Scoot: A deeper look at QAnon believers

QAnon believers put faith in conspiracy theories that read like a thriller that would stand out as bizarre even in the fantasy world of sci-fi.

This week, I wrote and talked on my show about the basic beliefs of the Trump supporters who believe in QAnon. The simplest definition of the world according to QAnon is that they believe that Democrats and Hollywood elites are Satanic pedophiles that operate a highly-organized child sex trafficking ring and that President Trump was divinely guided to the presidency as the sole savior who would expose and disband the sex trafficking ring and save the children. But there’s more to the real world of QAnon.


Marjorie Taylor Greene is a Republican QAnon believer who overwhelmingly won her district in Georgia and is now a freshman member of the House of Representatives. Congresswoman Greene is serving openly as a QAnon believer and recent discoverings of some of her farfetched ideas are coming to light.

Rep. Greene’s social media posts in 2018 and 2019 include an idea on how to get rid of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi without waiting to remove her through a vote. Greene’s suggestion was “a bullet to the head would be quicker.” Executing high-ranking politicians, including Obama and Hillary, is mentioned as if this is an acceptable manner in which to deal with political opponents.

This week, new revelations from Greene’s social media show that the congresswoman believes that the tragic wildfire in California in 2018 was set by a Jewish-owned laser that came from space. The wildfire scorched 150,000 acres and killed 85 people. The fact that the origin of the wildfire was traced back to the malfunction of electrical wiring owned by Pacific Gas and Electric was ignored.

As if all of this is not enough to depict any QAnon believer as disillusioned, there’s more. My motive to expose the truth about what QAnon supporters believe is for there to be a collective understanding of just how bizarre their belief system is. Since violence is an acceptable way of defending the QAnon mission, many of these supporters pose a domestic threat to the United States.

In the movie “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” journalist and writer Hunter S. Thompson is offered a taste of adrenochrome from a lawyer. The lawyer says “that stuff makes pure mescaline seem like ginger beer.”

QAnon believers are supporting and promoting conspiracy theories that include the belief that adrenochrome is the desired drug of the Democratic and Hollywood elites and that it is one of the reasons they are involved in the sex trafficking of children.

Adrenochrome is a chemical compound that forms through the oxidation of adrenaline. In a YouTube video, QAnon believer, Liz Crokin, claims that “Adrenochrome is a drug that the elites love. It comes from children. The drug is extracted from the pituitary gland of tortured children. It’s sold on the black market. It’s the drug of the elite’s [Democrats and Hollywood elites] love. It is their favorite drug. It is beyond evil. It is demonic. It is so sick. So there is a theory that the white hats tainted the adrenochrome supply with coronavirus.” And that is the explanation why so many people are inflicted with COVID-19.

Since Trump was the key figure in the QAnon movement but is out of power now, there are new theories that change to fit the current narrative. Now circulating social media sites is the idea that President Trump’s loss in the election was always an integral part of the plan and that he is secretly still the president. The inauguration of Joe Biden used body doubles and effects to create the illusion that Biden is president.

Yet another theory spreading through right-wing social media channels is the idea that there is credible information that important politicians and people in the media will soon be arrested and tried; and some could be executed live on television.

These sci-fi beliefs of some right-wing Republicans, many of whom stormed the Capitol on January 6th, should be alarming to every American and some QAnon believers are leaving the group after realizing that they were misguided by misinformation.

Psychiatrists suggest that belief in QAnon fits the need some people have to explain the world around them, and that belief gives them power. Whatever reasons were given, QAnon supporters should be known for who and what they are - a threat to America.
