How three conspiracy theorists took 'Q' and sparked Qanon
NBC News ^ | 8/14/2018 | Brandy Zadrozny and Ben Collins

In November 2017, a small-time YouTube video creator and two moderators of the 4chan website, one of the most extreme message boards on the internet, banded together and plucked out of obscurity an anonymous and cryptic post from the many conspiracy theories that populated the website's message board.

Over the next several months, they would create videos, a Reddit community, a business and an entire mythology based off the 4chan posts of “Q,” the pseudonym of a person claiming to be a high-ranking military officer. The theory they espoused would become Qanon

Exactly

#Memo factually demonstrates collusion at highest levels.
#Memo factually demonstrates HUSSEIN ADMIN weaponized INTEL community to ensure D victory [+insurance].
#Memo factually demonstrates ‘knowingly false intel’ provided to FISA Judges to obtain warrant(s)

This should end all doubt regarding the legitimacy of Q.

Do you think that Donald Trump is brilliant enough to use such a tool in order to drain the swamp?

_______________________________________________

In what way has Q drained the swamp? What actual change; what direct result has any of these Q drops produced?

I just don’t see any effectiveness or change in this whole Q anon chit chat stuff.

The funny thing is that truly random stuff doesn’t appear random. For example, a coin flipped 6 times would randomly be all heads or all tails 3% of the time. This so-called expert’s option is worthless in one data point.

There they go using that “Extreme” word.
Freedom of Speech...Extreme
Assault and Battery by Antifa and SEIU...Justified.
I still think Q is a planted story by the Clinton Machine.

Sure is playing out like one.

Q is not one person. Q says they are not one person. Now look at the article excerpt at the beginning of this thread. It says that Q is one person. A provably false statement. The narrative is that Trump is directly involved with Q. So the correct question is what can Trump and his administration do ? Is anything coming from the Trump administration- say in regards to the arrest of those involved in the fake Russian insurance plan? And Are people more awake?

MSM seems to be getting pretty frantic about the Q phenomenon. Once they are finally rid of Alex Jones they will need to locate, identify, and dispose of the Q folks. If you look around you will see that we are rapidly losing the web. With Apple becoming essentially a Chinese company and giving all their Tech to the government there as part of the deal I expect the hitherto safe non FB non Google etc sites to be wiped out one by one for a bit then wholesale. They are already going after servers in addition to just DDOSing individual sites.
