Followers of the QAnon conspiracy movement gathered in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday, hoping to witness the reappearance of
John F. Kennedy, who died in a plane crash 22 years ago, local press reported. At around 1 p.m. local time, hundreds of people gathered at Dealey Plaza in the heart of Dallas, where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, according to the newspaper. Dallas Morning News.
One of the theories disseminated by the QAnon Nebula, notably by the influential Michael Brian Protzman on Telegram, asserts that the son of “JFK”, John F. Kennedy Jr, died in 1999 with his wife Carolyn and his sister-in-law Lauren when the plane he was piloting crashed at sea off the state of Massachusetts, was due to reappear around noon, to announce the return of Donald trump as President of the United States. Trump was to become “the king among kings” ensured a publication posted Monday on a QAnon account. Alas, the revelation did not take place and, a few hours later, the rain had dispersed the last supporters of QAnon.

An “extremely worrying sign”
“The very large crowd gathered for the reappearance of JFK Jr. after his mock death is not something funny,” responded Democratic Senator from Connecticut Chris Murphy on Twitter. “This is an extremely worrying sign of how the political debate has become completely detached from the truth,” he stressed. We were not talking about resurrection here, but about a (false) death which, according to the followers of QAnon, would have been staged.
Born in 2017 in the United States, the QAnon movement takes its name from enigmatic messages posted by a certain “Q”, supposed to be a senior American official close to former US President Donald Trump.
Satanist and pedophile conspiracy
The QAnon nebula is notably a proponent of a theory according to which Joe biden and Democrats are part of a global Satanist and pedophile conspiracy.
Over the years, these theories have convinced more and more Americans, and the FBI is monitoring this far-right group, seen as potentially dangerous. Many QAnon activists were among the crowd that attacked the Capitol on January 6.
