There is one poster with tripcodes, and (later) one without tripcodes.
They might be the same person.
This is possibly the authentic Q, having been 'locked out'.
This is also possibly a fake/DS 'Q', trying to undermine our faith in Q - both now and in the future.
If we accept the story that Q was 'locked out', and that 'someone else' can post as Q (with the tripcode), then we won't believe any future posts from Q.
How do we resolve this? ---> Patiently.
The real Q has proved himself in the past with undeniable proofs. If he is truly 'back', he will do so again. In the meantime, be skeptical - even if the posts sound authentic.
Beware of your own confirmation bias - wait patiently for undeniable proof.
Note: I'm getting a few downvotes (without explanatory comments) on a perfectly rational post. Therefore, I may have hit a nerve.
I tend to agree with you (that anons are 'fully trained' and on autopilot at this point).
But IF the endgame requires an open (and secure) communications channel, we need to resolve this situation properly.
And even if we are on autopilot, I'm hoping for (at least) one last 'Good Job!'-type post from Q at the end.
I don't see why Watkins couldn't just insert the Q tripcode anytime he wanted to.
I mean, if I controlled this message board, I could change your username each time you posted. Control of a message board is control of a message board.
I understand the password hash and all that, but there could also be an override of that, as well.
So, the proof will have to come from a Q/Trump delta.
Until then, we can still analyze any drops from both a Real Q and Fake Q perspective.
If it is a fake, then it was a really shitty one, because there is no trust at this point.
And if it is fake, it will just fizzle out on its own. The longer it goes without confirmation, the less valid it is.
Real Q will correct that. Fake Q will not be able to.
