Episode 243: Jewish Space Lasers feat Mike Rothschild
b"For hundreds of years the Rothschild banking family played a central role in conspiracist narratives. In the 19th century the Rothschilds\\u2019 massive wealth, war profiteering, connections to powerful governments, and pioneering banking strategies earned them well-deserved scrutiny. But myths about the Rothschilds eventually became a way to promote anti semitic attacks and disguise them as critiques of wealth and power. \\n\\nTo help us separate fact from myth when it comes to the Rothschild family, we are joined by repeat guest Mike Rothschild (who, despite his name, is not related to the banking dynasty.) In our discussion with his upcoming book, Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories, we cover everything from the origin of anti-semetic canards, how the Rothschilds became a financial force in Europe, the evolution of Rothschild conspiracy theories, and a major 21st century financial scandal involving the Swiss arm of Rothschild & Co.\\n\\nSubscribe for $5 a month to get an extra episode of QAA every week + access to ongoing series like 'Manclan,' 'Trickle Down' and 'The Spectral Voyager':\\n\\nhttp://www.patreon.com/QAnonAnonymous\\n\\nQAA's Website: https://qanonanonymous.com\\n\\nMusic by Pontus Berghe.
