“Open your eyes,” the online post began, claiming, “Many in our govt worship Satan.”
That warning, published on a freewheeling online message board in October 2017, was the beginning of the movement now known as QAnon. Paul Furber was its first apostle.
The outlandish claim made perfect sense to Mr. Furber, a South African software developer and tech journalist long fascinated with American politics and conspiracy theories, he said in an interview. He still clung to “Pizzagate,” the debunked online lie that liberal Satanists were trafficking children from a Washington restaurant. He was also among the few who understood an obscure reference in the message to “Operation Mockingbird,” an alleged C.I.A. scheme to manipulate the news media.
Pizzagate was just a part of an avalanche of evidence of child trafficking by a privileged criminal class. The Podesta emails and pictures of Podesta art was evidence, the Senate page scandal, Speaker Dennis Hastert's pedophilia charges, the Franklin coverup all showed the perversion was alive and well in Washington. There is the testimony of Ted Gunderson, ex FBI chief, and whistle blowers testifying on the International Tribunal of Natural Justice, and the 14 volume expose "Pedophilia and Empire, Satan, Sodomy and the Deep State". And much more.
