchan.qorigins.org is *life*, and all credit for it (literally, one hundred percent) goes to @kunstderfuge1.
9a. Seriously, dchan is the biggest archive of QAnon content that's accessible to the general public. It has 14,000,000+ posts from Q and anons. If you EVER want to know what Q people thought about X, *go to dchan and search for it.* Again, that's dchan.qorigins.org.
10. Did a deep dive (*so* deep it turned into actual journalism) for this piece, consulting with meteorologists and construction experts to show how Q deceived their followers while presenting a supposed live look at a Q team operation in Shanghai.

qoriginsproject.org/anatomy-of-a-d…
11. Discovered that Q used Tor at least some of the time. I believe credit for that discovery actually goes to @kunstderfuge1, who continues to be a champ.

If you're like, "What is Tor?", here you go:

N.B. As the next tweet says,
I could go on, too -- we found a bunch of lost drops! @get_innocuous found out a TON of good stuff about the coup Powerpoint! and I'm very, VERY sure I'm forgetting stuff.

But it's been a good year, & I'm grateful for my team but also for *you*, the reader, who puts up with me😃
EMBARRASSING CORRECTION ALERT:

This article was written by @AlxnderThaGr8, not @FantasticGvnFox.

I’ve got a mind like a steel trap, in that it’s *entirely empty most of the time*.

Antisemitism is the beating heart of how the far right sees the world.

Anti-trans rhetoric is how the far right builds bridges to more mainstream conservatives, because hatred and loathing of trans people is their #1 shared value.
I would further add that, like *everything* the far right considers a social ill, it is a given -- in those circles -- that The Jew must be to blame for transness & is pushing "the trans agenda."

But that's not what the far right leads with when it talks to normie conservatives.
Rather, they lead with shared loathing of trans bodies, of the very concept of transness, with a good hearty bigoted "ewwwwwwww."

And it works. It successfully communicates to normal, everyday conservatives: look, I'm on your side. We hate the same things.

Hey, look at this! A Q drop from centuries long gone.

Or, fine, a vague and almost-certainly-fabricated-by-a-later-author "prophecy." If you INSIST on calling it by its proper name. Killjoy. >:(

Anyway, BIG h/t @tjdfotographist for the source material here. Image
... you know, I should actually cite the source, shouldn't I? This is an English-language translation of a French pamphlet (written in 1791, translated 1797) which blamed the French Revolution on a Freemason/Templar conspiracy.

The subtitle is *sublime*: Image
But the *full* title is: "James Molai; or, the Secret of the Conspirators

Translated by a gentleman of Boston,

Addressed to those who wish to know every thing" Image

~BOOK REVIEW CORNER~

"But Origins," absolutely no one just asked me, "what do you read ASIDE from QAnon/extremism stuff?"

I just finished @NuclearTeeth's "A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," a review of murder (and homicide) in Rome.

Why was it good? FIND OUT 👇:
1) the substance of the book is *very very meaty*, especially chapter 9, which essentially deals with mass murder as a spectacle for demonstrating state power in Rome -- the book never says this out loud, but boy, I couldn't help but think of parallels to Aztec mass sacrifice.
(To be clear, the Romans got queasy at the idea of explicit human sacrifice, and no doubt would be horrified by the comparison. But IMO the comparsion holds up. However, this is WAY beyond the scope of a book review; if you're curious, ask and I'll talk your dang ear off abt it.)

An update on The Bullshit from Brazil.

Pay attention to Brazil: if you’re gonna choose *one* foreign country to go “Oh, they have something that’s exactly like Trumpism there,” Brazil is your best bet by far — right down to evangelicals being the political power base.
“But Origins,” you say, “wouldn’t you expect Brazilian evangelicals to be very distinct from American evangelicals?”

Sure, if you didn’t realize that US-based missionary efforts have basically exported the *whole* model abroad.

Which is not to say there’s NO local changes!
Just that it’s a *very* recognizable phenomenon.

Liz Harris is the mother of the “canvassing” strategy that’s the last, best hope of Trump Wuz Robbed truthers.

Here she shares a video by Austin Steinbart, “Baby Q” himself, where — inter alia — he claims credit for the self-immolation of a Phoenix businessman (about 32:00 in).
Steinbart claims to be Q from the future (though his followers say that’s oversimplifying).

This is why, at about 30:40 in the video, he explains that the “news media is a big part of why we had to do QAnon this way.”

Again, Harris explicitly says “This video explains it all!”
One thing it PROBABLY explains is how Steinbart —who, at the time, was fresh out of the federal slammer (his whole shtick had basically been “If I’m not Q, how come the FBI doesn’t arrest me when I do all these illegal things?” and reader, you will never guess what the FBI did)—

ATTENTION, DEMOCRATIC PARTY OFFICIALS & FUNCTIONARIES:

The only weapon that consistently works against disinfo is pre-bunking, or inoculation.

Telling people they're going to be lied to, and how, and why, makes them resist the lie.

Use that knowledge for 2022 & '24. Start now.
But don't JUST say Republicans are going to scream fraud if Trump loses.

Say: Republicans are going to scream fraud if Trump loses, and try to certify slates of electors that *ignore the real electoral results.*

Say: this will be an assault on democracy, on YOUR way of life...
and when they try this (and they WILL try it), we have to be ready for mass protests like the ones that brought down the Soviet Bloc in '89.

We have to be ready to fill the streets and shut down ordinary civic life.

Prep people with the knowledge of what the bad guys will say.
