What if I told you that the three branches of the US government we were taught in school were a lie? That actual power is held by a secretive deep state that maintained its power regardless of election results and the shifting of political winds?

What if I told you that untold numbers of children were being trafficked under the auspices of an international cabal of Satan worshiping elites? And among their number was every mainstream politician and celebrity you've ever heard of? And that these members were so brazen as to constantly signal their allegiance in public using coded messaging?

And what if I told you that Donald Trump was the lone righteous man in Gomorrah?

That's right fellow Patriots, its time to discuss #QAnon.

So, what the hell is #QAnon?

It's the online Right's newest obsession, and a convenient way to explain away the fact that, despite their party controlling all 3 branches of the government and their dream president being in power, their political rivals still exist and the world hasn't been transformed the way they expected. It is also, in many ways, the continuation of the PizzaGate phenomenon.

Basically, late last year 4chan started receiving cryptic messages from a person calling themselves Q, a reference to Q level security clearance. Supposedly these messages originated from a high level insider of the Trump admin and offered clues to an upcoming purge of the Deep State. Said purge is often referred to as "The Storm" - a reference to Trump's line about "the calm before the storm" made in a speech. You can take a look at some of these posts yourself and see if you can decipher anything from them. These clues are referred to as breadcrumbs a lot of places online, but I refer to think of them as Q Tips.

I recommend reading this excellent article: http://nymag.com/selectall/2017/12/qanon-4chan-the-storm-conspiracy-explained.html It explains things much better than I ever could.

And this article (written by a Rothschild :tinfoil: no less), details QAnon's relationship with older crazy online conspiracy theories, specifically the cult of NESARA: https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/qanon-the-storm/

More than a few goons have requested a thread on this subject be made and quite frankly I'm just as curious as them to learn more about this stuff.

Okay, so what are some of the key claims of this Q person?

One of the problems I had trying to sort this out is that Q posts are deliberately vague and are subject to different interpretations by Q whisperers. Also there's loving hundreds of them and I ain't got time for that. But here are some things I've seen posted on 4chan, Twitter and Freep:

- There are thousands of sealed indictments working their way through the DC Courts system. The Inspector General is conducting an investigation into the Deep State and its pedophile masters. When it is released, Hillary, Obama, most Democrats, all the Hollyweird jerks, George Soros and basically anyone else the alt right doesn't like is going to be arrested and sent to Guantanamo Bay, which is being retrofitted to fit a large increase of prisoners.
- Trump tricked the Deep State into appointing Mueller to investigate the fake Russian scandal, giving Mueller (who is a secret Trump ally) cover to aid the REAL investigation into the Deep State.
- The Deep State is in deep panic mode and has been retaliating every way it can. Multiple false flag attacks, including Parkland and the Austin Bombing have been carried out as part of their secret war. Vegas was an op gone wrong(?).
- DNC Staffer Seth Rich leaked Hillary's e-mails to Wikileaks and was murdered on the order of John Podesta.
- The Saudi crown prince is a secret Trump ally, locking up his corrupt globalist family members and introducing reforms designed to move the nation away from Islam.
- Anthony Weiner's laptop, which was investigated by the FBI, contained a secret video of HRC doing something so vile it made veteran agents sick. The implication is that it was kiddy gore stuff.

And that's just off the top of my head. This poo poo is insane. It's best to think of this as basically being an entire counter mythology of American politics. And like in mythology, the prophecies of the seer are obscured and everyone has their own, slightly incongruous version of the folklore, one that freely intermingles with whatever other legends they already believe in. For those of you who buy into Prester Jane's theories, this should all seem pretty familiar.

But why should I care? Isn't this just another weird 4chan thing?

Because weird /pol/ poo poo is upriver from mainstream conservatism in the age of Trump. #QAnon Conspiracy resonates with the right because it both soothes the lingering doubts they have about Trump's inability to accomplish anything and echos the Manichaean worldview they believe in. Again, to put it into Narrativist Theory terms, it is a collective play acting of the Inner Narrative, making it feel real. Just search #QAnon, #GreatAwakening, #TrustThePlan, or any of their other hashtags and you can see the alternate reality being crafted in real time. And known CHUD and TV Weird Sean Hannity is a known believer in this nonsense, and I'm willing to bet some of the nuttier GOP politicians do too. But mostly this is another avenue to explore the American right's creeping madness, which is honestly a D&D Goon's favorite reading material.

For some reason they think ideology is genetically inherited. Merkel is Hitler's spawn is thus is a totalitarian globalist (I know, I know), Obama is Frank Marshall's secret kid and is a radical communist, etc.

Well they won't believe it because its just the Deep State blathering on about "muh Russia". If you're referring to the fact that Q originally sold Mueller as being on Trump's side, well, they've already switched gears and are now focused on the IG report being the "real" investigation that will redpill the normies or whatever. If that disappoints and the Democrats win back the House then I wouldn't be surprised if Q has trouble keeping the game up. That might be the moment of real narrative collapse, to use PJ's terminology.

Of all of the stupid things about QAnon, the "Q" clearance thing has bothered me the most because it's not even a DOD clearance. I'd never even heard of DOE clearance before until this dumb poo poo.

Its completely possible Q is actually an unimportant, but insane, DoE person who overestimates their own importance. Maybe its Rick Perry.

Well, JFK Jr first popped up as a victim of Hillary's ambition. If he hadn't died he would have been her biggest challenger for New York's Senate seat.

Honestly, the son of the slain president - the last great statesman who paid the price for taking on the Deep State - faking his own death as part of a 20 year gambit to bring justice to the Cabal.... it's kind of an awesome plot. Nonsense, of course, but hot drat sometimes I wished I lived in their world.
