Q Anon was developed by the Cicada group, according to the Youtuber, Defango. He claims to have been personally involved in the project, making the somewhat startling assertion that he "wrote half the questions" himself.
The claims were made during a roundtable discussion which was recorded and re-broadcast by Nathan Stolpman of Lift the Veil (who was himself involved in the same discussion.) Stolpman later made a three-hour video centred on Defango's admission. On the later video, Defango is heard making his admission from 35:27-38:00. During Stolpman's three-hour broadcast (which accepts live calls), Defango then rang in to the show and was questioned in a hostile way by Stolpman (2:23:00-2:40.00). Although Defango does not back down from his claim linking the Cicada group to Q he does claim it is old news and goes on to try to justify his involvement with the project.
Defango claims first to have heard of the Q Anon project at the hacker convention, Defcon, which ran from July 30th-August 2nd. He claims it was presented to him there as "the next big thing" and it was from that point his involvement began.
As Stolpman indicates at various points, Defango is not necessarily a reliable source. However, the link between Cicada and Q Anon seems plausible. Defango presents Cicada, (viewed by some as a CIA recruitment tool) as a vehicle for the best minds to solve problems. He presents the Q Anon project as a problem-solving extension of this, using the Socratic method and the puzzle-format as a "way to get people excited" with the ultimate aim of getting out important information.
Whatever about the accuracy of Defango's account, it would seem that the Q psyop is either over or is being moved into a new phase. The fervent Q-supporting stickies on voat have gone (why is that?), the Q posts have slid far down the forum and we are hearing a lot about actress's earrings. Was it all a dream?
Perhaps we should all head to Defcon to hear about the next project.

You LTV watcher's are stupid and clearly have the same auditory selective hearing Nathan prescribes to.
What involvement did I show other than noticing that it was similar to something I told somebody about. I figured out the information and put it out before all the shillstorm and not a single one of you cuck's looked that it. So I had zero involvement other than being the first to expose what was happening, found out who Q actually was and shared it with the world.
Now what MF

Defango, here's a transcript of what you said on the original audio:
"So after I went to Defcon and dropped off the stuff they did a round of recruiting. That was supposed to be it although they were talking about doing this thing, this QAnon thing, saying they were going to do it and it was the next thing coming. They wanted to have the Socratic method of teaching - they were trying not to put the focus fully on them - but they wanted to see if they could maybe entice other people, start using their mental facilities to do things. Seemed like it ended up being very good in the beginning but people got really fanatical about it I guess - look at the all the goddamn youtube channels that keep making videos after videos, obviously just freaking out. But, literally,what I've been trying to say, this whole charade - like I've been a part of it, I wrote half the questions that this dude asked on the message board - I didn't type them out and put them in myself but you know this was a group of people that worked together to see what we could do with individuals online. All the information is correct, all the information is good and it's been sourced from the right people."
I think "I've been a part of it" and "I wrote half the questions this dude asked on the message board" equate to an admission of personal involvement. People can read that and decide for themselves the level of your involvement but, to me, it seems rather far from "zero". Anyway, the more important point is that what you said confirms that Q was/is linked to Cicada and is a project and a deception. Q was/is presented, here and elsewhere, as something very different from that.
