though i don't necessarily find most of them valid, the concepts surrounding conspiracy theories, like 9/11 truthers, or the bildebergs, illuminati and shit, interest me.
ive read the first illuminatis! book. it was alright,
any suggestions for conspiracy theory book PREFERABLY ones that are nonfiction, where actual research has gone into them and there may be an underlying truth they are catching onto (iow, no CoL49 or pynchonian hijinks)
sorry if this is poorly written, im 2 1/2 years into a fatass vape shesh and we're riding the buzz meng <33

You're ready. If all this seems too much for you, Behold A Pale Horse is probably the best and most essential one to read.

Bitterness and paranoia is normal, yes, after first learning about these things in depth, but I ultimately think you become a better person having integrated it all into your worldview after a while. Good luck.

From William Cooper's Wikip page:
"Cooper linked the Illuminati with his beliefs that extraterrestrials were secretly involved with the United States government, but later retracted these claims. He accused Dwight D. Eisenhower of negotiating a treaty with extraterrestrials in 1954, then establishing an inner circle of Illuminati to manage relations with them and keep their presence a secret from the general public. Cooper believed that aliens "manipulated and/or ruled the human race through various secret societies, religions, magic, witchcraft, and the occult", and that even the Illuminati were unknowingly being manipulated by them"
Good job anon, you swallowed the crazy pill.

He retracted those statements. After talking about them for 20 years, I might add, and thereby alienating (pun intended) all his fanbase obsessed with aliens and other alien researchers. Let's say one thing, the guy didn't care about good publicity.
>"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."

Foucault's Pendulum is the only conspiracy novel you need to read.
