Summary
How did a conspiracy theory reshape global politics? How did it tear families apart, inspire an insurrection and convince millions that a shadowy cabal was hellbent on eating children, and only Donald Trump could stop them?
On the 6th of January, 2021 thousands of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol. Their banners read, Trust the Plan, a reference to an alarming conspiracy theory that had gained unstoppable momentum over the last four years: these were followers of QAnon.
Decoding online clues from a mysterious figure – who has claimed to be a high-level government insider – QAnon adherents believe that Donald Trump has been anointed by God to stop a depraved deep state government, that sexually abuse, kill, and eat children. But QAnon has also become a broad church of out-there beliefs, offering a welcoming community to anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, eugenicists and white nationalists.
With first hand access to the leading figures in the movement, investigative journalist Will Sommer unpacks the bizarre story of how a post from one of the darkest corners of the internet, became a belief system for millions; how politicians cozied up to extremists; how an unwavering trust in these ideas tore apart families, caused a mafia boss’s assassination, and threatened democracy. Trust the Plan is a timely and essential look on how the internet radicalised our politics, and how millions were convinced to believe the unbelievable.

Well worth the wait 😁
After months of anticipation, it's finally here - and it did not disappoint. Carefully researched, this book is an excellent presentation of the facts, woven into a combination of adjacent historical events and personal anecdotes.
I started listening yesterday morning and then managed to find a number of household repair jobs that needed doing in order to finish listening to it by the end of the day!
The reading was very good, but only gets 4 stars as it would have been even better with Will Sommers' pacy, mellifluous tones! 🤓

Excellent summary of how we got where we are
Always loved Wills reporting at the beast and found him on the new abnormal pod and other podcast and this is a long summary of all his reporting compiled together to form a story of the rise of Q and the dangers is presents in America and the rest of the world.

Globalist Shill Writes a Story
Good of Will to focus only on the crackpot, cult-like figures involved with the early days of Q. ‘QANON’ is a mass-media construct - it does not represent the millions of Anons worldwide, who are able to cut-through disinformation to understand TRUTH. Would like to see a more balanced view, and not a politicised hack piece to discredit the silent majority. You, Sir are a fraud and traitor to your Country.
