Just read up on Qanon and all this other crap.

These people are nuts.

Let's say that Mueller and all this stuff wraps up and there are zero indictments associated with what they believe is the vast pedo conspiracy. How will the conspiracy pushers explain all that away? What added layer of complexity will they fabricate to keep it going?

That was quite the rabbit hole.

This is the first time I've ever heard of this. I googled it and it looks like this originated in a post to an anonymous message board?

Not sure how "real" this is, but if there's more people talking about the people talking about it than there are people talking about it - my BS meter gets pegged.

Story sounds like complete bullshit:
On October 28, someone calling themselves Q began posting a series of cryptic messages in a /pol/ thread titled “Calm Before the Storm” (assumedly in reference to that creepy Trump quote from early October). Q claimed to be a high-level government insider with Q clearance (hence the name) tasked with posting intel drops — which he, for some reason, called “crumbs” — straight to 4chan in order to covertly inform the public about POTUS’s master plan to stage a countercoup against members of the deep state. It was, in short, absolutely insane. However, thanks to some rather forced coincidences — like Q kind of, sort of guessing that Trump would tweet the word “small” on Small Business Saturday, and this one time the internet decided that Q was “totally on Air Force One” because he posted a blurry picture of some islands while Trump was on his trip to Asia — and a whole heck of a lot of wishful thinking, people believed he was the real deal.

I have never heard a thing about this until you posted it. I assume you read about it in NY Mag - which I doubt is going to report on it in a fair & accurate way. More likely they will just mock it and use it to smear anyone on the right - just like they did with pizza gate. But just like pizza gate, I'll bet more lefties knew about it than people on the right.

But if NY Mag is going to report on something, and they were actual journalists, they would spend time doing real investigations to what its about, what the claims are, and why the claims exist. Instead they just write leftist click bait crap like "The Storm is the new Pizzagate." And libs lap it up.

Okay, did you read up on it? I'd guess no.

I had never heard of it. The NY Mag comes up first on google. TLDR; plus, it was hard to get past their strong bias & mockery, which leads me (the reader) to think there is likely to be some truth to what they mock.

The third or fourth link was to Alex Jones. Glanced at it. Appears people are impressed with Q because he quoted trump’s generic pro military tweet before trump tweeted it. Meh. I need more than that.

As to the general theme that Obama worked with the CIA to undermine Trump and promote Hillary!? What is hard to believe about that? Seriously. Obama and Clinton are both magnitudes dirtier than Nixon ever was, and he was infamous for being dirty.

Key ingredient to all this is a compliant media.

Conspiracy? Sure ..it sounds nutty. But what are communism and socialism really, if not conspiracy set into practice? These people long for a Che existence. Conspiracy is okay if it is their own.

Trump Fans Are Suckers and QAnon Is Perfect for Them
No, Trump fans, the storm isn't coming. There is no Great Awakening. "Where we go one we go all" is a path to disappointment and madness, not to some brave new future where Donald Trump's genius and his army of secret soldiers purge America of a vast, secret deep state of hostile insiders and pedophiles.

I love how hoof and the MSM are using this group as a straw man to discredit the idea that there are a bunch of self serving pols, bureaucrats and special interests that fear an outsider and throw the pedo thing in to make anyone who believes in the deep state a wacky conspiracy theorist. Same thing they did with the Tea Party.... Aligned them with a small fringe element of racists to discredit a movement that terrified them.

Didn’t trump just tweet out today that his campaign did reach out to Russians and did meet with them in the hopes of getting dirt on Hilary?
