View source for Ron Watkins

'''Ron Watkins''', pseudonym CodeMonkeyZ is an American conspiracy theorist, [[2020 US presidential election]] result denier and suspected actor behind the pseudonym Q, frontperson for the conspiracy theory [[QAnon]].

Ron and his father Jim run the website 8kun (formerly 8chan), an imageboard which was created with the intention of having less rules and greater ability for users to create their own boards by webdeveloper Fredrick Brennan. The site quickly devolved into a cesspit of illegal material, white supremacist mass murder manifestos and became the new home for [[QAnon]], which had to migrate from 4chan. It is believed that Q's identity then got stolen by the father and son owner duo. [https://www.orphanalytics.com/en/news/whitepaper202201/OA_QAnon_meta-analysis_2022-02.pdf Linguistic analysis has shown that it is very probable that Ron is in fact the author behind Q.]
