Evidence or GTFO.
Proof requires research. Do I look like your fucking secretary? How about you get off you lazy fucking ass and go find the evidence yourself? Oh that's right, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone with half a brain.
Firstly, his name itself. "Q", after the Department of Energy's Q clearance. I have had the opportunity to work in our country's national labs, and have worked with some of those clever, hard-working folks that hold Q clearance. A Q clearance grants access to carefully compartmentalized nuclear weapons information. One who holds a Q clearance is a scientist, engineer, or manager who is deemed trustworthy by classifying authorities. Q clearance holders are people who employ our nation's most dangerous technical secrets to manufacture and maintain weaponry than can end the world in a flash of baleful fire.
They are not experts in spycraft and combat operations.
If, for some curious reason, our President put a Q clearance individual in charge of such an operation, it is not believable that anyone would issue commands and share national security information with strangers via a cobbled-together web site of uncertain security...particularly if said website's claim to fame was a loud public argument about about video games.
If that catastrophic chain of events were to take place somehow, this nuclear/black ops guru would not stoop so low as to secure this essential line of communication with a DES/crypt(3) based tripcode hash, with the excuse that it is necessary in order to maintain portability between 4chan-style image boards. This is not a concern of a serious man. Plus, DES has been considered extremely insecure for a quarter-century and can be cracked in hours on commodity hardware, as has been demonstrated here. That presumptive hero would, under no circumstances, embed an insult and a lie into that very cryptographic signature (see technical discussion that follows for details).
The person who would do that is not a patriot, not an operator, and not a hero. This person is a vain child.
It is hard as hell for me to admit when I've been fooled. I have been in that place. It is humiliating.
Is this why you're so triggered right now? You tell me it's a matter of fact and not faith, yet you ask me to blindly trust you about Q. You have to prove your claims in an argument. Don't let Q think for you.
