Among the Truthers: A Journey Through America's Growing Conspiracist Underground – Ten Sociological Profiles of Modern Conspiracy Culture

Jonathan Kay

4.9/5 (19236 ratings)

Description:For most of our history, Americans shared certain assumptions about the world. But since 9/11, this basic unity is fracturing. Today, more people than ever are becoming conspiracists, like those who believe that the perpetrators of 9/11 were not al-Qaeda terrorists but elements within the U.S. government seeking a pretext to launch wars abroad and draconian laws at home. But these "9/11 Truthers" are not alone. They are one segment of a vast subculture that is quickly spreading. Other manifestations of this phenomenon include: . "Birthers": Radicalized conservative activists who believe Barack Obama was born outside the United States, and so is constitutionally barred from serving as U.S. president. . Vaccine conspiracy theorists: Many otherwise well-educated Americans have fallen for the myth that vaccines can render children autistic. . Financial cabalists: The recent economic crisis has yielded a new round of theories surrounding the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, and Barack Obama's alleged plans to create a New World Order. For two years, journalist Jonathan Kay immersed himself in the conspiracy underground, attending conventions, infiltrating discussion boards, surfing web sites. What he has discovered is that while many theories are harmless, more and more people are retreating from the world of reality into a paranoid milieu-a reality that is posing a dark threat to society and our nation itself. He also offers concrete steps intelligent, engaged Americans can use to purge conspiracism and regain control of the intellectual marketplace.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
