The Leader of the JFK-QAnon Cult Is Dead. His Followers Think It’s All Part of the Plan. (www.vice.com)

Michael Protzman, leader of a JFK-QAnon cult, known as Negative 48, has died following a dirt bike accident.

Protzman, who had tens of thousands of followers on Telegram, promoted conspiracy theories that John F. Kennedy and his son JFK Jr. were still alive. After a failed prediction of their reappearance in Dallas, he altered his conspiracy narratives to keep his followers invested.

His followers, many of whom abandoned families and depleted their savings, still believe in his conspiracies and some think his death is part of a grand plan. A follower has proposed herself as Protzman's successor, and while some predict new conspiracies surrounding his death, others believe his following will gradually move on to other influencers.

It's totally true. He's just meeting with JFK and Elvis to finalize plans for the long awaited unmasking of the Quadrilateral Commission that is responsible for financing the Deep Quaker State 400 presented by Walmart and also to expose the real truth that our quote unquote oblate spheroid earth is actually a holographic simulation running on super computers at UN FEMA camps where adrenochromium is harvested from adolescent web browsers. It was on Foxnewsmax last night.
