QAnon Supporter Resurrects JFK Jr.’s Magazine George and Puts Trump’s Face on the Cover

In the mid-Nineteen Nineties, probably the most fashionable magazines round was George, a month-to-month based by John F. Kennedy Jr. that targeted on politics and pop-culture, and featured huge, shiny photographs of celebrities on its covers. After Kennedy died in a plane crash in 1999, nevertheless, the journal went downhill and in the end ceased publication in 2001.

Well, it seems that George is again from the lifeless. Unfortunately, it has been resurrected by a QAnon conspiracy theorist, Gene Ho, who appears to wish to give it a radical MAGA makeover.

In February, Vice reported that previous problems with George had been promoting for large bucks on eBay as a result of QAnon supporters had satisfied themselves that it held cryptic messages important to the Q conspiracy. Some supporters additionally apparently imagine that JFK Jr. is still alive and has been displaying up at QAnon conferences in disguise…make of that what you’ll. Anyway, it now seems that Ho, who beforehand served as Trump’s photographer through the 2016 presidential election (he calls it “TRUMPography”) and has expressed his help for the Q motion, desires to formally revive the journal.

You can try the bizarre abomination by touring to GeorgeOnline.com. The website encompasses a video introduction from Ho, who says he’ll function editor, and who desires you to know that the journal’s reboot goes to be a very good time: “We’re gonna talk politics! We’re gonna talk religion! We’re even gonna talk business! We’re gonna have a lot of fun!” Ho then directs guests to present him their electronic mail tackle so he can ship “a sneak peak on everything that’s going on.” I positively wish to know all the things that’s occurring, so I joined the George mailing listing however nonetheless haven’t acquired a “sneak peak” but, or perhaps a verification electronic mail that I’ve been added to their listing.

Ho additionally seems to have stamped Donald Trump’s huge, blockish face throughout the primary situation of the reboot (you’ll be able to see an image of the journal cowl on the web site), although it’s unclear how and the place you will get ahold of the particular journal. A giant advertisement for the supposed reboot was additionally paid for in Times Square on Wednesday, additionally that includes the picture of Trump.

Even if Ho is serving because the editor, it’s not completely clear who legally owns the journal at this cut-off date. The Daily Beast reports {that a} “Florida company called Retrobrands USA applied for what appears to be the only existing magazine-related “George” trademark, based on a search of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.” However, the outlet additionally notes that no matter “remains of the original George’s assets appears to rest with the Hearst media conglomerate, which purchased George’s parent company in 2011,” so it’s not precisely clear who’s in cost right here.

Gizmodo reached out to Ho for extra particulars on George and can replace this story if he responds. We additionally reached out to Hearst with an inquiry in regards to the journal.
