During the 2018 Midterms in the United States, strange signs started appearing at political rallies. Held up by non-descript attendees, the signs read simply, “We are Q.” For those Trekkers out there, you might be confused: no, these rallygoers were not making an oblique reference to the infamous Star Trek: The Next Generation character portrayed by John de Lancie. The group appeared from the fringes of internet chat rooms, such as on the website of 4Chan, a peculiar mixture of cyberpunks and various online misfits.
“Q” is derived from an anonymous poster on the internet forum, a source claiming to have a top secret clearance with the U.S. intelligence community. This person (or group of people) spun an intricate conspiracy theory that many Far Right activists on gonzo internet forums picked up and began disseminating to wider audiences online and in their communities.
The conspiracy goes like this: the real purpose of the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation was not to investigate Donald Trump, but instead to investigate Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and people like former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman, John Podesta. The QAnon conspiracy theory is far-reaching, with new pieces added with regularity, in the form of what Q supporters refer to as “breadcrumbs.” One such addition to the conspiracy theory last year was that the Mueller probe was also looking into the now-deceased Senator John McCain (R-AZ) for his illegal activities.
What is the ultimate end of the QAnon conspiracy; what does Mueller hope to achieve, according to them?
That part, like most conspiracy theories, is conveniently not knowable. The Mueller investigation, having ended in a whimper rather than the bang the Trump-hating Fake News was hoping for, should have been the end of the QAnon conspiracy theory. QAnon conspiracy theorists have simultaneously argued that the ultimate target of the Mueller investigation is either the “Deep State” of nefarious anti-American, globalist actors, or the aim is to pursue high-profile pedophiles in the United States government and in other powerful circles related to the government.
QAnon’s Pernicious Connections to “Pizzagate”
Now for the most pernicious aspect of the QAnon conspiracy theory. In 2016, conspiracists on 4Chan and other similar fringe messaging boards claimed that the emails stolen from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s (and subsequently made public by WikiLeaks) contained secret messages referring to a powerful ring of pedophiles who were using a local Washington, D.C. pizzeria as a base of operations to conduct their crimes. None of these claims were true. But, what ended up happening was that the highly irresponsible conspiracy theory triggered a mentally unstable man, who in turn took a gun to a D.C. pizzeria with intent to use it.
The source material for these theories is the vile, uber-fringe 4Chan and 8Chan. 4Chan was launched in 2003 as a place to share images and discuss Japanese anime. In fact, it was modeled on the Japanese anime internet boards, such as Futaba Channel. Over time, though, the already eclectic group of online personalities that 4Chan attracted devolved into something darker. It became a haven for crazed conspiracy theorists from both sides of the political divide. 4Chan also became popular among the white nationalist community, and also became a place for hackers and other criminals–including child pornographers. If there was a Hell on the internet, 4Chan was Hell.
Meanwhile, a similar website, created by gonzo software developer, Frederick Brennan, 8Chan was launched in 2013 as a response to what Brennan believed was the rise in authoritarianism, censorship, and surveillance on 4Chan. Despite the fact that 8Chan has become the 3,857th most viewed website in the world, with an average of 35,000 unique visitors per day and 400,000 original posts per day, it too has become mired in controversy. 8Chan, which has been billed as the more libertarian (though, perhaps libertine would be better) 4Chan, has apparently become a hub of international child pornography postings. This became such a problem that, in 2015, 8Chan was blacklisted by Google search. It is a profound understatement to claim that anything positive or good comes from these boards. Yet, it is precisely from sites like these that the “Pizzagate” and now the QAnon conspiracy theories emanate.
Alternative media figures, such as Mike Cernovich, have also furthered the “Pizzagate” and QAnon conspiracy theories. Some of these individuals have massive social media followings. With big internet names furthering the conspiracies, it was only a matter of time before disaster struck. In 2016, when the pizzeria shooting happened, several media outlets attempted to lay the blame at the feet of people like Cernovich. This only gave the Fake News Industrial Complex more fuel in their ongoing war against President Trump and the Right.
The very same group of internet Alt-Right activists and online forums that furthered the “Pizzagate” conspiracy have also spread the QAnon conspiracy theory.
Here are some of the other bizarre, totally inaccurate predictions that QAnon has made:
01/21/18 – A flood was alleged to be coming. A flood consisting of various forms of media that I imagine were supposed to implicate somebody in something nefarious. Sadly, this flood never came.
01/21/18 – Q makes some very certain claims about the Nunes Memo, which of course do not come remotely true when the memo is released a couple weeks later.
01/22/18 – Q posts a confirmed fake Podesta email, then promptly deletes it. But not before his followers have time to notice. 02/09/18 – Next week [Next week] was declared ‘suicide weekend‘. Nothing came to pass.
02/21/18 – Q predicts that the founder of Twitter is removing accounts because he and his Deep State friends are in deep trouble. Nothing came to pass.
03/15/18 – Q declares ‘March Madness’ and that ‘the public will soon know’. Nothing came to pass.
04/02/18 – April was supposed to be a “BIG month“, full of happenings including but not limited to arrests, the release of the IG report, the wall, “military start”, and unsealed indictments. Nothing came to pass.
Where Does QAnon Go From Here?
Things have gotten even stranger for the QAnon conspiracists now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his final report. While the report has not yet been made public, Attorney General William Barr has seen it, and he has issued a summary of the report.
AG Barr explains that Mueller has not proven any collusion or coordination between President Donald Trump, his top 2016 campaign staffers, and Russian intelligence. The focus of the investigation was Donald Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Podesta, or even John McCain were not targets of the Mueller probe in any way as Q promised.
The fact that the QAnon conspiracy theory is tied in with the “Pizzagate” fiasco is bad enough. The more damaging part is that these cult-like actors link themselves to the Trump movement, despite the fact that no member of the Trump movement has anything to do with these insane theories. They are the outgrowth of a pathetic group who exist online, in the dark corners of the worldwide web. That they have attached their delusions to the Trump movement is unfortunate.
But, they do not represent and are not affiliated with President Trump, his supporters, or those who work for the president.
Recently, some Q supporters have insisted that certain pictures of President Trump and key advisers in the White House “prove” that they are, in fact, members of the Q conspiracy because their positioning makes it appear as though they are displaying subliminal messages about Q. These internet personalities claim to be supporting the President. Yet, consistently, their actions have shown that they are not allies of the President. They damage and besmirch the Trump movement with their irresponsible actions.
In that their actions, both directly and indirectly, aid those who would do damage to the Make America Great Again Agenda and see it fail. Whoever Q or QAnon may be, they are most decidedly not close to the President, they are not Conservatives, and with every post they make, they subvert the MAGA Agenda.
Hey, wait. Didn't Gorka get fired?

You keep saying we. You mean those paying you to play at trolling?
I’ve noticed that the closer it gets to the dance, the shriller you get.
You’re scared.
I’m saying we as in “we” who support President Trump and his re-election. I’m not paid by anyone in any way and I’m not trolling you or anyone here. This is news about a senior advisor to President Trump who worked in the White House and not only killed any claim people made he is Q, but he calls it out for what it is.
The dance is going to get far worse for those behind the Russia Collusion Hoax and the QAnon grift.
I’m looking forward to seeing both exposed although the former is the one I’m praying for most.
Have a great day.
I'll put the "nuttery" on the Q threads up against the "nuttery" on the non-Q threads (beyond the trees) any day.
Just cause there's a worm in one apple doesn't mean the whole barrel is bad. Didn't Michael Jackson say something like that back when he was black (and alive)?
Example. What if the casual observer believe we were all raving anti-blogger cultists just by reading the postings of one FReeper?
Would that be fair?
#ThinkAboutIt
Probably Walt Disney World
You probably heard that from the same guy who created the Trump dossier...........
Dittoes, but there are rabbit trails when have gone nowhere.
Or perhaps I have too much work already without chasing down some mirage that I cannot substantiate.
Sheesh, you people.
What people is that? The ones that don't buy into what they determine to not be true? Guilty.
Better to just take the media's word for it, right?
Certain media I accept, for the most part. Certainly isn't the MSM, which I include Fox as a part of that descriptive, and have for quite sometime now.
Like I said Gorka used to follow QAnon. That's when I started ignoring what Gorga had to say. Glad to see he is no longer mesmerized by him.
To be honest I could careless what others think about QAnon, that's their business. I just personally do not believe. But there were many on this board that promoted the notion that Mueller was working for & with President Trump, and they offered up the same for Sessions as well. They were the same people who were rabid believers of QAnon.
How do you know that this is the truth?
There is enough there where NR dug in to maga coalition at least to be very skeptical of the organization. Makes one wonder why they are so obsessed with controlling the Q narrative.
Controlling what people think and follow is more of a liberal, progressive trait than a true conservative trait. That's one reason why I don't trust maga coalition at all or any of its shills.

Well, you won't like this answer, but there is over a year's worth of evidence and can't be spelled out in a simple paragraph like some people ask for.
The vast accumulation of "evidence" is overwhelming and undeniable at this point.
I used to understand the "deniers" reluctance to believing something like Q could exist, but now I just put it down to plain old ignorance and their being convinced by other ignorant people.
A fair look into the actual evidence can lead to no other conclusion and the bleatings of these "anti-Q" deniers are becoming more and more ridiculous.
Go to the Q thread and check out the links at the top of the page. And the internet is a vast place with lots of other evidence. OR, start reading the Q postings from day one and then juxtapose them with events as they've transpired.
It's really kinda fascinating to have a front row seat to THE PLAN.
I wish you well, patriot.
“There is enough there where NR dug in to maga coalition at least to be very skeptical..”
Yeah, like what? It’s a tiny pro-Trump PAC. LMAO!
Try harder.
Not to me. I consider, common sense, human nature, and past behavior to predict current and future behavior.
These people are capable of anything. ANYTHING, I tell ya. And by "these people" I mean the enemy, the derps, the orcs. And not just democrats or Americans.
Not so preposterous if you "expand your thinking", as Q says.
I know it’s part of a very real truth. None of the facts have been disproven or disputed. Anyone who wants to see irrefutable facts can choose to see or not.
Plenty of links/references offered here with Dr. Gorka’s article.
Shoot, the people who admitted to starting the LARP are both publicly denouncing it. Yet, people can’t handle it. Oh well, you try to free as many as you can.
Sure we do. You're singing from the same playbook.
How is that not relevant?
That would be teh AWESOME. I'd feel pretty important and want to get paid.
Didn't Michael Jackson say something like that back when he was black (and alive)?
Now you're confusing me.
I thought Jackson and Kennedy and Future Barron and Nicki Tesla
and the Rothchildren and three different Spidermen and they
all ate up kids out back of a concrete plant in Arizona.
I just can't buy it, man.
I GET that you support the President and I LOVE that...
But that other stuff... man...
Lol
On to another unproven claim eh?
Or are you they one person that still believes the microchip crap?
Sad so sad..
> Well, you won’t like this answer, but there is over a year’s worth of evidence and can’t be spelled out in a simple paragraph like some people ask for.
What would suffice is a single clear example of a Q prediction becoming reality. If the evidence is overwhelming, surely there must be one such example.
What I witnessed in early Q posts, which led me to discarding the phenomenon as an epic troll, was a lot of extreme vagueness of the type that horoscope writers use so that horoscopes can be interpreted to apply to anyone in any situation.
I had a concrete example of evidence to the contrary, I would surely revise my opinion, or at the very least consider the question re-opened.
