FINALIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE
“Every sentence delivered. The pathos of truth-seeking left me thinking of Herman Melville.”
—Timothy Snyder, #1 New York Times bestselling author of On Tyranny
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING author Sarah Kendzior delves into the difference between conspiracy and conspiracy theory, “deftly separat[ing] fact from fiction in a conspiracy-addled nation” (VANITY FAIR).
“The topics covered in this audiobook may be rough going for listeners, but the author’s commitment to sounding the alarm will keep them glued to their earbuds.”- AudioFile
Conspiracy theories are on the rise because officials refuse to enforce accountability for real conspiracies. Uncritical faith in broken institutions is as dangerous as false narratives peddled by propagandists.
The truth may hurt—but the lies will kill us.
They Knew discusses conspiracy culture in a rapidly declining United States struggling with corruption, climate change, and other crises. As the actions of the powerful remain shrouded in mystery—“From Norman Baker to Jeffrey Epstein, Iran-Contra to January 6″ (VF)—it is unsurprising that people turn to conspiracy theories to fill the informational void. They Knew exposes the tactics these powerful actors use to placate an inquisitive public.
Here, for the first time, Kendzior blends her signature whip-smart prose and eviscerating arguments with lyrical and intimate examinations of the times and places that haunt American history. “America is a ghost story,” states Kendzior, as she unearths decades of buried history, providing an essential and critical look at how to rebuild our democracy by confronting the political lies and crimes that have shaped us.

@GordonCoon - In order, yes COVID probably came from a lab, and by probably I mean I have >95% certainty that it did.
COVID is probably much more deadly than the flu based on Chinese funeral home activity, but we can’t know for sure because the US intentionally messed up the statistics by attributing all deaths to covid, even with 90 year olds with terminal conditions who got it in the ER.
Social distancing wasn’t worthless if you just stayed home. If you mean the 6′ foot thing in non-ventilated areas, yeah, that was worthless. Cloth masks were also worthless, though hepa filter type APRs weren’t. Not that anyone other than the immune compromised wore them, but those did help.
No idea on 15 minute cities.
I completely agree with your last two statements.
Pretty well everything I dig into and, actually look at the data on, turns out to be a lie these days. Food adulteration, medical screening tests, product safety, chemical contamination and obviously politics. Everything seems to have been subverted by the rich for their profit.
Gotta say, I disagree with you completely on a lot of issues, but it’s nice to see that even two people as opposed as we are agree that the wealthy and their current behavior are a serious problem for society as a whole. It’s why I still have just a little bit of hope that this might get fixed without violence.

“Conspiracy theories - what happens when reality diverges from the official narrative sold by the Elite class.”
Amazingly, true. IT’S WHAT HALF THE BOOK IS ABOUT IF YOU EVER READ ONE BEFORE YOU SHAT ALL OVER IT.
Your problem is you define “reality” as “what I want to believe”. So that doesn’t mean every conspiracy you imagine is true. Actually, none of the examples you gave are. (Sorry, erouting.)
Arguing with conspiracists is impossible, they just ignore all facts they don’t like as “fake news from the ELITE” (i.e., Jews).

Nice to see you finding common ground with an actual fascist. I prefer to have some taste about the company I keep.

I’ve seriously had it up to here with ACTUAL FÜCKING NAZI Gordonc**n.
Why does he selfishly remain alive when someone could use a good liver?

@GordonKKKK : “Covid less deadly than the flu? Reality, not conspiracy.”
https://www.webmd.com/covid/news/20230217/covid-versus-flu-which-is-deadlier
“Overall, 7% of COVID-19 patients died, compared to 4.4% of flu patients. Researchers noted that the death rate for hospitalized COVID patients had declined since their previous study, which was conducted during the first COVID wave in the first half of 2020. At that time, the death rate of hospitalized COVID patients was 12.8%.”
Really, why the RWNJs choose this as a hill to literally die on, makes no sense.

“how little you halfwits actually ready rather” - Good man, Gordon, yet another coherent winner there…

Words! Hunter Biden! What about the children! Woke! Political correctness gone mad! What about the Clintons! BLM! Marxism! Listen to what real people think! Sheeple!
I think I’ve made my coherent argument against this book.

@GordonKKK: I quote statistics, with a cited source, you have some meme you saw on somewhere, who knows. That’s why you “win” arguments, you just make stuff up to support what you want to believe and sneer at facts.
