Has 'Q' Been Outed?

[Delldude]

Has 'Q' finally been found?

“Open your eyes,” the online post began, claiming, “Many in our govt worship Satan.”

That warning, published on a freewheeling online message board in October 2017, was the beginning of the movement now known as QAnon. Paul Furber was its first apostle.

As the stream of messages, most signed only “Q,” grew into a sprawling conspiracy theory, the mystery surrounding their authorship became a central fascination for its followers — who was the anonymous Q?

Now two teams of forensic linguists say their analysis of the Q texts show that Mr. Furber, one of the first online commentators to call attention to the earliest messages, actually played the lead role in writing them.

Sleuths hunting for the writer behind Q have increasingly overlooked Mr. Furber and focused their speculation on another QAnon booster: Ron Watkins, who operated a website where the Q messages began appearing in 2018 and is now running for Congress in Arizona. And the scientists say they found evidence to back up those suspicions as well. Mr. Watkins appears to have taken over from Mr. Furber at the beginning of 2018. Both deny writing as Q.

The forensic analyses have not been previously reported. Two prominent experts in such linguistic detective work who reviewed the findings for The Times called the conclusions credible and persuasive.

In a telephone interview from his home near Johannesburg, Mr. Furber, 55, did not dispute that Q’s writing resembled his own. Instead, he claimed that Q’s posts had influenced him so deeply that they altered his prose.

Mr. Watkins, in a telephone interview, said, “I am not Q.”

The two analyses — one by Claude-Alain Roten and Lionel Pousaz of OrphAnalytics, a Swiss start-up; the other by the French computational linguists Florian Cafiero and Jean-Baptiste Camps — built on long-established forms of forensic linguistics that can detect telltale variations, revealing the same hand in two texts. In writing the Federalist Papers, for example, James Madison favored “whilst” over “while,” and Alexander Hamilton tended to write “upon” instead of “on.”

Instead of relying on expert opinion, the computer scientists used a mathematical approach known as stylometry. Practitioners say they have replaced the art of the older studies with a new form of science, yielding results that are measurable, consistent and replicable.

Sophisticated software broke down the Q texts into patterns of three-character sequences and tracked the recurrence of each possible combination.

There's one in every crowd.

 

[fncceo]

There's one in every crowd.

Apparently 10 to 15 per cent of every crowd.

Apparently 10 to 15 per cent of every crowd.

As more and more of the old hatreds die away that percentage will keep increasing until it gets to about a third of the population, which is what God intended in the first place.

"Q" is more a concept and perspective than a specific individual.

It's been oft said that no "conspiracy" could exist because someone(s) would come forward and expose such. Yet as we oft see, those "whistle-blowers" get marginalized and defamed to point of non-relavance = "ain't true/real". Hence those whom would expose oft wind up not exposing, and being victimized in the process.

"Conspiracies" can run deep and effective beyond expectations.

So where are we left regards the reality of "conspiracies"/"cabals" . . .

History suggests no meaningful limit upon such, as at the same time little restraint upon their exercise of their agenda(s).

Would seem that coalitions of "parties" with focused agendas = "conspiracies", to attain certain goals have existed through human history and on too many occasions been effective and profitable towards their ultimate ends/goals.

"Q" was one of many inside voices saying "look here, things aren't what they seem nor what they are presented to be, or result in". Is such really a "bad" thing compared to the alternate of being duped, mis-lead, and tricked into results we may not want?

Is such really an aberration of the intent of the First Amendment?

Lies and conspiracy theories are ours and aberration of the first amendment those nuts should be locked up.

I know it was terrible they made up lies about all of them.

John Bolton and the Lincoln Project jerkoffs are 'Q'.

But Biden went and called out the military before the first truck even arrives.

Nope, it's a Right wing KKKult thing.

Trump and QAnon: The cult and the conspiracy

Donald Trump re-emerges with a political message laden with conspiracies – even an endorsement of the shady movement.

Trump’s embrace of the conspiracy theory is growing stronger. An extremism expert is worried.

Winco is a left wing patsy for his parties propaganda.

No chance you have definitive proof?

Who gives a rat's ass who 'Q' is?.........only the deranged left, that's who.
