[shitpost] Is Q's most recent image a shoop?
140 2018-05-17 by snallygaster
Recently, Q posted this image wherein he suggests that he's in possession of an Executive Order (EOs don't have letterheads, but that's beside the point in this case). While the Qultists debated over the potential contents of the piece of paper, I decided to check out White House letterheads. The only images readily available online of a White House seal from Trump (or any other president for that matter) features a one-headed eagle. In fact, the only images that display the two-headed eagle are from things like a local news website and seem to originate from a stock photo. I think you can see the similarities between these photos and the one that Q posted.
Obviously they're not identical. However, Q's is obviously shooped and/or filtered, given the blur and unnatural lighting (not to mention that the "letterhead" is heavily filled in with low detail, which is not the case in any presidential letterheads). The perspective of the image also seems off. The text at the top doesn't seem to match the alignment of the text at the bottom, and the font at the bottom is much larger than the one at the top. Other factors such as the shading and the apparent size of the paper seem a little weird to me too.
Any image editing masters want to chime in? What do you guys think? Has Q passed a shitty shoop job off as an Executive Order, or am I as nuts as the Qultists?

The letter Q looks like a balloon. What do balloons do? They float into the sky. Why does Q want you to look to the sky? Is it because there are things on earth he wants to distract you from? No, it's because Jesus is returning soon. Stay woke.

If I wanted to create a photo like this I wouldn't even bother photo-shopping anything, I'd just buy a nice agenda and pen, and print out the faked document for real. It's probably be easier that way too, plus in the future you could release more photos with the same props for 'authenticity;.
1 snallygaster 2018-05-17
Apparently the pen's been in a few shots, so that could be real. My guess is he printed out the piece of paper on the bottom, position the pen and binder, then shooped the letterhead on top + the top right corner after the pen.
1 frankthecrank1 2018-05-17
and the desk at camp david. i guess a larper broke in there and put a piece of paper on the desk, took a pic, then went home and photoshopped it lol.

Finding the 4chan threads referencing that pic will be MUCH harder, but they did prove it was that desk though. I think it was Obama's desk but moved there when Trump took over. Don't quote me on that but i think i'm right.
1 butimjustagirl 2018-05-17
thanks
1 snallygaster 2018-05-17
He's bullshitting you. This is the "proof" that the image was taken at Camp David. That there is a desk at Camp David. Not a desk with the same color, texture, or type of wood in Q's picture, but a desk. This is what apparently holds up as 'irrefutable evidence'. Something that anybody with eyes can see doesn't even match.
1 ilizabitch 2018-05-17
i guess i shouldn't be surprised bc these people are clearly all retarded, but that wood stain/type isn't even on the same plane of existence as the desk at camp david's. what is even happening here? are these ppl all high off wood stain themselves?
1 Bjantigua 2018-05-17
OMG. One desk is at Campdavid. The other more recent desk is at the white house. LOL.
1 riemann1413 2018-05-17
you're saying that this pic https://qanon.pub/data/images/254d3301a888d245e2568b062c9c0a1b65f9359abb7773e62e01998302107d8d.png
is proof that Q was at camp david
but then later decided to shop a photo of a fake executive order?
1 snallygaster 2018-05-17
Bahahahahaha, he posted a completely different presidential letterhead in that 'drop'. It looks like another shoop too; I wonder which google image result he used.
Also, this shit is worse than divination. I don't see how somebody could conceivably construe this as 'proof' that the guy's at Camp David unless there's an image of a desk there with a wood grain that matches this perfectly.
1 TruthPains 2018-05-17
Q likes hanging out with Trump in between fucking with Picard; what is so hard to understand about that?
1 Bjantigua 2018-05-17
All Qs photos are originals
1 snallygaster 2018-05-17
Proof?
1 snallygaster 2018-05-17
If you're talking about this "proof" then you're beyond the point of saving; the desk is a completely different color tone than the one in Q's picture and seems to be made out of polished wood in comparison to the rough texture of the wood in Q's image. It doesn't even look like the same type of wood. This is non-evidence at best and pretty strong evidence that Q devotees will find the Virgin Mary in a piece of toast at worst.

People are so quick to dismiss that there are bots on Reddit, that aren't Russian. Saying, like you, who would pay to have people on here as bots?... but are quick to accept that Russians get paid to be on Reddit as bots. Just have an open minded view is all I was suggesting.

"If [entity] does something then [completely different entity] does it too" is faulty logic for so many reasons.
1 haveyouseenmymarble 2018-05-17
"I accept that [enemy entity] is trolling this site for its political purpose, but to think that [friendly entity] is doing the same is laughable." is equally poor logic.
The truth is that the internet has become a battleground of ideologies and radical ideas, one where ideas are artificially seeded, spread and inflated, while others are diminished, attacked, and extinguished. While I'm still waiting for proof of the fact, I don't doubt that Russia has an online influence operation going. I'm equally convinced that China does the same, as does Israel, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, the UK, the US, and so on, and so forth.
There were so many recently created accounts in the beginning, dismissing the allegations against the DNC and their treatment of Bernie, often using verbatim the same exact phrases and talking points, so that their shilling efforts couldn't have been any more obvious. These accounts have since become slightly harder to detect, as they appear to be using artificially aged or old vacant accounts now, too.
At any rate, it's clear that we're bombarded with bullshit from all political angles in a deliberate attempt to seize public consciousness.

I honestly just feel bad for these people at this point. Some day in the near future "q" will either disappear or reveal the ruse and their entire world will come crashing down around them. They've been so committed to this for over a year now and post about it with such passion that I'm afraid a mass suicide will follow the exposure of Q as the obvious fake it's always been.
Sidenote, my 87 year old grandmother asked me about Q on mother's day and I told her I didn't believe it at all, she said she thought it was a load of bullshit too. I have no idea who these people who believe it actually are.

I'm sure some of them (especially the younger ones) are, but a lot of the True Believers have been involved in the conspiracy circuit for decades. A lot of the things they reference are really obscure militia, doomsday christianity, etc. shit. There's been a strain of paranoia in American culture for a long time, and the Qonspiracy is just leveraging that.

Go to forensically and try it out for yourself. Look at the FAQ. Check out examples of presidential seals compared to the ones that Q has posted. Look at the text in the image Q posted compared to text that comes from a natural photograph. I even posted some examples of fake vs. real photographed text. You can see how it was 'proven' in the OP, here, and in this post, and you have all the resources you need to run your own examples of fake and real photographed text through the program (and/or magnify it in your favorite image-editing software to see the difference). You should additionally look up the methods that false psychics and prophets use to keep people hooked on the methods that they're trying to convey and compare examples, e.g. Branch Davidians, to what you're following in GA.

How does this even prove it is a photoshop... unless the "forensics" site can be explained/reproduced with proof that it is a vaild way to prove a shop... this is just a bunch of kids (you) playing with filters over an image.
1 snallygaster 2018-05-17
Here's the original explanation behind why the first two images are significant. The third is mine- in the 'White House' text there's gray pixels that contrast with both the text and the paper and indicate that the text has been messily selected and moved or that the part of the image above it has been changed somehow. It's like how, when you use the 'magic wand' or 'fill' tool in an editing software, you get some unwanted residual pixels stuck to the lines of the thing you're trying to move/fill in, and they don't match with the rest of the photo/area of the photo. Here's an example of what I'm talking about with a 5-min shoop I did using the stock photo. The edges around the letters are blurry and unnatural. Here are examples of what letters on a page look like in a photograph. There are artefacts around the letters, but they're colorful, similar to the pattern of the surrounding paper, and don't have distinct boundaries because the letters are part of the paper. Here's another obvious fake that you can refer to for good measure. For clarity's sake I will say that there are gray artefacts on scanned paper, but they also contain the artefacts you see around text in photos, and Q supposedly posted a photo so it's a moot point anyway.

I'm just really into digital anthropology and how groups develop, communicate, collaborate, and form norms and mythos online, along with the wider social and/or cultural reasons that cause people to reject 'mainstream' thought and culture in favor of online communities. The Q phenomenon is particularly interesting to me because it's the largest 'cult' that's ever formed online, and it's attracting both people from decades-old fringe groups and people who've never been involved in a well-defined subculture. Not to mention that it's carrying over to 'real life' and has the potential to effect political discourse (or cause somebody to do something unsavory). Following the Q phenomenon makes me feel like I did when I was observing Otherkin and other subcultures that have since been absorbed and destroyed by wider 'alt' culture (thanks Tumblr...), so I'm pretty excited about it.

Maybe Q is all the bussy we met along the way.

I am not reporting you yet. I want to leave this post up for others to see, to educate others. At some point, we will sweep you out. You will go to GITMO and spend the rest of your life there.
By the way, how much do they pay you? I bet not a lot, because you don't do your job well.
These qbois are so tough and scary.
