Instantly, thousands of people rallied around her, blaming the fires on “Jewish space lasers” and, ultimately, the Rothschild family. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor more than 200 years, the name \"Rothschild\" has been synonymous with two things: great wealth, and conspiracy theories about what they're \"really doing\" with it. Almost from the moment Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his sons emerged from the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt to revolutionize the banking world, the Rothschild family has been the target of myths, hoaxes, bizarre accusations, and constant, virulent antisemitism. Over the years, they have been blamed for everything from the sinking of the \u003ci\u003eTitanic,\u003c\/i\u003e to causing the Great Depression, and even creating the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJewish Space Lasers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis a deeply researched dive into the history of the conspiracy industry around the Rothschild family - from the \"pamphlet wars\" of Paris in the 1840s to the dankest pits of the internet today. Journalist and conspiracy theory expert \u003cb\u003eMike Rothschild\u003c\/b\u003e, who isn't related to the family, sorts out myth from reality to find the truth about these conspiracy theories and their spreaders. Who were the Rothschilds? Who are they today? Do they really own $500 trillion and every central bank, in addition to “controlling the British money supply?” Is any of this actually true? And why, even as their wealth and influence have waned, do they continue to drive conspiracies and hoaxes?\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204906221746,"sku":"9781685890643","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781685890643_73b6ba4f-9d98-41cc-a60f-941aa8901b2b.jpg?v=1786024527"},{"product_id":"9781398822658","title":"Conspiracies","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis fascinating full-colour hardback guide brings together the most intriguing    and compelling conspiracy theories, illustrated with striking   photographs.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom secret societies and assassinations, to government cover-ups and UFO sightings, \u003ci\u003eConspiracies\u003c\/i\u003e    examines a range of popular conspiracy theories and takes a fresh  look   at the truth behind them.

No.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConspiracy culture expert Mike Rothschild is uniquely equipped to explain QAnon, from the cults that first fed into it, to its embrace by Trump and the right-wing media. With families torn apart and with the Capitol under attack, he argues that mocking the madness of QAnon will get us nowhere. Instead, he argues that QAnon tells us everything we need to know about global fear after Trump-and that we need to understand it now, because it's not going away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307404702069,"sku":"9781800960459","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781800960459_95de7e91-be6d-494c-8b80-3227a2aabce5.jpg?v=1786026793"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-mike-rothschild.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
