An in-depth analysis of an anti-semitic conspiracy theory, from its origins in the 20th century to its resurgence today The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, first published in Russia around 1905, claimed to be the captured secret protocols from the first Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897 describing a plan by the Jewish people to achieve global domination. While the document has been proven to be fake, much of it plagiarized from satirical anti-Semitic texts, it had a major impact throughout Europe during the first half of the 20th century, particularly in Germany. After World War II, the text was further denounced. Anyone who referred to it as a genuine document was seen as an ignorant hate-monger. Yet there is abundant evidence that The Protocols is resurfacing in many places. The Paranoid Apocalypse re-examines the text’s popularity, investigating why it has persisted, as well as larger questions about the success of conspiracy theories even in the face of claims that they are blatantly counterfactual and irrational. It considers the medieval pre-history of The Protocols, the conditions of its success in the era of early twentieth-century secular modernity, and its post-Holocaust avatars, from the Muslim world to Walmart and Left-wing anti-American radicalism. Contributors argue that the key to The Protocols’ longevity is an apocalyptic paranoia that lays the groundwork not only for the myth’s popularity, but for its implementation as a vehicle for genocide and other brutal acts.

Politics & Apocalypse is the inaugural issue of the Studies in Violence, Mimesis, and Culture series. To most, the word apocalypse signifies destruction, death, the end of the world. The literal definition is "revelation" or "unveiling," the basis from which renowned theologian Reneacute; Girard builds his own view of Biblical apocalypse. In this volume, some of the major thinkers about the interpenetration of politics and religion-including Eric Voegelin, Leo Strauss, and Carl Schmitt-are scrutinized by some of today's most qualified scholars, all of whom are thoroughly versed in Girard's groundbreaking work.

David Harsanyi delves into the mindset of people who think Republicans would usher in the Handmaid's Tale and who compare Trump's Madison Square Garden rally to a pro-Nazi rally held there eight decades earlier. In The Rise of BlueAnon, David Harsanyi reveals how the left has been consumed by a uniquely dangerous and delusional brand of conspiracy theories. And unlike those on the right, the Left’s conspiracy theories are rarely kept in check by mainstream institutions. How many Democrats are donning tinfoil hats? Way more than the media will admit: · A recent poll found nearly twice as many Democrats as Republicans believed “the Holocaust is a myth.” · Historically, Democrats are more likely to be 9/11 “Truthers." · Democrats have been accusing Republicans of stealing elections since Reagan defeated Carter. · Despite their lawn signs declaring, “science is real,” Democrats are twice as likely to believe in astrology as Republicans. · Most of the Americans who believe that alien spacecraft are observing our planet right now are Democrats. · Democrats have spread the most successful conspiracy theory in American history: The Trump-Russia collusion hoax. From shrieks that we’re just one election away from living in The Handmaid’s Tale, to shrills that the world will end in 12 years from a corporation-caused climate catastrophe, Democrats have whipped themselves up with unfounded fears and falsehoods. Virtually all mainstream media experts, pundits, and late-night talk-show hosts claim that conservatives are a bunch of unhinged conspiracy theorists. The Rise of BlueAnon is a fun, hard-hitting, and insightful refutation of this myth, and it shows why so many Democrat accusations are, in reality, projections.

The book explores the fundamental and multifaceted dialectic between utopian dreams and dystopian nightmares within American culture. The utopian mindset in constructing and imagining different futures for society is reflected in a wide range of differential cultural texts and narratives such as novels, short stories, political discourses and treatises, journalism and scholarly and intellectual debates. Often these combine social criticism and satire, political rhetoric, religious belief systems, and biblical metaphors. Approaching the topic from various angles and throughout different historical periods, the essays in this volume collectively show how fascinating and rewarding the exploration of this utopian discourse of for an understanding of American culture.
