McAfee, Ghost Ezra, and BAnon

Today we're going to be doing an update of sorts. Basically, whilst Q is no longer hitting headlines across the world anymore, there are still significant stirrings within the Q and On universe that you need to know about. So in this episode of Q Clearance will be going over them. We'll talk about the role of Q in regards to the death of John McAfee, the further fascist radicalization of Q

and on, and the b drop. So firstly, cast your mind back to episode two of this series, when we were looking into how Q and On has become increasingly more extreme and its political worldview now that it's been forced underground onto apps like Telegram. Since recording that episode, one of the largest Q and On channels has begun sharing increasingly more anti Semitic and outright neo Nazi content. One of the worst is ghost Ezra. Ghost Ezra is a Q and On personality with a Telegram channel that

is more than three hundred thousand subscribers in it. He's begun posting photo lists of Jewish people in the media that are all marked with small stars of David and he's been accusing them all of being members of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. He's also been promoting the far right film Europa the Last Battle, which claims Jewish people deliberately started both World War One and World War Two as a plot to form Israel. It's outright neo Nazi propaganda.

Many many people in the channel, all of them supposedly Q and On followers, and now cheering on this Nazi vein within Q and On. When you think about it, it's quite bizarre that Q and On is evolving like this when you consider that they all actually worshiped Donald Trump, and Trump did more for Israel than many previous US presidents.

He's the one that even okayed the move of the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, effectively recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of israel I don't want to get into their deeper politics of Palestine versus Israel, but that is a very big win for Israel. Still, this Nazi vein within Q and On is the way it seems to be going now, with the sheer number of Q and on's becoming indoctor trinated by all this, it's a very

big worry. There are hundreds of thousands of people, all Q supporters, in these underground telegram network channels, and now many of them lapping up neo Nazi propaganda, whereas only a few months ago they were died in the world hardcore conservatives. Now, whether you hate conservatives or are a conservative, that is irrelevant. There is no denying that the jump from conservative center right politics to far right neo Nazism is quite vast and very troubling. Now what's interesting is

Ghost Ezra himself. Whoever it is, we don't know, but this guy hasn't been on the scene within Q and On for that long. There are some researchers that think Ghost Ezra is possibly a plant, as in, he was never a Q and On fan that somehow started turning Nazi. He was possibly a Nazi. The whole time and infiltrated Q and On. As we spoke about in episode two, the way he's going, the way he's pushing all this

Nazi propaganda. I think that's quite possible to anyway, moving on to the next update, let me just say this queue is back, or maybe sort of or maybe not. Just just better with me. Listen to this. We're going to talk about the new que drop or what you could call the B drop. Now. Remember Q hasn't posted a single que drop since December, but something new happened. Now. I don't want to get everybody's hopes up, but it felt like Q was back for a second. So let

me just explain. So last month in May, there was a big Q and On conference in Dallas, Texas. It was absolutely mental. We will be talking about that next episode in detail, talking to someone that basically infiltrated it. It's all very strange. But what you need to know now is that one day into the conference, on May nine, there was a message put onto a coun posted directly to the Q and on Board, the exclusive Q and

on Board. For Q to explain further, his researcher Sarah hi Tower, Remember hires Tower helps out with research and fact checking on this podcast. She's one of the very best researchers out there. She knows what she's on about. Have a listen. So, like a day into the the Yeehab God's Guns and Gravy Patriot Rodeo or whatever it was called, somebody posted to eight CON's que post board. And when I say that it's the Q post board, I mean like it's literally the board set up for

a que to post. The que drops too, so I think it's the projected calms board. It literally only exists for the express purpose like que drops. Okay, regular users like they can't even post the or to be able to post to this board. You have to have the key, so you'd have to be like side owner or an admin or just someone who was given the keys to be able to post basically all right, So, as Sarah says, if something pops up on the qeboard on a coun

it's not just somebody messing around. As far as Q and on's were concerned, this had come from HQ, from General Command, from the White House, from Q. So, as you can imagine, everybody got quite excited. But just have I listen to what happen next. So this post, it just appeared out of nowhere, but instead of Q, the post author was B, and B didn't have the Q trip code. Now, the Q trip code was already like explained it on the show, like at least once just

to refresh your memory if you've forgotten. The trip code was essentially a signature attached to Q. So whenever someone posted claiming to be QUE, posting a Q drop whatever, Q and ons could confirm that it was actually Q using this trip code, the signature if you like, if you've forgotten all about it, maybe go back and listen to the episode on it in series one. But essentially the trip code would confirm that Q was Q. As we know, it got hijacked the trip code changed hands.

But anyway, this new user turned up and it was a B drop, not a Q drop. So this B person they post this short drop and it sounds like somebody is trying to copy cues. Posting style accutes rhetorical style, but it just comes across is like I don't know if you've ever read like an Instagram influencer or like a TikToker who decides to like publish their poetry. But it's like that and it says fact versus fiction. We will not tell you which is which. The choice is yours.

Who gave you the playbooks? Who helps you answer questions? And that's what the post hands And it's pretty short and interestingly enough, this b person they didn't sign their post at the bottom the way cue a sleeve signs the Q drops, So everybody on all sides of the Q and on thing, like they got all worked up, so like watchers and researchers started like immediately speculating, like, is this a troll who managed to hack the board? Is it like Jim and Ron engaging interest during the

Patriot roundup thingy that? When was that? Or like, was it Ron trying to work shop the next phase of the Q grift or get people interested in his alien themed wiki leaks rip off? Yeah, Sarah did just say alien theme that wiki leagues rip off. That's basically what Ron Watkins is doing. Now. We think Jim and Ron Watkins were behind Q and On. If you've heard series one, I think it's quite clear that they were. But now Ron has moved on to this strange UFO situation. It's

quite interesting. We're going to be doing a whole episode soon about what Jim and Ron Watkins did next. But just no is another Internet based grift that Ron is trying to create a community around. So Sarah said, there was a lot of speculation from Q and ons, from researchers. Everybody was wondering, who is this be, why is there a drop in the cue boards and what does it

all mean? Well, it's possible that actually the b drop was just a disgruntled eight coon employee putting up some nonsense on the cue board before dropping out and saying fuck you Jim, fuck you Ron, see you later. This is what Jim Watkins had to say about it. Anyway, Jim Watkins comes out and he said that an admin or a global volunteer who goes by the user name the Laughing Man posted it, which is like, it's Jim Watkins, so like take it with a grain of salt or whatever.

But there actually is record of someone in his orbit in that orbit who went by the name like the Laughing Man. Now you might think, well, why would you trust what Jim Watkins has to say about Q and on. Well, because it's very clear to me, to a lot of people that him and his son Ron were behind it. So if he says, well, actually this isn't about Q, it's kind of true because he's the one that dictates what is about Q, because he's making it all up

as he goes along. So Jim said that he fired the admin and that he cut the volunteer team over on eight coon and like half. So I don't know if any or all that last bit is true. Well, B hasn't posted, sense, and it kind of seems unlikely that we're ever going to hear from them again. So do with that what you will do with that, what you will Q and On's certainly did. Some are still considering this bee drop a genuine return of Q. Well others, mostly scenes who have sort of decided to ignore it.

Whatever it was. The most interesting part of the B drop is what it shows in the plane light of day that anyone that's part of the admin team on a coun could post on Que's exclusive board. We all knew that anyway, but now it's been confirmed with the B drop. Jim Watkins basically said, yeah, this board is nowhere near as secure as we made out, and he has effectively backed up a lot of what we said in series one. That is it's not that difficult to

commander or steer Q on the chan boards. Personally, I think the B drop is more relevant when it comes to exposing who is behind Q and on than it is of any evidence of a return anyway. Next final update, let's talk about the John McAfee drama. So if you're unaware, John mccafee was the entrepreneurial creator of the world famous anti computer virus software McAfee Virus Scan. This was the first commercial anti virus software. It was released in the

eighties and eventually made McAfee a billionaire. Now, McAfee was not your average rich guy. To put it frankly, he was absolutely fucking nuts. Maybe all rich guys are like that, but they're not usually posting about on social media and

having documentaries made about themselves. So, among many other bizarre twists and turns in his life story, McAfee was accused of allegedly murdering his neighbor, manufacturing his own bath salts, drugs, abusing women he paid to have sex with, and forming what was basically an armed gang or militia in Belize. It was somewhat of an Internet anti hero for some due to his antiques and open challenges to the US government on social media. Lots of found him funny, and

in some ways he was. Ultimately though, McAfee was a compulsive liar, a fraud, and was once sexually involved with a sixteen year old girl in Belize. In twelve, McAfee died on at June one. He was seventy five years old. He died by what is very likely suicide in a Spanish prison cell. He was incarcerated on charges levied at him by the US government. The police in Barcelona agreed

to arrest him for the US. The US claims he'd been evading tax by having his income paid into bank accounts and cryptocurrency exchange accounts in the names of other nominees. He was said to be extradited to the US when he was found dead. Now, what the hell does all this have to do with tu and on. We'll get to that, but for context, let's explain the suicide slash

murder conspiracy that's brewing. So before mccafee died, he posted the following message on Twitter quote getting subtle messages from US officials saying, in effect, we're coming for you, McAfee. We're going to kill yourself. I got a tattoo today just in case if I suicide myself. I didn't. I was whacked. Check my right arm shacked available only at

mccafee dex dot com smiley face end quote. This message was posted with an image of a new tattoo he'd gotten on his right arm that said shacked with the S as a dollar sign shwacked or whacked, meaning he had been killed. As you can imagine, this has caused a sensational conspiracy theory now that he's dead, especially on the internet. Now, I am definitely not saying that I think it's beyond the scope of the US government to assassinate people that could cast them in a bad light.

But McAfee's claims in his life of knowing about shadowy government plots against him were all very over the top without any substance, and they were ultimately used as an excuse for his reckless, drug fueled behavior. I do not believe McAfee was murdered by the US government. It's my belief that he was plotting the ultimate post death mystery about himself, knowing that he'd soon take his life if extradited.

After all, he was seventy five years old. He'd lived a mad life and was probably going to spend the rest of it in prison once sent back to the US. I think, as in life as in death, he wanted to court further contra versy around the legend of John mccafee after he was dead and gone to throw a fuel on this fire of his. There was even a

big nod to Q and on. On June twenty three, roughly an hour after McAfee's death was announced in the media, there was an image posted to John mccafee's official, verified Instagram account. The image was the letter Q black in caps with a white background. I could not fucking believe it. McAfee briefly dabbled in Q and on talk whilst alive, but it was never a hardcore proponent of it, even when he campaigned to be US president on a batshit in saying quasi libertarian ticket Q and on was even

two nuts for him. Really, what I'm saying is McAfee was not a Q and on guy. I think this post was done by someone close to him who had his logins to Instagram. I think McAfee told them to do this. I think he wanted to cause chaos, confusion, and further conspiracy even after he died. I do not think McAfee was at all linked to Q and on. There's no evidence to suggest this was happening behind the

scenes or otherwise. McAfee's Instagram account has now been completely removed and the post is obviously gone, but the immediate reaction from Q and On's was as you can probably imagine, there was a frenzy one Q and on Telegram account with almost forty thousand subscribers that I checked quickly after this happened, when berserk one user posted the following with the image of the McAfee q Instagram post. Quote rumor confirmed McAfee cupic has a crypto graphic key in caps

embedded in the image file. I was able to view this in photo shop instructions fb M D two three zero zero nine six zero one zero zero s and you know it goes on like that, A lot of numbers, a lot of zeros, some letters, dead man switch activated end quote. The alleged code that this user dug out from the image that the Q and On's immediately ran with without checking the code that they said means some

kind of dead man switch has been activated. The alleged code that got them all riled up from this John McAfee Instagram Q post is actually an automatic International Press Telecommunications Council SLASH Information Interchange Model code that Facebook, who owns Instagram, bakes into uploaded images to essentially keep track of content uploaded to their sites is being shared elsewhere.

The f b m D code that the Q follow up posted is just a Facebook member data code f B M D McAfee's plan to baselessly it's so further conspiracy and misinformation worked even after death, all thanks to the Q and ons.
