Ex-member of QAnon's JFK-obsessed 'cult' details the 'ugly' reality of Dallas 'resurrection': Follower claims group started 'turning on each other' while their leader 'acted like Jesus Christ with people kissing his ring'

 An ex-member of the QAnon 'cult' that flocked to Dallas to 'see JFK Jr. come back to life' has lifted the lid on the 'ugly' reality of the 'resurrection' - claiming that followers nearly bankrupted themselves to be a part of the gathering, where kids and elderly people were left sleeping on the ground for hours while their self-appointed leader paraded around acting 'like Jesus Christ'. 

Devoted QAnon follower Maureen McNamara was one of hundreds of conspiracy theorists who traveled to Texas earlier this month to gather at the spot where John F. Kennedy was killed in 1963 under the instruction of a man named Michael Brian Protzman, who predicted that the former President's son, JFK Jr., was going to be resurrected. 

According to Protzman, the late JFK Jr. - who died in a plane crash in 1999 - was going to come back to life at 12:29pm, the same time that his father was killed, on November 2 and then announce plans to run for Vice President in 2024 alongside Donald Trump. 

Q members flew from all around the world and some of them even spent thousands of dollars to get there, McNamara alleged in an interview with Vice News. They waited for more than 16 hours on the street and refused to leave, calling the Texas city their 'promised land,' as Protzman continued to insist that JFK Jr. was about to re-appear at any moment.

But instead of the promised resurrection, McNamara says members experienced nothing but an agonizing wait, during which time they began turning on one another while Protzman gave out free T-shirts, had ' a little group around him kissing his ring', and continued to make empty promises about JFK Jr.'s supposed return.

'There were children sleeping on that ground. There were elderly people, there were people with walkers, people with canes, people that were in pain, in a lot of pain,' she said.

As the hours passed, she said Protzman kept telling his supporters that it was going to happen at any moment. He specifically told McNamara: 'Don't worry, you have the best viewing position there is, you won't miss a thing. You won't miss a thing. Keep your eyes open. You're right where you need to be right now.'

Nothing happened. At one point during the day, a rumor started to circulate that Princess Diana was going to appear in one of the nearby windows. Nobody appeared.  

But when everyone suddenly started to rush towards some of Protzman's advisors, McNamara raced through the crowd, excitedly hoping that the moment was finally here, only to be met with bitter disappointment moments later. 

Instead of the promised JFK return, members discovered that the excitement was all because they were being given free T-shirts -  which had Protzman's online alias, Negative48, printed on them.

'Everybody's scrambling to get one, like we flew all the way to Dallas and stood around for 16 hours so we could have a T-shirt,' she recalled.  

Throughout the long 16 hours that they spent standing on the street, McNamara said Protzman was 'acting like he was Jesus Christ.'

She said: 'He's acting like he's Jesus Christ with his disciples. Everywhere he went, there was this little group around him kissing this ring.'

People flew from all around the world and some of them spent thousands of dollars to get there. In the end, nothing happened - but Protzman did, however, give out free T-shirts

And things didn't end there. After JFK Jr. didn't show up at the AT&T plaza, Protzman told the group that he was going to appear at a Rolling Stones concert instead.

And although she was not a fan of the rock-and-roll group, McNamara decided to spend hundreds of dollars on some concert tickets.

'I was never a fan of the Rolling Stones, I had no intention of going there. But then last minute, everyone's saying you got to be there, you got to be there,' she explained.

'And so I spent $300 on tickets and it was raw and rainy and cold and miserable.' 

McNamara said in total, the trip cost her thousands of dollars - including flights, accommodations, food, etc. - and that she ultimately 'ran out of money' and had to head home.

'I know many people who won't now be able to afford Christmas, but it was more important for them to be there, or they don't know how they're gonna pay the next month's mortgage payment,' she added. 

'Many people make huge sacrifices financially, in their relationships, in their lives, just to be there.'

The Florida-native, who is a longtime QAnon supporter, explained that the main reason she decided to fly to Texas, was so she could meet more people like her. 

'What drew me in more than that was an opportunity to be with like-minded people, because everybody's story in this movement is that we've lost friends,' she explained.

'We've lost family, we've lost credibility, we've been isolated, we've been lonely and we've been called lots of different names, crazy among them.

'And so there was this opportunity suddenly to gather with like-minded people and that was what I wanted to do.' 

But when JFK Jr. once again didn't appear at the concert, McNamara had enough. And although others started to turn on Protzman too, many still remained loyal. 

'That is when the entire group just started turning on each other and it was ugly,' she said.

She now spends much of time calling Protzman out for his empty promises online, and has been branded a 'traitor' by the group.

A sibling of someone who is still a member of the group also spoke to the outlet, and they said that everything changed after their brother started watching Protzman's videos online.

'There were times where he would come over to [my sister's] place and say he’s just gotta get away from the computer for a little bit because his brain's just all over the place because he’s watching these videos, they’re so mesmerizing,' the family member, who asked to remain anonymous, said.

The videos they are referring to, which are posted on a platform called Telegram, show Protzman making predictions and theories based on his own interpretation of gematria - the ancient Jewish numerology code that assigns a numerical value to letters, words, and phrases, and translates them to create a new meaning.

JFK Jr., who was an actor and magazine publisher, is a popular figure within the movement, with some believing that he is in fact Q, the group's anonymous leader. 

More than a week has passed since the gathering first began, and Protzman and some of his loyal followers are still in Dallas waiting for JFK Jr. to return. There is even talk of them turning the spot into their permanent headquarters.

'I don't know how it will end, but I don't think it will end well. I'm glad that I am back in Florida, as far away from that as I can be,' McNamara concluded.
