Confused QAnon Followers Question Whether Keith Richards Is JFK After 'Reappearance' Flop

[Initech]

QAnon followers have questioned whether the Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is in fact President John F. Kennedy after the failure of their prophecy that his son JFK Jr. would reappear this week in Dallas.

Hundreds of QAnon believers descended on the city on Tuesday, convinced they would witness the return of JFK Jr., who died in 1999.

This prophecy—which is considered too extreme even by some other members of the conspiracy theory movement—posits that JFK Jr. faked his death in a plane crash and would return to run as Donald Trump's vice president in 2024 and help usher in a new era of American prosperity.

On Tuesday, QAnon followers arrived at the site of JFK's assassination on November 22, 1963—Dealey Plaza in Dallas—expecting to see JFK. Jr.

The prophecy was promoted by QAnon Telegram channels with hundreds of thousands of followers, including the Negative48 and Whiplash347 accounts.

After JFK Jr. failed to appear at Dealey Plaza, because he died more than two decades ago, QAnon followers moved the goalposts yet again to share a new prediction.

Numerous accounts across several Telegram channels seen by Newsweek claimed that JFK and his son would reveal themselves to the world at a Rolling Stones concert in Dallas on Tuesday night.

I'm now convinced that someone *HAS* to be fucking with these people. I'd do it but I'm not that creative.

1. I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou.

Unless it's somehow possible for someone to have been born in both 1917 and 1943.

But sure, why not? Minor details and such.

2. I'd have to use a lot of drugs to come up with some of these conspiracies.

Keith Richards is JFK Sr.? Granted, Keith looks about 104 years old (the age JFK would be if he hadn't been shot in public at Dealey Plaza, dead and thoroughly autopsied in 1963), but he's always looked like that. I still don't get why the Q-nuts didn't gather in boats off the shore of Martha's Vineyard to wait for JFK Jr. to rise from the sea, instead of assembling at Dealey Plaza (to wait for Keith Richards? I'm so confused).

3. So what's our super pal Mike Lindell talking bout today?

I await their next c19 vaccine avoidance tactics too?

(for laughs)

Whoever's plan to get them to not trust their own elected government and rail against anything by democrats even the stuff good for them, is 100% complete, now what?

4. Lol

[TheBlackAdder]

5. Instead of theorizing, why doesn't QAnon just ask Trump himself?

6. I'd sooner believe JFK Jr is alive than believe he would be a Republican.

8. That to me is the insane part.

Do these morons not know the history of the Kennedy family? JFK is probably rolling in his grave at that thought.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Exactly. Sometimes delusions have some connection to reality.

This does not.

I posted in another thread here on DU that JFK, Jackie and JFK Jr were turning over in their graves.

15. Not so much when understanding that in their minds THEY ARE US

and we are them. Decades of projection of their sins on us, and adoption of Democratic virtues as theirs.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! ~ from the Old Testament book of Isaiah, probably somewhere around 700-800 bce.

Obviously theirs are not the first, or even the 2800th, generations prone to this behavior.

17. They push the lie JFK Sr would be a Republican if he were alive today.

[njhoneybadger]

7. John F. Kennedy would be 104 years old

Born May 29 1917

11. I Thought It Was JFK, Jr.

Semantics. LOL.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. It was both. Have you seen Simon and Garfunkel together lately?

Or was it Jan and Dean?
Gladys Knight and the Pip?

16. Sonny & Cher nt

10. The Onion & Borowitz Are Hereby Irrelevant nt

13. Reality is now farce.

[Initech]

18. Reality is now officially crazier than satire!

[texasfiddler]

12. One died too young! The other ... well !!!

Geez! Q anon people

[Midnight Writer]

19. Geez. Haven't these folks seen Bubba Ho-tep? JFK is in a nursing home in East Texas.

I thought everyone knew that.
