Q and On is the world's largest online

0:02

political conspiracy movement. Followers

0:05

believe someone code named Q is provided

0:07

them with secret information from inside the

0:09

White House. No one really knows

0:12

the real identity of Q, though we

0:14

aim to change that. I'm

0:17

Jake Hanrahan and this is Q Clearance,

0:20

a podcast series aimed at unmasking

0:22

the true identity of Q. This

0:25

is brought to you by IR Radio and

0:27

Q Daytaur Media. Last

0:30

episode, we built the final part

0:32

of our case that shows very strongly

0:35

that the Watkins family are currently

0:37

in control of the Q and On account.

0:40

In this final episode, will

0:42

be reviewing all the information that we've

0:44

learned along the way and looking

0:46

at how we can maybe help to understand

0:49

and perhaps stop the spread of

0:51

life consuming conspiracy theories

0:54

like Q and On. Firstly,

0:56

though, I just want to thank everyone that's

0:58

been listening. We've had an

1:01

excellent reception to Q Clearance.

1:03

I am very happy that you have found

1:05

this useful. Thank you very much. Now,

1:08

many many people have got in contact with

1:10

me since the series launched. Some

1:13

just say, oh wow, I didn't know how deep

1:15

Q and On was. Some have thanked

1:17

me for explaining the details of the theory.

1:20

But many have reached out to say how

1:22

their families have been tipped

1:25

upside down by relatives

1:27

who have let Q and On take over their whole

1:30

lives. This might sound dramatic,

1:32

but there are hundreds, probably

1:34

thousands of people all over

1:36

the US and the rest of the world

1:39

who have family members that believe they're

1:41

evil or somehow their enemy

1:44

because they question Q. It's

1:46

a real problem, and like Sarah

1:48

Hyatt Tower said in episode one,

1:51

Q and On is looking more and

1:53

more like a cult. Speaking

1:56

of messages, one of the more interesting

1:58

ones that I got Joe yesterday

2:01

came from a man who claims to have known

2:03

Paul Furber for decades. If

2:06

you remember, Paul Furber is who we

2:08

think first had control of

2:10

the Q and on account and made it popular

2:13

as it moved over from four Chan

2:15

to h Chan. This

2:18

guy who messaged me he wants to remain

2:20

anonymous, will call him Jack. He

2:22

messaged me saying he'd listened to

2:24

Q Clearance and he was shocked

2:27

to hear Paul Furber's name. He

2:29

showed me evidence that proved he

2:32

was, in fact an old acquaintance of

2:34

Furber's, quite a bit closer

2:36

than an acquaintance actually in some ways,

2:39

but I don't want to say too much. This

2:41

guy Jack said something

2:43

to me very interesting whilst

2:46

we had a conversation. He

2:48

said, quote, do I

2:50

think Paul Furber could have been q and

2:52

On? Absolutely the

2:54

manner of speech and writing fit

2:57

him. I believe end quote.

3:00

Remember this guy has known Paul

3:02

Furber for decades. He proved

3:04

it to me. Jack then

3:06

went on to say that Paul Furber is

3:08

a very smart guy, but has long

3:11

been diagnosed with a serious

3:13

mental health issue. He said

3:15

he thinks Furber is deteriorating at

3:17

the moment. He also said that Paul

3:19

has always been a Christian fundamentalist,

3:22

which would certainly add up with some of

3:24

the hard line Christian que

3:27

drops that were posted on a Chan.

3:30

Now, if you look at Furber's bizarre tweets

3:32

in his one man failed mission to

3:35

make Big Dick and On relevant,

3:37

I think it's definitely a possibility

3:40

that he has been having issues with

3:43

his mental health for a while. I'm not saying

3:45

that to take the Pierce. It's genuinely

3:47

quite clear that this is going on, and it's not

3:50

good. This is one of the

3:52

saddest parts of long drawn

3:55

out conspiracy movements. Like Q

3:57

and On, it not only attracts griff

4:00

as and con men, but also sweeps

4:02

up the mentally ill or

4:04

It makes those already fragile in

4:06

that respect slip down a

4:09

dangerous rabbit hole of hoaxes.

4:14

Anyway, Q Clearance final

4:16

episode, let's recap it all.

4:19

If you cast your mind back nine weeks

4:21

ago to episode one, you'll

4:24

remember that's when we first laid

4:26

out what Q and On actually is

4:29

and what the people that follow it believing.

4:32

Let's go over it again so we can start connecting

4:35

this Q Clearance map of hours from

4:37

start to finish in one place.

4:40

So, as we discussed in episode

4:43

one, if anyone asks you

4:45

what Q and On is, you can completely

4:47

free them out by saying the following.

4:51

Q is a decentralized

4:54

global conspiracy theory movement

4:56

that believes a man with a special government

4:58

clearance in a mirror car is posting

5:01

secret information from the White

5:03

House. This guy is known

5:06

as Q. Q is doing

5:08

this by posting the supposed government

5:10

information on an image

5:12

board website that allows pedophiles

5:15

and Nazi terror groups that want to

5:17

put an end to America to post

5:20

openly. Q is doing

5:22

all of this because he claims

5:24

he's a true American patriot

5:27

and that his mission is to stop

5:29

a deep state cabal of pedophiles

5:32

within the Democrat Party and

5:34

the so called mainstream liberal

5:37

media. He needs to stop

5:39

them launching a silent coup data

5:41

against Trump, who is also

5:44

in on the act under the code name

5:46

Q plus. It's

5:48

absolutely unbelievably ridiculous.

5:51

Why would an anti pedophile

5:53

American patriot with a Q clearance

5:56

post secret information on an

5:58

image board where pedophile piles are

6:00

allowed to roam free and neo Nazis

6:03

are allowed to talk about how much they want to

6:05

launch terror attacks to bring America

6:07

to its needs. It makes no sense.

6:10

Not only that, why would he choose

6:12

to form this global digital

6:15

army when Q could just get anyone

6:17

planning a U S cop arrested immediately

6:20

if he had the evidence he claims to. If

6:23

someone has a Q clearance, they're certainly

6:25

trusted by the government on some level

6:28

above your average citizen. I don't

6:30

think it would be hard for Q to get the

6:32

authorities to take his evidence

6:35

seriously if he had any.

6:37

What's more, again, if Q was real,

6:40

why the funk did Donald Trump lose the election

6:42

recently? Well as we

6:44

know by now Q and On followers

6:46

have an answer for everything. But

6:48

just keep in mind that these are completely

6:51

fair and logical questions for

6:53

anyone you encounter that might

6:55

be Q and On curious. In fact,

6:58

I have met people that are kind of interested

7:01

in Q and they think there might be something behind

7:03

it, And before they get too deep into

7:05

it, I've said to them, Hey, why would a guy

7:07

that wants to stop pedophiles post

7:09

on an image board that allows pedophiles.

7:13

H Chan, for example, even had its own

7:15

board where pedophiles could gather and

7:18

talk about horrific acts of child

7:20

abuse as if it was some kind of war

7:22

story. Why would somebody like

7:25

Q if he was he he says he is, why would he

7:27

do that? Often this does actually

7:29

help when people go, oh, yeah, what the fuck? Yeah,

7:31

this is actually quite dark. Unfortunately

7:33

a lot of people disregardless and just

7:36

say, oh, well Q had to use h

7:38

chan and a con because the

7:40

cabal tried to stop him everywhere else.

7:42

It's ridiculous, but it is the way it is, So

7:46

we know what you and On is. What

7:48

it isn't is a left wing

7:51

hoax. Remember episode two,

7:53

That's the one where we thoroughly debunked

7:56

one of the much type theories that

7:58

Q and on is being one by a bunch of leftist

8:01

hoaxes called the Woming

8:03

Collective. The idea was that they

8:05

were doing this just to try and make mega

8:07

boomers look stupid. We

8:10

heard from one of the lead members

8:12

of the Woming Collective ourselves, and

8:15

he was adamant that it wasn't them. None

8:17

of it really added up either. The Woming

8:19

Collective has always claimed to their stunts

8:22

and hoaxes. No one has ever

8:24

come forward to say, yeah, we're

8:26

behind Q and on and it's definitely run its

8:28

course. Now before the election would have been

8:30

the time they didn't do it. It's

8:32

not the Wombing Collective. This theory

8:35

was all just badly researched

8:37

hype from an old BuzzFeed

8:39

article. The article itself was

8:41

actually built off of a four Chan

8:44

post that basically said, ha

8:46

ha, we've tripped the right wing boomers

8:48

with this Q and on hoax. Just

8:51

remember almost never take

8:53

four chance seriously, as the journalist

8:55

did that wrote that article. In episode

8:58

three, we learned all of out the aforementioned

9:01

Paul Furber. This is when

9:03

we discovered that he'd likely taken

9:05

over the q and on account after

9:07

it was kicked off of four Chan. Remember,

9:10

Further was the only one that could supposedly

9:14

verify that when Q posted

9:16

it was the real QUE, a problem that is

9:19

obviously very rife on a completely

9:21

anonymous image board like four

9:24

chan or h Chan. After

9:26

this, in episode four, we

9:28

showed how Paul Furber had his

9:30

Q and on train hijacked. That

9:33

is, we think the Watkins family

9:35

took the Q and on account away from

9:37

Further. How well,

9:40

remember Jim Watkins son Ron

9:42

Watkins, was the h Chan

9:44

admin, effectively the only

9:47

person above Paul Furber that

9:49

could verify that Q was in fact

9:51

Q. He played a big switchero

9:54

on Furber and became Q.

9:57

Why would he do this, Well, the Watkins

9:59

family needed this train to speed

10:02

up. The more people that came to h

10:04

and, the better. More traffic means

10:06

more advertisers, which means more money.

10:09

If the Watkins could control the Q

10:11

narrative, they could better control

10:13

how people engage with it. Therefore,

10:15

they could bring more people to h and to

10:18

check up on all the drops. Also,

10:20

both the dad and the son are big

10:23

time MAGA fundamentalists who

10:25

dwell in the darkest part of the

10:27

Internet and mixed themselves amongst

10:29

conspiracy theorists and petos.

10:32

It makes sense that someone like this would

10:35

own a Q and On and

10:37

then the US election

10:39

happened Biden one. As

10:42

we heard in episode four, Q

10:45

and On's were absolutely certain

10:47

that Trump, their god king, was

10:49

going to win again. There was no

10:51

doubt in their mind. Q and On said

10:54

it will be a Trump landslide.

10:57

When Trump wasn't reelected, many

10:59

Q and On followers actually took to the

11:01

Internet to state they're discussed

11:03

and basically said they'd lost their faith

11:06

in Q. Others, though, went

11:08

the other way. They doubled down. It's

11:11

now largely Q and On followers

11:13

that are pushing the election fraud theory,

11:16

stating that the Democrats stole

11:18

the election. They don't think

11:20

that that means it's over though, no,

11:23

Many of them still believe that that even

11:25

that is all part of Que's

11:27

plan and that Trump will

11:30

sweep in to take the election back and

11:32

send everyone that he needs to

11:34

send to prison and let them

11:36

rot, and then the plan will

11:38

be done. This theory is gaining

11:40

weight within their community, especially

11:43

since Trump retweeted a

11:45

Mega News segment that featured

11:48

Ron Watkins as a technical

11:50

analyst. This is what we spoke

11:53

about in episode six when we stated

11:55

that we believe the Watkins family

11:58

are definitely behind the q and on account

12:00

currently. In episode seven,

12:03

we made our case for all of this, showing

12:05

the many coincidences between

12:08

Jim Watkins's online activity

12:11

and Q. We also

12:13

stuck our heads into the back end and

12:15

showed that h N and A

12:18

tune are on the same server as

12:20

some of the most prominent Q and

12:22

on websites on the Internet. What

12:25

a coincidence that

12:28

leads us up to now. Right

12:37

now, Q has been mostly quiet

12:40

since the election. There's

12:42

only been a handful of Q drops

12:44

recently, and many Q and

12:46

ons are clearly very worried.

12:49

They keep coming out with these bombastic

12:52

statements that I think actually show

12:54

they're realizing something fishy

12:57

is going on. They're protesting

12:59

a little bit too much, in my opinion. For

13:01

example, one big q and on account

13:04

that has over two thousand followers

13:06

on Twitter wrote this the other

13:09

day. This is major patriot.

13:11

He said, quote, you are

13:13

witnessing the greatest intelligence

13:15

operation in history, military

13:18

precision at its finest end.

13:21

Quote. He's referring

13:23

to what he thinks is Donald

13:26

Trump and queue's current

13:28

plan post election. Now,

13:31

maybe I'm wrong, but the constant

13:33

doubling down at this stage feels

13:36

like he might be trying to convince

13:38

himself more than anyone

13:40

else. Of course, he

13:42

could very well believe all of this.

13:45

That's very possible. Many other

13:47

Q and on's are awarding Trump with a

13:50

golden medal despite the fact

13:52

he's not done anything yet. None of his vote

13:54

fraud cases are being taken seriously

13:57

by the courts. But either way,

13:59

the qs think he's doing a great job. They

14:01

think it's genius. Here's

14:03

another que and on account hailing Trump

14:06

as a military genius. The

14:08

truth will do, says quote,

14:11

do you understand how long our

14:13

president has been preparing, studying,

14:17

analyzing. Not only is he

14:19

a brilliant businessman, but at

14:22

this guy, real, Donald Trump

14:24

is a military genius. I could

14:26

go on and on, and

14:29

then he's got the two eyes emoji and

14:31

then it's ten slash two slash.

14:34

Obviously this date and the tweet is

14:36

from John Donald J. Trump. It says,

14:39

the Chinese and our hacking White House computers?

14:42

Why not they already owned the place?

14:44

They think that the hardcore

14:47

neoliberal democrats of

14:49

the US. Somehow the same

14:51

as totalitarian communists

14:53

of the CCP in China.

14:56

I don't know anyway.

14:59

Another Q and on tweet that shows them

15:01

doubling down is this one

15:04

by a guy called ntheos.

15:06

Quote. The boss Man has been

15:08

telegraphing moves all day,

15:11

the boss man being Trump. Hope

15:13

everyone's listening. No wasted

15:15

words, no wasted tweets.

15:17

He speaks, It happens hashtag

15:21

son sue. And the

15:24

tweet that he's quoted here is from Donald

15:26

Trump, again obviously, and it says the

15:29

invisible enemy will soon be in

15:31

full retreat. Now. When Trump

15:33

is talking about the invisible enemy and

15:35

stuff like that, it definitely plays

15:37

into the hands of Q and on supporters.

15:40

That's very much the kind of talk that Q

15:42

and on uses. Here is the

15:45

last, but one of my all time favorite

15:48

Q and on tweets of recent

15:51

days. It's from a guy called

15:53

d o q Doc. It says,

15:55

quote, if there was a man who was

15:57

persecuted more than Trump has been

16:00

in outside of Jesus Christ,

16:02

who is that man? They killed

16:04

Jesus and he was perfect.

16:07

Don't think for a second they aren't

16:09

going to try and kill you

16:12

and me. End quote, And

16:14

the reply is jeb

16:17

Alsonaro, the openly fascist

16:20

Brazilian president. So this

16:22

this guy is saying that, you know,

16:24

Trump is comparable to

16:27

Jesus Christ. He's saying that Trump is

16:29

the second most persecuted

16:32

or maybe as persecuted person

16:34

in the history of the world as

16:37

Jesus Christ. I mean, it's

16:41

it's unbelievable to think that people are saying this,

16:43

but that's what's being said. Now.

16:45

I am laughing at this, because come

16:48

on, it is insane, it's laughable. The

16:50

coping mechanisms present here must be

16:53

stretched very thin. However,

16:55

there's one thing I hope people can take

16:57

away from this podcast

16:59

from Q Clearance, and that is

17:02

that actually, you can't just mop

17:04

these people into submission. You

17:06

will not be able to engage with

17:08

Q and On's by laughing in their face

17:11

and telling them how stupid they are. There

17:15

are actually many highly intelligent

17:17

people who have somehow fallen for this

17:20

hoax. In many ways,

17:22

it feels like the old contagious

17:24

dancing phenomena. A whole village

17:27

back in the day would start dancing in the

17:29

streets, not able to stop. The

17:31

more people that saw them, the more that joined.

17:33

It was involuntary, a very interesting

17:36

situation. Q and On is

17:38

like this in a way, but for

17:40

anyone that's remotely interested in

17:42

right wing conspiracy theories, it's

17:45

an immediate snowball. I don't

17:48

know how to stop it, but I do think

17:50

part of the problem lies within

17:53

ourselves. I know that's not

17:55

going to be a popular opinion, but it's the one

17:57

I have. It's very easy

17:59

to dream and laugh at people we disagree

18:02

with, but it's a lot harder to find

18:04

common ground, which I think is

18:06

something we should be trying to do more of now,

18:09

especially when you consider what's going on

18:12

in the last five years. The toxic

18:15

culture war in America has

18:17

dropped its cluster munitions

18:19

if you like, all over the place. You

18:22

cannot escape the viciously partisan

18:24

dialogue taking over American

18:26

politics. This all

18:29

rose up in a time when faith in

18:31

mainstream media was hitting an

18:33

all time low, and Donald

18:36

Trump made his mission to

18:38

label journalists as enemies.

18:41

Now that is not a partisan

18:44

viewpoint. It's very clear. He said

18:46

they are the enemy of the people, and

18:48

if you like, we can talk about Obama too. He

18:50

did a lot of bad things for the freedom of journalists

18:52

in America, but presently we're talking

18:54

about Trump. Trump has said

18:57

that the journalists that basically

18:59

say anything thing that doesn't go along with his line

19:01

of thinking are the enemies

19:03

of the people. That is an

19:05

incredibly dangerous comment for

19:08

the former president of the most

19:10

powerful country in the world to make.

19:17

Now, if people ardently follow Trump,

19:19

they're already going to be mixed up within the

19:21

culture war in the US. If

19:24

they're mixed up in that from the

19:26

right wing maga perspective, they

19:29

have a leader Trump. When

19:31

Trump says what he does about the media,

19:34

the troops then follow. We've

19:36

seen in a small space of time hundreds

19:38

of thousands of people begin to completely

19:41

disengage from any media

19:44

there isn't echoing their own opinions

19:46

back to them. When that happens,

19:48

these people dig deeper into so called

19:51

alternative media. Now, some

19:53

alternative media is very good and very

19:55

on point. I run my own platform,

19:58

Popular Front, which some people would consider

20:00

an alternative media platform.

20:03

However, a lot of the alternative

20:05

media are simply just right

20:08

wing opinion pieces or left wing opinion

20:10

pieces on the other side, presented

20:13

as news, and they always

20:15

have a dash of drama at all

20:17

times. In a way,

20:19

this is how Q cut his teeth.

20:22

Remember, One of the many Q and On

20:24

slogans is we are the news

20:26

Now. The idea spread by a Q is

20:29

that his followers don't need to watch

20:31

the news anymore, they don't need to engage with it

20:33

because they can create it themselves.

20:36

They then feel like they have a more

20:39

important role and therefore a

20:41

better place in the community. Everyone's

20:44

agreeing with them, so to make everyone happy,

20:47

they link absolutely everything

20:49

back to Q and Trump and

20:51

their champion for it by their new que

20:53

and non friends. Now,

20:56

I'm not trying to sound like some kind of five

20:59

pint for posso for here, but I

21:01

think we do live in some very dark

21:03

times in many different

21:06

ways. Whether you like it

21:08

or not, It's true that we're living in a time

21:10

of rampant hype of consumerism,

21:14

NonStop urbanization, and an

21:16

over reliance on social

21:18

media. The world can become

21:20

a very lonely place.

21:23

Everyone is online all the time.

21:25

Now, you might have family around

21:27

you, but they might not ever be really

21:29

present due to the social media

21:31

and the phones. So therefore,

21:35

if you can find an online tribe

21:37

of your own that patch you on the back every day,

21:40

you can find yourself a surrogate family.

21:42

All be a very shallow one. This

21:45

is, in my opinion, one of the biggest

21:47

draws for Q and On's. They

21:49

have a place where they're welcomed.

21:52

On top of that, it's all very exciting.

21:55

They believe they're taking part in a global

21:58

investigation of the highest

22:00

steaks. They build new theories

22:02

out of nothing and are told how smart

22:04

they are by Q for doing it, and

22:06

they're also told how stupid

22:09

everyone else is for not seeing their

22:11

excellence. Essentially, it's

22:13

grooming. It segregates people

22:15

from their real life, and it gives them a

22:18

false sense of power within a new

22:20

community that will always tell them that

22:22

they're right. Many people want

22:24

that, and it's not always their fault.

22:27

Life is often boring and

22:29

painful. If these people can find

22:31

a place to feel useful outside

22:34

of their everyday existence on a level

22:36

as secretive and powerful as they think

22:38

you and on is, it's no wonder

22:40

they fall for cues lies every time

22:43

in a fuckt up way. I am

22:45

sure for many Q and On's that

22:48

the real plan is the friends

22:50

they made along the way. That

22:52

would be fine if Q wasn't calling

22:55

for the mass murder of any politicians

22:57

that don't agree with his politics, and

22:59

if he wasn't tearing families apart, but

23:02

Q is doing that now.

23:04

I don't think Q is going to last forever.

23:07

I think it's probably going to fade out within the next year

23:09

or two. But I do think the next

23:11

iteration of Q, which trust

23:13

me, will come, I

23:16

think that will cause even more damage.

23:19

I'm not sure how to combat it all, but

23:22

from my experience researching all

23:24

of this, engaging with q and On followers

23:27

and constantly reading them many posts,

23:30

I think one thing that's maybe helpful

23:32

is listening and engaging.

23:35

I know that sounds simple, but you never

23:37

know how much that can help a person. Perhaps

23:40

you have a slightly wacky uncle

23:43

or your mom is over sharing conspiracy

23:45

theories on Facebook. Don't

23:47

scream at them, don't ignore them,

23:50

and don't try to shame them in front of

23:52

others. Forget all of this canceling culture.

23:54

Forget that. Instead, maybe

23:57

log off, take them outside for a walk

23:59

and speak to them before it's too

24:01

late. Don't just do it once, either,

24:04

change your routines to make sure they don't

24:06

change theirs and become obsessed with

24:08

this insane Q and On theory.

24:11

Now, if it is too late and they're already

24:13

deep in the Q and On Maze. Maybe

24:16

try to talk to them to see if they'll listen

24:18

to Q Clearance with you make

24:20

it a game. Say you want them to debunk here.

24:22

I don't know. I'm not just saying that because

24:24

yeah, I want people to listen to Q Clearance. I've

24:27

put a lot of work into this with the help

24:29

of Sarah Hightower, and I think

24:31

what we've done here is pointing out many

24:33

of the floors to Q and On

24:36

without trying to totally degrade the Q and

24:38

On people. It's distressful

24:40

for people that are living with

24:43

a family torn apart by Q right

24:45

now. But just remember

24:47

Q will eventually fall. His

24:50

base is already crumbling. When

24:53

Q and On start to clear their eyes, don't

24:56

laugh at them or tell them I told you so.

24:58

Just try to re build whatever you've

25:01

lost. Oh

25:06

when one last thing, Fuck Jim

25:08

Watkins, Fuck Ron Watkins.

25:14

This was Q Clearance. Thank you very much
