Wow. There's a reason this thread has attracted so much attention, the ops are trying it on in here, hard. Every single tactic is being employed to sow doubt and promote the idea that Ron, RON, might be Q.

I mean, you have to ask yourself who would benefit from that. There's more than one. And I KNOW you have a good idea who they are.

I haven’t followed you enough to know what you think of the connection between Cicada 3301 and Q.

Also, if you considered any connection between the other pizzagate-era anons like high level insider, senate anon, cia anon, etc who seemed to bridge the gap (but never really gain traction) between PG and Q?

Perhaps somewhere you have a detailed timeline that I am not aware of, and you could point me to.

To answer your question, I don’t believe Ron was solely behind Q but I am certain he and his grifter dad were counting on it to help set up his dad’s dream “news” outfit. I think that near the end, Ron was posting as Q, but that he had nothing to do with its inception.

I think Watkins was more likely an employee of someone like Bannon. There were probably a few people with access to post, but they told Watkins to keep it going. The confusion that Q caused is Bannon's brand of chaos.

I don't pretend to know as much as others about the whole thing, but it seems most likely that whatever infrastructure existed on the website that influenced the 2016 campaign would have remained in place, evolved, and spread its reach to what we see now. There are probably some copycats, but I suspect the primary disinformation/psyop machine has existed for about ten years.

There is an article from the Rolling Stone in about 2011 that said the Defense Dept was using psyops on Congress persons, including McCain for budgetary reasons. (I'm not convinced it stopped with $) I've wondered what McCain specific issues with Russia might have been, and if this was a part of it.

I think at some point he took over the account & was using it. I do not at all believe for a second it was his idea or that he was the person running it from the beginning or even the entire time after he was able to use it. So, no, I don’t think he is “Q.” I think he cosplayed.

No. And I didn't believe it was his father as some did before Ron implied he was Q on the documentary. They both posted on the account, but others were above them.

No. He's just not that smart.

I have no idea who started it but I think Watkins was involved (or aware). But now, I absolutely think Flynn has taken control of the people that believed it. From the moment he (and his whole family) did the Q pledge on camera it was a giveaway. He sees the power of Q, and he will fill the void Q left and control these idiots.

No. I’m not sure who started Q, but I do believe Flynn and Co took it over

Disabused of the idea well before I’d stumble onto it.

No. He is a “hanger round the fort.” Not at all smart enough. But definitely creepy enough to think he is.

Absolutely not. He might have wrote some drops at the end, but not for most of it. Q was incredibly prolific at the beginning, and did lots of actual research to craft the story. The drops themselves were creative and engaging, even if the content was horrible. Not only that, the drop authors managed to create a psychologically addictive, and damaging game and a cult like community. Ron is neither hard working. competent, creative or psychologically savvy. He is basically a lazy shitposter with a sociopath but rich dad who bought him a message board to play with. He is however a very good lier, which is why I think he was able to convince Cullen he was Q.

As to it being a LARP or a psyop or something else, it certainly took a lot of LARP conventions, but it is completely unrealistic to think that some guy in his mothers basement had that level of commitment to research, write, storyboard and manage the posts, which were pretty well story boarded in order to make a non-linear narrative that was interesting when dropped as crumbs. This was someone or a group of people from the creative community with a lot of detailed understanding of the world of conspiracy theories and actual somewhat technical political current events, like the Nunes memo, not your average pol user.

I believe he (Watkins)started it and it got out of control and taken over by Flynn. Or Steve Bannon who is also very dangerous

I think Flynn is Q. I have for a long time.

Ron has more direct involvement with the Q account than Mike Flynn does (which is zero as Flynn has no involvement). The original 8chan Q (not to be confused with the 4chan Q) either lost the trip or lost interest and then Ron or Jim picked it up and started spoofing the trip. Then after Trump lost, they got bored and wanted to build their personal brands and stopped posting as well.

I think Q is a consortium of bad actors and Ron and Jim Watkins are members of the board of directors. Mike Flynn and Steve Bannon are likely on the creative side.

I always did but now I wonder if maybe it’s been Flynn and /or Steve Bannon

The first Q was a LARPer, people on 4chan knew that, but when the drops got routed to different platforms people weren't aware anymore anymore and started falling for it .At some point the account got taken over and Ron had at the very least control of what was posted under the Q trip code and at the most doing posting himself. Writing analysis also shows there's only 2 distinct people writing them, swichting as Q moved boards. Flynn only hatched onto it when he became aware of the influence it was having and so he started grifting off of it, since he also was down 5 million in legal costs, and using it to his advantage to do his treason shit.

I’ve always thought it was Flynn, esp after hearing him say they have an army of digital soldiers.
