"QAnon adherents believe that Donald Trump is trying to save the world from a cabal of satanic pedophiles. The conspiracy theory’s narrative includes centuries-old antisemitic tropes, like the belief that the cabal is harvesting blood from abused children, and it names specific people, including Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities, as participants in a global plot. Experts call these extreme, baseless claims 'an incitement to violence'.

'QAnon is popular on the sovereign citizen child custody groups, in part because its believers claim that the government and child protective agencies are abusing the children they take from their parents’ custody,' wrote the Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer, who has published in-depth investigations of several kidnapping cases with links to QAnon."

She delivered one of God’s new prophecies - about taking down the current government - on stage to big cheers pic.twitter.com/ViDDUvgvwI
READ more on Julie Green: "Doug Mastriano’s campaign “prophet”: Political executions are coming, Biden “is no longer alive,” Pelosi drinks “children’s blood”" Eric Hananoki, Media Matters, Aug 17, 2022.
Day 2 of the conference:
Mastriano was scheduled to speak but was too busy to come due to his political campaign schedule.
Katie Hopkins talked about how Muslims were out-reproducing non-Muslims in the UK, and about how Black gangs were attacking white farmers in South Africa - straight-up white nationalist shit. Gets huge cheers.

The Federalist published an article: "‘Hail Satan! Hail Thyself’: What The Gender Cult And Satanism Have In Common" (Georgi Boorman. August 7, 2023). The final lines are that "it should come as no surprise that rebellion against God’s design for humanity is satanically inspired. That is, after all, his mission." On the way there, readers wind through ridiculous academic-sounding prose like: "While Baphomet has a complicated history of iterations and interpretation, it’s not unreasonable to imagine that gender-confused young people might welcome this binary-breaking symbol of 'balance and harmony' and see a satanic sect as a spiritual home for them." This is not serious.
