The hacking collective Anonymous is pledging to expose the people behind the "QAnon" conspiracy theory.
The anarchist hacking group slammed the QAnon conspiracy as potentially dangerous and driven by a “brainless political agenda” in a video posted Sunday to what is widely considered the most reliable Anonymous Twitter account.
“We will not see idly by while you take advantage of the misinformed and poorly educated,” the group said in the video, which was posted with the hashtags "#OpQ" and "#OpQAnon."
The video depicts various figures with the Anonymous masks acting out certain aspects of the QAnon conspiracy over a constant backdrop of the letter “Q.”
The video claims that Anonymous “knew who was responsible for Q,” and thought it was funny at first. However, the group now believes the conspiracy theory has gone too far.
“Someone is gonna get hurt so we have to put our foot down and start some s--- with you all,” the group said in the video.
QAnon shifted into the spotlight after numerous attendees at President Trump's rally in Florida last week held Q-shaped cutouts and posters alluding to the conspiracy theory.
The wide-ranging and vague “QAnon” touches on a number of popular unproven conspiracy theories: Democrats and prominent Hollywood figures are orchestrating underground pedophile rings; special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe is a front for investigating Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for their ties to said rings; and hundreds of sealed indictments may have already been handed down in the Clinton case.
The theory was started by a person on 4chan last year claiming to be a high-ranking security official in the Trump administration. The individual or individuals goes by the identity of "Q," and has continued to fan the theory on online platforms.
A number of conservative figures have pushed back against the conspiracy theory on Twitter in recent days, including Michael Flynn Jr. and Sean Spicer.
Anonymous has been adamantly opposed to Trump since he announced his candidacy in 2015. The group declared "cyber war" on Trump in March 2016, directing its followers to take down the then-candidate's websites.

There is no single “Anonymous”. There’s right and left wingers under the umbrella.
Why did Trump and the SS let in the Q signs and Tee shirts in the Rally in Texas, then not in Pa.? Answer: Trump OKed Q and wants people to look into what q is posting.
The only way for Q and Anonymous to prove once and for all who is the best internet troll of all time, is with a good old fashioned “Dance Off” live on pay-per-view, winner take all!
I am QAnon
etc., etc.
I don’t see any usefulness in the president mentioning this at all.
It would be as useful as calling the msm fake news. He does that all the time.
Just. One. Tweet.
“Q Anon is fake news”
The Chans are Anonymous. QAnon is a phenomenon of the Chans. Anyone can claim anonymously to be Anonymous, just as anyone can claim anonymously to be part of QAnon. The whole thing is a house of smoke and mirrors. I did a deep dive back when the whole thing started getting a little notice, and backed away convinced that various intelligence agencies were playing games with one another. There was a prediction including GPS coordinates of the London Bridge terrorist attack, days before the fact. I don’t want anything to do with anything remotely like that, and still find the implications very disturbing. But, that’s why I also don’t discount what comes out of that strange, perverse little universe, while simultaneously taking it with a grain of salt. No way of knowing what you just read is anything but disinfo, a LARP or what until after the fact.
Remember: 90% of rat poison is tasty food.
Left wing fear jumps another notch. If it is really anonymous, they have no idea of what they are stepping into.
Me too. I don’t know what to think. My gut tells me we (conservatives) are being played....even though I hope to God it’s rea. July has passed and nada. I have asked some who follow Q what the “drop-dead” date is...IOW-when do you stop waiting for “trust the plan?” When do you say: “OK...put up or shut up?” I haven’t heard anything. Is it the mid-terms? September 2020? When?
There's always real cheese in the rat trap...
Ding, Ding... we have winner. Focus energy on a non-identifiable construct, created by.... whom? Should be even more maddening to these kids in mom’s basement (like the hilarious video of Anonymous’s mom bringing him supper as he spouts .... total control— in a Guy Fawkes mask... LOL). They haven’t a clue....but people like Adam Schiff are notably ... silent, as well as the rest of his WeHo fruit friends and pedos. This is a real thing— power rings of pedophiles, covered up within our media and industrial complex— just as they were in the UK about 15 years ago.
But it did not stop the relentless takeover of UK govt. by the PC correct and the islamofascists. That will take rather more serious action (in particular the obamaumao holdovers and exec dept leftovers who are running for office in some 60 districts US wide— they are desperate).
Mine as well. This is hugely entertaining, the utter confusion caused by counter propaganda. Like watching a live run of the White Russian counterrevolutionaries who almost... almost took Russia back from the Communists.
And, if they could only have access to the net— the same could be done (and may be being done) in Venezuela. That much oil has a lot of powerbrokers in the world interested.
“Hello, we are Anonymous. We send all of our communications through NSA servers. Your time is coming Q!”
As in Alex Jones’ Jack? Jones and Corsi both claim to know who Q is but haven’t been able to reveal anything. They have their own “real Q” so there’s little wonder they don’t like the competition.
Ignoring the stupid is the only way to deal with stupid.
Yea I know, Acosta still has access to the WH press room......There's always exceptions tho
Yeah, an Alex Jones acolyte. Best to avoid such people.
