The far-right conspiracy theory retreat headlined by a former Donald Trump official in the Nevada desert called for executions of Trump supporters' enemies and proclaimed the former president to have been anointed by God to cleanse the land, reported the Los Angeles Times on Thursday.

"Helmed by retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn — a supporter of the former president and a key figure in efforts to overturn the 2020 election — and Clay Clark, an Oklahoma entrepreneur and podcaster, the whirlwind event melds the MAGA movement, election denial, QAnon conspiracy theories and doomsday prophecy," reported Sarah D. Wire.

Held in August right near Las Vegas, the two-day festival, billed as a church revival, "featured nearly 70 speakers who preached that vaccines are poisonous and will bring about the end of the world, that a cabal of global leaders is engaged in child sex trafficking and that the 2020 election was stolen."

The gathering, known as the ReAwaken America Tour, featured a number of extremist speakers, with Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft telling the crowd, "The No. 1 message I can share with you is you are right. Everything you believe is right," and radio host Stew Peters telling them, "When [Anthony Fauci] is convicted after a short and fast but thorough trial, he will hang up from a length of thick rope until he is dead. … When [Hunter Biden] is convicted … he will get … death!"

The QAnon movement, which makes up a core base of Flynn's event, believes America is controlled by a secret society of Satanic pedophiles who consume children's flesh, often linking in tropes that date back to the original Nazi movement.


The movement has several offshoots, with one influencer proclaiming herself the rightful Queen of Canada and converting an abandoned small-town school in Saskatchewan into a cult compound that has prompted action from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Flynn, who recently got himself barred from fellow Trump conspiracy theorist Lin Wood's bed-and-breakfast in a bizarre incident, has been increasingly active in apocalyptic conspiracy circles ever since he was fired from the early days of the Trump administration.
