Episode description

QAnon first appeared in 2017 and quickly flooded the internet with conspiracy theories from child trafficking cannibal celebrities to suggestions JFK faked his own death and was returning to run for office.

Observers say QAnon has gone strangely quiet. So what are they working on?

The vast majority of QAnon supporters are Trump supporters so what can we expect as the US prepares to go to the polls in November? Is QAnon waiting to launch? Or has the cult of conspiracy finally petered out?

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by Mike Rothschild, a global expert on QAnon to find out what they’ve been up to and if we should be worried about the radio silence from the world leaders in conspiracy theories.
