We read it on 4chan and laughed him off like a larp. Then he kept going and we mocked and mocked. Then he started making sense but we still called him a larp like FBIAnon and others before. Eventually it became too coincidental and then too causal.

For months it was background noise on the chans. Then it wasn’t and we realized it was real. I was there, made fun of Q as a larp in early threads.

Turning point for me and a lot of others was when we realized it didn’t matter if it was real because it was bringing together a research community that was making genuine and serious discoveries.

Edit:

As for alerting folks, teased them with what the news was going to start broadcasting and talking about in advance of the news. Not by predicting the future but by knowing the media would attack our findings because we were onto something. There was about a 2 week lag time between our discoveries and media reactions. As we’ve continued down this road, it’s reduced to where they are reacting almost in real time trying to stay ahead of the viral narrative.

It’s been years of watching them maneuver around the Anons trying to discredit the narrative and we’ve encircled them in their own lies by using their reaction against them.
