Who is Q? What is Q? And, perhaps most importantly, why is Q? Q and the ever-growing worldwide movement it’s inspired have been the objects of fascination, mockery and hatred, but of surprisingly little serious analysis.
Q first appeared in October 2017 on an anonymous online forum called 4Chan, posting messages that implied top-clearance knowledge of upcoming events. More than 3,000 messages later, Q has created a disturbing, multi-faceted portrait of a global crime syndicate that operates with impunity. Q’s followers in the QAnon community faithfully analyze every detail of Q’s drops, which are compiled here and here.

I first became aware of Q when I was watching a Trump rally and someone held up a sign with nothing but a huge Q on it, nothing else. That peaked my curiosity but it was forgotten in the pace of daily life until I happened upon a video on You Tube. It is mentioned in the article. Well, I was fascinated and could only hope that what was being said was true and that there were men and women of integrity and resolve who were attempting to expose the corruption that is rampant in government, media, academia, and entertainment. I was floored because it made complete sense and I felt someone finally was putting all the pieces together.
As I have followed Q and watched events unfold, my hope has increased in that indeed there was something to it. Surely, there is some force inside that is diligently working to reveal and expose everything that has been going on behind the scenes. Whether it is just wishful thinking or not, it does give me comfort to know that I cannot just dismiss what is going on. I have never seen anything like what is happening today. It really is extraordinary. The country and the world deserves better than what we have been experiencing. A corrupt government that stands justice on its head, the ruling class desperately pitting us against each other, forced acceptance of junk science which will bankrupt us and forced moral depravity will be our downfall if it is not stopped. Whether this is just a trick of progressives to paint us all as cult followers or whether it is a legitimate movement to expose evil doers who are destroying us, I do not know. It is an intriguing concept that, if true, has the power to right some awfully powerful wrongs.

l've been following Qanon for about 2 years now. This is a pretty good article and not the misleading information you usually see from the Main Stream Media. The citizen journalists who have taken over the job of getting real information out to the public are modern day heroes. I suggest Praying Medic on You Tube for an introductory course in the story of the Q movement, If you've suspected something strange has been going on in the world for the last 30 years, you might want to take the Red Pill and follow us down the rabbit hole!

Article leaves many things out. Q followers believe JFK jr is alive and is behind Trump at his rallies in disguise. HW Bush and McCain were suicided because of their involvement w/ the cabal. The Bushes are secret NAZI's. That's just the tip. Believe what you want but, I am very skeptical of the whole thing.

#6, I understand your concern. However, keep in mind, hackers have the ability to hack into accounts and post things to discredit a source. Just saying.

I follow Q and have for a couple years. He is currently on 8chan but I haven't been able to get in for a while. My VPN and security software keeps popping up certificate errors. There are also several sites that repost his stuff. He was on 4chan but "someone" had 4chan destroyed over it. Havent seen a new drop since the 29th of Dec, but Q is often quiet when national security stuff is happening.
He appears to be a white house insider and there is evidence to that effect. I've heard everything from the president himself to Baron Trump. Lots of speculation out there, but the one thing it does do is give hope to a people so beaten down by government corruption and up to now no chance for justice. Q is real and good.

I don't normally follow what I would call weird stuff, but Q actually has a better track record than Infowars and Alex Jones does. Q is an interesting predictor in politics, and I would not discount their stuff. Not in this day and age with our democrat death cult running amok. No media should be taken as absolute, especially liberal. But it doesn't hurt to view Q as a place to pick up little nuggets of truth among the leg pulling.

Note that the other day Paul Krugman suggested Q may have hacked his computer with child porn.
Knowing who is out to discredit Q can be a lesson in itself.

Short read to break down it's following. Reading Sundance @ Conservative Treehouse provides with credible info in digestible doses. Q posts run nearly as cryptic as '' Who is John Galt?''

Q said the opposite.
Many "Q followers" can be mistaken, which does not reflect on Q.
(Like many "Lucianne readers" can be mistaken, which does not reflect on Lucianne.)
Q is not easy reading, but there is incredible truth and insight there.
The categories on the left side of the site given above, have incredible information as well.
Players and sealed indictments are my favorites.

I have only recently become aware of Q. Following links from this article and internet searches of a few of its references (things which the article did not link to because they get too strange if you follow them) led me to the conclusion that Q is a knowledgeable source. The only thing I cannot determine is if Q is also a bit of a nut, someone who intentionally encourages crazy people to run down crazy rabbit holes by releasing information cryptically, or someone who releases information cryptically for self-protection (which results in crazy people taking it to extremes).
That being said, the Epstein situation makes some of the crazy stuff they hypothesize seem no so crazy.

For people like myself . Q is a Spectator Sport. I spend a lot of time researching sources and verifying whether something is a lie or not. My take is that there are a lot of Folks that want to believe there is a Posse of White Hats out there coming to save them. And there is a secret group of Patriots within this Government that are coming to their rescue as we speak. But the grim reality is too dark for most to consume. Listening to the FOLLOWERS talk to each other reminds me of the Ron Paul crowd . Or the Birther Movement of which I am an avid member. I dread the day when it all comes to the surface and we all realize that nothing will be done about any of this . BY ANYBODY. And on that day the second American Revolution will begin in earnest.

Some need gurus. Prophets - false or otherwise. The seers of old. Crystal balls. Ouija boards. Tea leaves. Something! They want to see the last page of the book. Or at least get a lot of hints as to what it might be. The latest is Q.
No thanks.

Why is it easier to believe in Satan as a real albeit spiritual being at odds with God and Heaven than it is to believe he has legions of men in his service?

Wow-that reads like some epic book series outline. I have no doubt many of these things are true. I guess in the end I go back to the only thing that keeps sane me in these times, faith in God and prayer.

I started off 110% sure that Q was a massive troll job by someone who wanted to pretend to be important.
Now I am 51% sure Q is a massive troll job, but 110% sure that that it is either: (1) real or (2) a con that stumbled onto something in its efforts to appear credible and accidentally hit/is hitting targets by throwing darts into a cesspool.
Epstein is just the tip of the iceberg. The Elites are truly disgusting people, probably with a heavy pedophile tinge to them. They really have manipulated events and public opinion, even wars.
And there is something cult-based going on with a lot of them.

Kids, Q was involved in copying the fake dossier in October, 2017 and putting it up on 4chan. 4chan worked hard to prove every.single. thing. in the dossier was false and made up AND first to reveal it was bought for by the Hillary campaign in November, 2016. ZeroHedge was the first to publish the full dossier in January, 2017 BEFORE the inauguration. Levin used much of what was discovered by Q and 4chan to prove the existence of the coup and all its players inn March, 2017. Aliens landing in someone's backyard, Elvis working in a grocery store in Wisconsin notwithstanding, Q DOES have some creds, yet has been given ZERO credit, so there's that. Where I would give ZERO credibility are all those Republican Representatives on the House intel committee who lamented in February, 2018 that they were waiting to get a copy of the Steele dossier, so there was no way to really know what was in it. Uh-huh, right; a YEAR after Levin laid out all the evidence with the dossier and other documents. Q might be a ghost goofball, but he ain't the problem. Anyone know what IS the problem? Anybody, anybody, Bueller, Bueller?

Like the author, I was lurking on 4ch when Q started posting anonymously. Somehow the posts were immediately noteworthy, standing out from the ocean of noise. Those of you who have dared to visit 4ch pol know what a crazy, brutal, no holds barred place it is. But I knew POTUS had used it during the campaign to great positive effect (there is graphic proof that he visited), so I lurked and hoped to see some inside info...
Then an anonymous person started posting very interesting, challenging questions... And pol paid attention... So did the bad guys, soon filling the forum with incredible amounts of junk, from both sophisticated bots and paid armies of human shills. It was incredible to watch. Why did a group of people out there care so much about someone posting lists of probing questions that they would spend so much money to attack and try to drown out this small voice on a tiny forum in the farthest darkest regions of the internet?
2+ years later, the answer is obvious: No matter what you think of Q, there is no doubt that Q is a genius whose cryptic posts have worked hand in hand with POTUS' tweets to spark a great awakening that is well on its way to bringing down the modern deep state.
Two important Q quotes missed in the article:
"How many coincidences before mathematically impossible?" - referring to the way Q seems to see things before they happen (Trump tweets, North Korea, Epstein, Iran, and many other events in the news)
"Disinfo is necessary. Enemy at the front door." - letting us know that Q will sometimes post disinfo to throw off the bad guys.

Insider, or playwright?
What is the evidence that gives the author credibility?
Note: The Nostradamus Effect is about the readers, not the author.
And, be weary of a false flag operation. What concrete example is there of "Q" actually accomplishing making the world more "just"? What has been accomplished thanks to them?

The only Q I remember was the one on Star Trek.
Never read any of his stuff, but it sounds like tin foil. I barely follow the news, and I don't follow any tin foil hat conspiracy sites. I don't want to spend my time on it.

If I were posting genuine & important stuff I would throw in a lot of BS (man who invented a car that runs on water executed). Easy for intelligent readers to see between the lines and less likely I'd be hacked or shut down.

I try to tamp down my conspiracy theorist tendencies, but this will make it a lot harder. How well I remember stories of Obama's pre-Inaugural and the dimly lit chanting going on. Am I the only one who remembers he took the ''oath'' twice? How well I remember the deaths of Seth Rich. Brietbart. Ron Brown. I don't dare peel this onion back farther.

Supposedly, the human brain is bombarded with something like 11 million bits of information per second. But it can only process 50 of those bits.

Paul Revere's Ride is remembered by Americans not because he was so observant and bold in issuing a warning that "the Redcoats were coming" but because there were Minute Men standing ready to take up arms in the cause of freedom and liberty. I mention Revere because it begs the question for conservative, patriotic Americans who follow and encourage others to heed the warnings of Q, and to a certain extent, Sundance at CTH and a few media types that haven't gone "full Commie:"
Without action, what good are a series of warnings, however on point they may be, that connect the dots of incipient tyranny without some tangible form of demonstrative public action against those seeking to destroy the fabric and foundation of our nearly 250 yer old Republic? Our votes in last presidential election will soon hang in the balance with the outcome to be determined by many of those exposed by Q and/or Sundance as being the key players in an on-going coup against the president for whom many of us voted? There doesn't appear to be a "Plan B" for curbing the very Deep State, including a leftist media, formerly known as "the Press," that seeks our total disenfranchisement and worse.

Q is a fictional character as well as the name of a race in Star Trek appearing in the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager series, as well as in related media. The most familiar Q is portrayed by John de Lancie. He is an extra-dimensional being of unknown origin who possesses immeasurable power over normal human notions of time, space, the laws of physics, and reality itself, being capable of violating or altering them in unpredictable ways with a hand gesture cue. Despite his vast knowledge and experience spanning untold eons (and much to the exasperation of the object(s) of his obsession), he is not above practical jokes for his own personal amusement, for a Machiavellian and manipulative purpose, or to prove a point.

I'm ambivalent regarding Q. I've never been good at riddles or treasure hunts. I prefer my information straight (or sometimes on the rocks). It is a comforting thought that there are a band of White Hats working secretly against the Deep State. Such asymmetrical domestic political warfare is certainly Trumpian and not outside the realm of something he would do. It is interesting. Some day we'll know whether Q was on the level or master troll. As our very stable genius President often says, "Wait and see what happens."

Whether follow the Q posts or not, it does provoke thought that there is indeed a lot of corruption going on behind the scenes, and some, but not all of it has been verified by what has come to light despite the covering up of the media.
Checking the dates of some predictions shows much that has not taken place, but it is thought provoking and amusing. There are those who sit and watch Hallmark/Lifetime movies for months at a time, or follow mindless pop culture or have unusually diverse hobbies that make them happy.
One thing is sure-- there are persons of all political views and persuasions who are CORRUPT to the CORE and want to RULE OVER the average citizen and bring about totalitarianism at the expense of freedom, liberty and responsibility, and they are "outed" in the posts attributed to the mysterious "Q" connecting the dots.....

#6 Sorry but real Q followers and Q itself doesn't believe JFK jr is alive and attending rally's. You would never find that in any Q post. You would find a Q Post that says JFK jr is not alive. You've been reading too much Shill News. And as for the traitors Bush Sr and McCain. Just read the Q post. And Bush's Sr dad did sell to the Nazi's. Along with several others. Henry Ford. If you read all of the posts (3744) and studied them, you would have a different perception.

If someone told you 5 years ago the following:
1) A former US President rides on an airplane called the “Lolita Express” to a private island where a shady convicted pedophile has underage girls and celebrities at parties;
2) The leaders of the CIA and FBI worked with foreign intelligence to create a fake dossier to spy on a presidential campaign;
3) A 777 on a routine flight in Malaysia disappeared without any radar, GPS or radio tracking;
4) An impeachment trial would be proudly invented because the president asked a foreign country to investigate the corruption of the son of a former politician;
5) A pallet of $1.5 Billion in cash would be sent to the Ayatollah based on a promise to “slow down” the building of atomic warheads;
6) Or that a major political party would choose among multiple socialist candidate to run the country;
If I told you any of these things, you would call me crazy.
So if a blogger says that the government is corrupt and we are fighting an evil that you can hardly imagine, is it that difficult to keep an open mind?
