QAnon barely raised an eyebrow to the revelation about Ron Watkins being Q, or Matt Gaetz being investigated for child sex trafficking.

But a 99-year-old member of the British royal family dying peacefully?

That’s got them really excited.

The bombshell news last weekend revealing the real identity of Q and the revelation that Matt Gaetz is reportedly being investigated for child sex trafficking barely registered a blip inside the QAnon conspiracy movement. But the death of a member of the British royal family from natural causes at the age of 99? Now that’s something to get excited about.

Within minutes of the announcement from Buckingham Palace that the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, had died peacefully in Windsor Castle on Friday morning, QAnon followers began flooding their online message boards and groups with thousands of messages.

Many of them were displaying glee and excitement over the prince’s death, and many more were crudely predicting that Queen Elizabeth would be next to die, following the death of her husband of 73 years.

But those posts were quickly replaced by a vast array of unhinged conspiracy theories about Prince Philip’s death, including the increasingly popular claim that he died as a result of recently being vaccinated against COVID-19.

Conspiracies like claims he had already died a long time ago, or that he had been executed, or that his death was a distraction for some other nefarious activity, or that he died of an “adrenochrome shortage” were all spread quickly on fringe websites like Gab, Telegram and the QAnon-focused message board the Great Awakening.

1. These Q people are either toxically twisted or mentally ill. Or, perhaps a mixture of both.

That kind of deluded mind set is absolutely incomprehensible.

2. Of course the peaceful death of a 99-year-old man is suspicious!

The fact that the sun rises in the east every morning is suspicious. And when did birds start flying? That's weird, too. Dogs and cats have grown fur! If you let go of an object it lands on the floor instead of floating away! When I close my eyes I can't see! It's all very, very suspicious and I'm sure the Trilateral Commission and Hillary and Antifa are behind all of it.

3. These people are truly sick and depraved.

4. Funny how it's always public figures. Do they go through local obits and come up with the same shit?

It reminds me of people who say they have had "past life" experiences as someone famous.

5. "...predicting that Queen Elizabeth would be next to die..."

I'm sure it was shared in their usual crude way...but...from a statistics point of view, it ain't wrong. At her age, after 73 years together...it takes a toll.

6. I think the queen caught him.

Messing with one of his nurses and had James Bond off him.

11. No....it's Megan Markle's fault according to Fox.

And here’s Brian Kilmeade trying to blame the death of 99 year old Prince Philip on Megan Markle.

7. They're crazy! Prince Philip was 99 years old.

8. This is all so confusing..

I thought he was to be turned into a demon possessed zombie, as reported in the wingnuts of the week. Hard to keep up.

9. how long since they announced he had alzheimers? like, it's been years.

give me a break.

10. I had a patient was was Q. They were quite the character

Funny in a bombastic way, garrulous, I was preforming a procedure that took awhile is how I found out. I was struck in the room too. I had to listen to the most incredible crap. I just told them “I don’t follow popular culture” when hearing all the name dropping of the sex cult. They didn’t get to Hillary until after name dropping a lot of movie stars and celebrities Then they said “And Trump is going to save them” I pretended to mishear, and said “Trump is one of them”?

Anyway. Weird had to hear about a top designer making skin cream out of make forskins. Ick

12. The remaining Qanoners are mentally unstable, white supremacists and/or grifting Trump enablers

The people pushing the Qanon phenomena are equally unsavory. Whatever theory they offer is by its source alone rank propaganda, bizarre conspiracy theory and a continuing attempt to confuse and incite the public.

I'd strongly recommend watching Netflix's documentary Down the Rabbit Hole as an introduction to the people involved in Qanon's inception and development into a mass psychosis instrument. Qanon is/was a Psych-Ops operation intended to control the emotions and objective reasoning of participants. The platform was set up like a game with clues and puzzles to solve which perfectly fits our digital/video world and paired itself to the discontent and anxieties of the moment.

But this is no ordinary game. It's a game that plays the player. It's a game that ultimately poisons the mind.

13. Qanon has truly inhinged ideas about everything.
