The Truth About Q-Anon

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.

My guess is that you are talking to a paid actor. They were willing to break the rules in order to post this article. And they have stuck to their purpose all day long. It seems that they have a very vested interest in discrediting Q.

And maybe you're talking to paid actors on FR whose sole interest is monetizing 'Q'.

[Vendome]

Well, his post really are nothing more than an amalgam of things that are already in the public view and spear

Further, he feels much like the White House insider during Barack Obama’s days where again much of what he wrote was already known

Making him not really so much of an insider

Nothing against you even I pick up the national and fire or while I’m waiting in the checkout line at the grocery store and wonder “could it be true?”

Do the math...

These last 2 elections have been the most entertaining Evuh!!

[mac_truck]

If you want the inside scoop on what’s happening in DC just read Jack Posobiec’s twitter feed.

https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec

Even Q reads Jack!

[Reily]

You can be in the military and have a Q clearance. It depends on the job & need-to-know.

[romanesq]

The truth is not to be feared.

Neither should a hoax. Both of these are kaput. Thanks Seb!

[romanesq]

Odd you brought up Jack Posbiec. I heard that he was attacked today by the latest addition to the QAnon grift: that guy on The Voice America.

He’s suddenly gone all-in for QAnon and attacking Jack.
Everyone must be trying to get on the payroll before the crash.

[romanesq]

Have heard the mentioned and similarly people claiming that Seb Gorka was Q.

They were trying to find someone connected to the Trump White House.
But Seb has come out and nuked the QAnon hoax. So that’s that.

[enumerated]

Gorka remains a huge Trump advocate - and I’m sure the feeling is mutual.

I wouldn’t put any stock in the constant barrage of fake news stories of conservatives supposedly getting fired or “forced out” of the administration by deep state plants, including his own daughter.

Trump is his own man - nobody is “handling” him. This ubiquitous narrative - that he is held hostage by the deep state - is a favorite of the fake news who wish to make him appear weak and powerless - a pawn of behind-the-scenes power brokers - Putin, the deep state, Ivanka, “Q”, you name it...

It’s just absurd. We’ve rarely in modern history had a stronger, more independent leader in the White House. He answers only to the voters that elected him.

Ronald Reagan was the only other POTUS who was as strong, and as independent of would be “handlers” as is Donald Trump - and the fake news tried the same BS with him.

The most pathetic thing about the “Q” phenomenon is that while Qers claim to be pro-Trump, they actually diminish him by insisting that some behind-the-scenes power brokers (“Q”) put Trump in office. They want us to think some secret society (that THEY are part of) was responsible for Trump’s political success. LOL.

Screw that. It was just Trump and his voters who put him in office. I don’t recall him getting any help from people in high places - it was pretty much always a one man show - and still is. I, for one, will be eternally grateful that he made the sacrifice. Think of the life of luxury he gave up in order to be attacked from all sides.

[romanesq]

“So Sebastion Gorka says Q is a hoax,......Yet Pres. Trump has never denounced Q.”

Yup, way below President Trump’s pay grade. His job is not to waste time on internet hoaxes. Other people handle that. If you notice his advisor and friend just did.

Earlier, when Seb Gorka called QAnon “garbage” he was then attacked with his family doxed. That’s how those QAnon grifters roll.

The very next day and I mean the very next day, Donald Trump Jr. showed up to appear on Seb Gorka’s show. He praised Gorka as being a great MAGA supporter of President Trump.

No one is praising QAnon in the Trump WH. Also days ago, I heard Sean Spicer, the former WH spokesman was asked about QAnon.

Do I need to tell you his answer about ‘Q’? It was resounding in the negative!

Hey, don’t trust all this major evidence. Trust the anonymous hoaxers on friggin 8chan. LOL!

[higgmeister]

That and the seven figures being brought down may interest the Feds.

Can you explain that statement? Seven figures brought down from where to who? It seems that "Q" being anonymous could never solicit from or to anyone.

[romanesq]

“Seven figures brought down from where to who? It seems that “Q” being anonymous could never solicit from or to anyone.”

Sure, you can go on YouTube and websites like Gaytriot Shitbox where they spend all their time doing “decoding” about QAnon.

As it turns out, there’s been multiple people who do these “shows” who are known/busted for posting as QAnon on 8chan.

They then decode their own Q posts and provide accounts like Paypal, etc. where people give them money.

People are looking into it and the monies collected are way into seven figures. Some people got out early like this Tracy woman and she definitely knows the people that are involved among the group on 8chan.

Others like preying insect are full on “in” with this QAnon grift. He actually constructed a tax shelter claiming his “ministry” involves decoding QAnon.

What the Feds may say about all that, we’ll have to wait and see. QAnon grifting is big money. Yesterday on YouTube, one of the alleged creators, James Brower, did a YouTube live where documentation among these people showed how they were constructing the entire thing targeting the Baby Boomers.

It’s been a successful scam. But it’s on the way out now.

[BiggBob]

This here is noise

I listen to what Trump says

Not what the msm tells me Trump said.

It's funny some people complain nothing is happening which it obviously is happening As I pointed out with the links in post 63 for example Nunes making criminal referrals, rep Collins releasing declassifed house testimonies of the conspirators about every other day, Barr and Horowitz confirming there are ongoing investigations of fisa abuse, Comey onstruction, fbi leaks and others.

Then you have the people that think it hasn't happened fast enough, which Trump confirmed himself that he had to wait to go on offense till after the Mueller report to avoid being charged by Democrats with obstruction

And then there is the group that believe nothing will happen cause we all know Clinton is guilty and they got away with it before

And that is why the house had to be cleaned first

That is why there have been over two dozen hacks removed from the doj and fbi brass As if the same people that let Hillary go before would charge her now

So every day that goes by there is more and more evidence something is happening and every day the clowns and shills get louder and more desperate to convince people that there isn't

[higgmeister]

Remember when they tried to say Dr. Gorka was Q? Instead, he’s come back and blasted it as FAKE.

romanesq, I am so willing to listen to you but your wild tangents are difficult to decipher. Did "Q" ever claim he was Dr. Gorka? I don't think he did. Why to you blast "Q" for some fool's wild conjecture?

Come to think of it. Why do you get your feathers ruffled just because of something that you clearly don't understand and that obviously does not affect you in the least. Your carping wears thin to an outside observer.

[mac_truck]

You’re talking about Bill Mitchell and Your Voice America?

Besides being a big dope, that guy is one twisted sister!

[thoughtomator]

I’ve been waiting for Her to go to jail or be hanged for a quarter century now.

She’s gotten away with it all, and but for the grace of God she’s be President right now.

After 25 years of waiting for justice to arrive at her door, how much hope would you have of ever hearing it knock? Barely preventing her from plunging the world into hell is not a victory, it’s just a stalemate.

I understand it takes time to clean house, but it’s been two years now and accountability is nigh. Mueller is over, there are no more excuses to stay the hand of justice.

[romanesq]

Your assumption I don’t understand is frankly silly. I understand it all too well.

People were talking about who could be Q in the Trump White House. If you didn’t hear Seb Gorka’s name mentioned that’s fine. I and others sure did.

[romanesq]

Quite the cuck I hear.

[genesismt]

Bottom line, you have not provided one piece of “major evidence”. You are quoting 2 ex Trump employees who you nor I know the circumstances of their unemployment with the Trump administration.

As for Trump not calling out Q as a hoax due to it being below his pay grade...that is an Obama answer. Pres. Trump has no problem laying out the truth.

As for DT Jr, I have no explanation. I could speculate on a couple reasons but it would be purely speculation, like you are doing.

[romanesq]

Oh, I’ve provided major evidence in addition to Seb Gorka today. Why do you think President Trump has to bother with an internet hoax? It’s clear the people closest to him have weighed in. Add Sean Spicer to that list in recent days.

Not good enough for you? Ok.
POTUS/DJT. Jr./Seb Gorka/Sean Spicer vs. the QAnon grifters.

Decide.

Some folks are confused by all of it. That’s ok. Take your time and look at all of the evidence highlighted. It will take some time. Take your time.

[BiggBob]

My favorite evidence he posted was when he actually proved a Q drop

And then tried for two hours to claim he didn’t
