To EK, here's a good start for your article:
I've been following the Q subject since it first surfaced in Sep/Oct 2017. It started out as a post on 4chan by a user calling themself "Q" who was posting "crumbs" of information regarding the deep state and the attempts to derail the Trump presidency.
It is my opinion that Q is real, most likely a team of military operatives close to the president, and the goal is to dismantle the corruption that ran rampant during the past administrations. Subjects include Uranium 1, human trafficking, drug trafficking, pay-to-play payoffs of corporations and foreign governments to various US politicians and non-profit foundations. They discuss Pizzagate and the taking down of high-level pedophile networks that are running worldwide.
It is currently discussed and disseminated on 8chan (www.8ch.net/qresearch/catalog.html). The "anons" have been creating threads (breads) 24/7 since Q first emerged. Consider the anons a human network dedicated to Q's "drops" (posts) that reveal information without violating National Security laws, but with the intent of revealing to the public the level of corruption that has been going on for decades within the US government and it's various agencies (FBI, NSA, CIA).
The reason for "Q" is that the MSM is corrupt. Google, Washington Post and the MSM operate as a voice of propaganda (see Operation Mockingbird). The "swamp" as Trump calls it, is a term for the Reps, Dems, corps, orgs that are corrupt and have been selling out US tech and assets to foreign governments for profit and agenda.
The coincidences and data have proven to me that this Q operation is real. It is my opinion that Donald Trump was selected to be the POTUS in order to be the face of this military operation that is going on behind the scenes.
The anons "bake breads" (create threads) and collect news and digs on many subjects that pertain to the corruption of what they call the deep state. To me it is an open source, crowd sourced research "team" (if you can call it that) who dig and contribute their knowledge and expertise in all fields for the cause of exposing this deep state corruption.
I have spent a lot of time on 8ch figuring out their comms and customs. I have contributed to the research and have had many posts result in what they call "Notables", which are the highlights of each thread (or bread). They keep people away that are easily offended as the culture there is to offend and upset "normies" or everyday people who aren't tuned in to the culture. The board is a pic based board and they post a lot of nudity but draw the line at child porn and violence.
I would say it is one of the most efficient research groups to ever emerge from internet culture. They use the internet much like a decentralized computer and have made some incredible discoveries and connections to events that are occurring and appear in the news or not. That's the thing, the MSM is so corrupt that it is being exposed on a daily basis is 100% propaganda (think North Korea).
Q will post something, and Trump will tweet something that proves a connection. They are actively trolling both the MSM and the corrupt politicians who have serious blood on their hands. In effect, they are exposing it to the world and it is slowly coming out to where people will have to accept that the US government has been hijacked by past administrations and have used the 3 letter agencies as tools to further the corruption.
The evidence and data is too great to ignore. It's a rabbit hole for sure but it is much like cluesforum in that it is a group dedicated to uncovering and filling in the blanks on some serious subjects that the regular public is too brainwashed to understand.
Many times I will see news days and weeks before it is covered on MSM through the forum. It is wild west with no rules but tons of shills and operatives that attempt to derail the discussions/fact finding.
I consider it to be one of the most fascinating uses of the internet and understand it to be an attempt by patriotic people to reclaim the republic from the corrupt elite. I believe Trump was asked to become POTUS in order to allow this operation to occur and that military intelligence is running the show.
This is obviously my opinion and it could all fall apart on any given day. But it hasn't yet. It is 9/11 research on adderall and acid–haha. The data collected as of date is probably the most evidence ever compiled on corruption at the highest levels.
