The Coming Storm

Radio 4, 11am

The most lasting image from

the storming of the Capitol in

January 2021 is of the man

draped in furs with horns on

his head, right, brandishing

a sign saying: “Q sent me.”

When Gabriel Gatehouse

first encountered this man

(Jake Angeli) two months

before the Capitol siege he

declined to interview him

(“a journalistic fail”). But it

makes a good starting point

for this investigation into

online conspiracies. It takes

Gatehouse into the world of

witch-hunts and the

15th-century Dominican Friar

Heinrich Kramer’s Malleus

Maleficarum, a dark fantasy

about witchcraft and satanic

conspiracy. Ben Dowell
