Remarks:

QAnon is a conspiracy theory, originating with the US far-right in 2017, which alleged that then US President Donald Trump was waging a secret war against a cabal of powerful satanic paedophiles who were supposedly kidnapping, torturing, and even cannibalizing children on a vast scale. QAnon subsequently grew exponentially on social media platforms and in web forums. Anti-Semitic tropes became an integral part of the theory.
