1/2 Mike Wendling on Trump vs Harris US Election Drama (Part One)

  • Summary

  • Hello Initiates! In today's episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Mike Wendling, a national digital reporter for the BBC who specializes in covering disinformation and conspiracy theories.

    Mike shared some truly eye-opening insights from his experiences investigating far-right extremist groups in the US. We delved into the complex web of conspiracy theories surrounding major events and how they're exploited to politically radicalize people.

    It was sobering to hear how fringe ideas, once confined to the darkest corners of the internet, are now being laundered into mainstream political talking points by media pundits and elected officials alike. Mike's firsthand accounts of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers revealed the contradictory nature of these groups.

    This episode highlighted the critical need for responsible journalism to combat the insidious spread of disinformation in our society. Be sure to check out Mike's book "Day of Reckoning" for a deep dive into the rise of the alt-right.

    As always, we appreciate you tuning into "Some Dare Call It Conspiracy." Let's keep shining a light on those who seek to manipulate and mislead. Until next time!
