Conspiracy theorists in the QAnon movement claim that the late John F. Kennedy Jr. still alive.
Hundreds of members of the cult-like movement QAnon gathered Tuesday in Dallas, Texas, awaiting an announcement from former president’s son John F. Kennedy Jr., writes Dallas Morning News.
They have to wait a long time – then JFK Jr. perished in a tragic plane crash with his wife and her sister 22 years ago.
QAnon is dominated by American right-wing radicals in the United States and is known for its conspiracy theories.
–Believe in a joint election campaign
Photos from social media show how QAnon fans have gathered at the AT & T mobile store at Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, writes Independent.
Several of them in campaign-like T-shirts with the slogan “Trump / JFK J” which show that they are Trump supporters – and also support the late JFK Jr.
According to freelance journalist Steven Monacelli, who has reported on the group, a popular QAnon theory is “that JFK Jr. will make a major announcement at the grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza sometime tomorrow ».
Newsweek writes for its part that QAnon conspiracy theorists are convinced that John F. Kennedy Jr. has been hiding for decades and will be named vice president when Trump is “re-elected president.”
Symbol-heavy meeting place
The choice of meeting place is hardly random for QAnon:
Lawyer, journalist and magazine publisher John F. Kennedy Jr. was the son of former President John F. Kennedy who was shot and killed in an assassination attempt on Dealey Plaza in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
JFK Jr. himself perished. in an accident on July 16, 1999 when the plane he was piloting crashed in the Atlantic off the coast of the state of Massachusetts. His wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and her sister Lauren also died in the accident.
–JFK Jr. belonged to the prominent Kennedy family, often referred to as the Kennedy clan, which has dominated American politics ever since John F. Fitzgerald (1863–1950) was mayor of Boston in the early 1900s.
Claims that JFK Jr. liver
The most ardent QAnon believers seem to believe that JFK Jr. living in the best of circumstances, and that he is planning a life in politics.
They therefore believe that JFK Jr. will announce that he will run for vice president of Trump.
Donald Trump has so far not announced that he will run for president in 2024. Among QAnon supporters, he is the favorite to win if he chooses to run.
A theory that has emerged recently suggests that JFK’s plane crash was just a ploy to falsify his death, and that he will resurrect.
A viral video is even said to have shown a middle-aged man who some QAnon supporters claim is JFK Jr. self.
“Secret War” theory
Another conspiracy theory from QAnon claims that Trump is waging a secret war against elite Satan-worshiping pedophiles in government, business and the media.
Many QAnon members still support Trump, who they believe is the rightful president of the United States. Several also took part in the congressional attack on Capitol Hill in the US capital on January 6, which resulted in the deaths of five people.
Donald Trump described the congressional attackers as “people who love our country.” It is believed that the conspiracy of QAnon started in October 2017, with a post on the right-wing 4chan chat room entitled “Calm Before the Storm”, written by someone who used the name “Q Clearance Patriot”.
