overheard Didulo speak about her work in removing
the Chinese from Canada. The roommate insisted that
Didulo tell her more. Didulo told the roommate: “I
am the queen and Commander-in-Chief” and “if you
tell anyone I am going to have to kill you, and that is
not a joke.” According to Didulo, from then on, the
roommate referred to Didulo as “your Majesty.”
“David J Carlson” is not the only person Didulo claims
confirmed her legitimacy as leader of Canada. In July
2021, she formally welcomed “Whiplash347” to her
movement. She stated that he was the “first to make
calls (after her video went viral on the Internet) to
confirm her legitimacy in Canada.” WhipLash347,
whose identity is unknown, is a prominent member of
QAnon. He operates a Telegram channel with nearly
300,000 followers (Piper, Backovic, &Martin, 2022).
He claims to be closely connected to Donald Trump,
Elon Musk, and the deceased John F. Kennedy Jr.
(Piper, Backovic, &Martin, 2022). An investigation
by Logically revealed that WhipLash347 was one of
the two main Telegram hub channel leaders involved
in recruiting individuals to invest in fraudulent
cryptocurrency tokens described by experts as a “large
and well-organized Ponzi scheme” that netted the
scammers approximately two million dollars (Piper,
Backovic, &Martin, 2022). The nature of Didulo’s
affiliation and/or relationship with Whiplash347
remains unclear.
C. May 2021: Growing Popularity
By the end of May 2021, Didulo’s Telegram audience
had grown close to 20,000 followers. She added the title
“Sovereign” to her name (i.e., Sovereign Head of State
and Commander-in-Chief of the Sovereign Republic
of Canada), but later removed that label. At this time,
Didulo announced that Canada was withdrawing from
the United Nations, the World Health Organization
(WHO), and canceling all foreign aid. She frequently
encouraged her followers to begin preparations
for a global changeover to the Quantum Financial
System (QFS). QFS is a baseless QAnon conspiracy
theory (often referred to as NESARA/GESARA) that
purportedly will result in global debt forgiveness, and
all “fiat currency” cash being replaced with gold backed
currency (Backovic &Ondrak, 2020). This claim
eventually became the basis for a January 2022 decree
issued by Didulo stating that all debts “in the Kingdom
of Canada” would be forgiven, including credit card
debts, student loans, mortgages, and interest payments.
Didulo’s Telegram posts during this period were
focused on her belief that COVID-19 was a fake
illness designed by politicians to commit genocide.
Her followers were encouraged to not get vaccinated.
Didulo began threatening all individuals involved
in COVID-19 management and mitigation activities
(i.e., masking, social distancing, vaccination). She
repeatedly warned that anyone involved in COVID-19
activities/enforcement would be arrested for “crimes
against humanity,” and have their property, businesses,
or assets confiscated and seized. For instance, Didulo
was asked by one of her followers what should happen
to university presidents and deans who imposed
mandatory coronavirus vaccine requirements upon
students. Didulo responded that “these individuals will
be charged with crimes against humanity and sent to
a military tribunal where they will be tried and once
convicted will be hung or executed via firing squad.”
For their last meals, she says they would be allowed to
request a “strawberry milkshake” but no “gin and tonic.”
“Milkshake” references have become commonplace
coded language on her Telegram channels. Both Didulo
and her followers joke that individuals--whom they do
not like, wish to see arrested, jailed and/or executed-
-should be given their favorite flavor of “milkshake”
before their kingdom-sponsored deaths.
Didulo also claimed that she possesses the authority to
immediately stop vaccinations in Canada. To prove that,
Didulo created a multiple page cease-and-desist order
template that was posted on her Telegram channels. The
cease-and-desist order, she stated, was given upon the
request of the “Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed
Forces.” Followers, “digital soldiers,” were encouraged
to distribute as many orders as possible. Didulo’s stated
goal was to have the orders sent to every Fortune 500
company and all counties in the world. Followers were
instructed to use the signatory “We the People,” as that
language would automatically make them police/law
enforcement officers. Followers were encouraged to
post photos or videos of the places they have served
the orders. Many did, and continue to do so.
Followers were also told that serving the cease-and-
desist documents was helping to save people from
being sent to military tribunals. Those who stood in the
overheard Didulo speak about her work in removing
the Chinese from Canada. The roommate insisted that
