YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Salem Witch Trials. MK Ultra. JFK was a***ssinated by government operatives. The moon landing was staged. 9/11 was an inside job. COVID was a plandemic. Trump won 2020. Jeffrey Epstein didn’t k*** himself. Birds aren’t real. PizzaGate. QAnon. Climate change. America has always had “conspiracy theories” – but how did they move from the margins of our democracy to the center of power? Where is the line between investigating corruption and buying into conspiracies – and who gets to draw it?
Featuring Brace Belden, co-host of the TrueAnon podcast, Christopher Fee, Professor of English at Gettysburg College, and Elise Wang, assistant professor at Cal State Fullerton and researcher of the long history of conspiracy theories. Moderated by Jamelle Bouie, columnist at the New York Times. Co-sponsored by International House.
