We saw some attention being paid this week to Mike Rothschild, a “journalist focused on conspiracy theories/QAnon” who has been featured on MSNBC and CNN and in the New York Times. He also has a new book out about QAnon called “The Storm Is Among Us,” but according to his Twitter feed Saturday, he’s not sure if a library in Bonner’s Ferry has banned his book or not or if was on a list of books to be banned. We’re sure he’d like it to be banned so he could make a news story out of it.
I spoke to the outgoing library director, and THE STORM IS UPON US has NOT been banned, but might have been on one of the "banned book" lists circulating. I'm leaving this up because the danger of arbitrary and capricious book bans is real and we need to know this is happening

“My book hasn’t been banned but I’m leaving this up because book bans are real.”
Noah Blum, aka @neontaster, has a tread of some of the other conspiracy theories Rothschild has looked at in his tenure as a journalist.
Everyone who claims to be focused on conspiracy has promoted at least one conspiracy theory in the past four years. Shit like this, for instance. https://t.co/6VuhjkQq0u

"Conspiracy theories like the Steele Dossier being fake." https://t.co/BMFK9XrSyf

And Spygate. So who’s going to write the book about #BlueAnon? Remember when Tom Arnold actually had a TV show about finding the lost Trump tapes? Spoiler alert if you haven’t seen it: He didn’t find them.
That’s too much 😂

Rothschild, huh?
I'll bet he gets to wear the "Bison Horn Crown" at BlueAnon meetings.— Chris Clinkinbeard (@Clinkin53) September 10, 2022
Rothschild is a lying piece.
"The problem with just labeling the laptop 'Russian disinformation' is that…"
As if the Russinfo hoax strategy was flawed as a tactic.

The corporate press really did a number on people over the last 5 or 6 years. People will believe in the pee tape, Steele dossier, and Russian collusion for the rest of our lives.

LOL glad he has been keeping up with the facts.
(yet again they wonder why they have no credibility)

The conspiracy theories are coming from inside the house

CNN’s gone conservative now, but maybe MSNBC will have him on to promote his book debunking conspiracy theories.
