The QAnon conspiracy theory has long been fixated on certain dates, most recently on the anniversary of President John F Kennedy’s assination. In November, hundreds of followers of a QAnon offshoot movement traveled to the fateful grassy knoll in downtown Dallas to witness one man’s prediction: the return of the assassinated president. VICE News reporter David Gilbert brings us behind the “JFK cult” headlines and into the lives of those who have been swept up by the movement, including those still in Dallas awaiting JFK.
This episode was reported by David Gilbert and produced by Adreanna Rodriguez, Jen Kinney and Sam Greenspan.
