Though QAnon has its origins in older conspiracy theories, it was set in motion in October 2017 when Q first posted on the website 4chan. Q claimed to be a high-level government official with Q clearance, with access to classified information about the Trump administration and its opponents.[17] Q soon moved to 8chan, making it QAnon’s online home.[18] Q’s often cryptic posts, which became known as “drops”, were collected by aggregator apps and websites and relayed by influencers.
I saw some of them there.
And, given what the Epstein files have revealed… at this point, I think the original Q was just literally Steve Bannon.
Then it got handed off to the weirdo father/son pair that run (ran?) 8chan.
That’s basically my hunch, can’t definitively prove it.
The Q posts did originally start on 4 chan.
