Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories

The lawmaker indicated she couldn’t clearly remember her 2018 Facebook post floating the idea, and also said she was largely ignorant about such issues then. When the special space boy remade Twitter in his image I made my account follow all the conspiracy handles that could find.

The top example of a conservative mischief-maker, presented in perfect symmetry, is Marjorie Taylor Greene. While Greene did not publicly promote the conspiracy theory using the exact phrase "Jewish space lasers," the controversy originated with a 2018 Facebook post from the Georgia Republican that did reference Jewish people and lasers from space. Worth reading for a number of reasons and does an incredible job of contextualizing how conspiracy became mainstream among the American right. Just over two years ago, Greene suggested in a Facebook post that wildfires in California were not natural.Tom Emmer, chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee: “We don’t support any hate-driven conspiracy theories. You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold. It was into this contradiction, a well-heeled family lending money to one of the wealthiest states in the Holy Roman Empire while simultaneously living in squalor as near prisoners, that Mayer Amschel Rothschild was born,” we learn. These comments made by our colleague from Georgia are not only false and nonsensical, but downright disrespectful.

In the now-deleted Facebook post, Greene said there were "too many coincidences to ignore" with the fire, claimed there had been laserbeam sightings, and speculated that a vice chairman at "Rothschild Inc, international investment banking firm" was involved.Rothschild’s book demonstrates that much can be accomplished by laying out available historical data. I think Mike Rothschild was very lucky that a particular Congresswoman said something about Jewish Space Lasers while he was writing this book, because this title really makes this book seem like it will be an exploration into ridiculous antisemetic conspiracy theories.

is a massive 1978 tome by white supremacist William Gayley Simpson, who wrote that Jews were plotting to overthrow Western culture and civilization. When I started writing about conspiracy theories, I started to notice that I would get these comments like, “A Rothschild debunking conspiracy theories, Matrix moment,” stuff like that.

Journalist and conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild, who isn’t related to the family, sorts out myth from reality to find the truth about these conspiracy theories and their spreaders. How many lives could have been saved if he instead had focused on controlling the spread of the virus? Mayer and his oldest son, Amschel, became crown agents of Holy Roman Emperor Franz II, while his other sons, Nathan and Jakob (who later went by James), expanded the family textile business and protected “business against plunder by the forces of Napoleon,” respectively. As the world fills with ignorance and hatred, Jewish Space Lasers reminds us that there is no such thing as a benign conspiracy theory; and Rothschild, whose previous book was laser-focused on QAnon, has the expertise to tell this story.
