I've looked at several threads, and drilled into some links, but they all seem to assume knowledge that I don't have. What has this got to do with pizza gate? I don't need links or proof. I just want simple language so I can get up to speed.
TIA

(4,463 posts)... yesterday, I think, that linked to and article that explored the QAnon deal. I didnt post on the thread and cant locate it. Perhaps another DUer could.
In a nutshell, some poster on 4chan has made cryptic posts as Q. Some think Q is a whitehouse insider, or perhaps even Trump himself. They decipher these posts and believe they tell the story that Trump is playing some kind of 11 dimensional chess, imprisoning Clinton, Obama and Soros, saving sex slaves, closing down pizza joints, and otherwise riding the world of evil - all on the down low because he has no ego, you see.
Nuttier than usual, even for those guys.

.....
The theory, known as "The Storm," is believed to have started after Trump cryptically remarked during a photo op with military leaders and their spouses before a White House dinner last October that reporters were seeing the "calm before the storm." White House press secretary Sarah Sanders declined to elaborate the next day on what the President meant.
"The Storm," as Newsweek, Mediaite and others have explained, alleges that high-profile Democrats and other famous people are involved in child sex-trafficking rings, and that Trump is breaking them up and arresting those involved in their operation. The theory has been traced to the online message board 4Chan, where an anonymous user known as "QAnon," or simply "Q," has propagated the theory.
......
Barr, who is a supporter of Trump in the new series and in real life, has recently embraced several fringe conspiracy theories, according to The Daily Beast, including the one she tweeted about Friday, which is part of a larger conspiracy theory that alleges satanism and sex-trafficking by Trump's opponents."
