Interviewing the Alleged Secret Master of the Qanon Conspiracy

Qanon is a conspiracy theory that supposes President Donald Trump is at war with an ancient pedophile cult. When Qanon believers began to show up at Trump rallies, the mainstream media took notice.

Their evidence was a 1999 book about religious rebellions during the 16th century. It’s title? Q.


Wu Ming 1, one of the authors of that book joins us today to talk about Q, Qanon, and the importance of conspiracy theories in modern life.
