S1: 4. Q Drops

The battle for reality. Gabriel Gatehouse investigates.

QAnon and the plot to break reality...

In Oct 2017 Donald Trump says something weird in a room full of military figures: 鈥淢aybe this is the calm before the storm.鈥�

A few weeks later a poster on 4chan who calls himself Q starts to tell a crazy story about a coming storm, in which Trump is engaged in an epic battle against a cabal of satanic paedophiles who have hijacked the American Republic.

A group of bloggers mainstream the theory and it starts having a life of its own with real world consequences. Qanon is born. But who is directing it?
