Dallas, hundreds of QAnon followers await John John Kennedy return

Hundreds of followers of the QAnon prophecy gathered in the pouring rain in the Dallas square where President John Kennedy was assassinated almost 60 years ago, to await the ‘appearance’ of John ‘John’ Kennedy. Jfk’s son, who also died over 20 years ago in a plane crash along with his wife and sister-in-law, was supposed to return to become Donald Trump’s vice president once the White House resumed. According to the insane prophecy, at the base of the far-right movement that played a central role in the assault on Congress last January 6 to prevent the ratification of Joe Biden’s victory, in fact John John would not have really died when the plane he was piloting in July 1999 it plunged into the Atlantic Ocean. And among QAnon followers the bizarre theory has recently spread that John John would appear yesterday in the Dealey Plaza where his father was murdered, to make “a big announcement”. So many went to the square already carrying flags and t-shirts with the words “Trump-Kennedy 2024”, ready for the next presidential ticket. According to a particular liturgy, John John’s “apparition” should have taken place around 12.30, the time when Kennedy was shot on November 22, 1963, and at that exact time the Pledge of Allegiance was recited by those present, the oath to the flag. Seeing that nothing was happening, after a while many left disappointed. The high number of participants in the Dallas demonstration has alarmed the experts of internal extremism who monitor the QAnon phenomenon on the Net, also because the bizarre thesis of the return of John John is considered extreme even by the mainstream followers of the prophecy, based on conspiracy theories. revolving around the idea that Trump is fighting against a satanic sect of pedophiles. “I was surprised that there were so many people, it is a theory followed only by a fringe of QAnon,” said Jared Holt, researcher of the ‘Atlantic Council, noting that some followers had already showed up in the square the night before. “The mental state of these people, their hopeless detachment from reality, opens up very dangerous possibilities,” he added, recalling the role of QAnon followers in the assault on Congress that killed 5 people and injured dozens. of police officers. “Even if an event like this lends itself to mockery, and makes people laugh, I think we have to keep in mind the fact that hundreds of people have gathered to await the appearance of a celebrity who died over two decades ago,” concludes Holt. this “the manifestation of a wider social disease”.
