	'''QAnon''' is a sprawling far-right conspiracy theory that emerged on social media in late 2017. The theory is based on the idea that there is a global cabal of elites who are involved in various nefarious activities, such as child trafficking and satanic rituals. It's sort of an extension of the earlier [[Pizzagate]] conspiracy. QAnon has since been banned from various social media websites like Facebook and by online marketplaces like Amazon. Proponents of the conspiracy theory will often use slogans like WWG1WGA (Where We Go One We Go All) and frequently talk about "The Great Awakening" and "The Storm".

QAnon is an umbrella conspiracy theory meaning it contains multiple different, sometimes opposing, conspiracy theories within it.

	The origin of all of this nonsense is a long series of rambling anonymous posts on message boards like 4chan, 8chan, and 8kun by an individual calling themselves "Q". Q claims to be highly placed in the US military and have inside information about the fight against the cabal. One does not need to look far to figure out that it is certified bullshit. Indeed, Q's first post claimed that Hillary Clinton would be arrested that same week in 2017 and that the national guard would be activated. While Q has not been definitively identified, there are good reasons to think that [[Ron Watkins]] is responsible for many of the Q posts made on 8kun.
