It becomes far easier to believe a conspiracy theory when occasionally a few of them turn out to be true. Being party to some secret knowledge that only a chosen few have access to is also an alluring factor. With the rise of ‘fake news’ it has become almost fashionable to believe the truth is being hidden from you.
So, just how valid are the claims being made by the mysterious QAnon? Well, many of the predictions they have made regarding particular events on particular dates have been clearly and easily been proven false.
QAnon quickly countered with the statement that his false claims and predictions were a deliberate use of disinformation. This has left many in the bizarre state of believing that any evidence presented by the left or the fake news that contradicts Qanon’s claims, is just more proof that they are right.
But there have been many more outlandish and astonishing claims made by this elusive so-called insider. Revelations like the German Chancellor Angela Merkel secretly being the granddaughter of Adolf Hitler not the Danzig politician Willi Jentzsch or the German policeman Ludwik Kasner.
