Chasing the Ghosts Haunting Far-Right Extremism with Nick Backovic

2017 saw some of the wildest conspiracy theories, but the most prolific was QAnon. However, as the COVID pandemic swept through the world and with the election of a Democratic president in 2020, Q's followers began to vanish. Joining the show this week is Nick Backovic, an OSINT analyst with Logically AI, and he tells the tale of a mysterious and ghostly figure who turned the QAnon conspiracy into something much more sinister.
