QAnon

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon
  • See also: https://flancia.org/t/qanon
  • In July 2020, Twitter banned thousands of QAnon-affiliated accounts and changed its algorithms to reduce the theory's spread.
  • The conspiracy theory, disseminated mainly by supporters of Trump asĀ The StormĀ andĀ The Great Awakeningā€”QAnon's precepts and vocabulary are closely related to the religious concepts ofĀ millenarianismĀ andĀ apocalypticism,Ā leading it to be sometimes construed as an emerging religious movement
  • Followers of QAnon also believe that there is an imminent event known as "The Storm", in which thousands of people, members of the cabal, will be arrested, possibly sent toĀ Guantanamo Bay prisonĀ or to face military tribunals, and the U.S. military will brutally take over the country.Ā The result of The Storm will be salvation and utopia on earth.
  • Q has accused many liberal Hollywood actors,Ā DemocraticĀ politicians, and high-ranking officials of being members of the cabal. Q also claimed that Trump feigned conspiracy with Russians to enlistĀ Robert MuellerĀ to join him in exposing the ring and preventing aĀ coup d'Ć©tatĀ byĀ Barack Obama,Ā Hillary Clinton, andĀ George Soros.Ā "Q" is a reference to theĀ Q clearanceĀ used by the U.S. Department of Energy.
  • There has been much speculation about the motives and identity of Q. A range of attribution theories credit Q posts to either a military intelligence officer, Trump himself, or anĀ alternate reality gameĀ byĀ Cicada 3301.Ā The Italian leftistĀ Wu MingĀ foundation has speculated that QAnon is inspired by theĀ Luther BlissettĀ persona, which leftists and anarchists used to organize pranks, media stunts, and hoaxes in the 1990s. "Blissett" published the novelĀ QĀ in 1999. [[Wu Ming]]
