A leader of the QAnon conspiracy cult, Michael Protzman, known as Negative 48 to his followers, lost his life in a dirt bike accident last weekend. However, despite confirmation from reliable sources, his devoted minions refuse to accept his death as genuine, instead claiming it is part of a larger plan.
Protzman, 60, passed away at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, on Friday, a week after an accident at the Meadow Valley Motocross track in Millville, Minnesota. The medical examiner determined that Protzman succumbed to “multiple blunt force injuries” after losing control of his dirt bike during the accident.
Protzman had amassed a significant following and assumed a god-like status among his thousands of cult followers after rising to prominence in 2021. He utilized his Telegram channel to spread a combination of QAnon beliefs and a distorted version of Gematria, which he claimed gave him the ability to predict the future. One of his most notable assertions was that former President Donald Trump was, in fact, John F. Kennedy Jr. in disguise.
In November 2021, Protzman garnered widespread attention by leading hundreds of followers to Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, where he promised the reappearance of JFK, 58 years after his assassination. According to the theory, JFK would then reinstate Trump as commander-in-chief and aid him in persecuting a global cabal of pedophilic liberal elites, as believed by QAnon devotees who think these elites control the world.
When the anticipated event failed to materialize, Protzman adjusted his claims, stating that Trump had conveyed a coded message to him during a rally, indicating that the original date had been incorrect. He led the group back to Dealey Plaza six months later.
Protzman’s conspiracy narratives continued to evolve over subsequent months, eventually settling on the belief that he had direct communication with Trump, who he asserted was JFK Jr. in disguise.
His followers, deeply entrenched in these conspiracies, abandoned their families, careers, and savings to blindly follow Protzman’s ever-changing teachings.
Despite Protzman’s confirmed passing, his devoted followers remain convinced that his death is merely another hoax.

JFK Jr wasn’t assassinated. He died in a helicopter crash.
Actually it was a plane crash. But it wasn’t 50 years ago.
Conspiracy theorist group QAnon hit a bizarre milestone in November last year, when its supporters gathered for what they believed would be the return of the late JFK Jr – who, they believed, would be running on an imagined 2024 ticket with former President Donald Trump.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Junior’s plane was pulled out of the Atlantic Ocean more than 22 years ago in a crash that killed him, his wife Carolyn and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette
Sounds entirely reasonable to me compared to some of the other stuff we read here. Perhaps its a goiyeshe version of our weekly CR threads from the yellow flag wavers on Moishiach having been sighted riding a white donkey in the HOV lanes on the Grand Central parkway headed towards 770.
In today’s world, we have normalized the craziness to a point of absurdity but absurdity also is what attracts the clicks, which is what attracts the advertisers, which pays the bills so we can read about the crazies. Makes perfect sense
Um, JFK Jr. was a democrat. Why would he be running with Trump?
I won’t be able to sleep toninght.
My understanding is that they believe that both JFK and JFK Jr are still alive. JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963, so it’s 59+ years. He was born in 1917, so he’d be 106 if he were alive today.
Nowadays, it’s hard to tell who’s more nuts: QAnon or the DemoncRats.
