I’ve come to a few conclusions about the whole QAnon phenomena. And phenomena it is, QAnon is a conspiracy theory that emerged in 2017, and has spread like wildfire since: QAnon spreads across globe, shadowing COVID-19.  Both here in America and internationally. What is the QAnon theory? Basically that a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles running a global child sex-trafficking ring is plotting against President Donald Trump, who is battling them, leading to a “day of reckoning” (the storm) involving the mass arrest of journalists and politicians. Soros and the Clintons are supposedly deeply involved. And not just pedophilia, the cabal is sacrificing children for their nefarious purposes, some suggesting they are harvesting something from them to rejuvenate the leaders of the cabal. World domination of course is the cabal’s goal.

Whew, breathtaking, isn’t it? What do I think? I remained unconvinced. Proponents of QAnon have yet to produce any actual evidence, until they do I will remain skeptical. That being said, one of the things that was just brought to my attention is that the QAnon theory is nothing new. For all practical purposes this theory emerged in Russia in 1903 called “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” That was a text purporting to be a factual account of a secret Jewish plot to rule the world. Including, get this, sacrificing non-Jewish children to use their blood in Jewish rituals. The protocols were certainly instrumental in inspiring/justifying a number of anti Jewish pogroms in Russia before World War Two. After the war it gained global currency, and was popularized by such people as Henry Ford and one Adolf Hitler. Basically QAnon is pretty much Hitler’s theory that a secret Jewish cabal was running the world, and all Jews were in on it: QAnon is a Nazi Cult, Rebranded.

Is Trump Hitler? No. Hitler would have despised Trump, Trump would have envied Hitler and vied for his approval. I digress. What scares me, is that unlike most conspiracy theories, QAnon has teeth and legs. And it’s arising at a very scary time in America. By legs, I mean there are already QAnon supporting GOP politicians, and more all the time. It’s going mainstream, at least in GOP circles. And by teeth I mean QAnon actually identifies enemies to be eliminated. 

And I’m not just talking about Jews. Unfortunately for the past few decades at least, many on the right have been preaching that liberals are the enemy. Little better than, if not in league with, Godless commies who want to destroy America. And they’re stupid! Rush Limbaugh, a wondrous font of hating all things liberal, once said that two liberals should be kept on display in every town so people can see what they were like. And QAnon brings it one step deeper, liberals are actually a Satanic cult out to destroy true humanity. Which would be Trump supporters of course, defenders of a “great” America..

There’s no mystery why Trump’s base stays with him no matter what. He’s on their side, and QAnon reinforces that in spades. So I’m scared what will happen if push comes to shove. Trump is already talking about a third term, as if the second was a guarantee. And the election is already showing plenty of signs of being fubarded. I’ve gotten four forms in the mail to send in to request an absentee ballot. I mean, wtf? The crash and burn of the Iowa caucuses this spring was an ill omen. Election from hell coming up.

So, a second civil war in the offing in America? Trump’s base is definitely outnumbered, but nothing a handful of nukes in CA and NY wouldn’t fix. Crazy talk I know. If in 1939 one suggested Hitler was going to gas millions and start wars that would kill tens of millions, most would have called that crazy talk too. I dunno, I wonder if we’re heading down a path we’ve been before. That’s why I reference Sauron. He was the protagonist in The Lord of the Rings, an evil being who was reborn periodically and wreaked havoc and death on the world. I’m not saying Trump is Sauron or Hitler, I’m saying the times periodically create Saurons and Hitlers 

And QAnon sure makes me wonder if those times are back.  I hope people keep their cool and we muddle through Covid-19, the election, the fires, and everything else. I fear though we’ve already reached a tipping point and things will get vastly worse before they get better. Reality bats last, and most Americans seem to have lost sight of that. Stay safe everyone.
