Qanon

                “QAnon is a far-right conspiracy and movement centered on false claims made by an anonymous individual or individuals, known by the name "Q", that a cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles operate a global child sex trafficking ring that conspired against former president Donald Trump during his term in office. QAnon has been described as a cult with roots in antisemitism and Nazism.” said by the Wikipedia Page. A belief shared by most QAnon members is that Trump was planning a sting operation to arrest all the Satanists and pedophiles.

Qanon is not the first of its kind on the internet, Pizzagate a conspiracy that claim the same thing that Qanon claims but it was debunked after it became viral in 2016 during the election. Qanon was started in October of 2017on 4chan when a user with the name “Q” they claimed to be a high-ranking government official with Q clearance. Qanon entered mainstream media when many members attended a midterm election in 2018 in Tampa, Florida. Their clearance allowed them have access to classified things about the Trump administration.  An analysis claims that the account “Q” has posts written by two or more people at different times. Qanon has several anonymous 4chan accounts, for example FBIanon, HLI (high level insider) anon, CIAanon, and WH Insider Anon.

This movement has spread to the UK, France, Germany and Japan, and is growing faster in Germany and Japan (Qanon is known as Janon in Japan) this concerns me because these countries were allies during WW2. In July 2020, Twitter banned thousands of Qanon supporters after they used the hashtag “take the oath” after Q said to take a soldier’s oath online on 8chan. They also had many supporters in the Capitol on January 6th in which they played a big role in the insurrection. On the 2nd of November 2021 they gathered near Dealey Plaza, where JFK was shot, expecting JFK Jr. to say he was going to be Trump’s running mate in 2024 but JFK Jr. died in 1999 in a plane crash. After he didn’t show up for obvious reasons, they later said that he was disguised as Keith Richards, the guitarist of The Rolling Stones.

  • In my opinion, i think that everything they said is crazy. They are just wanting attention by spreading fake news all around the world. 

  • My opinion of Qanon is they are crazy and would never trust anything that they have to say. I do not agree with anything Qanon has said. I feel like groups like this need to be shut down because all they are doing is spreading negative news that some may believe. 

    • I agree completly if people like this keep turning up then we are in a lot of trouble.

  • This is obsurd and if you believe in it you're crazy and I dont trust these people. 

  • I don't believe ANYTHING these people say. Why would JFK's son disguise as the guitarist of the rolling stones? He's dead, that theory is so far fetched. These people can be very dangerous, you've seen videos of the January 6th attack. These people need to be taken down and imprisoned, who knows, they could plan some big terrorist attack and harm people.

  • I do not think that this is a good group to have in the modern day the fact that someone can post a random probably joke post and start a cult is not a great thing and thae fact that this could turn into a world wide issue is scary and by the first statment that I made you can probably assume that I do not belive a thing that these people are saying and the fact that this ould have started as a joke is sad I hope that this ends and we as humans can move on to bigger better things

    • I agree because this is the type of thing we don't need the politics right now since both sides are at eachother's throat.

  • I think that QAnon are just a bunch of people that don't have anything better to do than to bother the good person of the United States. I think that it should be stopped because all they have don't is make people look bad. If there is proof or not it just isn't right.

    • I agree all of their claims are baseless accusations.

  • I don't agree with anything about Qanon's beliefs and everyone of the claims is weird and it's all a bunch of conspiracy stuff.
