There were (tens of) thousands of people doing the analysis of the Q drops, but far fewer doing the synthesis to pass the message on in a format that others could hear. Neon Revolt, Dave Hayes (Praying Medic), and myself come to mind, and there will be many others of note too. I was one of the very few to do it all under my own name.

You would never, ever set out on such a path if motivated by glory 5+ years away and with absolute sh*te to endlessly wade through to get there... we just jumped in and naively got on with it. The boundary between narrative exposure and legal disclosure is roughly now (cf Project Veritas today). It feels like the nightmare of social and intellectual exile is ending.

I don't care about plaudits, but I am very curious what it was like from the military intelligence insider perspective watching us all figure it out, whether any work we did was unexpected, and how impact measured. The day will come... "global unifying shocks" to get through first.

It is so nice to have these names and people around that I began this journey with so many years ago. I found the posts on the second day of them on 4chan - before there was a Q in the posts. It was a different kind of world to feel so connected and on the same path with other people like me trying to learn to decode and collate info. No one in my real world knew. My entire social life became digital. And it continues to this day.
Sure, hundreds of millions more now know, but those early days were special. A Band of Anons.
