Its messaging can seem cryptic, even nonsensical, yet for tens of thousands of people, it explains everything: What is QAnon, where did it come from, and is the Capitol insurgency a sign of where it’s going next? Mike Rothschild, a journalist specializing in conspiracy theories, has been collecting their stories for years, and through interviews with QAnon converts, apostates, and victims, as well as psychologists, sociologists, and academics, he is uniquely equipped to explain the movement and its followers.

What if you woke up one morning and found you’d acquired another self—a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? What if that double shared many of your preoccupations but, in a twisted, upside-down way, furthered the very causes you’d devoted your life to fighting against? Not long ago, the celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience—she was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who.

Story
At the height of the John Birch Society’s activity in the 1960s, critics dismissed its members as a paranoid fringe. After all, “Birchers” believed that a vast communist conspiracy existed in America and posed an existential threat to Christianity, capitalism, and freedom. But as historian Matthew Dallek reveals, the Birch Society’s extremism remade American conservatism. Most Birchers were white professionals who were radicalized as growing calls for racial and gender equality appeared to upend American life.

Before and even after our troops had begun fighting abroad in World War II, a clandestine network flooded the country with disinformation aimed at sapping the strength of the U.S. war effort and persuading Americans that our natural alliance was with the Axis, not against it.

For almost three decades, Fox News has not only made political careers (see: President Donald J. Trump) but also fundamentally altered the political landscape of the United States. It is a truism: as Fox goes, so goes the nation—into further divisiveness and awash in fake news, a gleefully polarizing company. But just as Fox has pushed America apart, now it too is coming apart. As is the family dynasty behind it.

Instagram feeds that had been serving up green smoothie recipes and Mary Oliver poems became firehoses of Fox News links, memes from 4chan, and prophecies of global transformation.

The ongoing criminal trials of Donald Trump are also a trial for the nation he once led.

In Network of Lies, New York Times bestselling author Brian Stelter answers these questions by weaving together private texts, unpublished emails, depositions, and other primary sources to tell the chilling story of Trump’s alleged conspiracy to steal the 2020 election, and the right-wing media’s mission to put him back in office in 2024.

The January 6th attack is an unprecedented crime in American history. Sprawling and openly political, it can't be handled by the traditional rules and norms of law enforcement—threatening the very idea of justice and its role in society. A mass of online tipsters—"sedition hunters"—have mobilized, simultaneously providing the FBI with valuable intelligence. In this work of extraordinary reportage, Ryan Reilly gets to know would-be revolutionaries, obsessive online sleuths, and FBI agents, and shines a light on a justice system that's straining to maintain order in our polarized country.

In Democracy Awakening, Richardson crafts a compelling and original narrative, explaining how, over the decades, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American ideals. By weaponizing language and promoting false history they have led us into authoritarianism -- creating a disaffected population and then promising to recreate an imagined past where those people could feel important again. She argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation’s true history that marginalized Americans have always upheld.

From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects for third consecutive election in 2022. His legal troubles are mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Today’s Republican party is not a “normal” political party in the American tradition. It has become an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. As Stuart Stevens argues in The Conspiracy to End America, if we look away from that truth, we greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip away, never to return.

Publisher's summary
The strange tale of how one Jewish family—the Rothschilds—became a lightning rod for conspiracy theories over the course of the last two centuries . . .
In 2018 Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to share her suspicions that the California wildfires were started by 'space solar generators' which were funded by powerful, mysterious backers. Instantly, thousands of people rallied around her, blaming the fires on "Jewish space lasers" and, ultimately, the Rothschild family.
For more than 200 years, the name "Rothschild" has been synonymous with two things: great wealth, and conspiracy theories about what they're "really doing" with it. Almost from the moment Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his sons emerged from the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt to revolutionize the banking world, the Rothschild family has been the target of myths, hoaxes, bizarre accusations, and constant, virulent antisemitism. Over the years, they have been blamed for everything from the sinking of the Titanic, to causing the Great Depression, and even creating the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jewish Space Lasers is a deeply researched dive into the history of the conspiracy industry around the Rothschild family.
Critic reviews
"With solid research and engaging humor, this book takes apart the conspiracy theories surrounding the Rothschild family."—Kirkus Reviews

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

At the height of the John Birch Society’s activity in the 1960s, critics dismissed its members as a paranoid fringe. After all, “Birchers” believed that a vast communist conspiracy existed in America and posed an existential threat to Christianity, capitalism, and freedom. But as historian Matthew Dallek reveals, the Birch Society’s extremism remade American conservatism. Most Birchers were white professionals who were radicalized as growing calls for racial and gender equality appeared to upend American life.

And he tells a family saga, tracing the importance of unity and the profound role of Judaism in the lives of a dynasty that rose from the confines of the Frankfurt ghetto and later used its influence to assist oppressed Jews throughout Europe.

People, possibly, like you. It is the comedian and writer David Baddiel’s contention that one type of racism has been left out of this fight. In his unique combination of close reasoning, polemic, personal experience and jokes, Baddiel argues that those who think of themselves as on the right side of history have often ignored the history of anti-Semitism.

The stuff of conspiracy theories makes for great, entertaining stories in movies, books, and television. And there is no shortage of subjects: from who really killed JFK to the truth behind 9/11. And then, there are subjects from alien invasions to the Moon landing was simulated - theories that are truly out of this world, which according to some, is flat. Many of these crazy concepts have jumped off the pages or screens to become so pervasive in our culture that thousands - even millions - subscribe to them as reality.

A delightful read that gives critical insight
Listening to this book's excellent analysis of how washed out political conspiracy performers like Alex Jones behaves in their assignment of blatant anti-semitism, and then immediately hearing the pundit himself trying to disparage this book by relying on the same misinformation the author describes is a treat. it is as if the author revealed a 200-year-old coloring book for generations of grifters, who then tried to poorly stay in the lines and declare themselves a visionary while blaming the quality of the crayons on their Jewish neighbors.
Any right wing policy wonk worth their salt would do well to stay clear of even recognizing this book's existence, for even a gullible follower that can read would fall prey to disillusionment. Such is the sheer weight of facts and logic presented in this book

Overall well done, but strays off course
Personally, I think the book would’ve been better if it focused on antisemitic stereotypes , tropes, and conspiracy theories in general. It would have been more powerful and pertinent.
Instead, it was an anthology of conspiracy theories about one rich Jewish family in particular, the Rothschilds. Technically this was noted in the subtitle, but I missed it when purchasing the audiobook.
I liked the story overall, however my 3-Star overall rating is because the author goes off the tracks at the end. He generally uses the final chapters of the book to attack Presidents Bush, Trump, the Tea Party, the Republican Party, and Conservatives in general. He failed to establish a convincing link between these groups and the Rothschilds, the supposed topic of the book, and instead engaged in one-sided political grandstanding. Of course, there are fringe minorities amongst political conservatives who harbor antisemitic views and conspiracy theories, but these are far from mainstream.
Interestingly, since the Hamas attack against Israel during Simchat Torah on 10/7/2023, most worldwide antisemitism has been concentrated of the LEFT side of the political aisle, with Conservatives generally the most supportive of Israel and Jews worldwide. Although this had not happened at the time of the book’s writing, it was a surprise to very few who follow the trajectory of politics.
Finally, he devotes an inordinate amount of time to telling the story of George Soros, and conspiracy theories about him. Last I checked, he is not a Rothschild, so why include this? Of course, again, liberal politics. If he was going that route, again the book should have been about antisemitism in general.
Besides these problems, the book’s beginning was sound, informative, and entertaining.

An amazing book that does a rather thorough examination of a family as well as the impossible web of conspiracy that has grown up around them. I do agree with the thesis of the book more than I would like to admit: facts do not matter to the people who believe the outlandish because they want the outlandish to be true

Required Reading
I highly recommend this book. It’s a fascinating walk through history, to the current day. The world of conspiracy theories and antisemitism, is of course not new, but the speed by which it all now travels, is alarming. I listened to it in 2 days and found myself riveted by it. I learned so many things and will wait a week or two and listen to it again. There is still so much to learn. Jon Vertullo’s narration was powerful. Thank you.
