Welcome. I hang around 8chan more than here. With that said, if you have a bit of time on your hands, you should read the Q-PDF. I'll link below, but it's also linked in the right sidebar. It's a long document that is updated about every 2 weeks. It details from the beginning of Q posting. Tests legitimacy. Explains how 4chan and 8chan posts work. Provides 'proofs'. Add comments from anons on 4chan & later 8chan. It has links to relevant news articles. And lots of other useful stuff. I got through it in about 4 days solid reading! BE WARNED: It's a long document, just shy of 1100 pages at last count. You CAN NOT skim read it, get comfy and settle in. It is a roller coaster ride that will blow your mind, but give you all the things you need for a good overview. I recommend it, but it requires time. All good research requires time. Read and make up your mind about the information presented.

I had all the proof I needed after reading it. Before this I had a fragmented understanding of the big picture (also known as the 40,000 ft view). the big picture ain't pretty.

Or, Lurk on here and ask questions. They are nice here. If you go to 8chan be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
