The people at HBO may know who 'Q' is.

The six-part docuseries, "Q: Into The Storm", premiering March 21 on HBO, examines the Trump-centric conspiracy theory/movement -- and makes a convincing case for exactly who is posing as Q.

Shot over the past three years, Cullen Hoback’s excellent "Q: Into the Storm" (March 21 on HBO) is a complex story about free speech, social media, anti-establishment fury, white nationalist intolerance, crackpot fantasy, and anarchist villainy, all of which contributed to the rise of the infamous conspiracy theory, which during Donald Trump's presidency took hold of factions of the GOP, and helped fuel the insurrectionist January 6 Capitol coup attempt.  Part on-the-ground journalistic exposé, part sociological study of corrosive internet culture, and part whodunit, the six-part affair shines a spotlight on one of the darkest corners of contemporary American life.

(QAnon: A mishmash of abject nonsense about global elite cabals, deep state operatives, and pedophilic child-sex traffickers who consume babies' fear for its rejuvenating power, QAnon's belief system is so absurd that it would be laughable if it was not so popular -- and thus so dangerous.)

We shall see how this progresses.

Hoback gains unprecedented access to key players including Jim and Ron Watkins, the father/son team behind the 8chan website which “Q” calls home, explores their rivalry with Fredrick Brennan, the original creator of the platform, and interviews “Q-tubers,” Q debunkers, political operatives, and journalists who have been closely following the movement since it began in 2017.

Jim Watkins has been suspected for a long time. Perhaps they found a more interesting candidate though.
