S1: 5. Blowback
QAnon and the plot to break reality... A British spy is hired to dig dirt on Donald Trump’s Russia connections. His sources tell him Trump is a Russian agent, a puppet of the Kremlin. America is gripped by this story. Half are convinced the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians in order to defeat Hillary Clinton. But the other half believes the investigations into Russian collusion are a hoax, a conspiracy by the establishment to unseat a democratically elected president. The QAnon community takes up this second narrative, in which a renegade General becomes a martyr and a figurehead. Producer: Lucy Proctor Presenter: Gabriel Gatehouse
