Today I learned a new word: Arkancide

It's a term used by QAnon believers and refers to the Clintons and the (false) belief that people are executed on their orders.

The latest victims? The four cops who took their own lives following the Capitol attack

QAnon conspiracy theorists firmly believe that pretty much everything is fake or a cover-up. The stolen election, the COVID-19 pandemic, and of course, the Capitol riot, in which QAnon followers played a central role.

In the latest effort to convince themselves that the hundreds of people who violently invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6 were not Trump supporters, QAnon believers are spreading the conspiracy theory that the four police officers who died by suicide in the months since the attack were in fact “offed” by shadowy forces intent on stopping them from blowing the whistle.

The conspiracy theory gained traction this week after it was revealed first that Metropolitan Police Department officer Gunther Hashida had died on July 29 and then, hours later, revealed that MPD officer Kyle DeFreytag had tragically taken his own life on July 10.

Earlier this year, MPD officer Jeffrey Smith and U.S. Capitol officer Howard Liebengood both killed themselves soon after January 6. All four had responded to the attack on the Capitol.

The stupidity of almost every conspiracy theory is that if it was true, why did they stop there? If democrats rigged the 2010 election why did they bother to not increase their majority in the House, and achieve a larger majority in the Senate. If the vaccine has a "chip" inside, why aren't we all buying Microsoft products en mass? Conspiracy theories rely upon existing trends to justify reasons for their existence instead of the real reasons they occur.
