What is The Storm? Conspiracy theory that mysterious White House official QAnon is leaking secrets

"You guys know what this represents? Maybe it's the calm before the storm," President Donald Trump told reporters ominously as he posed with military commanders and their spouses in October 2017.

Since then "The Storm", partly in reference to this moment, has taken on life as a conspiracy theory wrapped up in conspiracy theories on pro-Trump message boards on online forums.

The Storm boils down to the idea that the US president is working to wipe out the effects of globalisation, a concept much hated by his supporters. To achieve this, he will apparently dismantle the 'deep state'.

This widely discredited conspiracy theory suggests that the US government is secretly run by a cabal of officials and elite members of finance and industry in a way that negates democracy.

The term has also been used to describe the leadership in Turkey and Russia. On top of this, every move Trump makes is a victory for The Storm - regardless of how it appears or is reported.

How do they know this? Because they are tipped off by a user known as QAnonymous, or QAnon, whose name references Q: the highest level of security clearance in the US.

They believe that this Q figure, who first posted on 4Chan on 28 October, has taken to message boards like 4Chan and 8Chan - widely regarded as the Wild West of the internet - to share the top-secret goings on in the highest reaches of power.

The topics discussed include Pizzagate. This saw websites falsely spreading [yeah, right] the rumour that the Democractic Party was running a child trafficking ring in the basement of the Comet Ping Pong fast food restaurant in Washington DC - culminating in a gunman opening fire there in November 2016.

It’s not unconstitutional if it’s a direct order from the president as part of his sacred duty to protect America. And this country is far safer with the elite satanic communist pedophiles out and in a secure location.

These are not “criminals.” They are enemy combatants in a war intended to destroy our Christian Republic and replace it with pure evil.

Do you think for a minute that Hillary Clinton, George Soros, John Podesta, Barry Soetoro, Rosie O’Donnell and the rest aren’t allied with the muzzy terrorists? Of course they are! The pedophile rings these people control represent yet another
clear and present danger.

GITMO is the only place for them. I don’t care if we have to stack ‘em 10 deep! No lawyers. No adrenochrome. No access to their money. Just let them make a statement before the military tribunals.

You have to relax a little.

Maybe go polish your jack boots.
