An AR-15-owning QAnon acolyte caught with armor-piercing bullets drove from Wisconsin to Washington, D.C. on March 3 and told U.S. Capitol Police officers that he was maybe going to do something crazy stupid tomorrowthe day followers of the discredited conspiracy theory falsely believed former President Donald Trump would re-assume the presidency, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Mar. 19 in federal court.
Ian Alan Olson, who made the 800-mile trip in a 2016 Subaru festooned with QAnon slogans, told a soldier on duty outside the Capitol that he was going to test the National Guard tomorrow to see if they were loyal to the people or to the President, that he was willing to die to fulfill this mission, and that his actions would unite eight billion people, the complaint says.
If he ended up getting shot by the National Guard, Olson contended, he would know the Guard was loyal to President Joe Biden. If the National Guard didnt shoot him, Olson claimed he would then know the Guard was loyal to the citizenry. He explained that he would be taken over by the Spirit of Christ and lead the people to unity, the complaint states, and that things can only be resolved by the barrel end of a gun.
Central to the QAnon conspiracy theory is the false belief that the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles and child-traffickers (allegedly largely comprised of prominent Democratic politicians, so-called Deep State government employees, journalists, and Hollywood elite) and that President Trump is secretly working with Q and others to take down the cabal, says an affidavit attached to the complaint and signed by FBI Special Agent Justin Mosiman of the Milwaukee Field Offices Joint Terrorism Task Force. Many QAnon adherents (known as Anons) refer to themselves as digital soldiers and believe they are engaged in an epic battle between good and evil and darkness and light. Following the Nov. 3, 2020 election, many prominent QAnon adherents exhorted the Anons to trust the plan, believing that President-Elect Bidens victory was illusory and part of a convoluted plan by [an anonymous government official named] Q and others to reveal the crimes of the cabal to the world, resulting in President Trump securing a second term.
