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.
“You just don’t seem to have a grasp on how things work in a workplace...”
Said bags, the Qult promoter. You don’t realize how entertaining this is.
Read some of Takei’s tweets. Even they contain Hey friend.

Where is Canada on this map ?
Take your time....
Like the derp claiming that Q said “military start” but nothing happened
White House directs Army Corps of Engineers to look at ways to fund border security
Fox News is told. The Military Construction appropriations bill could provide additional funding in the event of an emergency declaration.
Or that “suicide weekend” never occurred
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/secret-service-responds-reports-shots-fired-white-house-n852921
Man fires gun and commits suicide in front of the White House
I also like gorka’s claim that Twitter isn’t censoring conservatives
https://nypost.com/2018/09/05/twitter-ceo-we-dont-censor-conservatives
Twitter CEO: We don’t censor conservatives
We will have to revisit this ridiculous thread after the OIG report is released next month.
I’ll tell you what the derps honestly remind me of is the Atlanta falcons in the third quarter they think they have a big lead but it’s Trump’s turn to go on offense...
So the trolls can talk crap all game I know who is going home with the trophy.
Down.
Whadda I win?
This post is irrelevant.
Dream visions don't count.
Check it out bags; people doing YouTube Live and blasting the QAnon hoaxers and some of the newest grifters:

And yet I exposed you for the shill that you are.
I didn't even have to be good for that.
Oh, but I do.
Dismantling arrogant know-it-alls is my bread and butter.
And it's good enough till Game of Thrones comes out Sunday.
After that, you're free to derp on Sunday nights unmolested. Save the date.
Lol and he has a whole 168 People watching
Hahahahahahaha
Meanwhile
Praying medic
Has over
196,000 views on his latest video
Maybe if you repost his video link 10,000 more times
Hahahahahaha
And I will not listen to your tribe of derps. They are all bukkake practitioners, or so I've heard.
*squirt splat*
I’m not worried about how much preying insect gets today. I’m enjoying his unmasking as QAnon dropper and decoder.
Did you know that KingAnon is kicking the crap out the QAnon hoaxers?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOUYBj3a7do
These derps amused me so.
Can we get back to helicoptors? That's my fave.
Hey, what happened to mickety? Did his head finally explode or what?
“This ongoing debate about a supposed unauthorized missile
launch directed at AF1 is a good example of the problem
these internet hoaxsters represent.”
Do you suppose all are in lock step about what that’s all about?
I hope we find out what that’s about.
Now, about your dilema...
I’m going to imagine, just for a moment, that you are
really “MAGA”, and you see this horrible threat hanging
over the heads of all the poor, misled, Trump and Maga
supporting people that found an army to work with,
somewhere in the “Q” battle sphere.
(and it matters because there are SO MANY of them...)
(Or a dangerous few. Pick talking point choice.)
How ruined and useless they are all going to be when they
find out, What? Q is going to retire on Q stuff proceeds?
Q isn’t quite what we hoped? Or what our Defenders should
have made him at some point? He’s Mosad, Chinese, Russia,
Saudi, Iranian, autistic millennial socialpaths?
(We’ve got lots. Got any new good ones?)
Do you know when all that ceased to really matter?
It ceased to matter when enough people decided they
could reasonably (And sometimes unreasonably...)
debate, speculate, research, pray and meme together
about the issues.
When they found the army they had,
learned how to see the battle sphere and the players,
and did what they could.
Each as an army of one.
Intentionally Unified.
For all.
If Q is bad, Q will have to deal with that.
The legion of people that found each other
have learned a lot.
They’ll still be there doing MAGA stuff.
As the General, and Destin, suggest.
So don’t fret so much.
Bring Popcorn!
~Easy
Poor Rick Astley. That was a great song
He needed to lose the trenchcoat
You're kinda a nerd, aint ya romey? Tell them over there that you're getting the crap kicked out of you over here. And it's probly way more funnier than that nerd fest.
We have helicoptors.
If it wasn't so sad, it'd be funny. But I'll still try to make it funny anyway. Cause if you can't laugh, you can't live, I always say.
Right romey?
Haha. Kinganon. Is that anime?
You’re kinda a nerd, aint ya romey? Tell them over there that you’re getting the crap kicked out of you over here. And it’s probly way more funnier than that nerd fest.

Oh let’s not forget he needs to tell them about the loss of a comrade on Helicopter Hill (I’m still LMAO over that one).
CCat
Wrong...that’s Canada in the upper left. Its territorial waters extend about midway into the straits, including some of the San Juan Islands. The city of Bellingham WA is to the right of SJI.
Question 2: If an aircraft were flying along the red line from south to north, would it pass directly over Whidbey Island?
Plus the fact that he was a ginger and his voice didn't fit his visage.
Kinda like Vanilla Ice trying to portray as ghetto. Just a chocolate mess.
I'm trying to bring back the rick-roll for old times sake. I think it's time.
