How did a conspiracy theory reshape global politics? How did it
tear families apart, inspire an insurrection and convince millions
that a shadowy cabal was hellbent on eating children, and only
Donald Trump could stop them? On the 6th of January, 2021 thousands
of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol. Their
banners read, Trust the Plan, a reference to an alarming conspiracy
theory that had gained unstoppable momentum over the last four
years: these were followers of QAnon. Decoding online clues from a
mysterious figure - who has claimed to be a high-level government
insider - QAnon adherents believe that Donald Trump has been
anointed by God to stop a depraved deep state government, that
sexually abuse, kill, and eat children. But QAnon has also become a
broad church of out-there beliefs, offering a welcoming community
to anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, eugenicists and white nationalists.
With first hand access to the leading figures in the movement,
investigative journalist Will Sommer unpacks the bizarre story of
how a post from one of the darkest corners of the internet, became
a belief system for millions; how politicians cozied up to
extremists; how an unwavering trust in these ideas tore apart
families, caused a mafia boss's assassination, and threatened
democracy. Trust the Plan is a timely and essential look on how the
internet radicalised our politics, and how millions were convinced
to believe the unbelievable.
