Don't get suckered into wasting your time. Hardened anons should already know this shit; This is more a crash course for new visitors.

How to Quickly Spot a Clown

They will:

• Attempt to get a divisive or emotional response from you to derail research.

• Concern troll and copy/pasta spam shill to contradict confirmed findings.

• Employ faux debate tactics: Generalizations, gas-lighting, projection, misdirection, false equivalences, confusing correlation with causation, appeal to authority, transference, false precepts, personal attacks, straw-men, red herrings, etc.

• Promote social ethics that are disingenuous like doxxing, "reverse psychology", or promoting propaganda.

• Promote tactics that are unethical, illegal or involve violence outside the scope of the Law.

• Employ Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt to dissuade research.

Topic sliding If information of a sensitive nature has been posted on a discussion forum, it can be quickly removed from public view by topic sliding. In this technique a large number of unrelated posts, or posts aimed at diluting the information presented, are submitted in an effort to trigger a topic slide to literally push content out of view. Operators can control several fake UIDs via the bots they make use of; these can also be called upon in the other techniques to mask the intent of the operator from the users at large. Although it is difficult or impossible to censor the posting it is now lost in a sea of unrelated and bogus postings.

Seeding bad information Operatives will insert flawed or bogus information from time to time as an ongoing tactic, depending on their skill set and the needs of their mission. Their most common ruse is providing information or evidence which is backed by bad source material in the hope that the "source of the source" is never checked. This serves several objectives, mainly resource consumption, evidence pollution, discouragement and misdirection.

Astroturfing consensus This is a technique that attempts to build a manufactured consensus around a flawed set of statements or compromised information. This is related to consensus cracking, where false evidence is injected in an attempt to dispute or discredit what the current consensus is, and push it towards the desired false consensus. Misleading and false evidence and information are often salted into the evidence pool, with an aim to impede organic consensus building, while also poisoning the available information and evidence.

Cultivating tacit approval (The legal term for this is 'silent agreement') Attempting to attain this state is done using a technique where operators will try to convince the user population to ignore, or not respond to bad information or false assertions. This is done in a bid to reduce push-back against the above mentioned tactics. It's worth noting that the reply filtering mechanism of the boards (which currently can't be disabled without code changes from the site admin) is used as a weapon of sorts in this tactic: Filtering with software prevents anons from defending against seeding bad information and astroturfing consensus. This is why the operators push so hard to condition anons into filtering material they disagree with.

How to spot a Clown's bot

NEVER DIRECTLY ENGAGE A BOT It just wastes bread with their responses, and hands them a target to programmatically lock on to without handler interaction. It seems that the easiest way to foil the bots is to point them out by proxy, by copy/pasting the user's ID as a quoted reference and intentionally breaking its post link in your response and/or answering it with a meme until they start misfiring because they can't parse the response to lock onto a target correctly.. Doing this can also make the bots look artificially erratic and easier for other anons to spot.

What we know about the cl0wnbots

• Are used to facilitate topic sliding, manufacturing consensus, obfuscation of intent, and general disruption

• Require a handler to watch for and be in the thread

• Cannot enter threads themselves

• Respond to replies and each other, and can create replies

• Can pick up random or contradictory meme flags

• Activate on lists of trigger words; these can change over time

• Use a combination of legit pasta, pre-written points, or spam targeted at various objectives.

• Have unwittingly pasta'd supportive replies

• Are employed mostly at night and on weekends (US time)

• Add to bump limits

• Can be filtered by ID once they are observed

• Are not perfected and can be easily spotted

• Were deployed starting on the /CBTS/ board

• Have certain flaws that can cause them to misfire in sometimes comical ways

• The handlers can make bogus clown threads, but also can be confused by accidental ones

• Handlers still cannot access the servers

• Have still not succeeded in their mission

• Still can not meme

It doesn't matter keep posting. Serious.

Here’s how to use the same Socratic method Q used on us for “Red Pilling” your family, friends, coworkers and neighbors without ruining your relationships or being labeled as a “conspiracy theorist”…

• First and foremost: Red pilling is a PROCESS, not an event! It requires patience and skill!

• Find some common ground where they’ve already questioned the MSM narrative (JFK, RFK, Oswald, John John, Clintons, Clinton Foundation, Arkancides, BHO/birth certificate, 9/11, Building 7, no video of plane hitting Pentagon, missing 2.3 trillion dollars, Halliburton, rigged primary election, MSM biases, Russian collusion, Fox News, CNN, etc.).

• Once common ground discovered, let them tell you everything they have learned about the topic. Even if you disagree, don’t say so.

• Once the topic is fully explored, compliment them on their knowledge and then ask if they think if it also ties to [blank] (another topic/event/lie you want to make them curious about).

• If they agree, do NOT “dump” on them with information you’ve already learned; ask them to dig into it and agree to speak about it in a week or so.

• During the second conversation, let them be the expert and teach you (keep playing dumb). Be sure to praise them for their open-mindedness and encourage them to keep learning.

• Ask them to learn about another topic that relates to this one and agree to speak again at a predetermined time. Then, let them teach you again, regardless about how much you already know about the topic.

• Ask a LOT of questions; allow them to “sell themselves” on new ideas (people never argue with their own ideas, but they subconsciously “push back” against other people’s ideas).

• Always play dumb; let THEM become the expert.

• Ask for their help “solving a puzzle”; let them BE the expert. For example, "Hey, Dad… you've been around a lot longer than I have. Can you remember any time in our history when the top dogs in the C_A, F_I and D_J have all been fired within the same year? This seems weird to me. Does Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, Brennan, Clapper and that group have anything in common? I'm lost here, can you help me understand this mess?" Let HIM dig and become the "expert". Works every time.

• Understand that the deeper someone is dug into the opposing viewpoint, the farther they will snap into the other direction once they wake up.

• If someone shares an idea that you believe is wrong/ignorant, do NOT push back; ask, “help me see what you’re seeing”, or “help me understand that better”. The more someone tries to explain something that has no basis, the higher the likelihood they will eventually change their own mind (which YOU can NOT do for/to them).

• Once someone shows a thirst for new knowledge, invite them to share their ideas with a third person while you are also present (the more they view themselves as a mentor/teacher, the more this reinforces their new beliefs).

• When stuck, offer to “switch sides” and debate the topic from their point of view and have them argue from your point of view. This often helps them talk themselves out of their original viewpoint.

• When you have to make a statement (instead of asking a question), open it with a “softening statement”: “Do you think it may be possible that …”, or, “I’m not sure this is right, but I just read that …” This provides possibilities for you and the other person.

• As often as possible, only discuss events that have already happened. When forced to discuss what you think MIGHT happen in the future, use softening statements first (see paragraph immediately above this one).

• Do NOT let the conversation turn into a Red vs. Blue argument. Keep repeating that there’s corruption on both sides of the aisle (point to the huge number of Republican resignations/not running for re-election for both senators and members of congress). Keep the discussion focused on GOOD vs. EVIL!

• Final point: ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IN EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION, YOU ARE THE SECOND-BEST SALESPERSON! Get them talking, keep them talking and encourage their passion for digging!

• SHOW the other person that you’ve embraced the teachings of Jesus through your kindness, patience and lack of judgment of their ideas.

• Happy pilling, and beer at the parade, Patriots!

…the absolute POWER leaving the FIRST reply to a post can have on its eventual effectiveness.

Can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve left a post, and almost by the speed of light a denigrating

counter remark is left. It scares people off. People need to recognize the cyber-group-AI-stalking

and use it as a marker to delve further when it happens. Flak always strongest above the target etc.

>Why does Q allow this?

Q is playing the" time will tell and we shall see" card.

They will not tell anyone what to do unless it effects their own mission.

They also only give one warnign, and that warning was given a couple days ago.

Time will tell and we shall see.

because that's part of it. Just keep posting. If the wheels fall off, they fall off.

If not, then yay. Either way Trumps gotta win.
