All you need to know at link. QAnon[a] (/kjuːəˈnɒn/) is a far-right conspiracy theory[1] which began with an October 2017 post on the anonymous imageboard 4chan by someone using the handle Q, a presumably American[2] individual that may have later grown to include multiple individuals[3][4][5] claiming to have access to classified information involving the Trump administration and its opponents in the United States. The theory details a supposed secret conspiracy by an alleged "deep state" against U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters.[6] The account has falsely accused numerous liberal Hollywood actors, politicians, and high-ranking officials of engaging in an international child sex trafficking ring, and that Trump feigned collusion with Russians to enlist Robert Mueller to join him in exposing the ring and preventing a coup d'état by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and George Soros.[7][8][9] "Q" is a reference to the top-secret Q clearance. The conspiracy theory, mainly popularized by supporters of President Trump under the names The Storm and The Great Awakening, has been widely characterized as "baseless",[10][11][12] "unhinged"[13] and "evidence-free".[14] Its proponents have been called "a deranged conspiracy cult"[15] and "some of the Internet's most outré Trump fans".[16] QAnon adherents began appearing at Trump rallies during the summer of 2018[17] and a major promoter of the conspiracy theory was granted a photo op with President Trump in the Oval Office on August 24, 2018.[18] In September 2018, Jack Posobiec, a conspiracy theorist and correspondent for One America News Network, claimed to know the identity of the creators of QAnon. According to him, the phenomenon was started by two pro-Trump Twitter trolls who intended to generate enthusiasm among Trump supporters following the Unite the Right rally, which was viewed as a disaster for the far-right. Posobiec claims that the letter Q was indeed chosen due to the Italian novel, and that the conspiracy theory was carefully assembled from pieces of Wikileaks information drops, Pizzagate, and Infowars rhetoric. After the original authors ended their involvement, a new group – supposedly called ″the Patriot Soapbox group″ – continued it and moved to an 8chan board moderated by them, apparently in an effort to make money. (On 8chan, users are allowed to set up and moderate their own boards, whereas boards and moderation on 4chan are completely controlled by the site staff.) The profit-oriented approach to QAnon has since then been joined by others, including a person who sells ″exclusive Q decodes″ via Patreon.[41] Hoover Dam incident On June 15, 2018, Matthew Phillip Wright of Henderson, Nevada, was arrested on terrorism and other charges for driving an armored vehicle, containing an AR-15 and handgun, to the Hoover Dam and blocking traffic for 90 minutes.[47] He said he was on a mission involving QAnon: to demand that the Justice Department "release the OIG report" on the conduct of FBI agents during the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.[48][5][10] Since a copy of the OIG report had been released the day prior, the man had been motivated by a Q "drop" which claimed the released version of the OIG report had been heavily modified.[10] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon
