The parallels between QAnon and "Operation Midland" are many.
Police are investigating "possible homicide" linked to what has been described as a paedophile ring involving powerful people in the 1970s and 1980s.
The group is alleged to have included senior figures in public life, the military, politics and law enforcement.
...
Speaking anonymously to the BBC but using the name "Nick", the alleged victim said he had given three days of video-taped evidence to detectives.
His accounts are being assessed as part of Operation Midland, a new Scotland Yard investigation which is under the umbrella of its inquiry into historical abuse, Operation Fairbank.

A £2m police investigation into an alleged VIP paedophile ring accused of killing three children more than 30 years ago has collapsed amid calls for resignations from three of the UKs most senior police officers.
The Metropolitan police said Operation Midland has been closed without any charges being brought against any of the former politicians, military officers or government officials said to be involved, after a 16-month inquiry involving 31 detectives.
...
The high-profile investigation was based on claims from a single alleged victim known as Nick. He said he witnessed a group of powerful men in the 70s and 80s abusing young boys in central London locations, such as a flat in the Dolphin Square block near Westminster.
Nicks allegations centred on a number of figures in the establishment at the time. These included Proctor; Leon Brittan, a former home secretary; Lord Bramall, a former head of the armed forces; Sir Edward Heath, the late prime minister; and the former heads of MI5 and MI6, all of whom were said to have been part of the savage paedophile ring that killed three boys.

Known as "Nick" in initial media reports, Beech accused senior politicians, army and security chiefs of sadistic sexual abuse and claimed to have witnessed boys being murdered in the 1970s and 1980s.
The former NSPCC volunteer's claims led to a two-year Met Police investigation, Operation Midland, which closed in March 2016 with no arrests or charges made.
Beech was then referred for investigation by Northumbria Police, and it was discovered that he was himself a paedophile.
He pleaded guilty in January to possessing hundreds of indecent images of children and to covertly filming a teenage boy.

It makes me wonder if Q is some person who is convinced they are under some sort of investigation themselves, I mean, they put their Q-droppings or whatever they are called on 8chan, a site that had to be delisted from Google search results because of all the child pornography.

(33,643 posts)even years after they are out of 'power', dying of cancer in hospital beds and such ... they just drop a few dimes, pull some strings with all the other secret paedo's occupying high positions of power, next thing you know the one trying to bring them down has a bunch of kiddie pronz dumped on their computer!
If you could just not be a sheeple you'd KNOW this is the only explanation that makes sense!
Nick was martyr'd!

(101,318 posts)while the police shouldn't have said publicly "we find this credible" or been so hard on those he named, there really was something to investigate. QAnon is a hoax started on 4chan, and which many gullible idiots have taken up, telling each other there's a huge network without ever bothering to give details. The 'Q' postings are just bollocks, which the gullible interpret in any way they want. There's nothing there that could affect a real police investigation in any way.
