Dan Friesen of Knowledge Fight returns to talk bright spots, fixing the world and Alex Jones — starting with KF's recent episode on the story of InfoWars caller Kelly Rushing (#1041: listen on or your podcast app!) and how it illustrates so much about Alex Jones and the media ecosystem he inhabits, plus what Alex and Cenk Uygur have in common, an update on the state of the Sandy Hook settlements, The Onion's brief involvement and much more.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Andy Hunter. We bring you the thrilling conclusion of our look at John DeCamp, the disgraced former politician/conspiracy monger who sued the games industry following the Columbine shooting. We look at John's associations with some very fine people and how he tried to get to the bottom of a bunch of other conspiracies leading into his massive suit against violent video games. Topics discussed include: John's nigh infinite supply of secret information on essentially every conspiracy, the surely gripping conversations between John DeCamp and Dave Grossman, and video games gain free speech protection thanks to an unlikely hero. On the relationship of Qanon, the militia movement, and the January 6, 2021, insurrection, check out: Gia Kokotakis, "Into the Abyss: QAnon and the Militia Sphere in the 2020 Election," George Washington University's GW Program on Extremism, March 28, 2023, https://extremism.gwu.edu/into-the-abyss-QAnon-in-US.  Some resources on identifying conspiracy theories and what to do if you or someone you care about is falling into conspiracies:"Conspiracy Theories and How to Help Family and Friends Who Believe Them," Anti Defamation League, August 23, 2022, https://www.adl.org/conspiracy-theories. Stephen Lewandowsky and John Cook, The Conspiracy Theory Handbook, March 2020, https://skepticalscience.com/conspiracy-theory-handbook-downloads-translations.html.We'd also be remiss if we didn't recommend Natalie Wynn's March 24, 2025, video, simply titled "CONSPIRACY" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teqkK0RLNkI. Also, the two podcasts we mentioned today:Knowledge Fight: https://knowledgefight.com/. QAA Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qAmVJsQW0k51ZJ9bDZyZd. More info, including show notes and sources at http://scandalousgamespodcast.wordpress.com.

Hello Initiates! In today's episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Mike Wendling, a national digital reporter for the BBC who specializes in covering disinformation and conspiracy theories.Mike shared some truly eye-opening insights from his experiences investigating far-right extremist groups in the US. We delved into the complex web of conspiracy theories surrounding major events and how they're exploited to politically radicalize people.It was sobering to hear how fringe ideas, once confined to the darkest corners of the internet, are now being laundered into mainstream political talking points by media pundits and elected officials alike. Mike's firsthand accounts of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers revealed the contradictory nature of these groups.This episode highlighted the critical need for responsible journalism to combat the insidious spread of disinformation in our society. Be sure to check out Mike's book "Day of Reckoning" for a deep dive into the rise of the alt-right.As always, we appreciate you tuning into "Some Dare Call It Conspiracy."

Hello Initiates! Apologies for the delay, we've been experiencing some technical difficulties... it must be that pesky Illuminati trying to silence us! lolAnyway, thanks for your patience and support!Here is a brand new episode: Turning Chaos Into Comedy The Barney Farmer (VIZ) InterviewIn this insightful episode of "Some Dare Call It Conspiracy," host Neil Sanders chats with Barney Farmer, the creative mind behind iconic characters like the Drunken Bakers and Male Online. The conversation dives deep into the roots of his satirical work, the changing landscape of conspiracy theories, and the fine line between edgy comedy and offensive material.Male Online: Inspired by RealityBarney Farmer shares that the inspiration for his character Male Online came from reading the polarizing comments on The Daily Mail website. He observed older right-wing activists sharpening their skills online, embodying a raw, unfiltered form of social commentary.Drunken Bakers: From Pub Observations to Comic StripsFarmer recounts how experiences at a pub and a pie shop laid the groundwork for his despondent yet relatable characters in "Drunken Bakers." Despite the bleak environment of the north, the humor struck a chord with readers, blending wit with melancholy.Offering Meaning in a World of UncertaintyFarmer acknowledges that both religion and science provide meaning, despite their different approaches. Where religion fills the void of existential and moral queries, science offers explanations grounded in empirical evidence.Conspiracies: A Symptom of a Troubled Society?Farmer and Sanders explore the notion that conspiracy theories serve as a coping mechanism for those grappling with the chaos and unpredictability of the world. The comfort lies in believing that events unfold according to a grand plan, even if it's a nefarious one.Our conversation with Barney Farmer offers a kaleidoscope of insights into the intricate blend of humor, politics, and societal observations that define his work. From exploring the genesis of beloved characters to the nuanced navigation of conspiracy theories and modern societal dynamics, this episode provides a rich tapestry of thought and laughter, weaving together the many facets of Farmer's comedic genius.

Please be aware, this series will be examining a deadly bombing and we will be discussing details of death and injury. Listener discretion is advised.Examining the Conspiracy Theories Around the Manchester Arena BombingThe 2017 Manchester Arena bombing was a tragic event that left 22 people dead and hundreds more injured. However, in the years since, a number of conspiracy theories have emerged claiming the attack was a hoax. One of the main proponents of this theory is Richard D. Hall, who has produced a book and documentary called "The Night of the Bang" alleging the victims were crisis actors.In this 8-part podcast series, we aim to meticulously examine the claims made by Hall and others, assess the evidence, and uncover the truth behind this divisive event. As content creators, we recognize the responsibility we have to approach these sensitive discussions with great care.The first half of the series will present Hall's arguments and the conspiracy theory in detail. We will then spend the second half deconstructing these claims and determining where the truth lies. This balanced approach is crucial, as conspiracy theories around tragic events can have devastating consequences.We've already seen how these false narratives can fracture communities and lead to the harassment of victims and their families. The recent legal action taken by Manchester Arena survivors Martin and Eve Hibbert against Hall is a landmark case, the first of its kind in the UK against a "disaster troll.”The Hibberts are seeking an injunction to prevent Hall from making similar allegations in the future, as well as damages. Their lawyer has described Hall's actions as "appalling" and hopes this case will set a precedent to better protect survivors of tragedies from such harassment.This issue also highlights the challenges lawmakers and social media platforms face in addressing the spread of disinformation and abuse online. While new legislation like the UK's Online Safety Bill aims to improve user protections, there are still debates over how far such laws can and should go.Ultimately, the Manchester Arena bombing conspiracy theories demonstrate the very real harm that can result when facts are obscured and victims are re-traumatized. As we delve into this complex topic, our goal is to provide a thoughtful, nuanced examination - one that honours the memory of those lost and supports the recovery of the survivors.By rigorously analysing the evidence and ethical implications, we hope to cut through the noise and misinformation, offering listeners a clearer understanding of this tragic event and the importance of responsible journalism in the face of conspiracy theories.Listen to episodes weekly: https://www.somedarecallitconspiracy.com/all-episodes/deep-dives/season-2/manchester-arena-bombing-on-trialFind us on your preferred podcast platform: https://pod.link/1629532988 Listen to all 8 parts of the series now: https://www.patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracy You have questions?

Welcome to our Manchester Arena Bombing On Trial series.On the 22nd of May, 2017, Salman Abedi detonated a bomb in the foyer of the Manchester Arena at the end of an Arianna Grande concert killing 22 people and injuring hundreds more.A conspiracy theory claiming that this bombing was hoaxed and everyone involved was a crisis actor soon became a dominant narrative in the Conspirasphere.One of the main proponents of this theory is Richard D Hall. Over the course of this series we will be examining and deconstructing the claims made by Richard D Hall in his book and documentary "Night Of The Bang" only to discover where the truth lies. As usual, our deep dive series are split into two halves. In the first four episodes we present the conspiracy theory faithfully and with as little judgement as possible. All the while attempting to give our perspective as former believers as to how or why the theory may be believable.  In the final four episodes we revisit the theory and provide the often missing context and facts which prove the theory wrong.You have questions? We have answers.   Please be aware, this series will be examining a deadly bombing and we will be discussing details of death and injury. Listener discretion is advised.Topics discussed:  Episode One - Introducing our new co-host / permanent guest for all of our upcoming deep dive "On Trial" episodes: Joel HillOur personal experience with once believing that false flag attacks were commonplace.Where we were and what we thought about the Manchester Arena Bombing in 2017.Who is Richard D Hall? Neil's connection to Richard."The Night Of The Bang" Documentary. Evidence for Crisis Actors, ie: "Strategic Operations" Dave McGowan and the Boston Marathon bombing.Did ShowSec (security) divert the crowd away from the foyer before the "bang"?Witness statements from Jenny Brewster and Freya.The Nick Bickerstaff video and Jordan Kenny.

It's Movie Night with Greg Hall! In today's episode, Brent Lee puts the guys through absolute hell and makes them watch Plandemic 3: The Great Awakening by film maker Mikki Willis. Enjoy!  From Wikipedia "Plandemic is a trilogy of conspiracy theory films produced by Mikki Willis promoting misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. They feature Judy Mikovits, a discredited American researcher and prominent anti-vaccine activist. The first video, Plandemic: The Hidden Agenda Behind Covid-19, was released on May 4, 2020, under Willis' production company Elevate Films. The second film, Plandemic Indoctornation, which includes more interviewees, was released on August 18 by Brian Rose's distributor of conspiracy theory related films, London Real. Later on June 3, 2023, Plandemic 3: The Great Awakening was released on The Highwire, a website devoted to conspiracy theories run by anti-vaccine activist Del Bigtree. Upon its release, the first video went viral, becoming one of the most widespread pieces of COVID-19 misinformation, its popularity most attributed to online word-of-mouth. It was quickly removed by multiple online platforms, but this failed to stop its proliferation. The video also contributed to the increasing rebellion against health protocols. Due to social media companies' preparedness for its release, Plandemic: Indoctornation received less attention. Scientists and health professionals have criticized all the installments of the trilogy for their misleading claims, while Willis' filmmaking style employing various modes of persuasion has been cited as lending to a conspiratorial and brainwashing character of the film."

Full transcript available at https://somedarecallitconspiracy.blogspot.com/2024/02/jon-ronson-interview-transcript.htmlJon Ronson on the Allure of Conspiracies and the Culture WarWelcome to an exclusive episode of 'Some Dare Call It Conspiracy,' where hosts Neil Sanders and Brent Lee navigate the murky waters of conspiracy theories with guest Jon Ronson, an accomplished author and documentarian. This discussion delved into Ronson's firsthand experiences with the controversial figure Alex Jones, the shifting landscape of the truth movement, and the thin line between skepticism and belief.Covid, Clots, and Conspiracy TheoriesRonson's personal health scare, contracting Covid-19 and later developing a blood clot, brings a sobering reality to the conversation. It highlights the tangible consequences of the pandemic, contrasting with the rampant Covid denial and misinformation that has infiltrated conspiracy circles. The discussion pivots to the pathological persistence of some conspiracy theorists who refuse to acknowledge their role in spreading harmful misinformation.Examining Alex Jones: A Turn of PerspectiveRonson provides a unique perspective on Alex Jones, painting a picture of a man who consistently doubles down on conspiracy theories, potentially for personal gain rather than seeking truth. His recount of the infamous Bohemian Grove event illustrates the complexities and the theatrics of conspiracy narratives. This segues into a discussion of how some figures within the conspiracy community, including Jones, monetize and weaponize uncertainty to their advantage.Cultural Wars and Class Struggles: The Role of Identity PoliticsThe podcast also touches on the cultural wars that are fueled by identity politics and class struggles. The hosts and Ronson debate how these divisive issues distract from the underlying socioeconomic inequalities that benefit the wealthy. They discuss the often-misunderstood or overstated elements of the culture war, designed to generate conflict and division.The Hero's Journey of Conspiracy TheoristsJoseph Campbell's hero's journey is a concept that resonates deeply with conspiracy theorists. Ronson's exploration of this narrative shows that many within the conspiracy community view themselves as reluctant heroes, engaged in an epic struggle against the perceived dragons of society, such as government overreach and hidden crimes.The Skeptic's Path: From Belief to DisillusionmentSanders and Lee, formerly firm believers in conspiracy theories, share their journeys towards skepticism. They explore the pivotal moments that altered their views, shedding light on the internal conflicts that challenge staunch conspiracy theorists. This transformation from believer to skeptic is rare in a community where doubling down is the norm, providing valuable insights into the psychology of belief systems.In the end, the conversation with Jon Ronson throws a spotlight on the complex, and often contradictory, world of conspiracy theories. Whether as pronounced heroes on a valiant quest or vilified purveyors of falsehoods, conspiracy theorists occupy a controversial space in the collective consciousness. 'Some Dare Call It Conspiracy' invites listeners to critically engage with these narratives and consider their profound impact on society.

May 28, 2022 - Gabe and Rob discuss Rob's new tablet, Danni's car accident, guns, abortion, religion, Knowledge Fight, Robert E. Howard books, an Andrew Dice Clay project idea, video games, and Magic: The Gathering.

Co-host of the insanely popular Knowledge Fight podcast, and former standup comic, Jordan Holmes, joins Libations for Everyone for a total departure from what he pods about on the day-to-day (Knowledge Fight is currently almost 900 episodes running!). Drinking and quipping about Obama's beige suit, cabeza tacos and non-biological lactose intolerance are just the start. Here are your six topics of the week:

The boys sit down for a George Noory interview of Tom Moore, a man who believes he has a spiritual connection to not just Mother Earth but the federation of planets that runs a system of 20,000 planets. Not only will Tom end up running the United States with George Noory as president, but he was also the intergalactic ambassador that saved the entire universe during the Reptilian Star Wars.    Jordan Holmes of Knowledge Fight joins Chris and Paul to help determine, is it still alright to use the word cult; what is the 21st century of Dr. Who's Telephone Booth; new and groundbreaking forms of reality TV; and much more on today's episode of Coast to Coast PM.   Support:  C2CPM's Patreon Twitter: https://twitter.com/c2cpmpod  Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/coasttocoastpm/  Contact: c2cpmpod@gmail.com   Knowledge Fight Podcast: https://knowledgefight.libsyn.com/    Jordan Holmes: https://www.thequietpartloud.com/    Tom Moore's Website:  https://www.thegentlewaybook.com/ 

This month we are taking a break but in the meantime we could not leave you without something nice. We plan to go back to older episodes and let you listen to them in all their glory. We will hear a few old favorites and to continue we have some deep insight into Alex Jones. But more importantly this was the episode where Dan and Jordan from the podcast Knowledge Fight joined us. Please go give them a listen! Tune in next week for our last January special episode and then we come back from break.

On this episode we are joined by Jordan Holmes to talk about his book, The Quiet Part Loud. Join us as we dive into a world where the secret cabal is real (and loves tradition), a woman can be president of the United States, and two rich men can fall in love over custom vans...oh and there is a cult that may be the only survivors of the nuclear apocolypse. You can find Jordan's book at https://www.thequietpartloud.com and you can hear Jordan multiple times a week on his podcast Knowledge Fight.

*Content Warning : This episode talks about The No Name Fellowship and discusses the death of a child, among other cult abuses. Please use discretion when listening.* Shortly after Stacey's episode came out I got an email from another survivor of the "No Name Fellowship" who had even more to add to the story. With very little information about this group out there, any additional pieces to the puzzle would be helpful in understanding the complex cult; but I did NOT expect what was waiting for me on the other side of the microphone, and how an hour long chat added even more pieces to other puzzles we've been working on. My conversation with Jordan was filled with eye opening confessions, WTF moments and lots of (not at all silent) laughter.

Bess and Denis ARE policy wonks. These are fantastic chats centered (mostly) around the ever-vexing question plaguing us all: why are we still compelled to listen to a show about Alex Jones, whom most people haven't given a turd about for years, AFTER all these years? It's because Knowledge Fight (a podcast about Alex Jones) is the greatest podcast of all time. I would say "besides this one" to be cute, but Broadsheet exists outside of time. Bess is a private citizen who is actually NOT okay with inviting people to be rude to her on the internet just to get a little taste of fake fame. Unlike me, who will do anything for attention. I mean, obviously. No plugs for Bess.

The one where we team up with Jared Holt from Posting Through It to have a conversation with Mike Rothschild about certain "researchers" who are long on speculation and vitriol but short on facts.Here are some of the sources we used to create this episode:Mike Rothschild's WebsiteMike Rothschild is a journalist, researcher, expert witness, subject matter expert, speaker, and debunker of conspiracy theories and fringe beliefs.Over the last decade, Mike has written extensively about politics, history, pop culture, and weird stories your aunt shares on Facebook without actually reading. In particular, Mike is an expert on the QAnon conspiracy theory, tracing its evolution from a few 4chan posts to a massive, worldwide movement that draws on centuries of conspiracy theories and scams to induct its believers into a violent mythology.Mike is the author of “The Storm is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything,” published in June 2021, with a paperback version coming in August, 2022.  His next book, to be published in 2023, is “Jewish Space Lasers,” on the Rothschild banking family and the two centuries of conspiracy theories about them. His first print book, “The World's Worst Conspiracies” was published in January 2020 by Arcturus Publishing, London.In addition to his work as an author, Mike has served as an expert witness in several legal cases related to conspiracy theories, has guest lectured at numerous college classes and academic panels, and submitted written testimony to the January 6th Committee.His work in debunking conspiracies has been cited in articles or interviews by the New York Times, Snopes, NBC News, Vice, Daily Beast, CNN and many others. He's also appeared on high profile podcasts like Maintenance Phase, the Duncan Trussell Family Hour, Armchaired and Dangerous, Knowledge Fight, Reply All, and numerous others. Mike is also a published playwright, podcaster, and working on several TV projects. For more information, contact Mike – rothschildmd@protonmail.compMike Rothschild on TwitterPublisher's Weekly review of “The Storm is Upon Us”“Rothschild also offers useful advice on how to help loved ones get out of QAnon. This is a disturbing and well-informed look at the darker side of modern American politics.“Written Testimony of Mike Rothschild, Journalist and Author Before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on House Administration Election Security Subcommittee“Human brains are hardwired to seek patterns in random chance, and order in chaos. We want explanations for why things are the way they are, why bad things happen to us, who's responsible, and what we can do about them. By nature, this means we are susceptible to being given incorrect or intentionally misleading answers – particularly if the questions we're asking don't have a satisfying answer. And sometimes, if we don't like the answer, we decide it's not true – giving rise to conspiracy theories. Over the past few years, these incorrect or misleading answers have been branded with the term “disinformation.”Conspiracy theories and disinformation, therefore, are not an invention of the internet age, didn't emerge from a Russian trolling lab, and aren't restricted to Americans of any political persuasion. Disinformation has been used by governments, rulers, and corporations for centuries to mislead people, cover up misdeeds, or in times of war to throw enemies off the track. And everyone is vulnerable to the right piece of false information or wishful thinking, if it hits them at the right time in the right way.”Posting Through ItPosting Through It" is Jared Holt's weekly podcast and newsletter about our modern political disorder.

  It's Casual Friday! Sam hosts David Dayen, executive editor at the American Prospect, to break down the week in news. Then, Sam is joined by Jordan Holmes and Dan Friesen, co-hosts of the Knowledge Fight podcast, to discuss the recent Alex Jones-Sandy Hook trial. First, Sam walks through Merrick Garland's first impactful moment as Donald Trump put him front and center in the raid on Mar-a-Lago, also touching on today's IRA vote in the House, the banning of gender-affirming care for ADULTS in Florida, and Europe seeing its worst drought in five centuries. David Dayen then joins as he and Sam discuss how Manchin's Inflation Reduction Act impacts the US' healthcare infrastructure, looking first at its changes to ACA and ARP exchange rates, before diving deep into its empowerment of Medicare to negotiate drug prices, and why it's so important despite its limitation to 10 drugs per year, and not kicking until the next presidential election is over, meaning a Ron DeSantis or Donald J. Trump might be able to take credit for capped Medicare prices. Next, they move on to the Climate provisions of the IRA, with David walking through the positives we can take, including significant investment in domestic production in next-gen tech, particularly when it comes to EVs and batteries, before parsing through the myriad carrots that drive the bill's policy, how it employs the tax code throughout all of this, and why this essentially deputizes the US Treasury to interpret out climate provisions. After expanding on the tax credits that come from EVs that don't yet exist, they wrap up by taking on Manchin's disastrous fossil fuel provisions, from wider-scale requirements to lease fossil fuel extraction before leasing any permits for building renewable energy sites, to literally just “let me build my pipeline.” Then, Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes join as they reflect on the evolution of the Alex Jones Conspiratorial Multiverse, his slow shift to Televangelism, and how the roots of his income (beyond largely being fear-driven) are still obscured from even the most learned Info Warrior. And in the Fun Half, Sam and the MR Crew dive into the the interesting push by Republicans in Congress to now all of a sudden hate the FBI. Steve Doocy has had just about enough of that, as he spars with Elise Stefanik and Steve Scalise over their inability to "back the blue" anymore now that they've raided Trump's home. Then they look at whether Brian Kilmeade's producers hate him or if they were really that dumb to accidentally put on screen a photoshopped image of a Florida judge on Jeffrey Epstein's body onboard the Lolita Express. Then, the MR universe gets a look behind the curtain as to what went down when Sam was able to mole his way onto the Dennis Prager Show (for approximately 5 seconds), and how, despite Prager's aching for it, he won't engage in spirited intellectual debate.
