Something has been poisoning the conservative movement for thirty years. It's in the podcasts, the reels, and the content you consume every day. And there is a documented trail from a forged document designed to justify genocide straight to your Spotify subscriptions. Black Sun Session 7.
In this episode, Will Spencer covers Chapter 14 of Black Sun — Conspiracy Beliefs and the New World Order — tracing the line from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion through Bill Cooper and David Icke into the conspiracy content millions consume today. He asks the question nobody in the conspiracy world wants to answer: what has it actually produced?
