If there was ever a narrative that could be told entirely in its headline, this is it. Raw Story is saying that QAnon supporters began gathering at the AT&T Discovery Plaza in Dallas on Monday night… to await the reemergence of John F. Kennedy, Jr. in what sounds like a wonderful cover story for The Weekly World News back in the day. Yes, the same John F. Kennedy, Jr. who saluted his father’s coffin in 1963 in front of the entire world. And this is the same man who died in a plane disaster in 1999.
Despite the fact that he was a lifetime Democrat from a firmly Democratic family, JFK Jr. appears to have become an icon for the world’s lunatics (earlier this year, they went to Trump rallies to see a man they mistook for JFK Jr…. the man was not JFK Jr.). And they’ve come to believe that his death was all a sham, and that the 35th president’s son has been quietly working behind the scenes for the past two decades to destabilize the “deep state.”
“A popular QAnon hypothesis recently is that JFK Jr. of the Kennedy family will be making a significant revelation at Dealey Plaza by the grassy knoll sometime tomorrow,” journalist Steven Monacelli wrote on Twitter on Monday evening after posting photographs of the scene.
According to some of the T-shirts in the audience, at least some of them believe that JFK Jr.’s statement would include more than just “Hey, I’m alive,” and will also include “I’ll be running alongside Trump in the 2024 election.” (Has anyone told Mike Pence?)
Even stranger, according to Newsweek, some of these folks believe JFK Jr. will reappearance and declare Donald Trump president. Is it possible that his mother and father will accompany him? Which, to be honest, we’re not sure how it works. Or what would give him the authority to declare Trump the president of the United States. Or why I’m even attempting to factor rationality into the equation.
It’s not the first time that JFK Jr.’s resurrection has been foretold on QAnon message boards. They also made a lot of news in 2019 when the former George publisher came forward on July 4th to say he had been hiding out in Pennsylvania for two decades, according to Rolling Stone. There was no information on why it didn’t happen, despite the fact that Fourth of July traffic is notoriously bad.
