Have any of Q’s predictions actually happen?

None of you will know the answer unless you search for the truth yourself.

Q 4951 November 12, 2020:

How do you 'show' the public the truth? How do you 'safeguard' US elections post-POTUS? How do you 'remove' foreign interference and corruption and install US-owned voter ID law(s) and other safeguards? It had to be this way. Sometimes you must walk through the darkness before you see the light.

Q 4908 October 21, 2020:

Sometimes you can't TELL the public the truth. YOU MUST SHOW THEM. ONLY THEN WILL PEOPLE FIND THE WILL TO CHANGE. Crimes against children unite all humanity [cross party lines]? Difficult truths.

Q 4685 September 12, 2020:

Many choose the path of least resistance. For many you cannot tell them the truth. You must show them. Only at the precipice will people find the will [strength] to change and break the system of control [be free].

Q 4641 September 9, 2020:

THE SWAMP RUNS DEEP. Sometimes you cannot tell people the truth. You must show them. Only then, at the precipice, will people find the will to change [to participate].

Q 4461 June 13, 2020:

Only when evil is forced into the light can we defeat it. Only when they can no longer operate in the [shadows] can people see the truth for themselves. Only when people see the truth [for themselves] will people understand the true nature of their deception. Seeing is Believing. Sometimes you can't tell the public the truth. YOU MUST SHOW THEM. ONLY THEN WILL PEOPLE FIND THE WILL TO CHANGE. It had to be this way.

Q 4246 May 15, 2020:

Sometimes you can't TELL the public the truth. YOU MUST SHOW THEM. ONLY THEN WILL PEOPLE FIND THE WILL TO CHANGE.

Q 4024 April 30, 2020:

Sometimes you can't TELL the public the truth. YOU MUST SHOW THEM. A deeply entrenched enemy who controls the vast majority of communications is only defeated by………. Game theory.

Okay, Anonymous. :lol:

Not gonna lie, I think probably the funniest "prediction" that never came true was when they kept saying that the Vatican was taken over by the United States military and that there we gonna be, and I quote, "Country-wide blackouts in order to arrest the cultists in the Democratic Party."

This was said back in December 2020, and now they're trying to say it again and its just sad lmaoo

Are we pretending that Q isn't a group of 4chan trolls?
There are plenty of them that are obviously 4chan trolls but I am still interested in talking to those who actually believe the conspiracy. Full disclosure and since I don't think this thread is quite going to work, I am studying social psychology as my major. Being that Q is a current social movement that has contributed so far as to lead people in an attempt to overthrow the US government, they've gotten my interest in studying the Q supporters. It's interesting to consider that some of these "trolls" are actually serious, they actually believe in this movement and believe in the predictions of Q, I want to interview at least one of them. It's funny because the person who inspired this thread actually ended up commenting with a dope account while I was asleep, meaning I missed one of my opportunities to try and talk to them. I guess I am going to have to try to think of another way to creating a controlled environment or at least hope maybe with this thread I get someone's attention.
Still, I am interested in the question of, have any predictions come true and what sources (beyond the far-Right conspiracy sources,) can be pieced together to prove the conspiracies? It's a bit of an ask but I am interested in seeing how they connect these events into proving their narrative.

Do you remember some decades back how popular many of those phone psychics were? Like Miss Cleo and such? I feel like one could write a book about all the parallels between them and their believers, and Q and his flock of sheeple. It's simply cold-reading on a grander scale via the internet, and it's easy for him because he's one of them; a narcissist and a Trump loyalist. He gives them a bunch of vague shit about pedos getting busted and sprinkles in some subtle anti-Semitism, basically trickle-feeds their own opinions back to them. They won't spell out for you how they make the connections in their mind, because they'll do any amount of mental gymnastics to make it work, and it wouldn't make any sense spelled out for you or I.

have you watched the HBO documentary about "Q" yet?
it's quite enlightening, even if you choose not to believe everything that it says.

It’s currently on my list for when my wife and I have a little free time to watch it together. I’ve heard good things about it

Yeah. I am pretty sure this is the same person who caught my attention before, which would be the same person who inspired the creation of this thread. I know I could just go to the source but I was hoping I could interview someone in a setting both parties were somewhat comfortable in.
Saw a psychiatrist talk about this... so what I got from this...

Problem is we live in a age of Narcicism. People need to feel important. Being normal isn't good enough anymore. Q Anon makes it so that people feel special by having figured something out and that they can make a difference.

It's a conspiracy theory/cult just like any other.

I thought that was Trump. AFAIK, Q didn't advocate any action other than "decoding" and waiting for the metaphorical spaceship. It was one guy who was literally an actor holding a Q sign that seemed to find himself in the center spotlight without any fight to get there.

What reason?

I understand the psychology and logic behind why people get into these movements but that really doesn’t quite scratch the itch of getting an interview. There’s something personal only found through doing interviews that you can’t really find through studying or watching someone else’s interview. Being someone who has interviewed White Nationalists, Neo-Nazis, and other extremist groups, I found there was something gained that I couldn’t get through studying; like their own personal motivations, anxieties, and so many other personal reason that I couldn’t get through just studying alone.

Ngl, my lack of understanding in what Q advocates or doesn’t advocate is partly something I am still trying to understand. I do know there were Q supporters at the riots and that many were inspired to “find the truth” during the riots. So even though Q didn’t advocate, their “predictions” and conspiracies still played a role in the riots.

Surprisingly unbiased and level-headed take on Q from Tabzer. Did not expect that one.

To be fair, there's a higher chance of GBAtemp being the Vessel of Truth, with slivers of Hyper Reality thrown in by the anonymous Prophetic Consortium in the Comments, from the Front Page all the way through to EOF.

Only the Devout will unmask it and qualify for Ascension ... which is a cute way of saying Singularity is god.

I appear biased because whenever I disagree with someone, the assumption is that I must be "on the other side".

I do know there were Q supporters at the riots and that many were inspired to “find the truth” during the riots. So even though Q didn’t advocate, their “predictions” and conspiracies still played a role in the riots.

People believed that there was truth behind the conspiracy theories and both Trump and Q appeals to them. It isn't a surprise that people who want to get the word out about Q attended Trump events. To say that they instigated an insurrection is a stretch.

All of the QAnon meetings I've been to are strictly against it, but maybe there is something going on higher up.

... The problem with physically attending an Ideology Meeting that establishes no set Hierarchy and has no tangible so-called Prophet to speak of is that it basically is an Open Mic Night and invitation to become a game of Telephone.

Compared to that, an Echo Chamber seems benign.

Additionally, whatever opinion said Meeting has may have zero support in the actual Ideology, for better or worse, seeing that nobody attending is qualified to speak on its behalf, due to the lack of said Hierarchy.

The fact that even the best News outlets can only get to the point of Interviewing Members and their Modern Interpretive Dance on the Ideology should speak volumes on its Hierarchy and stability.

I might have worded my post pretty poorly, I am a bit stressed in real life and my brain isn’t quite feeling the English game today. What I was trying to say isn’t that Q directly influenced or endorsed the riots, but that Q’s conspiracies did play some motivating factors for some of the people there. This more plays into the Q followers themselves and how they interpret the word of Q and less about Q the individual.

It's okay. When I read "played a role", I saw it as interpretable in a couple of ways. so my response was kind of generalized. My understanding is that the media made claims that "Qanon" was responsible or something.
