>and 43+4 kept coming back to me
'47 has meaning for me too, BD. It's going to take me a while to wade through this but I promise I will. Thinking outside the box indeed. I do have a query for you that may be related.
I assume you, like me, have been here for some time back on /pol/. I have watched the evolution of this (Q's?) discourse with fascination.
/pol/ went thru an organizational period with increasingly formidable abilities. The first real traction (that bit us on the ass) was PP/Gate. We regrouped and licked our wounds with HWNDU/OWS and smaller campaigns.
Seth Rich was, I believe, when the chan's reached really significant potential. It did not go un-noticed. Instead of the liberal shitposters shilling up the threads, we attracted an organized foe. CTR/Shareblue/Clowns etc. It was obvious so many of the participants in PP/Gate were still engaged, and they were connecting the dots. Look at how many names come up in all of the campaigns.
(This is the reason for my lists of "The Usual Suspects". I hope to soon have lists from all of our campaigns.)
Back on topic, the anti Antifa campaign really alarmed our foes, as did our response to the LV shootings. The offense was getting more sophisticated just as we did. Some of us were regularly posting the cointelpro, and the DNC playbook which helped, but with unlimited resources, they just came at us harder.
/cbts/ was the straw that broke the camels back. (((They))) couldn't allow us to go on with business as usual as we really had the bit in our teeth. I think when they unleashed Snow White on the night of the bans they shot their wad.
When we ex-filtrated to 8ch we were initially hampered by name/fame/trip fags shitting things up a bit, but I think there was a sly strategy involved. This is the heart of my query.
When we landed on 8ch cbts we were "given" our own board which soon fragmented into splinter groups like this one which had the salutary effect of diluting opposition efforts. They had to monitor/disrupt those threads within a thread for dangerous content to deflect, but they couldn't be everywhere all the time.
It was at this point that I started commenting that "we were being played". I meant this as a double entendre, we were being used to further the Q's agenda, but we were also pieces in a game. I believe that the Q''s are conversant if not good at chess (I'm not) and saw another "move".
This move was both allegorical and physical. When the BO's shitted up cbts, Q sponsored (I won't say "lead" because you can't lead autistic cats) the last "migration" to qresearch and greatawakening. This consolidated his grip on the board(s) and the proliferation of splinter threads seems to have fatally defused offensive capabilities in anything but a concentrated brigade, which we now is a bellwether of when we're over the target.
Ok, the chess. Are there comparable strategies in chess to what we've seen in these campaigns, macro and micro? The migrations, changing tactics, splintering and diffusion? If so, can you predict what are potentially some of the next moves on either side? On our side, we are the players and are being played, on their side they are facing a host of adversaries with disparate goals. Any moves?
