Who Is Behind QAnon? Linguistic Detectives Find Fingerprints
https://dnyuz.com/2022/02/19/who-is-behind-qanon-linguistic-detectives-find-fingerprints/
“Open your eyes,” the online post began, claiming, “Many in our govt
worship Satan.”
That warning, published on a freewheeling online message board in
October 2017, was the beginning of the movement now known as QAnon. Paul
Furber was its first apostle.
The outlandish claim made perfect sense to Mr. Furber, a South African
software developer and tech journalist long fascinated with American
politics and conspiracy theories, he said in an interview.
...
Now two teams of forensic linguists say their analysis of the Q texts
shows that Mr. Furber, one of the first online commentators to call
attention to the earliest messages, actually played the lead role in
writing them.
...
In a telephone interview from his home near Johannesburg, Mr. Furber,
55, did not dispute that Q’s writing resembled his own. Instead, he
claimed that Q’s posts had influenced him so deeply that they altered
his prose.
Q’s messages “took over our lives, literally,” Mr. Furber said. “We all
started talking like him.”
Linguistic experts said that was implausible, and the scientists who
conducted the studies noted that their analyses included tweets by Mr.
Furber from the first days Q emerged.
Mr. Watkins, in a telephone interview, said, “I am not Q.”
