I finally am reviewing the long-awaited book on QAnon by Mike Rothschild: “The Storm Is Upon Us How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything”, published by Melville House and is 300 pages long. What is Covered? The book is broken down into three parts and 13 chapters. Part one which forms the first 6 chapters of the book, examines the origins of the QAnon movement. In this section Mike covers some of the historical and cultural phenomena that lead to the environment where QAnon was birthed, he covers the mechanics of Chan culture, the geopolitical environment, as well as some the initial actors that dabbled in this space. Mike's examination of the origins of the movement shows that he has been researching and analyzing QAnon content since the movement's inception. He's not focused on the recent growth of the movement, in light of the pandemic, rather he is aware of the early ebbs and flows of the movement, the various streams of thought, as well as, the key Q drops or political events that led to the continued growth of Q Anon. Mike also covers some of the early scams and conspiracy theories that began the Q Anon movement with a special focus on the role that Antisemitism plays within the QAnon ecosystem.
