Episode 32: Q2 Electric Boogaloo
Summary: <p>From the article The Making of QAnon: A Crowdsourced Conspiracy: "Here is the core of the QAnon myth: with the aid of a small group of military intelligence officers called the Q team (one or more of whom is supposedly responsible for writing the drops), President Donald Trump is waging a shadow war against a cabal of Satan-worshipping, child-eating pedophiles who are conspiring to obstruct and overthrow him. The military will arrest them en masse in an event called “the Storm.” The cabal’s membership has grown in the telling (<a href="https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/147075091/#147104628">at first</a>, it was “many in our government;” <a href="https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/150423953/#150424047">within a month</a>, any “celebs” who had “supported HRC” might very well be in on it; a few months later, there were <a href="https://qagg.news/?q=%23%23740">too many</a> to fit into Guantanamo Bay; <a href="https://qagg.news/?q=%23%232623">later still</a>, three other “detention centers [were] being prepped”), but it would be fair to say that virtually anyone who’s angered or defied President Trump is considered part of the cabal, along with the usual suspects like financier and philanthropist George Soros." </p> <p>In this episode (part 2 of 3), Marc and Kristina begin to dig into the origins of the Q conspiracy, the predecessors, the acolytes, and the places where Q found a means of disseminating its message. We will be relying on our own research as well as diving into two documentaries. Q: Into the Storm, a multiyear effort at uncovering Q's identity filmed by Cullen Hoback and currently available on HBO Max as well as QAnon the Search for Q by Marley Clements and Bayan Joonam for Spike TV and currently available on YouTube. </p> <p>Here's our linktree <a href="https://linktr.ee/xtemporaneouspod" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/xtemporaneouspod</a></p> <p>About Q's predecessors:</p> <ul> <li>FBIAnon: https://steemit.com/fbianon/@aggroed/fbi-anon-one-of-the-best-inside-leakers-out-there</li> <li>FBIAnon beginning of PizzaGate https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/anatomy-of-a-fake-news-scandal-125877/</li> <li>HLIAnon: https://steemit.com/hundredthmonkey/@dreamtime/high-level-insider-ama-from-4chan-transcripts-easy-to-read-not-in-4chan-form-part-6-7-11-16-4</li> </ul> <p>About the Chans</p> <ul> <li>The birth of 4Chan: https://medium.com/@DaleBeran/4chan-the-skeleton-key-to-the-rise-of-trump-624e7cb798cb</li> <li>The making of QAnon: A Crowdsourced Conspiracy: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2021/01/07/the-making-of-qanon-a-crowdsourced-conspiracy/</li> </ul> <p>About Q</p> <ul> <li>Basic overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon</li> <li>QAnon the Search for Q : The Search for Q: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsN96zE8FuE&t=1089s</li> <li>The Making of QAnon: A Crowdsourced Conspiracy: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2021/01/07/the-making-of-qanon-a-crowdsourced-conspiracy/</li> <li>Q: Into the Storm, Directed by Cullen Hoback, 2021, currently available on HBO Max</li> </ul> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marc-snediker/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marc-snediker/support</a>
