On the 20th of January 2017, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the USA. For Republicans who had shrieked and sobbed when Obama's two landslide election victories were announced, it was the end of a nightmare. The man they called 'the uppity Negro' was gone at last.

Obama was the most highly scrutinised presidential candidate in American history. Republicans and hard leftists alike tried every trick in the book to bring him down. Even the libertarians joined in, with the help of some literate people who volunteered to read and write on their behalf.

Meanwhile, the conservative elites who control America's mainstream and alternative media subjected Obama to eight years of unrelenting attacks.

But of all the people who tried to destroy Obama, nobody worked as hard as the conspiracy theorists. Their accusations and predictions are virtually endless, so here's just a brief sample:

* Obama was born in Kenya, and therefore ineligible for the presidency
* his Hawaiian birth certificate is fake
* his real father was either Malcolm X or Frank M. Davis
* at the age of 19 he participated in a secret CIA mission to Mars
* he's a radical Muslim in league with the Muslim brotherhood
* he's an atheist
* he's a communist
* he's a socialist
* he's homosexual who married his male roommate while in college
* he's the Antichrist
* his wife Michelle is secretly a man
* he swore his presidential oath on the Koran
* he thanked Satan in his acceptance speech
* he's going to cancel the 2014 mid-term elections
* he's going to cancel the 2016 election
* he's going to install himself as dictator for life
* he's going to nuke the entire USA
* he's going to flood the USA with Muslim immigrants
* he's going to turn the USA into a socialist dictatorship
* he's going to take away everyone's guns
* he's going to take over Texas and impose martial law
* he threatened to kill Chelsea Clinton
* he expelled 200 military officers from the US Armed Forces because they didn't agree with his views
* he murdered his grandmother, Andrew Breitbart, and [insert long list of people here]
* he introduced Ebola to purge the US population

By the time Obama finally left office in a calm and orderly fashion, the conspiracy theorists had been comprehensively debunked and humiliated many times over. The lunatics on the fringe of the fringe were struggling to retain credibility even among their own highly rarefied circles.

The election of Donald Trump gave them new hope. In multiple campaign speeches he swore to 'drain the swamp', build a 30 foot wall of concrete and steel (funded exclusively by Mexico) and lock up Hillary Clinton. Republicans eagerly awaited the fulfilment of these sacred vows.

But Trump's first year was a miserable failure. As September gave way to October, Trump supporters began to realise their messiah had abandoned them. The swamp was not drained, the wall was not built, and Hillary was walking free with a giant grin on her face.

Then, in October 2017, the following exchange occurred at a routine press-op:

Trump [surrounded by military leaders]: 'You guys know what this represents, maybe it's the calm before the storm.'
Reporter: 'What's the storm?'
Trump: 'It could be, the calm, the calm before the storm.'
Reporter: 'Iran? ISIS? What storm, Mr President?'
Trump: 'We have the world's greatest military people in this room, I will tell you that, and, uh, we're gonna have a great evening, thank you all for coming.'
Reporter: 'What storm, Mr President?'
Trump: 'You'll find out.'
Reporter: 'Give us a hint? On ISIS?'
Trump: 'Thank you everybody.''​

Every sensible person on the planet recognised this for what it was: a random, throw-away comment from a confused old man with early onset dementia, who still didn't know how to handle the routine business of fronting up to the White House press corps.

But conspiracy theorists were electrified, and became convinced that Trump was speaking directly to them.

Then, on the 29th of October 2017, an anonymous user posted the following messages on 4chan's /pol/ forum:

HRC extradition already in motion effective yesterday with several countries in case of cross border run.
Passport approved to be flagged effective 10/30 @ 12:01am.
Expect massive riots organized in defiance and others fleeing the US to occur.
US M’s will conduct the operation while NG activated.
Proof check: Locate a NG member and ask if activated for duty 10/30 across most major cities.

HRC detained, not arrested (yet).
Where is Huma? Follow Huma.
This has nothing to do w/ Russia (yet).
Why does Potus surround himself w/ generals?
What is military intelligence?
Why go around the 3 letter agencies?
What Supreme Court case allows for the use of MI v Congressional assembled and approved agencies?
Who has ultimate authority over our branches of military wo approval conditions unless 90+ in wartime conditions?
What is the military code?
Where is AW being held? Why?
POTUS will not go on tv to address nation.
POTUS must isolate himself to prevent negative optics.
POTUS knew removing criminal rogue elements as a first step was essential to free and pass legislation.
Who has access to everything classified?
Do you believe HRC, Soros, Obama etc have more power than Trump? Fantasy.
Whoever controls the office of the Presidecy controls this great land.
They never believed for a moment they (Democrats and Republicans) would lose control.
This is not a R v D battle.
Why did Soros donate all his money recently?
Why would he place all his funds in a RC?

God bless fellow Patriots.​

Thus was born the QANON conspiracy, first called 'the Storm', and later 'the Great Awakening.'

So let's unpack what was supposed to have happened on the 29th:

* Hillary Clinton extradited, and her passport flagged
* massive riots in response, with many people fleeing the US
* Marines conducting 'the operation', supported by the National Guard

Perceptive readers will be aware that the 29th of October 2017 passed without incident. But this didn't stop the anonymous poster:

Open your eyes.
It finally came out that Rod/Bob were key players in the Uranium scandal.
Don’t you think POTUS would be tweeting about removal given clear conflict.
Why did POTUS meet Bob under the cover of FBI Dir interview?
Bob is unable to serve as Dir per the law.
Gowdy comments on Comey (history will ....)
POTUS has everything.
Not everyone is corrupt (fewer than you think).
Follow Huma.
Operation Mockingbird.
Priority to clean out the bad actors to unite people behind the America First agenda.
Many in our govt worship Satan.
Not about Republicans v Democrats at this stage.
Where is HRC?
Why is the NG called up across 12 cities?
Trust in your President.
God bless, Patriots.

Some of us come here to drop crumbs, just crumbs.
POTUS is 100% insulated - any discussion suggesting he’s even a target is false.
POTUS will not be addressing nation on any of these issues as people begin to be indicted and must remain neutral for pure optical reasons. To suggest this is the plan is false and should be common sense.
Focus on Military Intellingence/ State Secrets and why might that be used vs any three letter agency
What SC decision opened the door for a sitting President to activate - what must be showed?
Why is POTUS surrounded by generals ^^
Again, there are a lot more good people than bad so have faith. This was a hostile takeover from an evil corrupt network of players (not just Democrats).
Don’t fool yourself into thinking Obama, Soros, Roth’s, Clinton’s etc have more power present day than POTUS.
Operation Mockingbird
Patriots are in control. Sit back and enjoy the show.​

You can see where this is going. Faced with the continued failure of Trump's chaotic administration, his desperate supporters needed reassurance that somehow, despite all the evidence, everything was going to be OK.

The user dubbed 'QANON' is happy to oblige. For the past 11 months he has bombarded the internet with his rambling screeds, while followers eagerly 'join the dots' and boast of their enlightenment despite the fact that many of them arrive at wildly differing conclusions.

In typical conspiracy theorist fashion, everything is believed to be connected to everything else. Thus, many pre-existing conspiracy theories (e.g. Pizzagage) have been grafted into the Great Awakening, with the help of a few narrative patches to cover the cracks and logical leaps.

The web of lies constructed by QANON is vast, but the gist is easily summarised:

The Storm's central premise is that President Trump is secretly working to take down a global ring of elite, cannibalistic, satanic paedophiles. And the investigation into Russian meddling into the 2016 election, led by former FBI director Robert Mueller, is actually an investigation into the so-called "deep state", where a cabal of evil, money-grubbing globalists, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, are responsible for everything from a global paedophile ring to the mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017.

As you'd expect, QANON is no stable genius. He's been foolish enough to pepper his story with falsifiable predictions, all of which completely failed to eventuate. Despite this, his followers insist that he's the real deal: a secret insider with top level 'Q' clearance (something that only exists in the Department of Energy, but never mind).

The QANON madness became newsworthy when it began to go viral on social media. Originating on 4chan, it was moved to 8chan, and quickly spread to Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit (which has recently banned the QANON subreddit).

QANON finally went mainstream in August, when its cultists began to appear at Trump rallies.

Last month, some random idiot who believes the QANON nonsense got himself invited to the White House and enjoyed a photo op with Trump in the Oval Office.

Predictably, this has been interpreted as proof that Trump fully endorses the entire conspiracy theory and is working hard on behalf of its adherents.

Defenders of QANON often argue that it must be real because nobody has ever kept such an outlandish story running for this long on the internet. As with everything else they believe, this is utterly false. There are many examples of internet-based cults and runaway narratives just as bizarre as QANON, perpetuated over multiple years.

For example:

* John Titor, the time traveller from 2036 who thrilled readers from 2000-2001

* One People's Public Trust, a freeman-on-the-land scam that promised to reset the world's economy, introduce free energy, and give $10 billion in gold and silver to everyone on the planet (started in 2012, collapsed in 2017; several members are now serving time)

* The Event, a 'cosmic event horizon' orchestrated by benevolent aliens and other mysterious beings that will usher in a high-tech utopia of peace, prosperity, and spiritual advancement 'any day now' since 2013 (this is basically a UFO cult gone viral; it has dozens of branches, each with their corresponding gurus)

* Benjamin Fulford, the British nutjob who has been confidently predicting the imminent downfall of a secretive global cabal 'any day now' since 2009

Fulford is one of my facvourites. Here's a taste of his purple prose:

“Good side” of Rothschild family says Trump will stage financial reset
The deadlock has ended in the undeclared U.S. civil war that lasted all summer, and the good guys have already begun a series of stunning moves against the cabal, including shooting down their secret satellites, multiple sources confirm.

Also, a complete reset of the global financial system has already begun, assert CIA sources connected to the self-described “good side” of the Rothschild family. And this is just a prelude to what promises to be a very eventful month of September, the sources agree.

The satellite shoot-down was first reported by the mysterious blogger “Q” and has been independently confirmed by three separate sources.

“On August 30, CIA satellites and supercomputers were taken down and likely seized by [U.S. President Donald] Trump’s new space force, and GCHQ [British Intelligence] was removed from the NSA database to also render cabal elements in the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, France, Germany, and Israel deaf and blind,” Pentagon sources explained.​

Pandemic scare brewing as cabal faces doom
A pandemic scare is looming as airplanes in multiple countries reported to be full of “diseased” people are landing and being put in quarantine. However, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) sources say the incidents all appear to be fake ones involving crisis actors.

The pandemic scare comes as the execution of U.S. Senator John McCain sent shock waves through Khazarian mafia ranks, who are now activating all their resources in a desperate move to save themselves. Thus, this pandemic scare may be something like a schoolboy calling in a bomb threat to his school in order to avoid an exam he is going to fail.

However, it is also possible the U.S. military-industrial establishment may be preparing a pandemic scare as a cover to stop all airline flights worldwide in order to prevent Khazarian mafia from escaping, as over 51,000 sealed indictments begin to be acted upon.​

Yes, it's those pesky Jews again! :rolleyes:

QANON is a fascinating study in paranoia, projection, revenge fantasy and wish fulfilment. I look forward to its eventual demise, but in the meantime I'm enjoying the cabaret.
