QAnon
– the group no one is talking about – at least by those of us on
the right. Leftist media certainly talked about them before
and after the election. And I want to talk about them
in this post. QAnon is being billed as a group of “conservative
Trump supporters,” responsible for the “insurrection” at the US
Capitol on January 6th.
Q, themselves, have since identified this way, and media has been more than happy to report it. I
am not going to argue the fact that they may or may
not be responsible for the January 6thnightmare.
I actually believe they are to
blame. But who they
are and how they
got there is another story.
But first, let me say, that wasn't an "insurrection"; it was a riot. That claim is probably for another discussion. Or maybe we could even just let go the discrepancy in labeling. Whatever one wants to call it, it was effective.
But
do the majority of people even know
anything about QAnon? Do we know who
they are, and their purpose? Really? “Conservative
Republicans”? Uh, no.
QAnon’s biggest
claim to fame is that they contributed
to the many
rioters that stormed the
Capitol on January 6th.
On that we can probably agree. But in what capacity, did they
participate? That is
where we should focus. I maintain they were agents of the left
– possibly via the FBI. “Useful idiots” were used
and incited to achieve what
actually happened on that day. Do I have any proof of what I
believe? Nope. I guess not. But I have as much proof as
those trying to link it all to Donald Trump.
Only I have an additional asset – common sense.
QAnon
is a mysterious group which basically became
a movement within the years of the Trump Presidency; it
was first noticed on the internet in 2017. Their
purpose focuses around
the belief that our government is evil and is corrupted by a
"deep state" which controls
everything for their own evil gain and agenda. QAnon is
said to be a “far right conspiracy group”, that has actually been
able to penetrate those in mainstream who are on the conservative side. In
part, that is true. I will get to that. There is a lot to unpack here.
Apparently
there has been a lot of talk about QAnon in liberal, mainstream
media. QAnon also gained ground from social media groups like Twitter, Facebook, and You Tube. There has even been a six part HBO
movie made about them from filmmaker, Cullen Hoback. Now
I was unaware that there has been this degree of coverage about
them, because I generally don’t watch liberal media. But this
is a good example of why, as distasteful as it is, that from time to
time we should check
into what is being reported – even from media we do not trust.
I periodically try to read
articles from media or watch a video that I don’t agree
with, just to keep apprised of what progressives are saying.
But I have been neglectful in watching mainstream television, like
ABC, NBC, and CBS. It’s just too hard to stomach. This is a
good example of why
we should from time to time. While we definitely do not need a steady
diet of that slanted, tainted garbage, we do need
to realize, that they get the upper hand, if we are not aware
of what they are
saying. If we remain unaware, it
is they who control
the narrative. Once a message is disseminated and
people believe it, it is entirely too difficult
to ever get it back.
The
letter “Q”, is
in fact, a clearance designation for a government security
level. QAnon first
identified as “Q Clearance Patriot” trying to make it seem
to followers that he actually had a “Q
Security Clearance” in the government.
Thus
this supposedly lends credence to whomever it is that is
the head of QAnon. If he is purportedly someone
who has a private security clearance for government
operations, then whomever
he is, he is “in the know” about everything happening at
government levels.
One
of this group's main goals is to expose that our government
is corrupted by a faction of
human traffickers that exists in the top levels of US
government. They
claim child pornography is being promoted and produced by our
political leaders. Oh, but it gets worse...supposedly
they are not only exposing pedophiles, they are also after cannibals
(yes, really) within not only government but in Hollywood, as well. In their
theory, President Trump is heroically fighting this twisted group of people.
This
movement is believed to have grown out
of a series of posts on a message
board, from a site that I will not name here. I don’t want
to lead anyone
there; nor do I want to give
them more publicity. It is basically a site that hosts
pornography, and other distasteful web pages. It has actually
become known as a
“forum for extremists and mass shooters”. I don’t know about
that; I am not taking my research that far. I want to completely
avoid the site and refrain from drawing any unwanted searches to my
blog, due to word references; and I will NOT link it. But I
do know it is a highly questionable site promoting pornography and
conspiracy theories. The messages, (sometimes considered
clues) from Q that
are shared there, are
known to followers as “Q drops”. It reportedly at one point
had a following of 4 million people.
Now naturally there
has been speculation about who the
man behind "Q" is. Apparently there has been talk
about a possibility of someone for
sometime. I have only recently taken steps to research
this deeper and from that I have learned
who the suspect/suspects are. This person sends
messages to his followers (the Q Drops) on the site
I mentioned above and it is, in
fact, operated by the man who is the owner
of this web company. This has made him the
suspected founder of QAnon. This is due
to the fact that his sites are the only
place the messages have been found. The owner of that site is a
man called Jim
Watkins and it is suspected, his aid is his son Ron Watkins.
Jim Watkins is a military veteran, originally from Dayton, Washington but he recently has lived in the Philippines owning a pig farm there. He apparently is back in the US at this time. Watkins, while in the military, married a South Korean woman with whom he had a son - Ron Watkins. Ron grew up in Seattle area and was raised mostly by his mom after the two divorced. Ron maintained a relationship with his dad, however; and after graduation, Ron moved to China for 12 years. Well, hum. A China connection. How ‘bout that. Now there’s a conspiracy theory opportunity...
In
2019, the developer of the software and provider of
the site that Jim used, is a man by the name of Frederick Brennan. Brennan cut
ties with Watkins, so Watkins moved
his forum to
another provider. Once
again, the QAnon posts began at the Watkins’ new site. Is it merely
coincidence that Q drops were
only posted to sites owned by Watkins? That’s doubtful. That’s
an obvious coincidence, or blatant fact. If Watkins isn’t
Q, he certainly has a high degree of control over QAnon postings.
Watkins has also created
videos with the Q emblem in the background and these videos
have also first made appearances on
his sites.
Personally, I believe Frederick Brennan, the developer of the software that created the nefarious site should be suspect, too. It is certain, that the two had a parting of ways, Jim Watkins even suing Brennan in 2018 for libel. Brennan squawked, I guess.
Though
both father and son have denied being Q, son Ron, has admitted to
posting anonymously at times to the site. This was viewed by some as a
“slip-up” admission. But the two have long been suspected of
being Q. It is interesting they work so hard at denying they are at the helm, but yet they don't deny their association.
Watkins, with his continual denial that he is the mysterious Q, has also, in the past, pointed the finger at Steve Bannon – former advisor to President Trump – as being “Q Clearance Patriot”. Now that might be another clue. Do you really think if Watkins is truly a conservative, they would be pointing fingers at another conservative? No. They would be hiding their connections to each other. I will say with some of the problems Bannon has had, he has made himself an easy target. And let’s not forget President Trump had to distance himself from Bannon. But let’s not buy into false accusations, let’s simply vet and investigate those whom we believe and follow.
As
I said, the “Q” designation is to lead people to believe this
person has a top level security clearance in government, and
therefore has ties to the White House. Well now, there’s
another clue. If
he really had ties to the White House, do you think he would want
that exposed? No. He is intentionally seeking ties
to the White House, to make people believe him. We need to think
for ourselves, and dig a bit deeper than what someone would
like for us. In fact, the man who is suspected of being Q, Jim
Watkins, has absolutely no ties to the White House or
President Trump. Were he to admit he is Q, that would blow that
narrative right out of the water. Supporters, or more
importantly media, would be forced to admit that Mr.
“Q Clearance Patriot”, in fact has
no security clearance or connections to the White House of
any kind. And that is easily provable. If
revealed, Q
security designation within this group would be exposed as a farce. Somebody, I suspect
both media and Q
desperately wants us to believe they have connections to the Trump
White House. In my opinion, this is an effort to incriminate
Trump through association. It simply isn’t there.
It is true, people holding Q banners and wearing Q T-shirts had shown up at Trump Rallies, thus giving people the idea that Trump was somehow responsible, or at the very least supportive of this group. It is simply not true that he supported them or even knew who they are. When Trump was questioned about it by reporters, it was obvious from his answers he didn’t know anything about QAnon. Media most certainly tried to make it look like he did – jumping on the parts they could manipulate and leaving out the part where he said, he had never heard of them.
Ironically, Jim
and Ron Watkins, themselves have ties to pornography. Jim
is known as the “King of Porn” and his son, Ron has been said
to have “taken pornography to
a whole other level.” ABC has reported this, as
well as many other news organization. Curiously
the Watkins’ seem to be involved with the very thing that QAnon
claims to be trying to put an end – pedophilia and child
pornography. But Watkins boldly stated that
calling for censoring
of his media platform is “the
most un-American thing I can imagine.”
Oh
really? It’s illegal for crying out loud!!!! Why in the heck
is it wrong to censor something so disgusting and dangerous!!!
IDIOT!! Useful IDIOT, in my opinion!!! It just doesn't add up. The truth is most likely that Watkins was making money
from his sickening, pornography site!
Good
people were fooled by QAnon: Michael Flynn, for one. I
am disappointed to say that I myself, saw the QAnon logo “WWG1WGA” on
Michael Flynn’s Twitter page. We all know Marjorie
Taylor Green had to backtrack her words and position. She clearly gets it now, I believe. It has
been said that perhaps other high profile people were
fooled. There are people that may surprise us, scheduled to
speak at an upcoming conference, with questionable
ties to QAnon. I am certain there are many others who
were briefly, but intentionally fooled. You don’t
draw in 4 million people without utilizing someone with a little
bit of fame or notoriety and some may have been targeted with
deception to draw them. But to those still getting
sucked into this insanity, shame on you!!
The new
group with Q ties that is advertising seminars/conferences,
goes by the name “Patriot Voice”. Not to be confused with
Rick Santorum’s years’ old group called Patriot
Voices. By viewing some of
the speakers listed on their webpage, I believe people are still being manipulated and
fooled. Honestly, I am confused that no one now seems to be concerned that Q connections are revealed at this seminar.
There are some well known names speaking at this
conference in October of 2021. I will not name them, allowing for them to see the light. There are also a couple less than prominent US
Representatives are listed. But Evan Sayat? What
the heck! He wrote for Heritage Foundation! Michael Flynn’s
brother, Joseph, will be there. I suspect this is how Michael Flynn,
initially had connection
to the group. It has just been announced that General Flynn will be
the keynote speaker. Why did he at one point remove the QAnon logo from his Twitter page, but now he openly joins people not only connected to QAnon, but may actually BE "Q Clearance Patriot"?
One
can go to the Patriot
Voice web
page, to
read
bios of the speakers. But very troubling, throughout
the bios, one
will also find
mention and multiple connections to QAnon. The problematic
“give away” is both Jim and Ron Watkins have been speakers or are scheduled
to speak...without any mention of their bios or who they
are, however. They
just happen to be the ones, mysteriously listed without a bio. Is
this to
purposefully create further suspicion of who they are? It
certainly keeps the connection to the right-wing alive and
well. There they are among other well-known conservatives. I am truly so disheartened by some of the speakers associated with this movement. I truly believe they do not have full understanding of just whom they are associating. I cannot defend the ignorance, but for some, I think they just do not realize..
And
then there is Seth Holehouse!!
Where do we remember him from? I believe he was instrumental in some
of the
conspiracy videos that came out when the pandemic first started! Big
surprise there! He
has since created his moniker the Man
In America videos. This
is what his bio claims on the Patriot Voice web page:
“Seth
Holehouse is the creator and host of Man in America. After witnessing
the theft of our Republic on November 3, Seth produced a video called
“The Plot to Steal America” to expose the election fraud, the
dark agenda of big tech and mainstream media, and the hidden hand of
the Chinese Communist Party. The video quickly went viral,
culminating in President Trump sharing it across his social media
profiles—garnering hundreds of millions of views worldwide—and
thrusting Man in America into the spotlight. Seth broadcasts live
twice a week, covering politics and current events in a calm,
rational, and inspiring manner. His mission is to shine a light on
the dark forces in this world, and to summon the spirit of 1776 among
fellow patriots.”
Yeah,
they cleaned that up nicely, didn’t they?! They know all the right
terms to use. “Patriot” “1776”. And that “President Trump
shared his video.” Personally, I believe they purposefully set up
President Trump!!! Holehouse is
curiously not yet listed on Wikipedia, and he has managed
to keep his age and birth date a secret. I think there
is too much unknown about this man to believe anything he says. Truth
seekers do not need to keep secrets. I think he is a man of the
left or used of
the left. According to an article in the Daily Beast, another
left wing outlet, Holehouse worked for the Epoch times as
Creative Director until 2015 and has long promoted QAnon
theories. One can probably learn that fact without
using progressive sources which I would
be hesitant to believe. But yes,
these people have been infiltrating good places and sources for some
time.
The
unfortunate thing is Holehouse produced a very good video
entitled The
Plot to Steal
America. I have shared it below. It
was actually 100% spot on and it made its way across the airwaves,
so that even President Trump saw it. As explained
in Seth’s bio, President Trump shared it. And it gained
even more publicity. Now let me say, there was nothing
wrong with this video. It was actually extremely accurate.
It had to be to fool the President. But at the end of the
video, Holehouse included a phrase that was familiar to those
involved with QAnon. And with Holehouse’s connections to QAnon,
this was harmful to the President’s message. It was another way to
link him to Q. The link simply wasn’t there, but it
was made to look like it was. I think it was intentional.
Basically setting up and framing the President to look like he was
involved or at least supportive of Q. If it wasn’t intentional, it
still worked. I believe this was the entire intent behind QAnon.
It
has also been reported, Holehouse has deep ties to a Chinese
religious movement called Falun Gong. Apparently these people believe
that Trump will bring about the apocalypse and the Great Awakening.
They see Trump as an ally against the CCP's persecution of this
Chinese spiritual movement. Remember Ron Watkins' twelve year ties to
China? It is doubtful that is coincidence, in my opinion. Maybe that
group was infiltrated and used too.
One
can really get in the weeds with a search regarding
Seth Holehouse. It is almost impossible to find a conservative
source from google. And of course a conservative doesn’t want to
believe reports from the likes of Daily Beast, etc. Still, one does
have to recognize there are questionable connections to these people.
And that is my point. They are being used to make conservatives and
especially President Trump look bad. We cannot be too careful
with whom we associate, promote and quote. The true cabal is the left
out to destroy all things conservative, and they are doing a bang up
job using infiltration, and useful idiots to get the task done.
A quick
peruse of the speakers’ bio at the Patriot Voice event” reveal
their connections to QAnon. From
there one must make the leap to understand if one is
related to QAnon, they most likely all are. It is
foolish to ignore this, or make excuses. If someone doesn't want
people to believe that, they had better be more careful with whom
they associate.
Truthfully,
I am not certain that I understand it, but there is always an
anti-vaxx connection to these conspiracy theories, or to those
promoting them. In this case many people that are speaking at the
"Health and Freedom Conference" are some of the same
speakers that are speaking at the Patriot Voice conference. And in
the bios, on that website, they
are blatant about
their connections to QAnon. As well with General Flynn's
"ReAwaken
American Tour"
names are interwoven and intertwined with well-known anti-vaxxers and
people known to be connected to QAnon. The "Arise
Freedom Tour" which
recently came to a church in my city include Scott McKay
and Leigh Dundas, and they are connected to both anti-vaxxers and
QAnon. And General Flynn's ReAwaken tour. Why would someone
with General Flynn's position and acclaim allow himself to be aligned
with people like this?? Some of these are highly questionable
people! Maybe it is out of support for his brother, who is also
involved. But that just isn't good enough with something as serious
as this. We had better be paying attention. Maybe these people
aren’t done trying to undo America. What will come next?
There
have been no new messages from Q to the notorious message board
since December 2020. Well, hum. Maybe their job was
accomplished—and that
was, to prevent
President Trump from re-election and the effort to
oppose the certification
of some states’ electoral votes on
January 6th. After
everything that happened on that infamous day, no
one wanted to touch any of it with a ten foot pole. (My apologies for
the cliches.)
If
you are to search QAnon
or Jim and Ron Watkins, there are no current news articles. The most
recent being from April...possibly one from June. But when you
consider most of America never even heard of QAnon until January 6th,
April is pretty early to be discontinuing coverage. The left no
longer has need, nor do they want people to still be
thinking of QAnon. The HBO Documentary concluded in April
2021. It was safe to
reveal the identity of the Watkins' by that time, and it did.
The damage had already been done and revealing who the culprits were
now, only makes successful the effort to make conservatives look
like crazy lunatics who will believe anything. There
may be some truth in that in regard to the people sucked into
this. But it was NOT the average Trump voter.
On Inauguration Day, (1/20/21) Ron
Watkins posted a message on a popular messaging
platform. He, in effect, resigned as
administrator of the message board that supported Q and the Q
drops. He stated:
“We
have a new president sworn in and it is our responsibility as
citizens to respect the Constitution. As we enter into the next
administration please remember all the friends and happy memories we
made together over the past few years.”
Hmmmm. Curious
timing, in my view. Curious message of contrition. Like nothing ever happened. I would
say “mission accomplished”. Apparently they are no
longer needed.
I did
not footnote my article. Many of the same stats and opinions are
easily found and oft repeated on the sites listed below.
Notably, none of them are conservative links. Conservative
media simply has not frequently talked about or reported on this
group. Rather, those reporting the most and who kept it at the
forefront when needed, all embrace a
liberal foundation and belief system. Now here’s
another clue. I believe they were intentionally "stirring the
masses" with their reporting. Even now though, in
their most recent effort to point to the Watkins’ duo as
those behind QAnon, their agenda is fulfilled. It’s OK to
expose it all now because the
damage has all been
done. Mission accomplished. What’s next?

*I edited this blog on August 11, 2023, due to a broken link. I also removed a couple names, that I did not want to unfairly expose. People can check associations out for themselves. I did leave some prominent names, that truly should know better; and I just don't understand that they are involved with something so questionable. Connections matter.
