What is the conspiracy movement of Qanon, against whom it is directed and what storm its supporters expect

January 20, the day of Biden’s inauguration, the supporters of Donald Trump from the Qanon movement were expected as the second coming of Christ. They expected Trump to give a secret signal and the American army would conduct mass arrests of representatives of the so -called deep state, who have been disturbed by the president for all these years. These people-the leaders of the Democratic Party, Hollywood stars, financiers, as well as the Pope and the Dalai Lama-are not those who seem, are convinced of Qanon. In fact, they are satanists, pedophiles and cannibals.

It sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but in three years this movement from the marginals, hiding somewhere on the outskirts of the World Wide Web, came to the forefront. President Trump spoke of Kewanon, the media write about the adherents of Q, they were banned in the largest social networks, and the FBI calls them “internal threat”, “homegrown to terrorists”. From the online, the movement came into offline, into real life, and America was frightened.

Qanon and the capture of the Capitol

The letter Q was present in the attributes of clothing and on the posters of the crowd, bursting into the Capitol building on January 6. The whole world saw a strange man with a painted face, bare chest, in a fur hat with horns. He was in the center of events, argued with the police, carried the poster "I sent me here." Jake Endla (the full name is Jacob Anthony Endeli Endeli) - an actor (mainly voice acting and episodes), a writer (the author of two books published on his own funds), and also a convinced supporter of Trump and the theory of the Qanon conspiracy. The nicknames is the shaman Q and the lone wolf of Yellowstone. On January 9, he was arrested on federal charges of “conscious penetration or staying in the building, or on the territory without legal powers, as well as in violent penetration and riots in the territory of the Capitol.” A native of Arizona visited the college, where he studied psychology, philosophy, religion and ceramics. Chengley served two years in the military fleet, but refused to vaccinate from the Siberian ulcer and was fired. He came to the Capitol as a follower of the movement, who believes that the day that they call the storm (The Storm) will come, President Trump will arrest the largest sect of pedfille politicians, to which the followers of the movement are classified by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Soros, Opre Winfrey, Tom Hanksi, Ellen Dejeners and many others. The adherents of Kewanon believe that in addition to the corruption of children, members of this group kill and eat their victims in order to extract a chemical that prolongs life from their blood. According to their theory, Trump was recruited by the highest military generals to run for the presidency in 2016, and then destroy the criminal conspiracy of pedophiles, put an end to their control over politics and media and bring them to justice.

Supporters of Kewanon are discussing other theories of the conspiracy: UFO, the murder of John Kennedy (“The President survived”), Pravda about September 11 (“The plane of terrorists did not crash into the Pentagon”), etc.

But the main idea-by America and the world are ruleed by satanists-pedophiles, including the leaders of the Democratic Party. In this alternative reality, Vladimir Putin is one of the world leaders, who is controlled by the worldwide conspiracy of the Satanists, but he understands this and actively counteracts him, that is, like Trump, is a world evil fighter.

Another participant in the assault on the Capitol, 41-year-old Douglas Jensen, surrendered to the state of Iowa two days after the riots on January 6. Investigators say that he told them that he calls himself one of the leaders of the siege of the Capitol, he was wearing a T -shirt with the sign of Q, he came from Aiva to the capital to participate in the apocalyptic events predicted by Kiyanon. “He wanted his T -shirt to be seen on the video so that the movement becomes more popular,” the FBI Special Agent Julie Williams wrote in the indictment. Jensen at the head of the crowd tried to break into the hall to legislators, threatened the police officer Eugene Gudman (African American). He posted his “feats” in social networks, the police were not needed. The policeman Goodman became a national hero overnight, at the inauguration ceremony, he escorted the vice president Kamal Harris.

After January 6, when the police and the National Guard quickly cleaned the Capitol from the crowd, although blood spilled and 5 people died, the followers of the storm waited on the day of the inauguration.

History Q.

In October 2017, on the 4CHAN website, known for the “toxic Board of Ads”, where racists, neo -Nazis and other extremists were published, an entry from an anonymous account of a person who called himself Q Cleans Patriot (“Patriot Q with a tolerance to secret information”) appeared. He argued that he was a senior intelligence officer who has access to secret information about Trump's war against Global Basis. And he predicted that this war would soon end with a “storm” - the appointed time, when the president finally exposes Babal and restore the greatness of America. Who is Q is still unknown. Scientists from Switzerland, analyzing the stylistic algorithms of the messages (there were more than 1000), say that q is at least two different people. There are many assumptions about the personality of the creator of this movement-from Trump himself or his closest adviser to the Internet troll, the purpose of which was to show the wretched intelligence of genuine trampists. One thing is clear: if it was a draw, then he went very far. The movement is valid, although Q has ceased to publish its messages - always mysterious, full of abbreviations and addressed to followers.

Why did the X -EX be a storm? On October 5, 2017, Donald Trump uttered incomprehensible words at a meeting with the country's senior military ranks, which “believers in Qanon” (otherwise it was difficult to call them) as evidence of the President’s plan to destroy Kabala. Posing on television cameras, the president said: “You guys know what this means? Maybe it's a lull in front of the storm. ”

Supporters of Kewanon believe that Trump sent an encoded message about his plans to destroy world bondage with the help of the military. Conspirologists carefully analyzed all the words and actions of Trump, looking for hidden meanings. When Trump was surrounded by 17 flags, they took it as a sign that he sends them secret messages (q-the 17th letter of the alphabet.) When he put on a pink tie, they interpreted this as a sign that he released children who became victims of human trafficking (some American hospitals use the “pink code” as a designation of the child’s abduction.) They find each other according to certain hashtags and clothes with the letter Q or the abbreviation wwg1wga ("where one, that's all"). Famous fans appeared at the movement. For example, the creator of the computer game Minecraft Marcus Persson in March 2019 wrote a tweet “Q tells the truth. Do not believe the media. ”

The number of Qanon subscribers increased sharply due to coronavirus-the movement created a sense of community for people isolated due to pandemia, prompting participants to “conduct their own research” and share their conclusions. Translators of confusing and encrypted messages Q in themselves became celebrities, spreading the theory of pedophiles in power on the main sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, and collecting money through calls for charity or the sale of goods with symbols, until they began to ban popular platforms, after the believers in Q. committing crimes. One is in the murder of the Boss Mafia in New York last year, the other in the threat of the murder of Biden, then another presidential candidates.

The first was 30-year-old Matthew Phillip Wright. On June 15, 2018, on an armored car, armed with an automatic rifle, he blocked the movement along the highway to the dams of Hoover in Nevada. Wright demanded to “publish the full report of the inspector general” by M. Khorovitsa based on the results of the FBI investigation in Hillary Clinton. Q hinted that the public presented only a substantially edited version, and the full contains a lot of compromising information about Hillary Clinton, the leadership of the Democratic Party, the FBI and other enemies of Trump. In fact, there is no evidence of the full version.

It was then that the FBI realized that Qanon poses a potential threat to internal terror. Conspirologists flooded social networks for false information about the Covid-19, BLM protests and elections. They attracted many parents whose children were missing, or those who are afraid of this threat, with the hashtag “save the children” (#savethechildren). They started with a conversation about the danger of tending of children, and then sent a conversation in the channelology channel - the reason is supposedly that the “global clique of the Satanists” extracts a chemical extending life from children. Kewanon very disturbed public organizations involved in the real search for missing children, the number of which, according to the FBI, in America annually is about 460 thousand.

The main slogan of this movement remained “believe in the plan”.

Some Kanon followers believed that the founder of WikiLeaks Julian Assange was part of the “plan”, and when Trump decided not to forgive Assange before leaving the post, the conspiracyologists were disappointed. Over the course of three years, the base of supporters of this movement has steadily grew, although messages Q transferred from the site to the site and each of these sites used the personality testing system.

The adherents of Kewanon are called the continuers of Pizzagate conspiracy therapists, who immediately after the 2016 elections stated that Hillary Clinton and its nearby circle were controlled by children's sex trains ... from the basement of the pizzeria in Washington, the district of Columbia. Among the recent-a series of fake Internet glasses, a video on YouTube and tweets that became viral among Kewanon fans that Trump had a secret military operation in the United States. Rumors first appeared on the website of the radio host Hal Turner. Allegedly, China secretly sent tanks to the state of Manada. After a small earthquake in Maine, in early December, conspiracy therapists reported that the earthquakes were the result of an air strike by order of Trump. Another statement is that the Supreme Court did not support the lawsuit of Trump's supporters to cancel the election results allegedly due to calls with threats to members of the judges from the Supreme Judge Roberts.

During these years, Q predicted that the mass arrests of members of the criminal clan will occur on certain days, that certain government reports will reveal the atrocities of the Satanists and that the Republicans will win the elections in 2018 and 2020. None of these predictions came true. But most believers in Kewanon were all the same. They simply found ways to reformulate the narrative, ignore the discrepancies and moved on.

The media believe that the number of inveterate Qanon supporters is estimated by hundreds of thousands, but those Americans who believe in a state conspiracy against Trump, but not in the Babal of Satanists, the Devomers of the children, are immeasurably more - tens of millions. By mid -January, only one Twitter suspended more than 70 thousand accounts associated with Q, as he tried to curb harmful activities on the eve of the presidential inauguration.

Trump - the central figure of supporters of movement - praised this group. At a press briefing in the White House, he said: "I heard that these are people who love our country." Another time, he refused to condemn the followers of Qanon during the election session of answers to voter questions, saying that everything he knows about this movement is that “they are against pedophilia”. Trump shared the posts of QANON followers dozens of times in his accounts on social networks. When he was asked about the statements of Q that Trump allegedly saves the nation from the satanic cult of pedophiles, Trump said that he did not know anything about it, but immediately asked: “Is this bad? If I can help save the world from problems, I am ready to do it. ” A few minutes later, Instagram users began to celebrate Trump's recognition of a conspiracy theory on the podium of the White House, downloading its video. “Well, we have been waiting for this moment for a long time, to put it mildly, thank you, Realdonaldtrump,” wrote one of Instagram users to 19 thousand subscribers.

Former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush (brother of President George Bush Jr.), who in 2016 fought with Trump for nomination from the Republican Party, wrote on Twitter: “Why don't the president put his asses to Qanon's supporters? To the psychods, villains, haters there is no place in any of the parties. ” Researchers of fake news distributed in social networks from News Guard found that the theory of conspiracy Q is gaining popularity in Europe, its followers use Facebook and Twitter.

"We were played out and betrayed"

A few days before the inauguration, Donald Trump met in an oval office with the current and former advisers, including the former national security adviser, retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, convicted of concealing ties with Russia and pardoned by the president on the eve of his departure. An informed source said that Flynn advocated the extreme way to cancel the November elections - a declaration of martial law. The supporters of Kewanon and some Republicans were waiting for this from Trump. There was a new hashtag “Rubicon”, which refers to Julia Caesar, who crossed the Rubicon River, contrary to the will of the Roman Senate, actually laid the foundation for the civil war and dictatorship.

Until the last minute of Trump’s presidency, some adherents of Q were waiting for Trump to do something impressive. One of them on Wednesday in the morning called for “praying”, because the next five hours “determine the fate of the world”.

After Trump did not give the conspiracynoes any hints of the US capture plan in his final speech on the basis of Andrews, one of the users complained about Telegram that "now there was simply no point left, we were all played out."

In the Telegram channel, with more than 18,400 Qanon supporters, opinions were divided: there are those who still call others to “trust the plan”, and those who say that they feel devoted. “Now this is obvious. Neither the plan, nor Q, nothing, ”one of the users wrote. “It's over,” another complained. “He sold us,” the third is sure. “The time has come for the revolution.” “We have just witnessed the largest crime ever committed in the history of the United States, lively,” said the Gab @ Majorpatriot user, whom Trump retrained several times in the past.

Holy place is not empty. The theories immediately appeared that the coup d'etat will nevertheless happen and Trump will take the oath on March 4. "Does anyone know what we should wait further or what can the next step be?" - asked the user who said that he wanted a “big victory” and arrests. A survey of more than 36 thousand votes held on another Qanon channel in Telegram before the inauguration showed that 34% believe that "the military and Trump has a plan in the near future."

By noon - a new turn in the theory of a conspiracy or new trolling from the supporters of the Democrats. The theory was launched that Biden was their real savior all this time. “Biden is Q,” the post on Donald.win reports.

And the last. As the researchers of the Qanon phenomenon noted, it is fundamentally correct to consider it as an exclusively political movement. This is a peculiar religion, which gives the club members the feeling that they get attention and social assistance, as well as a daily agenda, what to think about, whom to hope and whom to hate, answers to the questions "What to do?" And "Who is to blame?" This is a variant of a computer game representing an alternative reality with its conspiracies and riddles in the messages of Q.

As the 57-year-old writer and actress Valeri Gilbert, a single woman with a dog and two cats, living in Manhattan, “Pizzageite”-the theory that the Democrats controlled the children's sex trains from the Washington pizzeria and that all this was described in coded letters, admitted to an interview with New York Times. Hillary Clinton, - the mind blew up. If this is true, she thought, then this will combine all the suspicions regarding the elites and explain the terrible truth that they hid. “The world has opened for me in color,” said Valerie. “It was like a matrix, everything just started to load.”

In the past, she admired the hackers from Anonymous, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. Gilbert was most of his life a registered supporter of the Democratic Party, but in the 2016 presidential election, she voted for Jill Stein, a candidate from the Green Party, deciding that both main parties were corrupt. Is she ready to take a weapon for Q? “I am a digital soldier,” Gilbert smiles, “I work through a computer.”

Those who are ready to defend crazy ideas with weapons among the supporters of Kewanon are an absolute minority. A huge Internet community - mothers with left-handed ideas involved in yoga, libertarians fighting against censorship on the Internet, trampists, etc. - combined the slogan "Stop theft (in the elections)." Как пишет NYT: «В Q верят молодые и старые, мужчины и женщины, образованные и нет. В каждом американском сообществе их немало — дантистов, пожарных и агентов по недвижимости, которые однажды исчезли в кроличьей норе социальных сетей и больше не вернулись».

QAnon вышел за рубежи США. Значит, дело не столько в Трампе, сколько в нас самих.
