However, the same article also says this is in retaliation for " but with nothing to prove anyone actually did anything! More like propaganda: "yesterday we attacked. One that leaves no trace and apparently causes no damage that anyone except its intended targets can see. Because there will be nothing for anyone to see, unless you are Putin or his mates. So we and the american public will just have to take Biden's word that an attack has taken place.
Putin and his intelligence services and military but not to the wider world.

That threat was made clear on Wednesday, when pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol in Washington, DC - many of them supporters of the QAnon movement.The NYT article says this of the attacks:Ī series of clandestine actions across Russian networks that are intended to be evident to President Vladimir V. QAnon believers have been linked to several crimes, as have followers of the Proud Boys extremist group. Particularly as QAnon has been increasingly popular during the pandemic, and gained even more notoriety by spreading false claims about voter fraud in the presidential election, extremism experts have warned that the overlapping of these theories poses a real-world threat. The Daily Beast reported that the man, Buckey Wolfe, who was 26 at the time, had also expressed a belief in QAnon and had attempted to join the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group. "God told me he was a lizard," he told the dispatcher, according to charging papers obtained by The Seattle Times. Wolfe was acquitted of his murder charge by reason of insanity last year, according to a King County Superior Court representative. In January 2019, a man in Seattle called 911 after fatally stabbing his brother with a 4-foot sword. Like the lizard-people theory, QAnon draws on centuries-old anti-Semitic tropes.įringe beliefs like the lizard-people theory have already led to violenceĬonspiracy theories about lizard people have previously sparked real-world violence. For lizard-people believers, Argentino explained, "reptilians act as an explainer for the evil that has befallen them or the world." In most cases, QAnon believers use the existence of pedophiles and human traffickers to explain away their enemies whom they perceive as evil. Lizard-people believers claim that "reptilians feed off of our emotions" in the same way, Argentino said.
In the QAnon universe, elites (a group that includes Democrats, celebrities, and business-people like George Soros) are falsely believed to consume "adrenochrome," an imaginary drug supposedly secreted by children when they're afraid. Marc-André Argentino, a PhD candidate at Concordia University researching extremism, explained in a thread on Twitter that both theories are about theodicy, or "explaining the problem of evil." In both the QAnon and lizard-people worldviews, the world is being "controlled by Evil blood drinking elites that are responsible for all the evil in the world."Īrgentino told Insider that the two conspiracy-theory frameworks share an important element: those accused of being evil require human suffering to survive. Insider sent a message to Icke via the media-request contact form on his website, but had not heard back at press time. He has denied being anti-Semitic, The Guardian reported in 2001. Icke has long been accused of anti-Semitism, as his writings on the reptilian conspiracy theory are clearly evocative of the centuries-old blood-libel conspiracy theory, which alleged that a cabal of Jews were controlling the world and drinking the blood of Christian children. The book suggests that blood-drinking reptilians of extraterrestrial origin had been controlling the world for centuries, and even originated the Illuminati - a fictitious group of world leaders that conspiracy theorists say control the world. Icke alleged that "the same interconnecting bloodlines have controlled the planet for thousands of years," as the book's Amazon description says. The lizard-people conspiracy theory was popularized by conspiracy theorist David IckeĬontemporary belief in reptilians is mostly linked to British conspiracy theorist David Icke, who first published his book "The Biggest Secret" in 1998.
