Resolution: Condemning QAnon and rejecting the conspiracy theories it promotes-

Whereas
-conspiracy theories that falsely blame secret cabals or marginalized groups for society’s ills have fueled prejudice, genocide, and acts of terrorism;
-QAnon is a movement promoting a collection of unfounded conspiracy theories that have spread widely on the internet since 2017

-QAnon initially alleged that prominent Americans are engaged in a secret plot to control the world, while using their power to exploit children, and
has expanded to embrace virtually every popular conspiracy theory of the last several decades, from questioning the truth about the September 11th terrorist attacks, to believing in đŸ‘œ landings, to denying the safety of vaccines 💉
-Many QAnon followers express anti-Semitic views, & the Anti-Defamation League has said that the movement’s central conspiracy theory includes anti-Semitic elements
-Conspiracy theories have been a central driver of anti-Semitism for centuries, and QAnon conspiracy theories are fanning the flames as anti-Semitism is on the rise in the United States and around the world
-FBI has assessed w high confidence that ‘‘fringe political conspiracy theories’’, incl QAnon, ‘‘very likely motivate some domestic extremists to engage in criminal or violent activity’’
-FBI bases this assessment on ‘‘events in which individuals committed crimes, plotted attacks, or success- fully carried out deadly violence, and who—either before or after their arrests—attributed their actions to their conspiratorial beliefs’’
-QAnon adherents have been implicated in crimes that they claim their QAnon beliefs inspired, including
(1) a man arrested in 2018 for plotting to plant a bomb in the Illinois Capitol rotunda to make Americans
aware of the ‘‘Pizzagate’’ conspiracy theory;
