Q

  1. The pseudonym of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch
  2. (followed by an ayah (verse) number) Quran
  3. (theology) the hypothetical common source (logion collection) of the Gospels of Mark and Luke (from German Quelle, source); all the non-Marcan shared material in those gospels (not always considered a single document)
  5. QAnon (anonymous poster on 4chan)
    • 2017 December 19, Paris Martineau, “The Storm Is the New Pizzagate — Only Worse”, in New York‎[1], archived from the original on 26 December 2018:
      In this fantasy world, all of the far right’s wildest dreams come true: Q promises that Clinton, Obama, Podesta, Abedin, and even McCain are all either arrested and wearing secret police-issued ankle monitors, or just about to be indicted; that the Steele dossier is a total fabrication personally paid for by Clinton and Obama; and that the Las Vegas massacre was most definitely an inside job connected to the Saudi-Clinton cabal.
    • 2018 July 31, Julia Carrie Wong, “What is QAnon? Explaining the bizarre rightwing conspiracy theory”, in The Guardian‎[2]:
      In a thread called “Calm Before the Storm”, and in subsequent posts, Q established his legend as a government insider with top security clearance who knew the truth about a secret struggle for power involving Donald Trump, the “deep state”, Robert Mueller, the Clintons, pedophile rings, and other stuff.
    • 2019 March 6, Kaitlyn Tiffany, “How a conspiracy theory about Democrats drinking children’s blood topped Amazon’s best-sellers list”, in Vox‎[3], archived from the original on 7 March 2019:
      At the end of her report, Coaston concluded, “Most people have never heard of QAnon, or Q — and that includes most of Donald Trump’s supporters.” That’s still the case, but the fact that this book is at the top of some of Amazon’s most prominent recommendation lists means that a far larger share of the population will — at a minimum — stumble across these ideas.
