2: Virus of the Mind: Qanon and Russian Reflexive Control
Manage episode 365972649 series 3484008
On January 6th, Ashli Babbit, noted Qanon adherent, flew to DC. shot in the storming of The Capitol. People might be wondering how something as bizarre as Pizzagate has morphed into a large-scale security threat; a threat on the level of ethnic conflict seen in worn torn countries. I get to speak with Eric Brichetto, a software developer, and emerging disinformation researcher. We discuss the more insidious origins of the Qanon conspiracy theory and why it is so hard to dissuade certain parts of the American public from adopting these beliefs.
*Correction In this episode, we claimed that Rastorguev’s work was sponsored and approved by the public relations arm of the KGB. It was later discovered that he had the endorsement of the security committee of the state duma, the lower house of the federal assembly of Russia.
