There is a basic set of beliefs: namely that President Trump is waging a holy war within the government against a secret cabal of pedophiles, whose members included top Democrats like Hillary Clinton and her advisers. Is it a political movement? A new religion? A cult? It has elements of all these things. Sociologists and journalists have struggled to precisely categorize the shambolic conspiracy theory known as QAnon. There are new demons, still out for the same purpose: to defile Christ and steal hope and do all that demons do, which are the most evil things you can imagine. Just shy of 900 years since the death of William of Norwich, there is a new cabal. The children-found in wells, in fields-were victims and, post mortem, were given the crown of sainthood, as the Jews were given the stain of devilry. The blood was distributed among Jews it was eaten in bread it was drunk in a demonic inversion of the sacrament. The idea of the cabal persisted above all: the Jews of England taking part in these ritual mutilations of children’s bodies, the secret meeting of rabbis, a shadowy group of elders. Vengeful Christians took possession of Jewish property and lands, acquiring their wealth and driving them from hearth and shire. For a millennium, the blood libel has flourished and, with it, accompanying tortures and murders of Jews in orgies of violence. That Jews were inveterate consumers of blood in addition to insatiable defilers of Christ became a commonplace bit of knowledge across Western Europe.
