According to Travis View, who has studied the QAnon phenomenon and written about it extensively for The Washington Post , the essence of the conspiracy theory is that
there is a worldwide cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles who rule the world, essentially, and they control everything. They control politicians, and they control the media. They control Hollywood, and they cover up their existence, essentially. And they would have continued ruling the world, were it not for the election of President Donald Trump, [16]

President Donald Trump retweeted a video message on Friday morning with a hashtag referencing a pro-Trump conspiracy theory known as QAnon.
The tweet, from the anonymous account @Rad123, included a video of a woman praising Trump's approach to urban poverty and included the hashtag #WWG1WGA, which stands for the QAnon slogan "Where we go one, we go all." The video originated from another pro-Trump account, @Emmy.
The QAnon theory centers on an anonymous online individual known as Q, who claims to be a government official with information about a covert plot to overthrow Trump. Followers of the conspiracy believe that, among other things, the world is run by a satanic cabal of elites and pedophiles led by Hillary Clinton and the so-called deep state, who Trump — with help from secret allies, including Robert Mueller — will eventually expose and defeat.
Earlier this year, the FBI designated QAnon a possible domestic terrorism threat. A handful of right-wing, pro-Trump celebrities, including the actress Roseanne Barr and former professional baseball player Curt Schilling, have expressed support for the conspiracy and its followers.
Q has attributed the "Where we go one, we go all" slogan to President John F. Kennedy, but it seems to have been taken from the 1996 movie "White Squall," The Daily Beast reported .
Trump has previously promoted dozens of QAnon conspiracy accounts and followers. According to a New York Times investigation published in November, Trump has retweeted at least 145 unverified accounts that have promoted conspiracy theories. Over two dozen of these accounts were later suspended by Twitter for violating the platform's rules.
The Times found that QAnon promoters frequently make their way into the president's Twitter feed through his son, Donald Trump Jr., Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, and the right-wing pundit Eric Bolling. And more than 20,000 of Trump's Twitter followers have QAnon slogans or references in their profiles.
In July, the Trump campaign released a video ad that featured multiple Trump fans with QAnon signs. And QAnon followers have shown up to Trump's campaign rallies holding signs showing their support for both the president and the conspiracy.
"Where we go one crazy, we go all crazy."
Fixed the slogan.
the so-called deep state who Trump will eventually expose and defeat.
Like he did with ISIS?

More conspiracies, lol.
Im sure no one knows what the hell you are talking about.
The president of the United States is OPENLY repeating debunked conspiracy theories. He is mentally and psychologically unstable. Does anyone on NT care?
at least you're honest
im sure of that... "most people are kind of dumb. this also expalins why hillary won the popular vote but not the EC
nothing has been debunked... unless "debunked" just means denied by the lamestream media.
just curious. how hard do you think it would be to get a picture looking from inside marine one looking out the door as trump is walking away from the helicopter? exactly how many people have that kind of access?
whoever or whatever Q is, they have access to the president. period.
me personally... everything Q says is old news.
I've been watching the shit show since nafta was passed.
It's not "news". It's pure, unadulterated bullshit with exactly ZERO evidence to support any of their claims. All they have are innuendo, conjecture and cobbled together fantasy mixed with disparate half truths. Anyone with even a smidgen of self respect and education can see their conspiracy theories are akin to the fake moon landing and airplane contrail conspiracies.
Basically you're saying "Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, alien abductions and everything Q says is old news...". Do you believe everything you read in the National Enquirer? What do conspiring minds really want to know?
yepp... heard those exact words jan 2017 when I said obamas admin spied on trump.
as in all things. time is my friend
I just love the fresh scent of communist style censorship in the morning...
speak your mind? what a fukin joke
And all trump supporters lap this shit up and ask for seconds....sickening
We are living in sorrowful times.
