I’m a news and event photographer in DC. This is my chosen profession and I love what I do. I’ve been doing this for seventeen years; the last eleven as a bona fide member of “The Press.” I watched the Hussein administration take the reins of power and continue along the path that Bush had established vis-a-vis the absolute erosion of Press Freedom in America. Hussein used the espionage act more than any other president in our history to not only silence, but crush dissent. When I learned that Hussein had tapped the phones of the Associated Press, I was so incensed that I quit smoking to effect my own tax protest.
I give myself a lot of personal assignments. I don’t make any money from these, but I get paid in the information I glean and sometimes a meal. One of my favorite places to catch one of these is the National Press Club in Washington. Twice I have covered a fellow of particular interest to me. He spoke at a luncheon in 2013 and again at a news conference in 2015. I did not notice at the time, but as I was reviewing these image sets, I saw something on his lapel.
The lightbulb suddenly illuminated. This guy has the classic trilogy of culpability. He was a senior executive with the NSA. He is an expert on the East German Stasi and their programs to surveil the citizenry. He helped design the programs that were being abused. Means.
He went through proper channels to blow the whistle on fraud, abuse and unconstitutional programs. For his trouble he was investigated and prosecuted by the FBI. His life was nearly destroyed with the possibility of what would be a lifetime in a federal prison. Motive.
In the election of 2016, the DC establishment et. al. were delivered mortal blows with the ascension of Donald Trump to the Presidency of The United States of America. This global shift of the power balance yet to be fully felt or appreciated by many was not lost on patriots within our military and intelligence communities. This realignment provided the chance for Q to rise. Opportunity.
I believe Q is none other than Thomas Drake.
Notice the lapel pin on Drake, the tall guy to the right. Also, read the other names in the caption, he’s in some stellar company.
Here is his luncheon speech at the National Press Club from March 13th, 2013. (Note: this predates Snowden’s revelations beginning on June 5, 2013.)

I think you're wrong. Drake might have been a part of the Q team back when he worked for the NSA. Before QAnon even started.
But what was the Q team back then?
NSA does SIGINT. They capture all kinds of transmissions. They may even capture foreign intelligence comms which contain wiretapped US officials. There is no real limit on the level of information they may capture.
Sometimes they will gather data on the President. Sometimes they will gather data on nuclear secrets. It just happens and they cannot prevent it, whatever falls into their net is just there.
There must be a team of people in the NSA with high enough security clearances to see, process and decide how to proceed with this kind of data. Like nuclear secrets. Like president's private communication. Like intercepted foregin wiretaps.
Those people likely form what is known as the Q team in the NSA, having access to everything. Just everything there is.
Drake wearing the lapel pin was a wink to insiders, suggesting that he has seen everything there is to see, that he once was a part of the Q team. I highly doubt that he had any part in the Q we know.
That is my understanding of how things work.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. You may be right. I do hope we learn the truth. Tally-ho, patriot.

Please don’t put a target on his back! No-one, not anyone deserves to be doxxed! Is this a post from a shill that wants this man killed? Tell us your name!!!
14855201? ago
Trust me - I thought about this. I'm not a shill. I'm an honest independent photojournalist. I admire Drake so much that I printed one of my images of him on aluminum and it hangs in my office. I calculated two things in making my decision to share my discoveries. One: If Drake wanted to remain anonymous, he would not have worn this lapel pin for the world to see for the past five years. Two: I'm not - or perhaps, no longer - the first to have made this discovery and published. I believe Drake is wise enough to keep himself out of harm's way.
14855445? ago
Stop putting a target on his back for all the crazy SJW’s to see!
14855749? ago
Oooh...I can't wait to see the SJW army destroy Q. Let me know when to tune in. LOL.
14855946? ago
That must be your real motive!
14854915? ago
Internet research says that Q clearance personnel are usually associated with the Dept. Of Energy due to Atomic energy for weapons, most likely. They could be level 3 or those in level 4 who hold access to the highest risk sensitivity information. Level 4 have the potential to cause the greatest damage to our national security. Since your research shows he was involved as an executive of the NSA then he "could" have this clearance and be a part of the Q team with Trump, especially if the deep state tried to destroy him. I really think it is someone much more shocking to the public. Most citizens would just shrug and say, "Okay, so who are you?" If Q chooses to ID himself, and I think he will since he said we would all be surprised to know who was talking to us on the 8chan board, it will most likely be a shock and awe moment. Something that would help unite the country when all the arrests of the elite occur. Just my opinion on that though.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I have sat on my discovery for more than a month in order to gain more perspective if not more proof. I was aware of the DoE Q level clearance through following the discussions here and on other boards. Has Q stated anything regarding DoE or clearance levels? I did some quick research on map.pub and found this in Q drop 144:
Drop 34 is titled "Q Clearance Patriot."
Drop 48 says the following:
This suggests to me that Q refers to NSA, not DoE.
14860991? ago
I don't disagree with you at all about it being far more likely Q is NSA, that makes perfect sense. I agree the U1 knowledge links Q to DOE with a Q-4 highest clearance access but it surely does not mean "they/he" have to actually work there. Q states, "We have it all." Therefore, an NSA executive with that clearance would "have all the coms" and be able to have prime access to POTUS, his staff, access to all 3 letter agencies, and coordinate with Generals, and Military Intel as well. The Q lapel pin is a bit ostentatious for someone wanting to be hidden, unless all Q clearance folks are given those pins to wear for years of service, then it is in plain sight. Very interesting catch on that picture though, anon. Who knew Q would become the most popular letter in the alphabet?
14854512? ago
Do Thomas Drake's hobbies include riddles and puzzles?
14854924? ago
I can only imagine that is the case.
14853874? ago
VERY interesting. I did some reasearch on him and cant account for why he is repeatedly seen wearing a Q pin
14853584? ago
Fucking idiot.
I AM Q, obviously
I bought my Q lapel badge here

No wait, my friend John is Q. He bought his pin here

No wait, Senator Spartacus is actually Q. He bought his lapel pin here and is MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE CERTAINLY Q BECAUSE HIS IS GOLD..

No, the actor in James Bond p07 was Q. Here he sold his pin... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Collectible-Pin-Letter-Q-Gold-Tone/173200275731?_trkparms=aid%3D555017%26algo%3DPL.CASSINI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D54339%26meid%3Dc1dbc30c236345d59cb772efd6818b1f%26pid%3D100505%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26%26itm%3D173200275731&_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226
14853710? ago
What a waste of time to type all that. Your life must suck.
14853565? ago
I don't think knowing exactly WHO Q may be is that important, but it's always fun to speculate. I do recall that Q said we would be totally blown away by who Q really is and be in denial.
14853381? ago
I've been saying Q is or was NSA!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_A._Drake
14853367? ago
Personally I don't think we need to know. Q is not on any ballot we will ever see. Q is logistical support for POTUS and provides a conduit for the President to communicate with his base - us.
That is all we need to know. Q does not make policy. Q's main function is to communicate information to us when we need it as the mainstream media has been compromised in the US, and most other countries. Q is an anti-propaganda machine for this Administration and provides encouragement and support. There is nothing more we need to know. I am grateful this person(s) exist. But I do not need to know identities.
14853360? ago
Q is multiple people. At least 2.
14853351? ago
Here he is wearing a Q! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DSvmWdVVoAIN1tj.jpg

Awesome dig anon So this was from 2013!
14853526? ago
The image I posted is from 2015. His talk at NPC was in the Spring of 2013.
14853281? ago
Q wants to remain anonymous so we should respect that... rather than trying to doxx Q and fuck up President Trump's plan to save America and western civilization.
It doesn't matter who Q is, providing the intel is good.
14853511? ago
I considered that. Then considered that if Drake is Q and wanted that to remain undiscovered, he would not have assumed the Q label having worn this lapel pin for more than 5 years.
14854077? ago
Why risk doxxing Q?
You'd risk fucking up President Trump's plan because you're bored?
14855360? ago
You honestly think some bored dude could fuck up the greatest plan ever devised and executed from his keyboard and camera? You're my hero. <3 Seriously, if Drake is Q and didn't want this discovery made, I believe he is wise enough to know better. Don't you? Perhaps this was another way of Q talking to us - just those of us better with cameras than keyboards. That is to say, Many pro photogs like myself love to get close on the details of our subjects. Maybe they've got a cool watch or mismatched socks - we tend to notice these things while the other journos are clacking away at their laptops.
14855521? ago
I think it's fucking retarded to try to doxx Q.
14855727? ago
If Drake is indeed Q, he doxxed himself by wearing the damn pin. Do you believe he didn't anticipate some autist somewhere making this discovery?
14853200? ago
Hes actually a 400lbs beast living in his mommy's basement.
