The topic of Q rather abruptly entered the room again this year when Bill Maher, no conservative, confessed in February that he'd misjudged "QAnon," in light of the Epstein revelations. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but where does QAnon go for the apology?" Anons had been talking about the existence of pedophile rings in the highest levels of government and entertainment since 2018, when it still sounded kooky.

Virtually no one has talked about Q since the bulk of the nearly 5,000 Q posts ended in 2020. Q was an anonymous poster in the Wild West of the internet from 2017 to 2020. Many readers became convinced from the content that Q was someone close to the top, who seemed to have inside information. Some people thought it was Trump; most thought it was one of his advisors. The Anons were those who did the research to make sense of the posts, which often asked Socratic questions or spoke in coded language.

The ferocity with which Q was denounced by the entire mainstream media made me think Q had touched a nerve. Q represented the threat of some entity reaching people directly, without the filters of the corporate media. In 2017, that was still rare.

Your ability to spread information across the digital battlefield and bypass their control is what they fear [narrative failure] and why they are doing everything in their power to disrupt…

Six years later, does Q have anything to tell us? I think so: encouragement on the eve of battle. Q posited a conflict between good/innocent/ordinary people and the darker side of evil/corrupt/elite figures. St. John Paul II (as Cardinal Wojtyla) had said something similar in 1976: "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through."

That battle is about to burst out in the open. It's not a strictly political battle; it has the nature of darkness fighting light. Granted, many on the side of evil are gravely misled and may not have intended to go so far, but that's where they've landed. Evil is a cunning master.

The Q posts awakened a slice of America to the possibility that our government and elite class might not have our best interests at heart; might, in fact, be insidiously at war against us. Then legions more came to that realization in 2020 and 2021, from the lockdowns and experimental shot.

We now know the six-foot rule was pulled from the ether; we know children were never at risk from COVID and should not have been locked down, to their permanent harm; we know it was not an "abundance of caution" but deliberate deception; we know the shot has done great damage. We know many ingredients in our food system are poisonous, that many medications hurt more than help, and that "informed consent" went down the drain in 2021.
