Russia is going to attack Ukraine and then energy prices are going to double. Then chaos. I'm not exactly sure where this theory is coming from?

Jacob Chansley, the convicted Jan. 6 rioter who was dubbed the “QAnon Shaman” thanks to viral photographs of his outlandish getup, has been released from prison and transferred to a halfway house more than a year before he was initially set to be released.

Michael Brian Protzman, the leader of a QAnon-centric group who brought hundreds of followers to Dallas to await the supposed resurrections of long-dead President John F. Kennedy and his son — tearing countless families apart in the process — died following a crash last month, according to authorities in Minnesota.

Protzman was 60. His death, which occurred June 30, was confirmed to The Dallas Morning News by officials in Olmsted County, about 100 miles south of Minneapolis.

According to a death report obtained by Vice News, Protzman died of blunt-force injuries after losing control of a dirt bike on June 23, one week before his death.

Originally from Washington State, Protzman convinced hundreds, possibly thousands, of people to uproot their lives and leave their families to come to Dallas in 2021 under the belief that Kennedy, who was assassinated in Dallas in 1963, and his son, who died in a plane crash in 1999, would reveal themselves to be alive, help usher in the reinstatement of Donald Trump as president, and commence a “storm” of military tribunals and executions of prominent Democrats and celebrities, who his followers baselessly believed were involved in the sexual abuse of children.

Those predictions did not come to pass.

I haven’t heard much about them in a while, and I was kind of hoping/thinking that they finally hit the point when enough of their screwball conspiracy predictions failed to come to pass that their followers had giving up.
