FWIW: It’s been suggested by Qanon that the Clinton email server was compromised and this is how all those Chinese spies died.

This is a pretty absurd connection that has zero evidence to back it up. It's an extraordinary claim so where's the actual evidence of it? Your NY Times story simply talks about the Chinese spies and doesn't actually prove what you said.

So from the FWIW... what is it worth? It doesn't really seem like it's worth anything so why mention it?

You want proof that’s what happened or that’s what Q said? I can provide proof that Q said something but not that it’s true LOL. I thought was just an interesting corollary. It’s not hard to find what Q has said. It’s all in one place https://qmap.pub

I'd like proof of the connection to which you are implying happened in your original statement. And I don't think corollary means what you think it means. A corollary is something that is a natural progression from one thing to another. Two things that go hand in hand and what you said does not in any way match that. It couldn't be farther from a corollary. What you said is an absurd conspiracy theory that invents a connection out of whole-cloth and discussing it without calling it out as such (as you did in your first comment, and as you appear to be ignoring in this comment with a laugh) is extremely dangerous.

It's the same as saying 'Lot's of people are saying X' where X is a crazy thing and then just going on about your way. You are basically stating the X and giving it credence but pretending not to with a 'FWIW.'

How is it dangerous?

It's really not worth engaging in a discussion and answering disingenuous questions from someone who believes and traffics in conspiracy theories, especially those as ridiculous as the ones you believe and parrot.

You replied to an earnest request for proof of your extraordinary, outrageous, and false claims with a derailing question instead of any proof.

So don't expect an answer to your question, because you don't deserve one. You've thoroughly disqualified yourself from participating in a legitimate discussion with adults.

And "I don't actually believe conspiracy theories myself, I just spread them" is an even worse excuse for your dangerous, intellectually dishonest misbehavior.
