I just caught a bit of Ari Melber's interview with Jerome Corsi. I'd like to focus on one tidbit that slipped out: Corsi revealed that he had studied under Edward Bernays. Now, this fact may have been widely known previously, but I did not learn about it until just now.
In the land of the conspiracy theorists, Bernays has become a quasi-mythical figure -- a supervillain who ranks somewhere between Dr. No and Mephistopheles on the Evilness scale. Can you imagine how the Alex Jonesians would hoot and screech if any Democrat had confessed to such an association?
And yet Corsi is not the target of paranoid speculation. Instead, our professional paranoia-pushers consider him one of their deities.
Once again, Corsi proves something I've said for years: The conspiracy theorists ARE the conspiracy.

"Corsi brags that he studied with the “father of propaganda” Edward Bernays.
"And as if that weren’t enough to confirm Corsi’s disinformation bona fides, he is currently making money offering a monthly paid subscription service that offers “in depth decodes” of Q-Anon, a high-profile disinformation meme."
From Daniel Hopsicker's recent post on Corsi. Lots of other information, too, mainly about his history of frauds.
I believe it was Ari Melber who interviewed Corsi.
I've made the change, JL. Thanks for correcting me.
Memory, she is a funny thing, no?
