There is a massive logical gap between "the COMM before the storm" 1 month before Q started posting and the Josh Reid's theory that Q was started by someone unrelated to the movement. You cannot have it both ways.
1st up, I only just got around to watching this and it’s 👌👌🔥🔥.
2nd, I agree with you on this part. I am 99% sure he is talking about the mega grifting of Tracy Beanz and Jerome Corsi. If you were following back in the beginning, they teamed up and attempted to do some Q decodes. They were horrible. And Q called them out for it.
I think this is Josh’s way of closing the gap of some of the early posts that were not literally true (Hillary will be arrested on…), those two bone heads, Alex Jones (Corsi association), and Beanz’s current connection with General Flynn.
Personally, I think the most important Q posts are the first 60 and certainly were not thought up by a mega grifter and a budding citizen journalist that didn’t know what she was really getting involved in at the time.
I 110% think Flynn is legit and involved at a high level, as does Josh. However, I believe it went more like this. I think Q saw the potential in Beanz, rescued her from the grasp of Corsi and AJ by sending Flynn her way, and then called out grifters Corsi and AJ and shut them down (as far as claiming to be Q insiders and decoders).
Tracy Beanz!!! Yes! I am still watching the video and I was along for the Q ride from the beginning, so I was scratching my head trying to remember who the journalist was that Josh might be talking about. I thought about Jerome Corsi, but Corsi is nobody now and Josh mentions that this person is still very active and followed. I can't believe I didn't remember Tracy Beanz. Remember the whole fiasco on Reddit where Tracy Beanz and a couple of others were trying to take over the main Q-following group on Reddit? TheCalmBeforeTheStorm, right? I can't remember exactly the chronology now because there were few that were all running at the same time for a bit, but CBTS was the big one that ultimately got nuked by Reddit and sent a bunch of us scrambling to Voat. So maybe it was an earlier incarnation of CBTS on Reddit. That whole fiasco is why I have paid virtually no attention to anything Tracy Beanz has had to say. I don't discount the possibility that she just made some errors in judgment early on, but that whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth and I have just never really trusted her since.
Thanks, fren. I knew if I searched the comments here, one of you all would remind me. Thank you, thank you.
I'm loving listening to Josh Reid talk about the chronology of what was happening back then.
He can't cover everything so he leaves out MegaAnon being one of the anons on the chans and that she talked about the earliest Q posts, then said she knew who they were--interns in the Whitehouse. Then has her wild last post where she's figured out who they are. I always thought she was validating them back to the beginning with that last post, but what Josh is saying makes me think she called out the grifters (as Josh calls them) rightly and then the Q posts got taken over by what we now know as Q and then a month or two later she figured out who they were and wrote that last post as she was figuring it out and was tickled shitless about the whole thing--who they were and that they knew who she was and were stringing her along, pushing her knowing she would figure it out.
Someday, I'd like to be able to write the screenplay that covers Megs part of the story. :)
WOW!! Glad to see you bring up MegaAnon! She is who I followed in the beginning. I saw a few early Q posts, but they were confusing so I stuck with MegaAnon. When she did her final post, I was devastated. Todd Whiskey would re post her on reddit. I then went back and began to follow Q from Jan. 2018 until...well...now.
Todd Whiskey! Yes! He was pulling Megs posts and consolidating them in one place for easy reading, God bless him! Looking back, what many people don't realize is that Megs posts where ANON posts in the original meaning of that word: "anonymous". Same with Q in the very beginning before Q had a trip code.
What that meant in the case of Megs was that we had to try to ascertain if a post was coming from MegaAnon by her either telling everybody it was her (which she did sometimes) or by her giving us clues that it was her by her vernacular. (It seemed pretty clear to me that she was originally from the south based on how she expressed herself, though I could be wrong.) Todd Whiskey was doing some seriously heavy lifting by sifting through all the posts on 4chan and pulling out Megs' stuff. He's a hero anon in my mind, no doubt.
It's a reddit thread and I abandoned reddit when they nuked CBTS, but here's the compilation for anybody interested in MegaAnon's posts. I've meant to go back and reread them all again (I've done some of that, but not in an organized way). I'm sure I'd be blown away by some of the stuff in retrospect.
