And this, of course, is tied into the revolutions of 1848, which are a series of socialist upheavals all across Europe. And that eventually starts to die down. And there's some other factors going in there that it just gets too complicated to talk about. But then in the US, you start you're starting to see wealth building. So there's another cycle of Rothschild conspiracy theories based around the Civil War that eventually Then there is another cycle in the 1890s in both France and in the U.S. that starts to get based around the gold versus silver debate. That spills into the First World War. That spills into the interwar period. So every uptick of anti-Rothschild attacks spills over to the next one. And what I do in the book is I trace... Every cycle up going into the next cycle. So the pre-World War II attacks, obviously we know where that leads to. Then we get the Cold War. Then we start getting 70s paranoia. Then we get the internet. And every cycle builds and builds and builds on the next one. And everybody takes their version of it, puts it in their own book, usually sells a whole lot of copies of it. And somebody sees that and goes, oh, I can do that. I'm going to add in my own details. Then they sell a whole bunch of copies. Here we are, and we're talking about the same stuff.

You know, one of the goals I really had with writing the book was to strip back the social media sheen of QAnon and reveal what the component parts were. And the component parts are all old. It's all stuff that's been floating around for decades, centuries. I mean, you go back to the blood libel of the 1200s or whatever it was. There's very little in QAnon that's new. So the parts of QAnon that work for people can be repurposed into new conspiracy theories, new personas. I mean, we saw that. We've seen that on Telegram this year where post-January 6th QAnon promoters have taken QAnon and taken it in a completely different direction. You've got people like Ghost Ezra, people like Patel Patriot, who are taking the mythology of Q and rebuilding it into something that works for them and that can get them viral fame and money coming. You know, everybody takes it in their own direction and some of it doesn't work and some of it does work. And that will continue on and on and on forever because people will always be susceptible to being told what to believe and being validated in what they think is true and in being part of a special secret community.
