The real story of QAnon starts almost exactly one year before Q's first "drop" on 4 Chan. In late October 2016, Steve Pieczenik, former PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE EXPERT with the CIA and the State Department, put out a You Tube video in which he claimed...

...of having launched a "countercoup" against Hillary and Bill Clinton with the help of a secret group in intelligence and the military to prevent the Clintons from stealing the 2016 election. Pieczenik described how his group was allied with JULIAN ASSANGE to use the DNC...

..and Podesta emails to foil this plot by Bill and Hillary Clinton.

This story is a variant of two opposing stories in the saga of the 2016 election that dominated news and politics for the past 4 years--The QAnon story and the Trump-Russia-Wikileaks story...

...that claims Russian spies stole the DNC emails to help elect Trump, which is the fascinating part about this whole phenomenon. Check out these videos below to see what I mean:

Pieczenik announces his countercoup:

INFOWARS commences its promotion of the Pieczenik claims:

Infowars had a huge following while it was on You Tube which brought the Pieczenik claims to that large audience. By early 2017, the position of Infowars was that the Democratic Party was completely defeated and no longer had any ability to resist Trump's administration.

Long January 3, 2017 interview. Comments about Democratic Party being "irrelevant" in first half hour.

In late 2017, Mueller filed his first indictment in the Trump-Russia-Wikileaks "investigation." This contradicted Pieczenik's position that Mueller and the Democratic Party were impotent and no threats to Trump. This posed a problem for the Pieczenik narrative of countercoup.

Enter QAnon--Q takes Pieczenik's place as head of a secret group in intelligence and the military working against The Cabal. The prediction is Q's group, in alliance with Trump, will bring down The Cabal in what is called "The Storm."

Early Pieczenik interviews on Infowars of November-December 2016 claimed "The Storm" was Pieczenik's countercoup, but that already happened. There is now a need for such a movement with a FUTURE payoff. That became "The Storm" borrowing from David Wilcock and...

...Benjamin Fulford's predictions. During early 2018, JEROME CORSI, then running Infowars' Washington, DC desk, starts his own QAnon You Tube channel, as Infowars embraces Q as an intelligence source, contradicting Pieczenik's claims of "The Storm" happening in 2016.

Since Mueller's investigation actually had teeth, making it impossible to keep claiming Pieczenik's countercoup of 2016 made the world safe from The Cabal, changes had to be made that sent Pieczenik's countercoup down the memory hole. That is Q's purpose...

...Q replaces Pieczenik. The 2016 countercoup is replaced by THE STORM, which has not yet happened, so the world is still imperiled by The Cabal, not already rescued as Pieczenik told us in 2016. Simple cut-and-paste.

With Q becoming part of Infowars with the efforts of Corsi, the large Infowars audience feeds into the You Tube channels and blogs featuring Q's cryptic posts on 4Chan, and later, 8Chan. That this pivot actually worked without anyone wondering what happened to...

..the 2016 Pieczenik countercoup is testimony to the public's lack of concentration and critical thinking. The links to both are simply not deniable. The legend, an intelligence term for a false biography, of Q as countercoup leader exactly copies Pieczenik's.

The public is not the only one that had trouble keeping it all straight. In a July 2018 interview on Owen Shryoer's Infowar's show, Pieczenik corrected Shroyer when Shroyer predicted that THE STORM "was coming." Pieczenik said it already happened, meaning the countercoup.

The supreme irony in all of this is that not only does the legend of Q flow from the Pieczenik claims of the countercoup, but Trump-Russia-Wikileaks, the conspiracy theory of the LEFT, also flows from the Pieczenik countercoup.

In the above videos, we hear Steve Pieczenik claim that Julian Assange, using the DNC and Podesta emails, made the countercoup against Hillary in the 2016 election possible. This makes me wonder if both the RIGHT and LEFT sides of this conflict both originated...

...from the same source, and have been nurtured from that same source.

That is scary territory.

I had to get this from The Wayback Machine because it is no longer on the Internet:

As you read the above article from the archived June 4, 2017 Infowars Web site, this is the source of the 2017-2018 editorial position at Infowars that there was nothing on the horizon that could possibly disturb the Trump Administration.

In 2017, Infowars echoed Steve Pieczenik in telling their audience that the Democratic Party was spent, a political empty husk that could do nothing to stop Trump. In 2018, The Storm was on the way thanks to QAnon.

Then the Mid-Term elections took place. Suddenly, Pro-Trump people weren't "in the streets of Berlin" near victory over The Cabal, but were slugging it our in the hedgerows of Normandy, stuck in the beachhead lodgement. Alex Jones knows what I mean.
