Germany Cribs From the QAnon Playbook
Germany Cribs From the QAnon Playbook  
Podcast: What Next | Daily News and Analysis
Published On: Thu Dec 15 2022
Description: The Reichsbürger movement is the group behind the plot to overthrow the German government that was disrupted last week. Their grievances are both specific to their country—that the German government is illegitimate and the Reich needs to be reestablished—and familiar to right-wing extremist watchers in the U.S.. They have been radicalized by lockdowns, vaccine requirements, and Qanon. How is this American conspiracy exporting itself?  Guest: Josh Keating, global security reporter at Grid focused on conflict, diplomacy, and foreign policy.
