Just interested in hearing how others came across Q.
Personally, I quit following all news back in 2017, due to the negativity. I'd consider myself a news junkie before that and always very conservative. I didn't vote for Trump in the 2016 primaries. I honestly forgot who I voted for then, but did in the general. I wasn't really sure about Trump then. ("Fun" fact – I believe 2016 was the election my mom went to vote and had a ballot already filled out. We're in Alabama, definitely not a swing state, but interesting nonetheless. I've wished so many times she had taken pictures and documented that like crazy.)
Anyway, the whole covid crud came last year and I remember someone saying they thought the masks and lockdown crap was coming here. I brushed it off, and a week later it was.
I won't lie, I believed a lot of it for a good while. I still only watched news about covid, and even that it was more "stats". It probably wasn't until around June or July that, after I saw the silencing of opposition on Facebook that I began to really start questioning. I remember one video that doctors put out that was deleted as soon as it uploaded. Very weird.
I deleted my Facebook around September or October of last year and have since deleted my less used Twitter and IG.
To say their OWN tactics of censorship awoken me is a huge understatement.
I wasn't sure what the election would hold. I stayed up until they decided to "stop counting." Then I really awoke, I guess you could say.
I started following some people for 100% of my news – Lin Wood, Ron Watkins, Trump attorneys, etc. Somehow, I was lead to discussions of plans and eventually saw posts from Q. And really picked up since then.
What's great for me is my parents follow a lot, too. Dad always tries to get me on X22 (which I do listen sometimes), and so we're always able to discuss things. They've been following longer than I have, apparently lol.
Anyway, I'm a relatively new anon and was wondering how others found out about Q?
You’ll notice the responses you get are from more recent arrivals. That should tell you something.
The quality and depth of Q research is inversely proportional to its popularity.
Though you sound sincere the construct of your information trail is full of holes. By 2020 big tech algos effectively suppressed natural linkages; newbies starting down rabbit hole would quickly reach dead end. X22 was suspended from YT shortly after the election. Nevertheless, awakening is not dependent on technology.
Whether you are a plant or not, this board is studied to learn how to control those of us who have become somewhat immune to the well organized brainwashing.
So here’s a word to the watchers: the awakening has nothing to do with Q. We are all “Winston” who perceive 2+2=4. Truth is tangible. And as our Founders declared, “self-evident.” All the money and total control of “the narrative” can never be more than a Potemkin Village.
Q appeared as a whirlpool in the ocean of research and awareness, a gravitational force, a gathering motion. And that force is centripetal — information does not come from Q. “We are Q” is a reality.
Those paddling in the peripheral shallows playing with “decodes” and “proofs” are a wonderful distraction to occupy corrupt media and ‘law enforcement’. They can be used to denounce and discredit our movement but they can never stop it.
The problem is, I wasn't researching OR looking for news. The only news I read was tech news (Hacker News/Android news). You can somewhat easily tell the huge bias when reading those.
National/world news I pretty much quit cold turkey.
So, perhaps it has holes, I suppose. I'm hoping that's why. I wasn't a huge Facebook user, either, and had 90%+ of my "friends" hidden. Again, I didn't want to hear their opinions on stuff.
I can't say I even heard of Q until after November. Again, I wasn't looking for it. I didn't know about all the people suspended from YouTube long before I found out. I watched Crowder long long ago (before 2016 elections when he wasn't as popular as he is today) and recently found out he also got the ban.
I'm telling you, there are other people out there like me who have no idea. Some of it isn't because they don't want to know... they just don't know to look. I didn't know to look. I wish years ago someone would have told me...
Had told me + told me there was a plan. I always knew there was weird/corrupt stuff going on, especially with liberals, but never knew how deep it went into RINOs (Tea Party showed me a tiny bit of it – but even that, I didn't go researching heavily).
Also, I admit that I was part of the problem we have today...
