The Washington Post reports:
The identity of Q, the supposed top-secret government operative and prophet of the extremist ideology QAnon, has for years been a fiercely debated mystery. But a possible slip-up in a new documentary suggests the answer was always the most obvious one: Ron Watkins, the longtime administrator of the message board 8kun, the conspiratorial movement’s online home.
Most major QAnon researchers have long speculated that Watkins had written many of the false and cryptic posts alleging that former president Donald Trump was waging war against an elite international cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles. Watkins has long denied his involvement, saying he was merely a neutral backroom operator of the site and never a participant.

Concur. #QIntoTheStorm by #HBOMax confirmed what I thought. It started as a fake ass “Intel” hero game. Seized by Ron Watkins/8 Chan to be Trump-is-our-savior game. Coopted by Trump campaign & now has become base Republican ideology. They’re all sociopaths who worship a sociopath https://t.co/yj9psOLcss
