Republic of Lies (American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power)

Author: Anna Merlan 

Narrated By: Suehyla El-Attar & 1 more

Anna Merlan (Author, journalist, BA degree in Modern Literary Studies from University of California, Santa Cruz, master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.)

Anna Merlan’s “Republic of Lies” explains conspiracy theories are created by people who have real concerns, fears, and grievances about the world in which they live. Some people capitalize on people’s concerns only to satisfy their desire for money, power, or prestige without care or thought about others. Conspiracy theorists seem to believe everything that happens in society is about plots by others to control or create havoc in their lives.

The digital age.

The advent of the digital age has increased the threat of interest groups that see others as alien to their learned beliefs. The fault is not always in the conspiring groups but in listeners who fail to recognize theories are only theories based on different life experiences and beliefs of like-minded people. The root of the problem with conspiracy is that life experience, and differences in one’s appearance provide a basis for prejudicial bias, identification and belief that is as easily wrong as right. Discrimination based on the color of one’s skin or ethnicity become “de rigueur”, i.e. something required by etiquette or current fashion, rather than the substance of who you are as a person.

Investigative journalism is an important part of the American way of life and its search for truth.

Merlan is an intelligent and brave investigative journalist who interviews extremists to find what they believe and why they believe it. Merlan explains how conspiracy theories are by definition beliefs based on perceptions of events in the world. There is a disconnect between what is real and unreal when what human beings see is based on personal life experience and perception. That is why conspiracy is always a theory which can either be right or wrong and still have great impact on and consequence for society.

Alex Jones (Conspiracy radio host, convicted of civil liability for defamation and required to pay over $1 billion in damages to families of Sandy Hook victims.)

Merlan reveals conspiracy theories in the 20th and 21st centuries that have caused an erosion in trust, strained interpersonal relationships, and promoted extremism. Those who share conspiracy theories often deny the proofs of science and what is evident from repeated human atrocities. People become stuck in misbegotten beliefs that polarize groups of humanity who believe you are either one of us or one of them. In that separation, only those who have the same beliefs are worthy of acceptance. Others are disposable and not worthy of life or liberty.

CIA mind-control program.

Merlan reminds listeners of the CIA mind-control program using LSD in the 195os-1970s, and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study of 1932-1972 as acts of American government that erode public trust. Programs like these have created fertile ground for conspiracy theories to argue there is a deep state government that controls the creation and administration of public policy. The formation of QAnon in 2017 is an internet-born conspiracy factory that trades on the mistrust of government. The internet is no longer mere propaganda tool but a decentralized grassroots generator of government-distrusting American citizens’ groups.

“Republic of Lies” is a deeply troubling book that explains much about why lies of a President of the United States are ignored.

The fear of government is legitimized by American government’s mistakes of the past. Turning to an authoritarian President is American citizens answer to distrust of government. The concern one has is in the character of the authoritarian that has been chosen.

  1. Rejecting Religious Rhetoric as False.

    Did I Tell You?

    I finished my Bible, and now I am reading it again. I have a goal for this year, so I don’t hesitate to pick up my Bible and read for awhile. Since I just finished, I am starting over….
    ______________________________
    ______________________________
    You could try learning the Hebrew T’NaCH – a radically different collection of books – rather than reading your Xtian bible translations. The Hebrew T’NaCH has translations, it even includes the non Jewish chapters and verses which so completely pervert the Xtian bible sophomoric translations. What difference does Order make? God vs Dog.

    The T’NaCH organized into sugyot (translated as sub-chapters). What difference does this make? The fundamental basis of the Hebrew T’NaCH stands upon a fundamental question. Does a person learn this literature לשמה או לא לשמה? To quote Shakespeare: To be or not to be — That is the question.

    Sophomoric bible translations never once bring the Name revealed in the opening Sinai commandment. Because the Xtian church does not accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, it worships their own versions of the Golden Calf. טיפש פשט – translated as bird brained – makes literal translations of abstract obstruse ideas of mussar. This latter term, mussar, it defines the meaning of the word “prophesy”. Prophets command mussar. Meaning that this prophetic mussar applies to all generations of bnai brit who ever walk the face of the Earth.

    Prophets do not predict the future as the Roman counterfeit new testament: “fulfill the words of the prophets” falsely proclaims. The Torah refers to this concept of “prophesy” which it describes through the “prophet” Bil’aam; that prophet practiced כשוף – witchcraft or sorcery, practices that involve magical or supernatural powers; engaging in Av tuma avoda zarah – forbidden or occult practices forbidden by the 2nd Sinai commandment.

    The Roman forgery known as the new testament employs a lot of Greek rhetoric. Greek rhetoric: undefined critical terms upon which a religious or political witch “hangs” all subsequent ideas. Obama in the 2008 election employed the witchcraft rhetoric of “CHANGE”. The key term that won two Presidential elections for him. Problem: never in eight years did he ever once make any attempt to define this magical term “CHANGE”. The Arab false prophet Muhammad did the exact same thing in his Koran.

    The word “prophet” repeated over and again and again. Never once does the Koran ever define the abstract obstruse term “prophet”. The new testament projects a definition of the term prophet, as mentioned above, that duplicates the Torah concept of witchcraft – predicting the future. The Hebrew T’NaCH defines prophesy as “MUSSAR”; prophets do not predict the future but rather their mussar applies equally to all generations. The outcome of this critical T’NaCH definition of this absolutely critical term “prophet” … T’NaCH commands prophetic mussar but it does NOT teach history. This subtle shift requires a bit of time to sink in once consciousness.

    Another example of religious rhetoric which the new testament forgery employs, the Apostle Paul, its concept of 1. You are not under the Law. 2. Original Sin of Adam, guilt complex employed to serve as the pretext for the death and resurrection of JeZeus. 1. The rhetoric of “law”; T’NaCH defines “law” as Judicial courtroom judgments – as law. Whereas Roman law exists as rules and regulations imposed by Caesar or the Roman Senate. Paul’s rhetoric “not under the law” fails to differentiate between judicial common law vs. legislative statute law. Hence Xtians “read” their bible sophomoric translations oblivious that T’NaCH instructs judicial common law through a Case/Rule style. This latter type of “law” stands upon the foundation of earlier judicial courtroom “precedent” rulings. Statute law has not such requirement which would force a person to write a ‘legal brief’ and present possible similar and related court room ruling made prior to the current case heard before the Court. The subtle distinction that comes out of making a comparison of similar Case/Rule judicial judgments – the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev which rabbi Akiva’s kabbalah defines as פרדס p’shat remiz drosh sod.

    This logic system format radically different from Aristotle’s 3 part Syllogism. Akiva’s logic format – inductive reason; whereas Aristotle’s methodology deductive reasoning. Both systems of logic have their strengths and weaknesses. But Paul’s religious rhetoric: “You are not under the Law”, obliterated any and all distinctions which separate common law from statute law and inductive logic from deductive logic.

    The other Pauline term of religious rhetoric: Original Sin. It implies that humanity inherits guilt from Adam’s transgression. The church amplified this concept into a Fire and brimstone Heaven/Hell God/Satan polarity, which later developed into Calvin’s doctrine of complete Human depravity. Based upon the presumption of Paul’s “Original Sin”. Meaning: that the will of fallen Man enslaved in bondage to sin, and individuals cannot exercise free will as their “Moses” liberator who leads the enslaved church to salvation. Herein the requirement for the resurrection of JeZeus. Central to Calvin’s theology, the doctrine of predestination, defines his religious rhetoric. This Golden Calf replacement theology subsumes the Torah Central theme of “the Chosen Cohen People who do service to HaShem through the dedication of tohor middot” to the replacement church which believes in a false messiah JeZeus. The latter term refers to the 13 Attributes which became revealed to Moshe on Yom Kippur 40 days after the sin of the Golden Calf wherein the ערב רב/mixed multitudes replaced the Divine Presence Spirit Name with the word אלהים. The 13 attributes, they define the revelation of the Written Torah at Sinai. How?

    These 13 “middot” (translated as measurements) breath as living Spirits from within the Yatzir Ha’Tov within the heart. Air comes from the lungs but tohor spirits come from the heart. Hence the Talmud refers to tefillah as a “matter of the heart”. Whereas the book of the gospel John declares that the Logos/word – not just a spoken word but also a principle of order and knowledge. It refers to JeZeus as the pre-existent divine being. Logos/word rhetoric salad asserts “the Word was God” which establishes the belief in the full divinity of JeZeus.

    The revelation of the Golden Calf rejects substitute theology as the definition of Av tuma (evil inclination spirits within the heart called Yatrir Ha’Rah) of avoda zarah (often mistranslated as idolatry). Therefore then how does the Hebrew T’NaCH “study” rather than simply read Common law (משנה תורה)? The first book of בראשית introduces Av tohor mitzvot – known as time-oriented commandments. The next three books of the Written Torah introduce secondary commandments (תולדות) which function as legal precedents. The last 5th book of the Torah (משנה תורה) confirms the mandate of judicial common law as ‘Legislative Review’. Meaning the common law Sanhedrin courts have not only a veto over lower government statute laws but can entirely re-write the lower government statute law and present them now as Torah common laws.

    In short, Paul’s religious rhetoric of “Original Sin” supplanted the main Torah theme of exile/g’lut as expressed through Adam’s expusion from the Garden, Noach’s Ark, the enslavement of Israel in Egypt, and the 40 year Wilderness story.

      1. Addressing the Av Mishna of קידושין
        The Mishna of קידושין does not simply record dialectical disputes as a form of “preserving judicial disputes.” It functions like a court record. Beit Hillel serves as the Tort judge defense attorney. Whereas Beit Shammai functions as the prosecuting attorney. Now this distinction – significant because it distinguishes lateral common law courts from vertical Goyim courtrooms.

        Great Britain operates Common law court rooms just as does Talmudic common law! However, in the case of the British Courts, all statute laws imposed by the British Parliament in London – they define the British Constitution. As such, no common law British courtroom can over-turn any statute law passed by Parliament. Torah common law, known as משנה תורה operates completely differently – despite being a common law courtroom which absolutely requires earlier court room judicial rulings as precedents. Both court systems stand on this shared foundation of common law.

        None-the-less ספר דברים mandates “Legislative Review”, a critical interpretation of the intent of משנה תורה. Torah Sanhedrin common law courts have the Torah Constitutional mandate to over-rule any government statute law imposed by any of the 12 Tribes of the Republic or the Central Government of king David. A Torah prophet serves as an agent of the Great Sanhedrin Court. As such prophets can anoint a man from any tribe of Israel – KING.

        And Great Sanhedrin Court prophets can remove any king from Office. As the prophet Shmuel did with king Shaul. This fundamental distinction of Torah Great Sanhedrin courtroom powers of “Legislative Review” differentiates Torah lateral courts from Goyim vertical courts. The latter court the State pays the salary of the judges and the prosecuting attorneys. As such a court case pits פלוני vs. the State. The Torah refers to the state paying the salaries of Judges and prosecuting attorneys as “bribes”. צדק צדק תרדוף absolutely abhors bribery; it qualifies as an example of Av tuma avoda zarah?

        This abstract term defines the 2nd Sinai commandment. Do not copy the culture and customs practiced by the Goyim and do not marry foreign women who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Judicial justice serves as the כתר Av tohor time-oriented commandment which stands upon תמיד מעשה בראשית. The kabbalah that doing tohor time-oriented commandments creates the chosen cohen people from nothing. Hence the Torah begins with בראשית. Mesechta ברכות teaches that the world was created for the sake of the Jewish people. Who exactly qualifies as the Jewish people? The chosen seed of Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov – the chosen Cohen people.

        Obviously, Cohen, Levi, Israel – לאו דוקא terms of reference. A precedent proof, the din that tefillah stands in the stead of korbanot. Amalek – antisemites – continually refer to the Jewish people as a race. The Nazis referred to Jews as “the inferior Race”. Jewish inheritance determined from the mother. However, the central obligation of קידושין, as a pre-condition of marriage, upon the father to educate his children in the oath brit/alliance faith.

        Our Mishna compares to ברכות which opens with kre’a shma ערבית, just as the Av Mishna of קידושין opens with האשה. The vertical courtrooms of Goyim jurisprudence the prosecuting attorney prioritized over the defense attorney. But the model of Sanhedrin courts the reverse. The Halacha follows after Hillel!

        The Xtian Bible and Muslim Koran both fail to acknowledge that Torah prophets serve as the “police” of the Sanhedrin courts! Hence neither Muhammad nor JeZeus could qualify as prophets. This מאי נפקא מינא distinction equally applies to the acquisition of a wife. The Baal acquires his soul through marriage. The qualifications for serving as a judge in a Jewish court (Beit Din) includes personal attributes and life experiences that are deemed important for this role.

        The Talmud suggests that an unmarried man is generally considered less fit to serve as a judge. This is because marriage is seen as a significant life experience that contributes to a person’s maturity and understanding of family dynamics, which can be relevant in legal matters. Similarly, the absence of children can also be viewed as a factor that affects a person’s qualifications.

        Having children is believed to provide additional insights into the responsibilities and challenges of family life, which can inform a judge’s decisions. The underlying principle is that judges should possess a deep understanding of human nature and the complexities of life, which are often gained through personal experiences such as marriage and parenthood.

        What specifically does a man acquire through wife and family? Answer: Fear of Heaven. A Sanhedrin Judge by definition has an excellent Good Name reputation.

      3. Prior to the Oct7th Abomination War a Constitutional Crisis over the power of the Supreme Court of Israel exploded and threatened the continuation of the Knesset Government in Jerusalem. Currently Israel has no Constitution. But based upon the 1917 and ’22 Balfour Declaration and Palestine mandate which defines Zionism as the Jewish right to self-determination in the Middle East … self-determination defined as the Jewish right to establish a Constitutional government in our own country.

        Prophecy The concept of a prophet is central to the Torah reading this week. But what exactly is a prophet? And what is a prophet’s role? The Hebrew word for a prophet is…
        ___________________________________________
        ___________________________________________
        Prophets serve as the “police” of the Sanhedrin common law lateral courts. These courts mandated with משנה תורה, interpreted to mean — “Legislative Review”. For example: Samuel, Nathan, Ahijah, Elijah, Hosea – major and minor prophets – Anointed and/or deposed Kings. This Torah constitutional mandate of Sanhedrin common law\משנה תורה courtrooms based upon the Book of D’varim having the second Name of משנה תורה.

        Legislative Review radically different and set apart from British Common law courtrooms. The latter cannot void a law passed by Parliament. Parliamentary “statute law” defines the Constitution of England. Hence no common law British court has the power to overturn any law passed by Parliament. Not so Sanhedrin common law courts. Any law imposed by any tribal leader within the 12 Tribes of the Israelite Republic and even statute laws imposed by a king of Yechuda or Israel, the Great Sanhedrin common law lateral courts possess the Constitutional mandate of משנה תורה to void and overturn.

      4. Thank you. Would a Constitution for Israel have any value in your opinion? How difficult would it be to have one written that would be consistent with the Torah and Jewish’ conservatism? I presume differences of opinion are one of the reasons a Constitution has not been written. Please excuse my ignorance.

      5. The Written Torah – the original Constitution of the Hebrew Republic. A Republic does not resemble a democracy. Ancient Athens developed the cultural concept of democracy. The Torah emphasized lateral common law courtrooms. Where the State does not pay the salaries of neither the Judges nor the prosecuting attorneys.

        During the Middle Ages exiled Jews “converted” the Torah into a religion. Restoring Torah as “common law legalism” rather than a religious belief system – the central issue which prevents the restoration of the Torah as the Constitution of the Israeli Republic. Currently the Knesset Parliament form of government embraces a democracy.

      8. Lebanon News: The Radical Change in the Balance of Power in the Middle East consequent to the Oct7th Abomination War.

        Lebanon has begun disarming non-state armed groups, specifically starting with Palestinian factions in camps such as Burj al-Barajneh, as part of a broader push to ensure weapons are held only by six official state security agencies. Additionally, Lebanon’s cabinet has approved the objectives of a U.S.-backed plan to disarm Hezbollah by the end of 2025, tasking the army to oversee this transition.

        In response, Hezbollah has outright rejected the plan, with its deputy leader Naim Kassem denouncing it as serving Israeli interests and warning against its implementation. Lebanon’s president has strongly rebuffed Iranian interference, emphasizing national sovereignty and rejecting foreign meddling—remarks delivered during a meeting with a senior Iranian official. Reports also indicate that Iran appears anxious about the implications of Hezbollah’s potential disarmament, viewing it as a major strategic setback to its regional influence.

        UNIFIL continues to operate across southern Lebanon, with its current mandate extended through August 31, 2025. The Security Council is debating a new resolution that not only aims to extend the mission, but also signals an eventual withdrawal of UNIFIL—contingent on the Lebanese government achieving full control over its territory and so long as a comprehensive political solution is in place.

        UNIFIL has experienced dangerous incidents in recent years: Israeli tanks forcibly entering UN positions, multiple attacks on watchtowers, and injuring or endangering peacekeepers. Locally, some communities have pushed back against UNIFIL patrols, especially when they occur without Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) accompaniment, fueling tensions.

        A tragic incident on August 9, 2025, killed six Lebanese soldiers during munitions dismantling at a Hezbollah-linked depot, underscoring the persistent danger in the area. Its future beyond August hinges on Security Council deliberations and Lebanon’s ability to assume full security responsibilities.

        Despite a legislative ban by Israel that came into effect on January 30, 2025, targeting UNRWA’s operations in Israeli territory including East Jerusalem, UNRWA continues to provide essential aid in Gaza, the West Bank, and among refugee camps across the region. The agency has lost access to its Jerusalem headquarters, and many of its international staff have been forced to leave; yet, local staff remain on the ground delivering services under increasingly hostile conditions.

        Israel’s ban and accusations of UNRWA’s alleged ties to Hamas (including dismissals of some staff) have had far-reaching effects—diplomatic, legal, and operational. The agency remains under scrutiny, including court cases in the U.S. Still delivering critical services across Gaza and the West Bank, despite bans and evacuation of international staff.

      10. Its now the month of Elul. The Jewish saying: The King is in the field. T’shuva requires remembering the sin of the Golden Calf and how HaShem threatened to break the sworn oath alliance cut with Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov.

        Understanding Shotrim/police in the Context of Prophets: Prophets in ancient Israel, such as Samuel, were instrumental in anointing kings (e.g., Saul and David) and had the authority to remove them when they strayed from God’s commandments. This role underscores their significant influence in governance and leadership. While Shotrim typically refers to the enforcers of the Sanhedrin’s rulings, the term can also encompass a broader understanding of those who uphold the law and moral order, which includes the prophetic role. Prophets, as Shotrim, enforce divine law and moral standards, guiding the people and leaders in their adherence to God’s will. The connection between prophets and Shotrim highlights the integration of spiritual and legal authority in ancient Israel. Prophets not only provided spiritual guidance but also played a crucial role in the political landscape, influencing the leadership and direction of the nation.

      11. The utter and total bankruptcy of European church theology has made this dead religion stink like a rotting corps in the Mid Summer day’s oppressive heat.

        Barth argued that God reveals Himself primarily through Jesus Christ and the Scriptures. He emphasized that human understanding of God must come from divine revelation rather than human reason or experience. The horrors of the Nazi Shoah revealed that Goyim worship air and no God. Jesus and his Father in Heaven – as dead as a door nail.

        Barth’s obtuse theology distinguished between the “Word of God” (Jesus Christ) and the “words of men” (human interpretations). He believed that true theology must focus on the former, asserting that any human attempt to understand God must be grounded in the revelation of Christ. What utter pie in the sky religious rhetoric nonsense. The bible sophomoric translations of the Hebrew T’NaCH — all written by men. Most of whom had absolutely no or very little knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic – the original language of the Hebrew T’NaCH.

        None of the sophomoric bible Xtian translators new the difference between T’NaCH and Talmudic common law from Roman statute law. None of these absolute ignoramuses understood the difference between Rabbi Akiva’s kabbalah of פרדס inductive reasoning from Aristotle’s deductive syllogism reasoning! The two divergent logic formats day and night different. Yet uneducated Xtian translators of their so called “Word of God” bibles as ignorant as bees on the rump of a braying ass.

        Barth often contrasted the Pauline utter religious rhetoric theological nonsense of “Human sinfulness (Original Sin of Adam) with God’s grace. Never does his empty religious rhetoric ever question how grace as a Godly attribute revealed to Moshe at Horev distinguishes itself from Mercy or Great Chessed or Truth ect other attributes revealed to Moshe at Horev 40 days after the Sin of the Golden Calf.

        Barth’s theology of a Universal God argues that this God owns absolute sovereignty, wholly transcendent. Which completely ignores the Jewish Tribal God revealed only to Israel at Sinai, which the Xtian and Muslim religions utterly rejected that revelation, which understands HaShem as a local tribal God of the Hebrew Chosen Cohen people alone. Outside of Judea/Israel HaShem as a local tribal God has absolutely no sovereignty transcendent rule.

        Hence outside of the oath sworn lands no one can worship HaShem לשמה; this represents the Torah curse imposed upon g’lut/exiled Jews. And Goyim who never accepted the revelation of the Torah at Sinai – how much more so! Central to Barth’s theology is the belief that all theological reflection must be centered on Christ. This narishkeit exposes Av tumah avoda zarah; Torah defines faith as the righteous pursuit of judicial justice wherein the Sanhedrin common law courts strive to make fair compensation of damages inflicted by Party A upon Party B.

        Av tumah avoda zarah promote theological creed rhetoric which dictates what believers must believe in this or that or some other God. Bonhoeffer’s political stance against the Nazis is admirable — he resisted a church that bent its knee to Hitler. But the substance of his theology remained trapped within the very Christian framework of Barth’s bankrupt and void theology. Barth and Bonhoeffer both anchor “truth” in Christology, a theological rhetoric divorced from judicial justice or covenantal precedent. Both preserve Pauline substitution theology (sin/grace, Christ as “Word of God”), which replaces Torah’s oath alliance revelation with mythic universality.

        Neither ever engaged in Torah common law precedent vs. Roman statute law — nor did they recognize the practical, courtroom-based definition of faith as צדק צדק תרדוף. Bonhoeffer opposed Nazism, but he did so with bankrupt theological tools. His “religionless Christianity” or “cost of discipleship” never escaped Barth’s fundamental error: mistaking a theological creed for covenantal justice. Even resistance to Nazi tyranny in German Protestant circles still operated inside the false logic of avoda zarah. They never questioned the Pauline framework that itself fed centuries of Jew-hatred, pogroms, blood libels, and ultimately the Shoah.

      13. The Gaza War complexities

        The conflict in Ukraine has led to one of the largest refugee crises in Europe since World War II, with millions fleeing to neighboring countries. In contrast, while Gaza has seen significant displacement, the scale is different due Egyptian and Jordan both closing their borders to Gaza Arab refugee populations. Egypt and Jordan, which share borders with Gaza, have historically been reluctant to open their borders to large numbers of Palestinian refugees. This has resulted in significant challenges for those displaced by conflict in Gaza, as they often have limited options for safe relocation.

        In the case of Gaza, concerns about security, political stability, and the potential for increased tensions in host countries play a significant role in border policies. 1970 Black September where the king of Jordan expelled Arafat’s PLO unto Lebanon triggered the Lebanese Civil War. After Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Palestinian refugee population there side with the invading Iraqis.

        Egypt and Jordan’s reluctance to open their borders to Gazan refugees stems from concerns about security and the potential for increased tensions. The fear of destabilizing their own political situations plays a significant role in their border policies. As a result of these border policies, Gazans facing displacement due to conflict have limited options for safe relocation. This exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, as many are trapped in a conflict zone with restricted access to essential services and aid.
