The QAnon conspiracy theory is a hard one to follow, essentially because its purveyors keep updating it when its predictions fail to come true.
As The Conversation points out, QAnon conspiracists believe a “deep state cabal” of “global elites” are seeking to bring down Trump, whom they see as the world’s only hope to defeat the deep state. Throughout the conspiracy theory’s tenure, its adherents have thrown out an untold number of milestones that were to be met, but rarely ever were. In a video clip flagged by Right Wing Watch this week, Ann Vandersteel unknowingly provided a perfect example of a QAnon failed prediction, namely that former FBI Director James Comey and other figures from the Trump/Russia investigation would be arrested by May 5th.
“Last night I got a phone call from a source who to me has never been wrong and is saying that Comey will be arrested on Sunday, Clapper Monday, Brennan Tuesday,” Vandersteel said. “And when I say Comey, it’s the proverbial ‘we’ of Comey—it’s the [Andrew] McCabe, [Peter] Strzok, [Lisa] Page, the people that worked under James Comey. Clapper and his Department of Homeland Security minions, and Brennan and his minions over at the [CIA] will be arrested on Tuesday.”
Obviously, Sunday and Tuesday has come and gone.
“We start this on 5/3, and we end these arrests on 5/5,” she added. “So for you Q folks out there, 5/5 means a lot in this world, and to have those three rounded up by 5/5 is pretty, pretty important.”
