Qanon Conspiracy Theorists Bolstered by FBI Shake-up

So, just to refresh your memory, Qanon is a very frequent and mysterious hashtag on Twitter that started appearing last fall. The complete history of the hashtag is in the article below, but the basic idea is that “Q” is an insider within the Trump administration who is dropping cryptic clues that are recorded and deciphered by followers.

The clues are called “crumbs” and are dropped through 4chan or 8chan, and then are shared on Twitter and also archived on various websites and are also discussed on various YouTube channels.

“Q” is letting followers know that the “deep state” is being cleaned out and that (as best I can tell) the Trump administration is fighting a battle with the “deep state” which is corrupt and rogue. The FBI and CIA seem to be at the heart of the opposition.

So what does it all mean? I am not a conspiracy buff–I just find the phenomenon interesting to observe. Twitter never lets the hashtag trend, but if you check other sources, it is often a very popular hashtag, along with associated tags such as The Great Awakening, Follow the White Rabbit, Tick Tock, and many more.

I will say this–recently “Q” recommended a book and it temporarily sold out on Amazon:
