I've heard maybe it's the CIA? But the term's been around forever, negative connotations and all, since at least the Civil War (which obviously had a few conspiracies in it).
One totally granular example: here's a book published in 1895, talking about the conspiracy theories behind secession.
I'm trying to avoid bad faith / flame wars / fights / etc -- there's already enough of that everywhere, and it wouldn't contribute anything.
I'm honestly just here to see how the other half lives; this is important stuff and I've always been more interested in the smaller picture than the bigger picture.
I might be confusing "learned about Q" with "found .win" -- I definitely learned about Q in 2019, but I guess I came here later? When did .win pop up?
Me personally? No; I kinda have more of a fatalistic, roll-of-the-dice view of the world.
But it's easy to see in Reddit/Twitter folks who cover this subject, or even behind-the-scenes political stuff in general (see: Louise Mensch, Seth Abramson): if your investigations require you to think in conspiracy terms, guess what? You're gonna start thinking in conspiracy terms, even when you shouldn't.
EDIT: banned, that's my cue, peace out yall -- it's been a ride.
Bingo.
He knows the base he wants as an audience, and he dangles Q carrots for them.
Barely a mention in the New York Times, 2019:
Sessions considered starting a think tank ... but he was unable to find financing for the project. At one point, he agreed to meet with agents about writing a book about the Trump agenda, but decided against it.

The Codemonkey is Q theory looks better every day.
It's getting easy to spot a secret liberal these days.
Unfortunately these are questions a lotta patriots have right now, and the answers are YMMV.
I've written this before here recently, forgive me, but I keep flashing to three weeks, six months, one year, two years from now, where pedes are still insisting that the good guys are simply offering a scary glimpse of how bad things could get, before they step in, end the "movie", fix everything, and restart the actual reality.
But after a certain point, the movie IS the reality.
The problem is: that's too terrifying to accept, because this site (and others) portrays it so. Evils, satanists, communists, woke mobs, blm, antifa everywhere, burning every major metro city to the ground. Q described a terrifying lore and offered a solution perpetually on the horizon, keeping anons alarmed but passive. Tale as old as time: Q seized a crisis and offered a solution only he possessed -- digital snake oil salesman with an apocalyptic pitch.
In the meantime, anons are doubling down and reaffirming the lore themselves (with tweets, posts, and stuff like Real Raw News -- bad actors pouncing on the lore for clicks, exploiting a good old-fashioned moral panic).
So the waiting continues, the fear persists, and the hopium comes and goes. These posts here prove it: anons that are angry but are forced to wait, yelling at the military to end the "movie" and step in with arrests/sentencing/executions. "Surely we get the picture by now, the military can stop the demo now, please..."
It''s shitty, it's dangerous, it's a reckoning, it's a sword of Damocles dangling but never falling... but that's where I personally see all this going: anons forever waiting for the movie to end and the shoe to drop, because Q/Trump/news/etc made the alternative seem too fucked up to accept.
For QAnon supporters, anything that can be linked to the number 17, no matter how tenuous, can be interpreted as "comms"
To be fair, TGA does struggle with this one.
But hey, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes a 17 is just a 17.
Come over to the West Coast -- we got sunshine, tacos, weed, smugness, and pockets of eccentricity for any demographic.
Movie guy here with more info, explanation:
STAND BY ME was written by Stephen King, who uses Castle Rock as a fictional town in his stories. (The "Castle Rock" name is taken from the mountain fort in the old novel Lord of the Flies, in 1954). There was a Hulu show called CASTLE ROCK a year or two ago, an anthology of Stephen King storylines.
STAND BY ME was also directed by Rob Reiner, who then named his production company Castle Rock Entertainment and made a few more adaptations of King's stories over the years.
Filthy Lib here -- Gonna try not to start an internet fight, but hey, comes with the territory. This gets into my own personal grand unifying theory of Q, so forgive me.
Personally, the problem I see is this:
The military is using these 'Castle Rock' movie resources to allow the US citizens a harsh reality TV glimpse of what a Biden Admin would be under CCP China/Biden dictatorship

It's a photoshop.
"The light of the righteous shines brightly but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished." -- not to be snide, but fashion magazines generally don't quote Proverbs 13:9 on their cover page.
Dear God that text gives me a headache -- what filter did they use, Havana Syndrome?
honest question -- What's the difference between a regular spiral and a pedo spiral?
Because goverment becoming tyrannical during a crisis allows a better story than goverment doing everything right during a crisis.
Conflict = drama = stories. And when the world is going thru a tough time, expect movies to reflect it in their own way. That's how we got 1940s film noir and the 1970s filmmaker Renaissance.
PEOPLE ARE RIDICULED FOR THEIR VIEWS
Such is the price of expressing views. You can share, they can ridicule; that's the two way street.
WHO TOLD YOU
possibly unpopular suggestion -- Tylenol.
I got the jab and was sore af, but 2 Tylenol honestly took care of it, and I was back to normal in a day.
.... Not for nothing, but here's why they held Woodstock so soon:
Four months into the Hong Kong flu pandemic, American microbiologist Maurice Hilleman and his team had created a vaccine and more than 9 million doses had been manufactured.
A man just needs someone to love. If you can't give him that, then give him something to hope for. And if you can't give him that, just give him something to do.
Applicable quote from the movie FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, of all things.
I'm personally taking Occam's Razor and setting Musk aside as "eccentric rich crazy guy" for now, until something pushes him into a different category -- he's all over the road.
Because they voice those conspiratorial mindsets in their tweets and posts on the subject, fresh from the well.
Plus I'm just kinda extrapolating on big dumb human nature: spend enough time digging through dirt, you're gonna walk away dirty. Combine that metaphor with "When you've got a hammer, everything looks like a nail," and yep, that's what I'm trying to get at here.
I read something about this recently -- MSM writers investigating Q skeptically but feeling the same conspiracy mentality growing -- but it's lost somewhere in my twitter history, if I find it, I'll add it.
Totally agree -- but I think a knee-jerk reaction is unwise and often unhelpful, and that's what I keep seeing here: the automatic assumption that each and every discrepancy in the world is an indication of a secret conspiracy.
