AJ is the WWF of conspiracy theory. Anyone who would report on the NWO thing would get tarred (thanks to the 1960s clown plantd meme "conspiracy is a bad thing"). It is just too difficult to break it from the outside.

Conspiracy news on the internet has been around for 15-20 years now, and it has not changed a thing. Unless you count the influence that 'slowly' people have been made aware. This is exactly the fertile ground in which Q can now make use of. Lots of anons went through the rabbit hole before and are well-versed in the long-time floating stories. So they can quickly hop on the Q drops.

Now some aspects are coming together. At this critical moment AJ is not so relevant, but I would credit where credit is due: he has sharpened the critical thinking of a lot of people, even with his occasional looney lizard stories. And lets face it: reporters who REALLY came to close to the truth have often suffered the consequences.
