“Through exhaustive research, personal interviews, and a critical yet at times appropriately empathetic approach, Anna Merlan has written a captivating book that illuminates the landscape of conspiracy theories.”
- New York Magazine
“An entertaining taxonomy of toxic ideas.”
- Herald
“A rock-steady narrator with a ready command of history, nerves of steel, and incisive social insights. We need a thousand of her, or a million.”
- The Nation
From UFOs to the New World Order, the inside story of how conspiracy theories won over America.
In November 2017, a serial climate change denier and anti-vaxxer was elected President of the United States. The rise of Donald Trump marked the beginning of a new American epoch: the age of the conspiracy theorist.
Now, Anna Merlan goes undercover in America’s sprawling network of conspiracy theorists. She meets the UFOlogist who claims to have travelled to Mars with Barack Obama. She chats with the ‘pizzagate’ truthers who think Washington, DC’s favourite pizzeria is run by a satanic paedophile ring. And she bumps into Alex Jones, the YouTuber who thinks the state is using chemical warfare to turn the population gay.
Merlan reveals a world of propaganda lying just beneath the surface of US culture. It might just help explain the political turmoil of our time.

Trash

Thanks

Well, yes, it’s distressing that conspiracy theories have become so pervasive, and so influential in society as a whole. But when you think about it: church attendance is plummeting.
And it’s the same folk as used to go to church who are following QAnon, or the AntiVax lobby, or Joseph Strickland: low-achievers, bigots, the uneducated, Republicans.
On balance, I think I’d rather have a conspiracy-theorist than a person of faith;- conspiracy theories tend to just taint one or two beliefs.
Of course, it would be sweet to be shot of the whole pack.
November 22nd, 2023
Thanks for the share..well said pryderi

The way debunkers talk about “the dangers conspiracy culture” is itself a conspiracy theory.
November 23rd, 2023
Trump an anti-vaxxer? That’s ridiculous. He couldn’t stop patting himself on the back over Operation Warp Speed even in the face of his many covid vax sceptic supporters. If you can’t even get basic details correct, the rest of your book goes in the trash.

Conflation is a terrible thing …
November 23rd, 2023
this book is more garbage. It just a cash grab for the TDS crowd to tell themselves their world view is not crumbling around themselves.
November 23rd, 2023
@Pryderi Sure you probably believed that Trump stole the 2016 election with the Russians help……so welcome to the conspiracy Theorists club😁

“When I was growing up, autism wasn’t really a factor,And now all of a sudden, it’s an epidemic … My theory is the shots. We’re giving these massive injections at one time, and I really think it does something to the children.”
[Donald Trump in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel]
Donald Trump was an anti-vaxxer until he was calling the shots. He still is, now that he isn’t anymore.

I could use a good Comedy

Thank pryderi for the useful Trump quote.

@pryderi
Your critical thinking needs work. That is scepticism of the current vaccine schedule, not an objection to vaccination in general. The fact that his position differed when he was “calling the shots” makes that plain.
If I object to handing out opioids for minor pain am I now anti-opioid? If I object to binge drinking am I anti-alcohol?

this is seriously dangerous copium for the most provably dangerous cult that ever existed on earth: far left statists. the state is empirically the leading cause of death in the 20th century (democide) and if you cannot even address that, you are a collaborator and conspirator to mass genocide. It is time we went on the offensive against this severe mentally ill cohort that cannot face the evils of the world and thereby perpetuates them. Look at what happened to Gaza recently as just one example, that is on the statists.

“In November 2017, a serial climate change denier and anti-vaxxer was elected President of the United States.”
Pretty funny that it doesn’t even get the year Zion Don was elected right, but I’m sure most of this book is accurate.
There are certainly very, very real conspiracies, but - especially in the internet era - there are even more with no merit. Pizzagate is absurd, but the Franklin Scandal and Epstein being a Mossad operative, not so much.
November 24th, 2023
Didn’t two self-proclaimed “Pizzagate” debunkers
actually get caught. Slade Schomer and Peter Bright, aka Dr. Pizza. S Homer got caught with CP and accused of raping a toddler. Bright for soliciting a 7 and 9 year old.

Potty, there is something downright obsessive and conspiratorial about your fascination with this kind of book. One after the other, after the other.
I have never seen a person (potty) so interested in these books that are all trying to debunk a very specific set of ‘conspiracy theories’.
Specific subjects and specific people. Over and over again
One book after the other trying to establish authority over what is true and what they say is not, all pertaining to a very specific time in history.
Why such a concerted effort to tell you what is not true? Most people are excited to tell you what is true. There is something very bizarre about this obsession with debunking these specific political narratives.
It staggering to see just how much time and energy is being spent trying to dissuade people from a certain narrative.
It’s like, “The lady doth protest too much” I hope I used that right.
There is no similar cannon of work trying to debunk other things that are also considered ‘Conspiracies’. Not even close as it turns out.
And how many books does one person need to read on the matter?
I won’t pretend to know how many books like this are out there total but you have shared unbelievable amount just on this site. Who needs so many books telling them what is not?
What are you trying so hard to convince, or dissuade yourself from believing and don’t you think it is strange to have so many books talking about the exact some thing?
And what is not true concerning a very specific set ‘wrong-think?
It does strike me as odd, not in what a book like this talks about, but why there are so many books all trying to convince you of these pro-establishment narratives. It is starting to look like very desperate 5th gen warfare.
Too each her own

WOW. I have to admit when I see the SantaFart handle, I never try to read his drivel. But Wow, just wow.
This time, old herpes breath, is trying to start a “Conspiracy to stop conspiracies on books about conspiracies.” Talk about a Brain Dead Trumpian.
Dr Dick even thinks popty_ping (Welsh) is promoting the conspiracy. But I suppose if you believe in Trump! - Well yes. I believe that statement does not require finishing.

@pryderi
I am not a Trump lover. In fact I think he is a criminal hiding behind his money. BUT. His point regarding vaccination and children. I was lucky, many of my era were not.
Trump like myself must remember Spinabithada, and remember the nightmares that vaccinations caused.
Many kids in my street didn’t have legs or arms, Just deformed stumps with misshapen fingers or flippers.

You’ll lose 25 IQ points for listening to this.

Delf–you sound every bit as disgusting, depraved, and unattractive as you must be to behold in the flesh. Do us a favor and close your legs when you write.

Look at the cultees throwing their tantrums for their orange lord and savior. lmfao you clowns

Amazing book! The 1 stars are from the brainwashed who have bought into these ridiculous conspiracies and larps.

Answer me ONE SIMPLE QUESTION,
WHO OWNS THE MEDIA?
Is that a legitimate question?
Or some kind of crazy conspiracy theory?
Its too powerful to be owned by “nobody”.
WHO is DISPORPORTIONAATELY REPRESENTED, in every aspect of ownership and control over the content of it?
We can work backwards and list everybody who is NOT.
Answer that one simple question,
and then we can debate who is in a PRIMARY position to disseminate misinformation, and get away with it.
