These- and a plethora of other conspiracy theories- all originate from a group called QAnon. QAnon is basically a right-wing conspiracy theory group that believes that Donald Trump is a savior to the world...Donald Trump has retweeted COUNTLESS QAnon tweets since becoming POTUS.
Key facts: In May 2019, the FBI released a bulletin identifying and warning the United States of a brand new domestic terrorism threat. In this bulletin, QAnon was explicitly mentioned. https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-trump-qanon-conspiracy-theory-20200820-m6oeff7wojf77dyeupvl7u6xbu-story.html
If you want a more exact definition of QAnon it’s purpose, PLEASE take a look at the sources I’ve included in this thread. These are much better sources to learn from than me; I’m simply spreading awareness of this crisis and am mainly paraphrasing info I’ve found.
Something to note: QAnon has been most active on Facebook, but they are also active on other platforms like Reddit. With recent history of Facebook meddling in American affairs, this should raise a few red flags
Here are some other good pieces of info I’ve found. I would definitely encourage looking outside of these, but hopefully this can give everyone a good start.
