In the previous bread, an anon pointed to this conversation on 4chan: https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/338252477
The OP reads:
Does anyone else remember when the original Q started posting? It was after the Vegas shooting, there were those extemely long threads where there was some guy saying he has Q clearance and was talking about Hillary and huma getting arrested?
I see all this shit about Qanon but nobody seems to remember the real origins, and whoever that was somebody else co-opted the idea extremely fast and turned it into whatever it is today. But whenever people bring up the history of Qanon they donโt bring this up and I want to know if Iโm crazy or if anyone else was here during that time that remembers
What exactly did go down when Q started posting? What were the reactions from the anons? Even if you were there, you probably don't recall much. Well, I compiled all of the Q posts and the anons' replies from Oct 28 to Nov 2, 2017. I did this way back in March 2019 and I've been sitting on it because I didn't know what I should really do with it. I started commenting the material but then I stopped. Still, though the material is incomplete, it is nonetheless an important part of history and I'm tired of sitting on it. I've been working on my Github account and so I have a place to post the material. Without further ado, here it is in five parts (only the first part is commented):

Warning: it's a very long read. Enjoy.
