I found this Anderson Cooper interview with Cullen Holbeck fascinating. Has anyone been following Cullen Holback in his efforts of identify the source of “QAnon”?

That smile got me. That’s the smile of a liar who thinks he’s gotten away with something.

I don’t know why everyone thinks it’s some big accomplishment to “figure out” that the entity that owns the websites 8kun and qdrops is “Q”.

The only thing up in the air is whether it’s the father or the son that actually composes the bullshit.
