The last blatant anti-semitic conspiracist who's ideas still hold sway seems to be William Carr who promoted the 3 world wars theory in the 1950's. Since him, they got more sneaky with tricky rhetoric, similar to what the southern strategy did with the Republican rhetoric. But Trump has definitely given them courage to be more blatant with it.

Papers have shown that LSD is crap when it comes to a truth-serum, I've done it more than I care to admit, more than a hundred times, and the situations they would put those people in with some annoying psychiatrist constantly questioning you would have caused me to bad trip and want them to STFU. They got much better results from barbiturates and the earliest benzos (Librium, Valium) for that purpose, both developed in the 50's. I know I could yap away on the only barb available anymore that's in my tension headache pills, Fiorinals with codeine (aspirin,butalbital,caffeine,codeine) and thst's considered weak crap by the oldsters who had the good stuff like Seconals and Tuinals for their insomnia, they removed em in late 2004, I had one Seconal in 2002 and it will get you talking like a drunk then pass out after 30 minutes or less heh

Let the record show that QAA endorses antisemitism

From what I gather, Jones does claim that he knows the reason why and it does mesh with his whole bizarre worldview. Essentially he thinks the idea is mutate/brainwash everyone into some sort of unmanly Marxist slave. It's the same way that he thinks vaccines are intended to damage childrens' brains. Basically he thinks that someone with a healthy brain and genes can see all these supposed connections clearly and can resist the brainwashing of the Illuminati or whatever, so every actual health concern is, in his mind, some attempt to literally pollute the biology of people. Also, it's not explicitly white supremacist, but the fact that it involves an obsession with strength stemming from "pure" genes and biology means that it lends itself really well to crossing over with white supremacy, like what you were talking about earlier with the immigrant obsession.

Felix, this is the smartest thing I've ever heard you say. What is your academic focus?

Matt Christman joins us to discuss the relationship between conspiracy theories and political movements on the left. We also try to answer the question: is QAnon a far-right extremist movement? Travis has read J.M. Berger's "Extremism" and attempts to apply its principles to QAnon. Gay frogs, Operation Midnight Climax and Jake's allergies — we give them all equal attention in this flat media landscape.
