Just came across a 4chan user whose Grand Theory was:
"Jews did Uranium 1 bc they were planning to nuke DC but only had American-supplied nuclear weapons, & they wanted to frame North Korea (plus Hillary and Obama), so they needed it to make sense that NK had American nukes."
The claim re. Uranium 1 here is building on Q's story: that U1 was a way for Hillary and Obama to funnel nuclear material to Iran and the CIA/Deep State-led bastion of North Kora, which was going to use nukes to blackmail any Patriot™ who somehow became President.
Needless to say, this is 100% disconnected from reality. I'm pretty sure it's even 100% disconnected from *how the right-wing media presented* Uranium 1; it's so... it's so...
I feel like a dog staring into a kaleidoscope. What even is happening???
/pol/ truly is a fever swamp of conspiracies on top of conspiracies on top of conspiracies, fed by whatever's big in right-wing media at the moment -- in this case Uranium 1, which was a nothingburger IRL but which the RW media was very excited about in late Oct-early Nov 2017.
P.S. Why, yes, I DID write this thread mostly just to say "I feel like a dog staring into a kaleidoscope."

Emma Smith started a Mormon offshoot church (which still exists to this day!) based, essentially, on her profound, BURNING need *not to admit* — not to the public, not to her son, and maybe not even to herself — that her late husband had had dozens of wives.
This is what I meant in the OP (or the thing I quoted in the OP) when I said the claim you make when starting a new religion, or a new conspiracy theory, or a new political movement, doesn’t have to be true.
It only has to meet your emotional needs, & maybe feel truthy as well.
This is why it's futile for Democrats to retreat from the issue of race. They HAVE to fight for a multiracial democracy and call the opposition what it is.
Doesn’t matter that installing Trump as an unelected dictator — which is hat they’re really talking about, what they’re really advocating for — is *profoundly* un-American, finding no precedent in our national history or American values.
Hell, they can’t acknowledge THAT either!
Because their identity is ALSO bound up in the idea that they “love the constitution.”
When their actions —such as, again, advocating for an unelected dictator to be installed over the United St in defiance of the constitutional procedures for *how we elect presidents*— ahem.
“Khazarian” is, for reasons too stupid to burden you with, a code for “Jews.”
But *otherwise* this is dead on target w/how QAnon people talk about Australia: they’ve constructed a fantasy alternate reality in which a foreign land labors beneath the yoke of a COVID dictatorship.
It will be REALLY interesting to see if a Scandinavian version of this catches on.
It’s also worth noting that, in the conservative imagination, both Australia and Scandinavia are *white*, which might make them especially attractive locations for imaginary COVID dictatorships—the imaginary *resisters*, like the Q people, will be overwhelmingly white.
