“The government, media, and financial worlds in the US are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking operation”—that’s QAnon’s crazy idea, and 30 million Americans say they mostly agree. Chris Lehmann comments.

Also: Fintan O’Toole’s personal history of Ireland since the 1950s: how a country dominated by a corrupt Catholic church came to legalize gay marriage and abortion—by referendum. His much-honored ‘personal history’ of Ireland, titled We Don’t Know Ourselves, is out now in paperback.
