So as we’re all here, puzzling over the moment an apparent LaRouche activist used Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal to troll @AOC, it might be a good moment for me to list Lyndon LaRouche’s ten most insane conspiracy theories, just so it’s clear who they are.
1) The Queen controls the international drugs trade, to fund the British Empire, which still rules the world in secret.
2) The Queen, Obama and the Duke of Edinburgh plotted to reduce the world’s population to 1 billion by starting a nuclear war. (Obama very much the junior partner in this.)
3) The Beatles were part of the British Empire’s psychological war against the USA. (HMQ in on this, too...)
4) Vice President Nelson Rockefeller planned to use the CIA and its network of secret brainwashing clinics to turn America into a giant workcamp full of zombie labourers.
This plan involved the KGB, MI5, poet Stephen Spender, and a school in Camden where the children were just photographs. Covered in all its mind-boggling detail in my book Operation Chaos. amazon.co.uk/Operation-Chao…
5) Hitler was a British agent.
6) The redoubtable journalist @FrancisWheen was involved in a conspiracy with the Unabomber and Jacob Rees-Mogg’s father. This one goes on forever but Francis knows the details.
7) Noam Chomsky tried to blow up New York with an atomic bomb.
8) The Tavistock institute in London runs a network of secret agents who can be recognised by a special and distinct grin.
Now the not so funny ones.
9) Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was also in league with the CIA to brainwash the citizens of Sweden. Swedish LaRoucheans were so extreme in their views several were questioned by detectives investigating Palme’s assassination in 1986.
That article, by the way, is by William Engdahl, a conspiracy theorist blogger who was successfully sued for libel by Melania Trump.
10) When the British student Jeremiah Duggan lost his life in mysterious circumstances after attending a LaRouche group in Germany, Tony Blair used his death as part of a black propaganda campaign.
A mad slur, of course. I attended the latest inquest on the case, at which a narrative verdict was recorded. google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg…
If you want to donate to the campaign in his name, the details are here. It would be some way of ameliorating all the awfulness that LaRouche’s ideas have brought into the world. justiceforjeremiah.yolasite.com

At @reformparty_uk with @antisempolicy. @NatashaC an excellent moderator. The empty chair belongs to @TiceRichard, who sent his apologies. We've done this event at Lib Dems, Labour and Tories, but nobody has ever put their hand up to say they believe in conspiracy theories.
Today we had two who did (a third walked out before the end of the event). One asked if we thought central bank digital currencies had been planned since 1913. I *think* this was a version of the ideas in Edward Griffin's Creature from Jekyll Island. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Edward…
Another gentleman said he was worried about Klaus Schwab controlling our politicians, and about the Agenda 2030 plan to introduce "fifteen minute cities". Agenda 2030 does not mention them. The nearest it gets:
Well, they finally said it out loud. Today’s Neil Olver video, hidden online from @ofcom, is the @GBNews version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. There is a generations-long plot by “Zionist-type people” to destabilise Christian societies using a secret army of migrants.
The guest, Ivor Cummins, says that perhaps for millennia, a "tribe" has tried to create a global totalitarian state. Today they do this through NGOs “headed up by a certain type of people you’re not allowed to discuss … you know, the Zionist thing … Zionist type people.”
He says that Ireland has been targeted by these silent invaders because it is pro-Palestine. Neil Oliver agrees and suggests – I kid you not – that this cabal – whose members include Soros, Rockefellers & Swiss banks - want to “snuff out” Irish dancing to demonstrate their power.
This is the Lush looter from Hull. Plead guilty today. And apparently an active member of the far right - as he’s a standard bearer for Alek Yerbury, aka “Hull Hitler”.
I've been aware of Honey since I saw these posts in a far-right Telegram group called Hotels Housing Illegals. Here he is with the Fascist flash suggesting killing migrants with crossbows.
Not sure whose palace they’re going to storm. Maybe there’s a clue in this tweet Neil liked today claiming Obama is a gay Manchurian Candidate brainwashed in Moscow to bring Communism to America, kill Trump and end American PTA meetings for his, um, globalist masters.
Lots of people signing up for a place with Neil and the Freds on the barricades. Like Deborah who thinks the Rothschilds rule the world.
Well @GBNEWS presenter kicked off Twitter. Wonder what he did?
Well @brenkelly30 knows. Patrick Christys has been making violent threats. And there was me thinking than on the Elon Musk version of this site you can get away with anything.
Suppose Patrick will now have to make do with the carefree gaiety of his Facebook fan club page.
Tinfoil News. @GBNEWS presenter and anti-vax conspiracy influencer @beverleyturner is urging us to watch a deranged video by Richard Hall, the man currently being sued by the bereaved families of Manchester stadium bombing for saying it was a hoax and their kids didn’t really die
On a real news channel this would cause a scandal, but the overlap between conspiracy subculture and @GBNEWS staff is so great that I can only assume that execs like @frangopoulos and @MickBooker consider it their USP.
