Conspiracy Theorist Retires: "Real Life Has Made Me Redundant" - Steve Shives
Reflections on the life and career of conspiracy theorist Mark Charley as he proceeds through conspiracy theories beginning with "Who shot JFK" as a child; the prominence of the Internet in the 90s to accelerate the spread of misinformation; followed by the Golden Age of the Aughts with media engrossed in 9/11, wars, and the first Black president; until the beginning of the end with the appearance of Trump on the political stage. - TxT

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
