The Future of Q
Added 2023-10-11 23:43:42 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Really stoked on this one! This video, 'The Future of Q' is part informative, and part retrospective video that will likely always remain Patreon-exclusive, simply due to the controversial subject matter being discussed (mostly the alleged ritual 'baby eating' stuff), but I think you guys can handle it.
This video also reveals the true identity of 'Q' through one of its main proponents, Austin Steinbart, who explains that Q is not a person, but a coded artificial intelligence apparatus designed to generate disinformation with the goal of creating a catastrophic internal conflict on American soil.
This video also dives deep into the more out-there beliefs in the qSphere, mainly regarding ritual infant sacrifice in Hollywood, which is at the core of their belief system. To me, their dead-set conviction on the existence of the Adrenochrome economy shows the sheer extent of brainwashing the Q software was able to achieve in such a brief period of time -- from the inception of the COVID pandemic in early 2020, up until January 6 2021 a.k.a. 'The Storm.' In only an 11 month period, 14 million Americans were pushed down the rabbit hole, many of whom were relatively apolitical prior to consuming qAnon-related propaganda on Facebook, Parler, Rumble, or elsewhere.
To me, (as I once narrated in 'This Place Rules) it all comes down to a widespread lack of informational literacy, particularly among the older generations, who don't seem to be able to distinguish between truth and blatant misinformation online. I have to imagine this is because they didn't grow up with Smartphones and unlimited access to social media like we did.
What I mean is this ...
Some of my earliest memories as a pre-pubescent internet urchin were spent debunking 4chan hoaxes, watching batshit conspiracy videos and sitting through cartel decapitation compilations. I believe this to be a shared experience among millennial and Gen-Z internet youth, and one that ultimately served to gradually whittle down our sensitivities to 'shocking' digital media and make us less susceptible to qAnon-style content.
However, our grandparents, less media-savvy family members, and other gullible Americans above 50 years old certainly did not share this experience. Perhaps this is why qAnon propaganda constantly pushes the trope that its purpose is to 'Protect The Kids,' from the forces of evil. It's a convenient straw man that masks its true purpose and markets directly to parent and grandparent-age consumers, many of whom already have residual paranoias from the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, an unsubstantiated moral panic manufactured by conservative Evangelical Christians -- who by ALL recorded metrics, are the New England Patriots of ritualistic child abuse.
Anyways, watching over this footage, I'm struck with a kind of impending doom as we barrel toward another election cycle in 2024. Since the early inception of Q in 2018, AI software has only evolved. As we saw in Ukraine, both sides of the Conflict used deepfake technology to confuse, infuriate, and scramble the enemy. If the engineers behind qAnon decide to 'flip the switch' again, so-to-speak, with updated A.I. software in time for the 2024 election, I can only imagine what kind of damage can be done.
I'd imagine they'd be able to shift conservative political fervor into maximum overdrive, creating a catastrophic shit-show that would make the Capitol Riot look like the 'Pussy Hat' protests in 2017.
With what I now understand about Q, I genuinely think there needs to be some kind of mandated digital literacy curriculum taught to American voters who grew up without the internet, or some type of similar mass intervention. They are far too susceptible to digital disinformation to be accessing the internet while such an advanced propaganda tooi is running amok. This stuff is rotting their brains, and isolating them from their loved ones. It's becoming painstakingly obvious that society as a whole is in a mass psychosis and extremism of all forms preys on the mentally ill.
That being said, I plan to close the chapter on my Q coverage for a while after this series, but I wanted to leave you with this --
These qAnon adherents are not the 'enemy,' but they're our brothers and sisters .. our Mom Moms and Pop Pop's. Helping them to deprogram without a holier-than-thou, Blue-pilled demeanor would genuinely be an act of care. However, this deprogramming must occur on an interpersonal basis as opposed to on a government or state level. Any type of 're-education' mandated by the government reeks of bureaucracy and fascism.
If we continue to punch down on these people, invalidate their concerns, and punish them for their beliefs, it will only enhance their complex of martyrdom and self-victimization.
On a deeper level ..
Looking back, I often wonder if one of the goals of the 'Q' psyop was to prevent class solidarity between Americans, or to prevent conservatives from actualizing Late Stage Capitalism by propagandizing them with fantastical tales of baby-eating demons and Jewish space lasers, directing them toward researching a mythical cabal of invisible 'elites,' while mega-corporations like Blackwater and Vanguard exert global financial control in plain sight and actively divide us into politicized consumer-groups, to make as much profit as possible.
We are all beholden to the limitless capacity of human greed...
and those who shriek in glee that they've 'escaped the Matrix!' ...
are only falling deeper within it.
Anyways,
As many of you know, I've been covering qAnon-related stuff since around 2019 during the 'All Gas No Brakes' days and have a ton of footage that never hit the internet. But for the purposes of this video, I felt like resurrecting some forgotten footage from my younger years...
More specifically, a 'Save our Children' rally in Hollywood which led me to an 'IKEA storm' in Burbank.
I hope you guys enjoy,
Andrew.

2023-12-30 00:49:58 +0000 UTCGreat work and thanks for the thoughtful commentary. I think some of the most powerful aspects of your work rest in your ability to help construct accessible language and syntax for others; whether that is through symbology or more clear use of language/framing. I mean, preventing class solidarity has always been a goal. Whether Q or something else.
2023-12-28 04:06:07 +0000 UTCHi Andrew - thank you for all that you do. Your words: "If we continue to punch down on these people, invalidate their concerns, and punish them for their beliefs, it will only enhance their complex of martyrdom and self-victimization." really resonated with me. We are so lucky to have a journalist like you right now.

2023-11-27 20:38:47 +0000 UTCso Q is just an AI program ? you mentioned that he's not a trump reporter and only wants to see a complete upheaval of the American political system. I was confused as to why the q shaman would want to hang out with him. it seems like he just duped all these people and I thought that's where it was going. then it seems he believes all the conspiracies and complains about being gang stalked, which is a weird paranoia some people have. who knows. it was a great video and I throughly enjoyed it. the content has been amazing.

2023-11-08 07:19:49 +0000 UTCI empathize with your sentiments of impending doom, and the futility as it nears. I've come to understand that humans will always believe what they want to, good or bad, through wishful thinking. It's a natural bias we all have, and part of why we're so manipulatable. Separately, power corrupts. I'd argue that is because "we are all beholden to the limitless capacity of human greed." Combine that concept with deferred accountability the larger a business grows, and of course we end up here. But the real noodle is whether I'm choosing to only focus on the rotten bits because it upholds my world view, a la wishful thinking. As ever, objective introspection and therapy to hone technique are the answers for humans to improve themselves. I have no idea how to fix a broken system, however, and fear whatever answers we'll eventually receive.

2023-11-02 15:30:30 +0000 UTCCan I just say that my Dad is a firm Qanon believer, I'm a M22 and he recently just got kicked out of my family home due to no longer paying bills and constantly trying to convince us that "IT" was coming, since the 2020 election he was slowly exposed to this specific podcase I wish I knew the name (if enough people are interested I could probably find out) but he always said what he was doing was for us. My Dad never was a religious person until he started to get into sound healing and all of the Qanon rabbit hole until a point where he said that god had spoke to him, there was even a point when I had moved out where he was saying that there was an alien inside of our attic. It's easy to wrap this up into "oh hes crazy" and you'd be right to an extent, but it just frustrates our family so much because at the end of the day we've realized it's a sort of mid life crisis and he's found new meaning with a highly supportive and enabling group. He's currently living with some woman he met on tour for a group talking about vaccines and all sorts of things, he wrapped me into attending and filming 1 or 2 before (being a channel 5 fan I felt like I was undercover) I saw cutt outs of Mike Lindell and a bunch of other merchandise, I've slowly come to realize the sadness that is how these people are being taken advantage of with their money, and it makes me think of how my Dad had bought trump coins around 2021 saying they'd be worth millions. I just want to say thank you, I've tried showing my Dad your video on the war in Ukraine and he always will find an excuse onto how he's right and I'm wrong. My biggest fear is seeing how most to if not all of these theories can tie into the hitler wasn't a bad guy, he told my brother the other day that it was Christians who were killed during the holocaust. Not sure how to act around him anymore and I'm almost to the point of no contact but part of me wants to hold on hope that he'll realize how mislead hes been.
2023-10-31 00:40:35 +0000 UTCI know I'm late to the conversation but around the 4:45 mark he starts talking about being "gang stalked" and "targeted" (probably an allusion to the concept of being a "targeted individual"). I met someone a few years ago who used the same language, and when I looked it up I discovered it's basically a manifestation of schizophrenia, the answer to the question "What would happen if people hallucinating a conspiracy theory like John Nash in A Beautiful Mind could link up in a subreddit". NYT did an interesting deep dive into the phenomenon here: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/11/health/gang-stalking-targeted-individuals.html
2023-10-29 07:13:19 +0000 UTCi must admit that I don't factually know if it has been going that long but it sure feels like it. If it only literally began during this Ai-"birth" era than g'damn it's effective. Sheesh.

2023-10-26 02:12:04 +0000 UTCOpinion (obviously) - that whole Q bullshit, who has been massively spread by Alex Jones (think thats the name) has been going on LOOONG before the level of AI that they supposedly claim. That dude is on serious bullshit if I ever saw anything. I pity whoever believes this bullshit 'cause this is indeed some serious bullshit excuse to get attention from those dudes on the video.

2023-10-26 01:57:18 +0000 UTCas much as your inquisitions seem validated on objective search, I urge you to remember that channel 5 is but a journalism entity. To notify, to share, to document. Time is needed for the answers you seek,

2023-10-26 01:51:18 +0000 UTCAndrew I'm so confused about a bunch of things... So if this guy is for real, and he is part of a hacker group that claims to have made the Q AI to spread misinformation and cause havoc... does he actually believe some of the conspiracies they are sharing? or non of them and its all to stir up people? or both? do they have evidence of some of this conspiracies? Do you trust his word? or is it that he's in fact part of the shared q anon hysteria and he's just taken a place proclaiming to be part of its inception? And if he is to be trusted that he is actually part of this group and Q is indeed an AI Psyops... why is none one talking about this in the mainstream media at all? I don't see it any web search engine, news, wikis... why does no one know this? And if all of this is true and his claims are legit??... could the group be prosecuted as a first legal precedent of AI psyops operations on civilians done by an insurrection group? As in could the be blamed for what happened in the capitol? Can't wait for the other parts to come! This is all very insightful

2023-10-18 04:37:41 +0000 UTCI think that while it's true older people don't have the same media savvy we younger generations do, my coworker who sits next to me, is 30 years old, and he is still caught up in all this. Fully Anti-Semitic, QAnon, #savethechildren, all that. He thinks Hawaii was set on fire by the government, and he's only four years older than me. We went to the same high school and had the same teachers. Sometimes you have to wonder.

2023-10-15 04:00:03 +0000 UTCGreat introspective breakdown. I 100% agree in the main points - internet literacy is a real problem that must be addressed through educational means - it’s likely that whatever drives Q has the primary purpose of dividing the US - best practice to overcome this is through empathy, non-judgmental listening and support. Thanks for all the hard work you do!

2023-10-14 09:37:00 +0000 UTCWhile I agree with the assessment of what Qanon has caused, intentionally or not - that is, a breakdown in working class cohesion and solidarity, to the benefit of a wealthy minority, the irony's not lost on me that from the other "side" such an assessment looks a lot like, well, a conspiracy theory. Maybe the world has become too complicated for us to understand anymore. Sociological research suggests humans evolved to thrive in groups of only about 150 or so...

2023-10-12 21:09:20 +0000 UTCHas Q really done anything they could be prosecuted for? Just posted on message boards and likely from another country. Strange that the writing style changed so much at certain points. Def could be AI now but I think it was originally a person or group of people who at times had someone feeding them information and helping to shape it's narrative.

2023-10-12 15:36:04 +0000 UTCThe lack of prosecution could simply point to Psyop instead and it is just CIA/FBI interns posting on 4Chan. I'm certainly not an AI expert but even if 'they' had something like Chat GPT at the start of 'Q' (likely) it would have to have still been managed by someone. I would think.
