This is the logical choice, according to QAnon believers. As the venue from which to make these grave and consequential revelations to the world, Trump's administration chooses 8kun, a fringe Internet imageboard best known for pornography, racism, and assorted illegal content. This belief holds that there is a highly placed operative within the presidential administration of Donald Trump using the moniker "Q", who leaks information to the world about how Trump is battling a secret shadow government called the "deep state" consisting of prominent Democrats, billionaires, and other elites who engage in Satan worship and pedophilia, all of whom will soon be arrested in a massive sweep called "The Storm". A few months ago we covered the QAnon conspiracy theory right here on Skeptoid. It turns out that adrenochrome is tightly linked with another growing conspiracy theory. When you drink it, it gives you euphoria and power. It gives you strength, it gives you vitality, and the people that killed Jessie are harvesting that from other people. Adrenochrome is a chemical that our body produces when we're extremely fearful or have a lot of distress. I believe that Jessie was tortured for the drug adrenochrome. In 2020, one believer gave her version on the TV show Dr. But since fiction spreads so much faster than fact, ever since the movie came out, people have wrongly believed that adrenochrome is a recreational drug. Director Terry Gilliam says that Thompson told him he completely made up the psychedelic effects of adrenochrome. You'll go completely crazy if you take too much." In the 1998 movie adaptation, actor Johnny Depp brought its imaginary effects to life on the big screen. One of his characters says "That stuff makes pure mescaline seem like ginger beer. Taking full literary license, Thompson decided to go all-out and depict adrenochrome as some kind of wild psychedelic drug. Thompson's 1971 novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There it languished, known only to a few literary savants, until it hit the big time in Hunter S. Some research done in the 1950s hypothesized that schizophrenia might be associated with high levels of adrenochrome, and a few authors heard about this and decided to use it in their books - but only after adding the fictional element of psychedelics. Its value as a recreational drug is debatable at best in the United States, it's not even listed as a controlled substance. It is easily synthesized, widely available, and inexpensive - no need to harvest it from children or anyone else. Presumably this is why the children have to be tortured first: to get their bodies producing adrenaline.Īdrenochrome does have some limited pharmacological use in a few countries. It's the metabolic byproduct of the hormone adrenaline (also called epinephrine), produced as your body uses adrenaline. About the only thing that's true is that adrenochrome is a real chemical. Adrenochrome is not used as a recreational drug, it is not obtained by extraction from human bodies, there's no evidence anyone in Hollywood has tried using it as a recreational drug, and there don't seem to be any children who have had their body chemicals extracted. And not just wrong, but trivially wrong thirty seconds on Wikipedia is more than enough to prove it. It's hard to know where to begin, because everything about the belief is wrong. Today we're going to examine the amazing, outlandish, incredible, and astonishingly freakish adrenochrome conspiracy theory, and try to understand how and why such a belief could possibly arise in the modern world. I wish I could report that this is merely the plot of a farcical B movie, but no, sadly, this is something that some intelligent adults actually believe to be true. Their notion is that a secret cabal of political opponents of Donald Trump and Hollywood elites torture children and extract a chemical from their bodies, which they then use as a recreational drug. Sadly I have heard of it, and so have a lot of other people, many of whom are firm believers. There's a good chance that you haven't heard about this particular conspiracy theory, and if that's the case, you have my eternal envy.
