Eye-opening' GUARDIAN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Punchy and well-reported. Sommer is the perfect person to tell this story' NEW YORK TIMES\n\u003cbr\u003e 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecoding 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Will Sommer","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43747004580083,"sku":"9780008466770","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9780008466770.jpg?v=1682378461","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/trust-the-plan-will-sommer-9780008466770","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
