I started to research the "Q" phenomenon and then I cam across this article in a recent New Statesman (it's not just Tory magazines like The Spectator that I read). "Most likely ... it started as a prank but then grew into something between trolling and live-action spy fantasy roleplay. And as Broderick points out, it doesn’t really matter if it started as a prank now – the QAnon story has a life of its own." A highly recommended read for anyone who interacts on the Internet (SGT for example) - https://www.newstatesman.com/world/2018/08/qanon-inside-4chan-conspiracy-suggests-donald-trump-secret-genius

One idea that doesn't surface - Putin is behind it. What a thought!

Sure. Russians made vodka, sputnik, Gagarin,... and Putin. Putin made Trump, Brexit, and Novichok.

Did you mean "invented" - if so I thought that was the Polish that first made Vodka - no ?

* Please note the title of the thread ! :)

* I actually genuinely DID think it was the polish - no ? :)

And wasn't Novichock a present from Brezhnev - long before Putin?
