Sorry but, looking at blogs and videos is not "research". It's listening to people telling you fairytales until you believe in fairy tails. The human mind constantly tries to make sense out of chaos, which is why these fairytales are so compelling to you. No different than seeing shapes in clouds.

Scott, there isn't any "research" to be done on anonymous writings on social media... Research is based on facts, data, or repeatable experiments NOT conjecture. If I told you that lizard people were real and to "go research it" all you would find is a bunch of stories where people take unrelated things and tie it into a cohesive story that concludes "lizard people". If you like the story and hear it enough, eventually you start to believe it. However it doesn't make the story true. This is no different than a religion. People want to feel part of something bigger than themselves. This is all just human psychology and people projecting their hopes and fears onto something imaginary. Just like in the past it was aliens, ghosts, elves, witches, mermaids, trolls, etc. Humans have always created stories/fantasies to explain their world. Which is why all of these conspiracies usually involve Satanist and/or pedophiles, because that's what a large part of society today sees as "evil". I don't watch much TV news anymore. However the fact that many people such as yourself believe anonymous stories that people make up on the internet over broadcast news is quite frightening.... TV/Cable news might have some bias, but they are not openly lying to you like the president does daily. One day you'll realize that Qanon is total bullshit. Probably a prank that simply took advantage of the fact that conspiracy minded people like to make shit up on the internet

Edward Marshall, 1. "connecting dots" is exactly how baseless conspiracy theories spread, because it relies on imagination not reality. 2. Looking at this things "without bias" is using data and empirical evidence, not on speculation. The reality is you guys don't want to look at things "without bias" you want look at think using a very specific bias so that everything fits the narrative that you've created. I've heard all of this before in many different variations. The logic all comes down to "Here is the XYZ narrative. Now because ABC happened once a long time ago, ABC in the XYZ Narrative is happening today. Because this other thing is true, it must be true in the XYZ Narrative. Because this thing happened coincidentally with this other thing, XYZ Narrative must be true" It's almost always the exact same leaps in logical. Whether it's ancient aliens, 911 conspiracies, etc. etc. etc.

Scott Provan, See my response to Edward. You're making the same mistakes in logic. Just because you don't have an answer for something doesn't make something else true. Asking a question and expecting to fill it with the narrative you were given is the first sign that you're not using evidence, you're using stories.... It's the exact same logic that proponents of "ancient aliens" use. "We don't know how this ancient structure was created a long time ago, so it must have been aliens" If you don't like religion, then don't rely on same irrationality of filling something unexplained with a magical concept or a magical being... The number of sealed indictments you were told about is wrong, please look into it further. When you do you will see that most are not even for criminal cases. CEO's resign all the time. What lies are you talking about? Especially when Donald Trump lies constantly. Congressmen and senators always conveniently resign when they think they are about to lose, which is very likely to happen in during the midterms. There is nothing unusual about it. You won't see proof of a prank because you're not looking for it... There was an Italian a novel called "Q" written in the 1990's whose main character (called Q) could have easily inspired this hoax. Nothing is happening , nothing will happen, just like nothing happened with the last thousand conspiracy predictions that all turned out to be bullshit. This is just another in a long line of people fooling themselves with fairytales.
