The organizer of the "God & Country Patriots Roundup"

That organizer’s name? QAnon John

Just months after dozens of QAnon followers took part in the Capitol insurrection, two major GOP figures are attending a huge QAnon conference in Dallas.

The “For God & Country Patriots Roundup” event, set for Memorial Day weekend, will feature a who’s who of QAnon celebrities, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn and “Kraken” lawyer Sidney Powell. Also speaking at the event will be sitting Texas congressman Louie Gohmert and Texas GOP chair Allen West.

But despite having a speaker lineup stacked with QAnon influencers, the event’s website doesn’t have a single mention of QAnon—and the organizer, John Sabal, claims the event isn’t a QAnon conference.

That claim might hold more weight if the event logo didn't feature a QAnon slogan, or if Sabal weren’t known online as “QAnon John.”

The event is taking place at two venues in Dallas, Gilley’s entertainment complex and the Omni Hotel, which is owned by the city of Dallas.

Neither venue responded to VICE News’ requests for comment, but it appears that officials in City Hall have no problem welcoming QAnon followers to their city.

“The City of Dallas is a welcoming city, bringing together people of many varied interests and ideas,” Catherine Cuellar, the director of communications for the city of Dallas, told VICE News in an emailed statement. “As always, we will do our best to ensure Dallas residents and guests attending this event are safe while in our city.”

1. Just stop calling them "QAnon"...use their REAL name

BIGOT BRIGADE

These people are nothing more than reheated John Birch Society, microwaved Tea Party or slightly reformed KKK grand wizards (or whatever the lowest rank is for that outfit of Emmy-Award winners...)

This is no more or less than a 'movement' animated by hate, fueled by racism and set loose on the public by cynical politicians like West and Gohmert and grifters like Flynn and Powell.

If there is a monetary angle to be used, these "organizers" are all over it.
If there is a foundational belief for these people, it is white supremacy and extending unearned privilege.

Just call a racist a racist, watch their heads explode in self-righteous anger and then hold that mirror on them steady... It should be a shameful act to attend these kind of rallies. It should end political careers. It should cost people status within their communities. It should be socially unacceptable. Anywhere it is not those things should be asking the people of those regions hard questions about the foundation of these movements.

Unless your stated goal is to find a better solution for ALL people and justice for the oppressed, then you should have no moral standing and no followers. The fact that they DO have followers breaks my heart.
