Trump will save the world, but coronavirus does not exist: QAnon movement is gaining popularity in the world

QAnon theorists believe that Donald Trump will save the world and that COVID-19 does not exist. They are also convinced that the world is ruled by pedophile Satanists. During the pandemic, more and more people began to believe in this theory and try to attract others to this movement. The details are shared by the publication Air force.

Proponents of the QAnon theory, which originated in the United States in late 2017, believe that the world is controlled by an elite group of Satanic pedophiles. They are convinced that only the current President of America, Donald Trump, can save the world, and he can do this with the help of high-ranking military intelligence officials.

During the pandemic, more and more people began to believe in this theory, as evidenced by the increase in the number of participants in relevant groups on social networks. For example, one of the largest QAnon Facebook groups has grown by 700% in just four months. And the movement's popularity continues to grow.

To become a member of QAnon, you must pledge allegiance to the movement. “Where we go one by one, we go together,” supporters of the movement repeat, raising their right hands up.

Adepts are confident that Trump is waging a secret fight against the Satanist pedophile sect in the US Democratic Party. The latter, according to the participants in the movement, control the whole world - the media, Hollywood, and especially politicians, for example, Hillary Clinton. They also believe that Donald Trump is posting hidden messages on anonymous forums like 4chan, 8chan and 8kun.

Initially, not all supporters of the theory supported the current US president. However, the movement gradually turned into a real Trump cult. “I’ve never voted in my life, I don’t believe in the voting system,” said musician Nick Nittoli. “When Trump showed up, at first I thought he was a pawn in the hands of the Illuminati.” In his opinion, the American government works for the benefit of “a certain group of people trying to control us.” Nittoli himself began publishing information on the Internet a few months ago. But the number of responses he received, he admitted, was staggering.

When the QAnon theory first appeared, it had few supporters. But in March 2020, there was a sharp jump. Most of the movement's supporters are based in the United States, but users from the UK, Germany and Brazil are increasingly joining them.

Aoife Gallagher, a spokesman for the Institute For Strategic Dialogue think tank, said the astonishing surge in interest came "at a time of social instability and confusion for huge numbers of people". “People needed answers to the question of why this was all happening to them,” the expert noted. “Besides, they were locked in their homes, in their computers, in their phones. All day long. QAnon posts are becoming more common to them.”

Last year, the FBI classified QAnon as a domestic security threat. QAnon has emerged on platforms associated with right-wing extremists and white supremacists. And although the supporters of this movement themselves cannot be classified as extremists, Gallagher believes that “the theory itself quite gravitates toward extremism.” “It includes anti-Semitic ideas. And it is directed against the same groups of people as the activities of far-right extremists,” the expert noted.

Meanwhile, members of the Reddit group at Facebook share personal stories of their loved ones being sucked into the movement and express concern about it. One of the users said that his loved one believes that the coronavirus was invented by Bill Gates. That he created a vaccine, with the help of which microchips are implanted into the bodies of people to monitor their movements.

Some are convinced that their relatives have ended up in the sect. Among the supporters of the QAnon movement, it is true that it is customary to actively involve as many friends and relatives as possible. They call it "red pill" (from the English. Red pill - red pill, a reference to the movie "The Matrix").

People who don't believe in the coronavirus because of their belief in QAnon are especially at risk. They refuse to maintain social distance and wear protective masks in public places, putting themselves and others at risk. “My father is a cancer survivor and has an immunodeficiency,” said the American, who worries his father’s life will be in danger “if he starts believing this.”

Several members of the movement plan to take part in the 2020 US presidential election. There will be at least 14 QAnon supporters on the candidate list. And one of the candidates, Marjorie Taylor Greene, may even get into Congress.

Twitter recently declared war on conspiracy theorists from the QAnon movement. The social network began blocking posts and accounts related to the movement. “We have always been clear that we will combat behavior that can cause harm offline. Following this principle, we will take action against the so-called QAnon movement on our service,” the statement said.

On the first day alone, Twitter subjected more than 150 thousand accounts to restrictions, and blocked seven thousand forever.

As writes edition «Medusa», the QAnon movement started after a particular news feed. It happened at the end of October 2017 on the political forum / pol / of an anonymous imageboard 4chan in a thread called “Calm Before the Storm”. The phrase "This is probably the calm before the storm" Trump himself uttered at a meeting with his military advisers on October 5, 2017, puzzling everyone with its mystery - no comments were made to clarify what he meant, neither from the president himself nor from the White House.
