Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned QAnon ‘digital soldiers’ may engage in ‘real-world violence’ under the United States President Joe Biden.
Gatekeepers News reports that followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which sees former President Donald Trump as a saviour figure and elite Democrats as a cabal of Satanist pedophiles and cannibals, played a famous role in the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.
The FBI stated that the adherents of the conspiracy theory may engage in violence against political opponents out of disappointment that the theory’s prophecies have not come to pass.
FBI’s report revealed predictions about Democrats’ involvement in child-trafficking rings, Hillary Clinton’s arrest and the restoration of Trump to the White House.
Gatekeepers News reports that due to the failure of QAnon’s predictions to actualise, the FBI bulletin warns that some adherents “likely will begin to believe” they have an “obligation” to transform themselves from “serving as ‘digital soldiers’ towards engaging in real-world violence” against Democrats and “other political opposition.”
The FBI credits at least some of a falloff in support for QAnon to the non-occurrence of events, such as Trump’s restoration, which was predicted but which failed to materialize, and also to large-scale de-platforming of QAnon materials by social media companies.
