~ Popular QAnon hashtag

QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory alleging that former US President Donald Trump is fighting against a cabal of Satan-worshipping cannibal pedophiles, which includes prominent Democrats such Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Beliefs

QAnon followers believe that Donald Trump is secretly fighting against a shadowy cabal of celebrities, media figures, politicians and billionaires, who run a child sex trafficking ring, consume human flesh and worship Satan. These accusations have been accused of being "blood libel".

Due to QAnon's black-and-white thinking system, QAnon followers are fanatically loyal towards Trump and despise Democrats, liberals and moderate Republicans who oppose Trump.

QAnon's central figure, Q, claims to be a high-ranking official in the US Government, and periodically leaks out what he claims is government intel. Journalists have speculated that Q is really either 8Chan owner Jim Watkins or his son Ron.

Ironically, despite their campaign against child sexual abuse, QAnon followers came to the defence of Congressman Matt Gaetz after his sexual misconduct allegations.

Legacy

QAnon has been blamed for the 2021 United States Capitol storming, with several of the rioters being QAnon followers.

Michael Flynn and his lawyer Sidney Powell became avid QAnon espousers until their Twitter accounts were banned.

Trump himself occasionally retweeted QAnon-affiliated accounts until his suspension, but has never explicitly endorsed nor condemned it.

Congresswomen Majorie Taylor-Greene and Lauren Boebert have both expressed support for QAnon.

A subreddit named r/QAnonCasualties is a support group for Redditors whose friends, partners and family members have become QAnon followers. A few QAnon followers even committed suicide after Biden's inauguration.

In April 2021, Liliana Carrillo was arrested for the murders of her three children. Carrillo, who was in a custody battle with her husband over the children, was a QAnon follower and feared that they would be kidnapped by sex traffickers. Her husband's cousin posted the story on r/QAnonCasualties.

Predictions and false claims

QAnon and their followers have made numerous false claims and predictions that never came true. These include:

  • The "Storm" would take place on November 3, 2017. There were no notable events in US politics on that day.
  • The "Storm" would take place on January 20, 2021, the day of Biden's inauguration. No coup took place and Biden was peacefully inaugurated.
  • A major event involving the United States Department of Defense would take place on February 1, 2018.
  • People targeted by the president would commit suicide en masse on February 10, 2018. No prominent people committed suicide that day.
  • There would be a car bombing in London around February 16, 2018. There was no bombing.
  • The Trump military parade would "never be forgotten". The parade was canceled.
  • The Five Eyes "won't be around much longer".
  • Something major would happen in Chongqing on April 10, 2018. Nothing notable happened in Chongqing that day.
  • There would be a "bombshell" revelation about North Korea in May 2018. There were no notable developments.
  • A "smoking gun" video of Hillary Clinton would emerge in March 2018. No video appeared.
  • Multiple failed predictions that John McCain would resign from the US Senate. McCain remained in the Senate until his death in August 2018.
  • Multiple failed predictions that Barack Obama would be arrested on felony charges.
  • Multiple failed predictions that Mark Zuckerberg would leave Facebook and flee the United States. Zuckerberg remains CEO of Facebook as of March 2021.
  • Multiple failed predictions that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey would be forced to resign. Dorsey remains CEO of Twitter as of June 2021.
  • Multiple failed predictions that Pope Francis would be arrested on felony charges.
  • Multiple failed predictions that "something big" would happen or the truth would emerge "next week".
  • Multiple failed predictions that Donald Trump would be re-inaugurated on January 20, 2021 despite losing the election. Joe Biden was inaugurated as planned on January 20.
  • The CIA installed North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as a puppet ruler.
  • Antifa is secretly operating as the "paramilitary wing" of the Democratic Party.
  • A February 16, 2018, false claim that U.S. representative and former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz hired Salvadoran gang MS-13 to murder DNC staffer Seth Rich.
  • A March 1, 2018, apparent suggestion that German chancellor Angela Merkel is Adolf Hitler's granddaughter. Other times they've claimed that Merkel is Hitler's daughter.
  • A July 7, 2018, Daily Beast article noted that Q falsely claimed that "each mass shooting is a false-flag attack organized by the cabal."
  • Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, and others are planning a coup against Trump and are associates of Jeffrey Epstein and are involved in a child sex-trafficking ring.
  • The Robert Mueller investigation is actually a counter-coup led by Trump, who pretended to conspire with Russia in order to hire Mueller to secretly investigate the Democrats.
  • The Rothschild family leads a satanic cult.
  • Various world leaders are puppets of the "Illuminati/New World Order".

Similar political allegations and rumors have circulated since the 1970s. Typically the allegations revolved around investigators using existing Satanic cults to lure and blackmail left-wing activists, or in the case of the Franklin child prostitution ring allegations, Satanic sexual abuse perpetrated by elite Republicans. A significant difference between the older narratives and the QAnon of today is that now elite Democrats are considered the villains instead of Republicans.
