“Protesters plan to gather outside City Hall in Kansas City on Saturday for a rally that organizers say will bring awareness to the issue of child sex trafficking.But experts who track extremist groups say that many of these ‘Save Our Children’ events taking place across the country in recent weeks have been co-opted by QAnon, a global conspiracy-driven movement that pushes the baseless belief that governments throughout the world are being controlled by a secret cabal of Democrats, Hollywood elites, the ‘deep state’, Satanic pedophiles and cannibals. Those evil forces will be brought to justice by President Donald Trump, followers believe, in an epic battle of biblical proportions. QAnon adherents, experts say, are showing up at the ‘Save our Children’ rallies to promote their conspiracy theories and spread them to a wider — and more mainstream — audience. ‘It seems like they’ve hijacked the ‘Save Our Children’ movement, infiltrating it and putting their spin on it,’ said Daryl Johnson, a former terrorism analyst for DHS. ‘Think about children and how vulnerable they are. The issue really tugs at the hearts of anybody. But they’re linking it to their conspiracy theories, which are crazy and very dangerous.'” – Kansas City Star.
