    Donte Stallworth - Former 9/11 Truther, now CNN contributer

    Interesting! It also seems that the new narrative struck a chord with him because it was also critical of the government. Which shows that debunking and counter-narrating works better if you have (or find) a common ground to start from.

    Debunked: What the Health: Meat and Cancer

    Totally agree. Thank you for this post. As an advocate of animal welfare, I hate the pseudoscience a lot of vegans and vegetarians believe in. And this is only the tip of the iceberg lettuce.

    Advocating violence against "Chemtrail" planes, pilots, scientists, and debunkers

    First off, disgusting! But what are they even trying to imply with the accent? He's obviously British. So what? Is he a threat to American indipendence? Are they afraid Mick is in Her Majesty's service?

    Yeah. It's like a reverse "argument from authority".

    Conspiracy? Trump Repeating Falsely Attributed Quote from Russian Media.

    Not to godwin this, but Nazi antisemitism is the CT par excellence. Stalin's later cleansings and adversity to doctors could also be considered CT (as Daniel Pipes does). I do get your point, though, he's using it to explain failure in advance and to mobilize his followers. But even in that...

    Review: Flat Earth - The History of an Infamous Idea - Christine Garwood

    It appears to be out of print (at least not available in Europe). Do you know if there's a going to be a reprint or a second edition? It would be timely, for sure.

    Global March Against Chemtrails and Geoengineering

    Maybe they are afraid too much extertion would make them breathe heavier and inhale more chemicals.

    Global March Against Chemtrails and Geoengineering

    How is that a "March"? They literally were sitting.

    Vice: 'It Was Like a Cult': Leaving the World of Online Conspiracy Theories

    I coincidentally followed this woman's development on a German forum (allmystery). She was in deep, believed in the most absurd claims and came up with the most unreasonable responses. Then, a few months later, you would see her commenting sceptically about chemtrails, and showing more and more...

    Germanwings Airbus Crash Conspiracy Theories

    That has not gone unnoticed, of course. I've already seen it mentioned at a German CT forum.

    Germanwings Airbus Crash Conspiracy Theories

    Once again, the pattern seems to be conspiracy theorists comparing an exceptional case (in this case: an apparent accident) against a norm they have set up themselves (in this case: the claim of the flight path being exceptional). With this kind of methodology, they will always successfully...

    Debunked: It was not the political goals of Hitler that brought us to war...

    Yes, you would use "der Untermensch" when talking about the abstract (yet personified) concept, just as in your examples "the Jew", "the American". You would use "die Untermenschen" to speak of a more concrete group of people you want to point out as being "untermenschlich." Similarly, "the Jew...

    Debunked: It was not the political goals of Hitler that brought us to war...

    Just one little correction: Untermensch is not gender neutral, it's masculine: der Untermensch, and plural: die Untermenschen. Compare for: der Mensch. Apparently, Germans consider typical human beings (Menschen) to be male. But then again, the English word for Mensch is man. For all your...

    Yeah, but those two are basically attention seekers.

    Huh? The mere existence of HAARP now is some kind of win? Was that ever even put into question?
