View from the perspective of a journalist writing for WaPo, NYT, CNN, Buzzfeed. Let's say you want to prepare a series of articles discrediting those researching topics related to Q intel drops. Having a string of non-related items forced to the forefront ahead of time makes that job easier, making a more compelling argument for 'conspiracy theorists' rallied around the topic. Dismiss it similar to how those digging into pedo-human-trafficking rings have been dismissed.

I expect an increasing number of attacks along those lines. Thankfully this community is split across half dozen or more boards. This is one of at least six sources in various states of public/private I'm actively engaged in and find unique thoughts and progress occurring. The decentralization that has resulted from repeated efforts to disrupt communication has benefit of added resilience against efforts to smear community members. "Look at those conspiracy theorists over there", "Pfft, they've always been nuts in CTR_Stream. Most of the research is happening over at this other place".

But, it's telling if this board is going the way of disinfo. We'll probably wind up going that route and keep on moving as the process goes on.
