A conspiracy that something big is about to happen on Saturday, Sept. 24, has taken hold among QAnon supporters around the world, in part thanks to an episode of The Simpsons.

The conspiracy first emerged in German QAnon channels on Telegram earlier this month, when followers began spreading a video that showed German lawmaker Friedrich Merz speaking to the Bundestag about the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February.

In his speech, Merz misspeaks and says that everyone will remember where they were on September 24, rather than February 24, the day Russia invaded. Merz corrected himself in the official record of the Bundestag, but QAnon followers in Germany believed theyd spotted Merz revealing a detail of a secret plan.

Without any extra information, however, QAnon followers were at a loss about what exactly was going to happen on the date in question. Soon, some intrepid researchers came up with a theory based on a single episode of The Simpsons.

One member of a German Telegram channel pointed out that in episode 9 of Season 24 (9/24, Sept. 24, get it?) of the animated sitcom, the plot revolves around a group of preppers. In particular, the characters discuss WROL, or Without Rule of Law, which is doomsday-prepper lingo for the complete breakdown of society after a major catastrophe.

The episode also features an electromagnetic pulse device, which QAnon followers believe will usher in 10 days of darkness and ultimately the return of former President Donald Trump to the Oval Office.

These people really are something else.

Absolutely unreal. I can't help but be begrudgingly impressed by how enthusiastically they're embracing the insanity.

Time for JFK Junior Junior to rise up

so we have a vice article but where's the source material so we can make a non-editorialized opinion on the content?

Even if the power goes out, people aren't going to just let Trump walk into the White House. A large part of the military hates Trump and they will fight

I had no idea there was a German Qanon. Why the Simpsons of all the TV shows out there? Aren't there other shows with 9 seasons and 24 episodes?

Yea but those shows didn't have a story about Preppers and EMP attacks probably

Having to tell their dates backwards to get the conspiracy to fit.

Smh

And why would Germans even care who the US president is? Werent Trump and Merkel extremely hostile to one another? I already know that these people don't do a good job of voting for their own best self interest but it's really weird that they'd want Trump back. What exactly are Germans getting out of Trump being president?

They mix in issues from their own countries too. Like let's say a fringe group of people from Germany had a conspiracy theory that Hitler didn't actually die. That would somehow be tied in to this which leads down the rabbit hole of more crazy shit like "LOOK WHAT"S HAPPENING IN THE USA!"

The non-editorialized opinion of Qanon is that they're fucking lunatics.
