I remember first thinking Q was probably a well done Larp from 4Chan. Also the constant questions annoyed me. I thought "if you're a government insider just give me the info!".
I did read quite a few Q-posts and saw people post them on r/conspiracy, but it wasn't until Kasich accidentally said that McCain was put to death, I knew I had to have a better look at Q.
Looking back on those years, it was like being part of a spy movie. Q took us around the globe and posted pictures of Lisa Page I think it was, in London. Q took us to China to a company headquarters that had something to do with Google if I remember correctly. Especially the picture of the open window was intriguing.
There was Arlington cemetary where there were clues to find and follow. We discovered the Cabal has probably build a huge concrete bunker under Arlington.
And I could go on, but I wanna hear from you guys what you remember best?
I must have read the first few waves of the posts over and over again... not very sure of WTF I was even reading. But, dots began to connect, high level. And that was all kind of happening right around the same time as the HRC/Podesta/DNC/Dyncorp leaks (remember the Voat.co days?) and the wave of Pizzagate.
This wave of researchers, digging for shit in real-time, posting it across only a few viable platforms... rolling my sleeves up and digging new rabbit holes to add on to the intel/info. Deepening everything and verifying it all as it was discovered, staying up all hours of the night in small chat groups - literally micro-crowd sourcing the digs and compiling our findings into the larger ethos.
A picture began to emerge rapidly. So rapidly that we were witnessing them scrub it all from the internet in real time. Complete with people being doxxed/harassed/called/threatened over the findings. We were obviously over the target.
And in an unbelievable turn of events... Q begins posting many of these findings, and even connecting dots that were previously not realized/found. This was when I knew Q was legit. And ever since then the posts just got even more dialed in and touched on many other subjects we had collectively researched. It was the validation that Q brought, across many of the same conspiracies that were historically the most covered up and suppressed.
That was what I remember best. That crossover and validation... then came the proofs, the deltas, more than you can count. Some could have been coincidence, sure. But many of them were undeniably specific and it became simply impossible for these to all be coincidences.
