It's not a "claim", its a statement of observation backed by a million data points. As for Q, who knows, maybe they are controlled opposition. Anyone who trusts Q is a fool. Anyone who trusts ANYONE is a fool. Trust is the opposite of critical thinking.

I can say two things about Q;

1. as far as I can tell they have never told a lie
2. We The People are waking up, and that Great Awakening can be directly traced to Q.

Until I see signs of Q fuckery (of which I am constantly on the lookout for), I will look to Q for answers.

Hell, even if I do find signs of Q fuckery, I will still look to Q for answers, just like I look to primary evidence of fuckery in Rockefeller documents, Rothschild documents, government documents, law books, etc. right now.
