AIUI, the key part of QAnon is "the storm", the idea that some secretive group in the Trump administration is preparing some kind of mass indictments, possibly involving military tribunals, to bust all of the secret pedophiles. This is "the plan" that QAnon people implore us to "trust". No matter how bizarre and disconnected the happenings in various Government agencies seem, it's all supposedly part of "the plan" that we're supposed to just trust. Pedophile rings in the highest levels of Government and high society seem disturbingly plausible. I have no idea who's connected to it or how it all works, but I bet we'd all be pretty disturbed if it ever really came to light. But I'm not about to buy that there's a secret plan that's going to make it all work out, and everything is actually happening according to that plan.

I was doing some reading on Qanon. The weirdest part to me was how FEW correlations they have to offer. If I give a large group 4,000+ pieces of random information and a multi-year block of history, I'd expect the number of interesting and surprising coincidences to be staggering. Instead, the "deltas" and obsession with 17 is weak at best. One could say that it is more interesting that so many Q posts somehow have so very little in common with anything at all.

>we'd all be pretty disturbed if it ever really came to light. It did, though. I would've expected more attention. Edit: so what, then? Did a massive sex trafficking ring that delivered underage girls to some of the world's most powerful people just get exposed? Did the head of it just die in a Manhattan jail. Was his partner just finally found after months on the lam? Or am I crazy?

  What's already out there is disturbing enough, but I don't think even 10% of what's really going on has come to light yet. Ex - how did Epstein die in jail? No way that's a legit suicide IMO. Some very powerful people must have arranged that. To expend so much energy on that, there must be a lot of powerful people who have a lot to lose if he were to ever talk. Who else might be out there involved in this? What sort of evidence is hidden away out there somewhere, waiting for somebody's dead man switch to flip? Exactly what is it that these people have been up to that they're so afraid of everybody finding out? I don't have any idea. Possibly it could be nothing, but I think there's way too many suspicious coincidences that look like somebody powerful pulling some strings for there to be nothing else there. Also, voting on Q related stuff gets really weird sometimes. No sense worrying about it.

To be honest it sounds like a way to build a groundswell of populist support before arresting vast swaths of political prisoners. The same thing happened in Germany with Jews -- they were called enslavers and disease spreaders. So that people who didn't hate Jews could still get behind the violence because slavery and disease spreading are bad.
