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

Product Information

But it is one of those things where this meme that is sort of harmless actually has an extremely sinister origin. Ms Greene, who is no stranger to controversies, has a long list of problematic statements, including one in which she claimed 9/11 was an inside job.

Some of these crackpot theories are more pernicious than others, but at root each has the same poisonous combination of antisemitism, xenophobia and stupidity.

This book, dealing as it does with present-day political actors and conspiracies, is very much of its time. I liked this book and I did learn alot about the sickening history of antisemitism but this book was a bit dry. These groups are organized, and they're very clear in terms of their message trying to deny that Joe Biden won the election, and they're trying to engage an attempted coup, and they're doing this by any means necessary. Perhaps, Taylor Greene is being incredibly brave every time she spends time outside without a force field around her.

Sometimes “Space Lasers” moves through their genealogy with dizzying speed: In the course of one paragraph, we meet Mayer’s great-grandfather, grandfather and father, Amschel Moses, who “worked his way into becoming the court Jew to Crown Prince William … son of the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, one of the wealthiest states in the empire,” which largely made its fortune by renting out professional soldiers as foreign mercenaries.These comments made by our colleague from Georgia are not only false and nonsensical, but downright disrespectful. While a number of people have been understandably upset about Taylor Greene’s post, the absurdity of the space laser conspiracy theory about the wildfires did bring some interesting flames on social media. This was something I had once said in a sarcastic social media post years before I was elected," Greene wrote about her space laser comments in the book. Sure a stranger dressed as Mike Pence with a fly on his head could have used a jetpack to swoop into your room, snag the spanakopita, and made a quick getaway.
