Texas QAnoners Reportedly Drinking Communal Toxic Cocktail to Combat Virus

The QAnon conspiracy web hinges on the belief that a "deep state" network of satanic cannibal pedophiles secretly controls the U.S. government, and that former President Donald Trump was sent by God to expose it.

Among the conspiracy web's seemingly infinite strands is a uniquely deranged belief regarding the late John F. Kennedy Jr. who tragically died in a plane crash in 1999. QAnon believers at the furthest fringes believe JFK Jr. faked his death in that plane crash, and that he'll soon make a messianic return to public life in order to serve as Trump's running mate and eventual vice president.


This past November, a series of Telegram posts from QAnon influencer Michael Brian Protzman led hundreds of conspiracy theorists to the Grassy Knoll in Dallas, Texas—the site of President John F. Kennedy's assassination—to await JFK Jr.'s return.

Though JFK Jr. didn't materialize, Protzman and remaining QAnon devotees remain camping out in Dallas, many of them having ceased communication with their families in the financially draining decision to stay.

A VICE report published last month detailed the increasingly cultist rhetoric that Protzman, who is now acting as their leader, has embraced. He's proclaimed he's "God's representative on earth" and participated in web chats supporting the supposed need for physical death in order to access the truth.

Now, concerned family member of one of the Dallas cult members reached out to the Dallas Observer with a startling revelation. The relative and her fellow QAnoners have taken to drinking a toxic chlorine dioxide solution—an ineffective method for warding off COVID-19.

The family told the Observer:

"She was proud to tell us that she was the one mixing it up and giving it to everybody."

Despite the FDA warning against the use of chlorine dioxide products to treat or prevent the virus that's killed more than 800 thousand Americans, the bogus remedy continues to be used, particularly among those who erroneously believe the virus or the vaccines were orchestrated to control the public.

The communal toxic solution was the latest indicator that the Dallas cult is a major concern.





Some fear that Dallas will end in a mass casualty event.



Many of the cultists have left their families—including spouses and children—to await the return of JFK Jr. in Dallas.

AG Pam Bondi's Brother Blames 'Rabid Partisans' After Getting Absolutely Walloped In DC Election

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has often bragged about his overwhelming victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming he won by a landslide. But while he did manage to finally win a popular vote in 2024, something he lost in 2016 and 2020, it was hardly a landslide.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.

Kristi Noem's Past Views On National Guard Come Back To Bite Her After She Backs Trump Amid LA Protests

California Governor Gavin Newsom called out the hypocrisy of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after sharing a clip from last year showing she'd once criticized the Biden administration for considering deploying the National Guard when Democrats suggested it as a response to Texas' immigration crackdown at the time.

That's noteworthy because Noem has made an about-face, defending President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests in response to his administration's immigration raids by claiming he'd taken this drastic step "for the safety of this community ... to keep peace."
