[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia known as a supporter of the far-right conspiracy group 'QAnon,' has succeeded in entering Congress, raising interest in QAnon, which she had recently been focused on.

QAnon is a new conspiracy theory in the United States, originating from an online community. In October 2017, a user with the nickname 'Q' on the American community '4chan' spread various conspiracy theories about former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others, giving rise to QAnon.

At the time, Q introduced themselves as having the highest security clearance, Q clearance, which allows access to confidential information about a global cartel.

According to Q, famous Democratic Party figures in the U.S., members of various international organizations, and celebrities are all puppets of a group called the 'Deep State.' This Deep State is said to be operating secretly within the U.S. government, committing various crimes such as pedophilia and human trafficking. According to Q, former Secretary of State Clinton, billionaire investor George Soros, former President Barack Obama, and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden are also puppets of the Deep State.

Q's conspiracy theory attracted many supporters within 4chan, and those who believed in Q's claims began calling themselves 'QAnon.' QAnon is a neologism combining 'Q' and the word 'anonymous.'

Although QAnon originated on the internet, it has recently appeared in real life, including participating in rallies for U.S. President Donald Trump.

Earlier, on the 10th of last month (local time), about 100 QAnon supporters held a rally on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, holding signs with phrases such as 'Save the Children' and 'Pedophiles, you are being watched,' alongside photos of President Trump.

President Trump himself made remarks favorable to QAnon.

At a meeting held in Miami, Florida, on the 15th of last month, when asked by a reporter to evaluate QAnon, he replied, "I have heard that QAnon is very strongly against pedophilia," and added, "I agree with that."

Meanwhile, according to local U.S. media such as CNN, candidate Greene won a landslide victory on the 3rd in Georgia's 14th congressional district election, securing a seat in the House of Representatives.

Greene, a former businesswoman, has posted QAnon-related content multiple times on her social networking services (SNS) since 2017. She criticized the Democratic Party's success in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections as "an Islamic invasion of our government" and is known to have compared George Soros to the Nazis.

After her victory was confirmed, Greene posted on her Twitter, saying, "We had a big win tonight," and expressed gratitude to the voters who "allowed me to fight them (the Democrats) in Washington DC."
