"Conspiracy theories may explain why someone blew up the Georgia Guidestones
In September, I set out with a team to solve a mystery. We wanted to figure out who destroyed a strange monument in Elbert County called the Georgia Guidestones on July 6, 2022, and why.
That journey is the subject of 'Who Blew Up the Guidestones?' a six-part narrative audio series produced by Goat Rodeo and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
(. . .)
As we traveled down rabbit holes, through granite quarries and graveyards, and into fringe corners of the internet, something odd began to happen. The question at the heart of our investigation — 'Why did someone blow up the Guidestones?' — had morphed into a new question. I started to wonder, 'Why didn’t someone blow up the Guidestones sooner?'
It felt like every day reporting this story I would learn about a new conspiracy theory aimed at the enigmatic granite structure, sometimes referred to as 'America’s Stonehenge,' calling for its demise.
The monument was the source of so much intrigue that the 42-year history of the Georgia Guidestones is basically just a history of popular conspiracy theories over that same period. Whatever the conspiracy theory du jour, the Guidestones had a place in it. I soon came to see them as blank slates onto which each generation could project their own anxieties and fears.The details would vary, of course. The Georgia Guidestones were either satanic, extraterrestrial or otherwise sinister for some reasons I had trouble following. But the prescription was always the same: The stones must fall."

"Conspiracy theorists feed on distrust in institutions – the Epstein files will embolden them.
This age is already marked by a departure from the rational. Systemic failures to protect innocents and hold people accountable are adding even more fuel to the fire"

"Flat Earth, spirits and conspiracy theories — experience can shape even extraordinary beliefs
Why do people often adopt and develop beliefs that lack strong supporting evidence?
In a new review in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, I propose a simple answer. People come to believe in flat Earth, spirits and microchipped vaccines for the same reasons they come to believe in anything else. Their experiences lead them to think those beliefs are true.
Most social scientists have taken a different view on this subject. Supernatural beliefs, conspiracy theories and pseudoscience have struck researchers as totally impervious to contrary evidence. Consequently, they have assumed that experience is not relevant to the formation of those beliefs. Instead, they've focused on two other explanatory factors.
(. . .)
Extraordinary beliefs are not inherently good or bad. In particular, religious beliefs provide meaning, security and a sense of community for billions of people.
But some extraordinary beliefs are sources of serious concern: Misinformation about science and politics is rampant and immensely dangerous. By recognizing how those beliefs are shaped by experience, researchers can find better ways to combat their spread.
Just as importantly, though, my suggested perspective might encourage more compassion and kinship toward people who hold beliefs that seem very different from yours. They are not 'mad' or insincere. Like any other human being, they think the evidence is on their side."

'MANCHESTER, England — Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge argued Tuesday that that much of Nigel Farage’s “core support” comes from conspiracy theorists.'
'The shadow defense secretary went on: “One of the most extraordinary things I found is the link between people who are anti-vaxxers and pro-Putin for example"'

"The Rise of ‘Conspiracy Physics’
Streamers are building huge audiences by attacking academic physics as just another corrupt establishment.Scientists are starting to worry about the consequences.
The internet is full of people claiming to uncover conspiracies in politics and business. During the pandemic, public health experts and pharmaceutical companies became popular targets. Now an unlikely new villain has been added to the list: theoretical physicists.
In recent years, a group of YouTubers and podcasters have attracted millions of viewers by proclaiming that physics is in crisis. The field, they argue, has discovered little of importance in the last 50 years, because it is dominated by groupthink and silences anyone who dares to dissent from mainstream ideas, like string theory.Take Eric Weinstein, a podcaster and former managing director at Thiel Capital who coined the term 'intellectual dark web' In May, Weinstein appeared on Piers Morgan’s YouTube show to talk about Geometric Unity, his self-published theory of fundamental physics that claims to supersede Einstein and resolve some of the biggest mysteries in the universe, like what dark matter is made of."

A Czech film highlights Ukraine war conspiracy theories.
Can you change pro-Russian conspiracy theorists' minds?
Czech director Robin Kvapil tried, driving three of them to Ukraine, then filming the outcome.
The resulting documentary has been controversial.

QAnon Isn’t Dead. It Lives In the Heart of the Republican Party.
The bizarre, powerful conspiracy theory has been declared moribund many times over. But rather than dissipate, it went mainstream.
QAnon Isn’t Dead. It Lives In the Heart of the Republican Party.
The bizarre, powerful conspiracy theory has been declared moribund many times over. But rather than dissipate, it went mainstream.
Six years ago, shortly before Jeffrey Epstein died in his cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, news broke that the FBI had issued a bulletin warning of the potential threat posed by QAnon. At the time, QAnon was not widely understood. It appeared to be a complex jumble of conspiracy theories around which communities formed on social media, communities whose members believed they could help bring about the demise of a shadowy, powerful cabal controlling the world and, among other things, trafficking children for sex. QAnon was anticipating a climactic final battle—'the storm,' a violent reckoning cribbed from far-right anti-government texts and ideology—in which the cabal would be exposed, the deep state would be toppled, and believers’ enemies would be executed.
'The FBI assesses these conspiracy theories very likely will emerge, spread, and evolve in the modern information marketplace, occasionally driving both groups and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts,' the May 30, 2019 bulletin from the FBI’s Phoenix field office stated. It warned that as the 2020 election neared, QAnon could become more of a danger, intensifying in part due to 'the uncovering of real conspiracies or cover-ups involving illegal, harmful, or unconstitutional activities by government officials or leading political figures.' Just a couple of months later, Trump did in fact retweet a post from an account pushing QAnon conspiracy theories, such as those about Democrats trafficking children to harvest their pineal glands. The post that Trump shared, which merely alleged that Democrats 'are the only ones' to interfere in American elections, may have seemed tame compared to other QAnon posts at the time, which tended toward grotesque dreams of vengeance.
Today, six years after the FBI’s warning was made public, six years after Epstein’s death, we get jokes about how, now that Trump’s ties to Epstein are once again under scrutiny, even his one-time supporters like the QAnon Shaman—Jacob Chansley, an Arizona man made internationally famous on January 6 for his horned fur hat and bare chest, who led 'rioters in [an] incantation,' per the Justice Department—have abandoned him. Some are even celebrating an apparent crack-up in MAGA, once fueled by QAnon fantasies of exposing sex traffickers, over Trump’s failure to release the 'Epstein files.' Didn’t MAGA claim to care about sex traffickers operating with impunity? Doesn’t Trump now look like yet another elite operating with impunity? Trump appears to be cutting back major U.S. anti-trafficking efforts, diverting investigators to immigration enforcement—doesn’t it look like an awful lot like he never cared about sex trafficking?"

#DickDurbin, the top Dem on the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, pressed #KashPatel on appearances he made on a podcast hosted by #StewPeters. Peters has often expressed #antisemitic & #WhiteNationalist views.
Pressed by Durbin about why he has associated w/so many #extremists & #ConspiracyTheorists, Patel claimed he went on podcasts to take on people putting out #ConspiracyTheories in order to disabuse them of their false impressions & to talk to them about the truth. A flat-out #lie.

John Rustad gloats over his bolstered success having gained seats with stolen #BCUnited votes.
The only thing that’s changed in BC is the strategic conglomeration of hard right wing power through the forced capitulation/inheritance vote of the BC Liberals/United.
Imagine celebrating this shift of power after taking out an entire party just to garner more votes!
What’s truly shifted in BC is that now these questionably funded, cutthroat BC cons think they can get away with anything.
After threatening our democracy through secretive meetings and hidden agendas, BC Cons have shown us that even overtly stealing votes to win is now deemed acceptable in Canadian politics.
Their useful idiot base will vote for them no matter how underhanded, corrupt, conspiracy and culture war driven they are. Much easier to win when you have no votes to lose.
It’s a new game here in #BCpoli, with no holds barred politics devoid of ethics.
