HILLARY Clinton has inadvertently fuelled a bizarre QAnon conspiracy theory that she is a satanist by sharing a photo from her study showing a book that features glass devils having sex.
'Erotics' by Italian glass artist Lucio Bubacco is one of several books seen propping up Clinton's laptop in the picture, which was posted earlier this week showing her recording her new podcast, 'You And Me Both'.
The hardcover 2018 book, which costs between $50 and $70, is said by one online seller to feature “carnavalesque orgies, crystalline incubi and erotic fantasies in glass”.
It features photographs of handmade glass devils posing in various positions, some of them sexual.
Hundreds of QAnon conspiracy theorists, who hold the debunked belief that President Donald Trump is battling an elite of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run the world, including Hillary and her husband Bill, have taken it as a sign that their baseless worldview is true.
Twitter user Miss Liberty, who spotted the book, posted: “I wonder why she would have a book by a satanic ‘erotic glass artist’?” Her post has now been liked and re-Tweeted thousands of times.
QAnon followers also think a 'Deep State' is operating within government, largely run by Democratic politicians and liberal-minded celebrities, which the president is trying to bring down.
The conspiracy theory has been linked to a number of violent incidents, such as the killing in New York of suspected mob boss Francesco Cali.
His 24-year-old accused killer Anthony Comello has claimed in court documents that he believed Cali was linked to the so-called Deep State and that he was acting under the protection of the president.
A user on the Q Research discussion board on the far-right 8kun site, which obsesses about the conspiracy theory, said of Clinton's picture: “Satanic glass maker, wow.”
Scores of other posts on 8kun also refer to the book.
The Q in QAnon is said to refer to an anonymous insider who has secret information about the Trump administration. The conspiracy theory began in 2017 and has since snowballed in popularity around the world.
Well-known figures who have repeated some of QAnon’s claims include actors Roseanne Barr and James Woods, ex-porn star Jenna Jameson and former national security adviser, Mike Flynn.
In 2018, Roseanne Tweeted an unsubstantiated claim that President Trump was breaking up child “trafficking rings in high places everywhere”.
James Woods, who has 2.6 million Twitter followers, posted a conspiracy this week about Joe Biden wearing a wire during his debate with the President.
On July 4th, Mike Flynn, the president’s first national security adviser, Mike Flynn, posted a video to Twitter that said, "Where we go one, we go all!”
Again, we are not making any unsubstantiated claims.
The alleged evidence speaks for itself.
And it's certainly interesting that the media isn't denying the presence of the book.
All they can do is bash "conspiracy theorists."
Think this is all just in our imagination?
Well, not according to International Business Times, a business publication that has even commented on the absolutely bizarre book and confirmed the story to be true.
Take a look:
Hillary Clinton has fueled the unfounded QAnon conspiracy theory that she is a Satanist after sharing a photo from her study on social media. On Tuesday, Clinton shared a photo of herself on Instagram about her new podcast, "You and Me Both." The image shows the former United States Secretary of State seated in front of a laptop wearing headphones and speaking into a microphone.
Book Features Glass Devils in Erotic Positions
Some QAnon conspiracy theorists noticed that one of the books being used to prop up Clinton's laptop was one that features glass devils having sex. The book, titled 'Erotics' by Italian glass artist Lucio Bubacco, is one of several books placed underneath the Macbook in the photo.
It turns out that the hardcover book was published in 2018 and retails between $50 and $70. The book is described by an online seller to feature biblical and carnevalesque iconography and crystalline incubi, which is plural for a demon in male form who, according to mythological and legendary traditions, lies upon sleeping women in order to engage in sexual activity with them.

The book features photos of handmade glass devils posing in various positions, many of them sexual, leading many to believe this is further confirmation that the former presidential candidate is a "satan-worshipper."
"I was astonished by the fact that Hillary Clinton would be so obvious about her preference for satan, wrote one user. "Yet there it was, on full display for the world to see."
What is the QAnon Conspiracy Theory?
This has further fueled the widespread but baseless far-right conspiracy theory that an elite group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run the world are involved in a global child sex-trafficking ring and are plotting against President Donald Trump, who is waging a war against them.
QAnon believers have speculated that this fight will lead to a day of reckoning where Hollywood A-listers, leading philanthropists, Jewish financiers and Democrat politicians such as Clinton will be arrested and executed.
