The Hampstead Hoax and QAnon

Hampstead hoax was seminal to the contemporary explosion of Satanic Panic related conspiracy theories beginning with Pizza Gate and following through to QAnon. I sense that the link isn't causal so much as meme related in the sense that it is disseminated through the David Eich network as an example of some sort of proof that such things happen. That obviously if we wanted sort of recent evidence for the fact that such things actually occur, then we just have to reach back a couple of years to Hampstead. So I guess if it's not causal, at least it bolsters the epistemology of- It kind of reinforced it, yeah.
