On the online messaging system Telegram earlier this week, Wood wrote that he has “formed an opinion that Q speaks truth,” referring to the anonymous poster in QAnon lore who has purported high-level government clearance and deep access to state secrets.

“I know that I agree with the principles of Q in its fight against child sex trafficking, pedophilia, and satanic rituals,” added Wood, who noted that he still considers himself one of the “Anons.”

But as for “QAnon” itself, he declared, it’s “likely a Deep State operation constructed to discredit Q and the Anons.”
