Reports Say NJ Man Operated QAnon Website

BERKELEY HEIGHTS – Reports say one of the largest websites that's promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory network was shut down recently after the operator was identified as a New Jersey man.

Logically.ai published a report last week naming Jason Gelinas of Berkeley Heights as the primary, and maybe only developer of Qmap.pub, according to NJ Advance Media and Bloomberg.

Qmap aggregates posts by Q, the anonymous figure at the forefront of QAnon.

The conspiracy theory of QAnon is that President Donald Trump is fighting a “deep state” group of pedophiles that includes celebrities and Democratic politicians who worship Satan and run an international child sex-trafficking ring, according to NJ Advance Media.

Reached outside his home, Gelinas declined to comment to Bloomberg on the Logically report, saying that someone had sent it to him on Twitter after it was published.

Gelinas did call QAnon a “patriotic movement to save the country," according to the report.

Asked about QAnon, Trump said last month he doesn’t know much about the movement but that “they like me very much, which I appreciate."
