The Jolt: Before QAnon, there was Cynthia McKinney

Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a featured speaker at a convention of conspiracy theorists this weekend on Jekyll Island.

 

According to our AJC colleague Chris Joyner, speakers at the Red Pill Expo will promote everything from conspiracies about the Federal Reserve, the JFK assassination, vaccines – there’s even a speaker who thinks the sinking of the Titanic didn’t happen.

 

But the thread connecting the speakers appears to be a belief that the COVID-19 pandemic is a hoax. McKinney, a 9/11 “truther,” is promoting a book of essays she edited about the virus.

 

McKinney, as a Green Party presidential candidate in 2008, also once claimed that thousands were executed under the cover of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, their bodies dumped into the swamps of Louisiana. Suffice it to say that this is not so.

 

The expo has been promoted by adherents of the wide-ranging QAnon community that believes President Donald Trump is fighting a secret cabal of elite pedophiles for control of the world. “Red Pill” refers to a scene in the 1999 movie “The Matrix” where the main character takes a red pill is suddenly aware of the hidden world around him.

 

On Friday, members of both parties in the U.S. House overwhelmingly supported a resolution condemning the false QAnon conspiracy theories that have spread on social media and seeped into mainstream Republican politics. News reports that one of their own, Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., a sponsor of the measure, had death threats might have contributed to the lopsided and largely symbolic vote.

 

Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene is currently opposed in the 14th District and expected to become Congress’s first QAnon supporter.
