Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Rick Manz brought Qanon cult into tiny rural area of RICHMOUND, Canada, with 150 people.
Didulo’s cult moved into the town’s abandoned school around Sept. 18 after the property was gifted to them by a follower. They have spent much of the time filming anyone who comes too close to the school’s fence, convinced, according to records of their internal communication obtained by VICE News, that locals are possibly planning to poison their dogs or burn them out.
But their paranoia is contagious, as locals are really upset and concerned by the group, especially after some of Didulo’s followers emailed “cease and desist” letters threatening to execute townsfolk–including the mayor–if they didn’t accept the QAnon Queen as their new sovereign. One person who was threatened even made a faux electric chair to make fun of the threats.
The tiny village’s mayor Brad Miller took to Facebook Wednesday saying everyone is invited to their peaceful protest from noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Richmound has a population of about 147. It is about 445 kilometres west of Regina, and about 80 kilometres from Medicine Hat, Alta.
Didulo and her group have taken over an abandoned school. On Miller’s Facebook post he identifies Rick Manz as the owner of the property. Miller urges protesters, however, not to trespass on the property, which is fenced off.
Ricky Manz, 59, of Richmound has been charged with assault. Manz owns the abandoned school where QAnon’s Romana Didulo and her supporters are camped out. He is scheduled to appear in court in Leader on Nov. 16.
On Oct. 7, Leader RCMP received a report of an assault in Richmound. The police investigation determined there was an altercation between two men and one man assaulted the other one. No injuries were reported.
Leader RCMP, with the assistance of Saskatchewan RCMP’s General Investigation Section, investigated and as a result, on Oct. 11, Manz was arrested without incident in Richmound. Didulo and her followers are a bizarre sect, even in the ever strange world of QAnon. Didulo, a Filipino immigrant of unknown age, has managed to convince a sizable group of people that she’s not just the true “Queen of Canada,” but also, essentially, a spiritual figure. She has hundreds of followers across the country, tens of thousands online, and she travels with a small but loyal cohort who have given up their lives for her. Seeing another cop car, Hugh takes a sip of his craft beer and turns to us and says that no matter the police presence, it’s just dead around these parts.
“You can hear a mouse get a hard on out here,” he said. “Calm before the storm, I guess.”
But you can always spot a storm brewing in the Prairies. In Hugh’s case, it was just across the street, where the so-called QAnon Queen of Canada and her followers had taken over an abandoned school.
And in less than 24 hours, the town was ready to go to war with the cult next door.
