- A secret cabal is taking over the world. They kidnap children, slaughter, and eat them to gain power from their blood. They control high positions in government, banks, international finance, the news media, and the church. They want to disarm the police. They promote homosexuality and pedophilia. They plan to mongrelize the white race so it will lose its essential power.
- Does this conspiracy theory sound familiar?
A quibble: Nazism is one of the worst, if not the worst expressions of antisemitism but that doesn't make all forms of antisemitism Nazism. Protocols is a Russian text. The Russians had been slaughtering Jews for a hundred years by the time it was published. Continental Europe wasn't blameless, nor was England. Which, really, is just part of a trend that gets grimmer the more you look at it. All Nazis are antisemitic, but not all antisemites are Nazis. QAnon may have started out as a parody based on a leftist Italian novel but as with all conspiracy theories, it ends up being the Jews all along.
Today, Trump started in on leveraging the QAnon pedophile angle: There is no question in my mind that QAnon is now one of the primary vectors used by Russian (and likely other) state-sponsored actors to spread disinformation in the hopes of undermining trust in our institutions. We already knew that the Trump admin suppressed reports that Russia's disinformation campaign aligns eerily closely to Trump's own messaging. Case #3920 in a pattern of Trump et al. expecting to never be held accountable. He has no intention of leaving the White House, representative democracy be damned. Sidenote: hey mk, would you prefer if we wrote it like "QA---" or whatever, to avoid potential influxes of unwanted idiots? I know of another website that does this. At least, I think that's why they do it.The tweet Trump shared reads, "We can beat them at their game .. #PedoBiden" and includes a gif of Biden leaning in to whisper into an adult woman's ear with his hands resting on her shoulders.
