Why did it become associated with Qanon in the first place?
I have not seen it but my guess would be the pizza gate mess.
Nope that's not it.
So, most Qanon supporters believe in a conspiracy theory that the world's elites are running a child trafficking ring that kidnaps kids and tortures them in order to extract adrenochrome from them which is (and this part is real btw) a powerful drug with few to no side effects, but can basically only be extracted from living beings who are under extreme duress. I'm getting the impression that Tim Ballard and OUR are trying to both get the general public more incensed and outraged over child trafficking, and convince the Qanon supporters to at least support real child trafficking organizations, instead of just mouthing out about it on the internet.
The film itself isn't really tied to Qanon or anything. Jim Caviezel supports it, but that doesn't make the film any more connected to Qanon than the Mission Impossible films are to Scientology. In fact the plot of the movie doesn't align with the adrenochrome theory at all, focusing on children being trafficked into sex slavery. But there are many in the media who are secretly (or publicly) pro-pedophilia, and they've been trying to connect Qanon to the movie to make it look bad.
Adrenochrome is readily available for labs. People have tried taking it as a drug and the effects range from "nothing" to "sweating profusely with a severe headache"
