When I was assembling “Red Pill, Blue Pill,” I noticed how all the left-wing conspiracy theories (contrails, lizard people, etc.) eventually all morphed into far-right extremist cant. The anti-vaxxers have now completed the journey.

Anti-mandates march in D.C. manifests how anti-vaxxers have morphed into a far-right movement
Back when it was first gaining traction in the 1990s, the anti-vaccination movement was largely considered a far-left thing, attracting believers ranging from barter-fair hippies to New Age gurus a...

Many of the rally attendees wore yellow replicas of the Star of David badges that were forced upon Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and many of them carried signs referencing both that horrific episode of history and the German Nazi regime that inflicted it. So did other speakers, such as Del Bigtree, CEO of the anti-vaccination group Informed Consent Action Network, who added a threatening tone directed at journalists.

"Unlike the Nuremberg Trials that only tried those doctors that destroyed the lives of those human beings, we're going to come after the press,” Bigtree told the crowd.

Violence was also an undercurrent in the audience, some of whom carried signs suggesting a lethal response: “Shoot those who try to kidnap and vaccinate your child.” Another agreed with Bigtree, calling for “Nuremberg Trials 2.0.”

The inherent antisemitism of the anti-vaxxers’ conspiracism was also on full display: A large bus pulled up to the protest area blaring music with lyrics pronouncing “It’s God Over Government,” festooned on its side with mock “Wanted” posters featuring the anti-vaxxers bogeymen, notably Dr. Anthony Fauci, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and attorney Jacob Rothschild—the latter of whom has no known connection to the vaccine or mandates whatsoever, but whose last name conjures up Hitler’s antisemitic conspiracy theories that identified the family as one of the primary components of the Jewish cabal that Nazis believed secretly controlled the world.

1. They seem to be in love with the idea of Nuremberg trials

In the 1990s they wanted them for abortion doctors and women who had received abortions. Now they want them for pro-vaxxers and the press. I’m pretty sure that if these idiots get their way, the fact I work for a newspaper will make me a wanted man.

3. Anyone they don't like or who is not exactly like them will be wanted...

It's that pesky everyone is created equally getting in the way.

2. If the Rothschilds are controlling the World...

They aren't doing a swift job of it.

Just sayin'

4. Does that mean they support the right to die with dignity?

How about all the judges who are striking down mask and vaccine mandates? Does that mean they also support the personal choice to end one’s own life?

To be honest, I almost hate to bring this up knowing their penchant for turning the knob up to 11. Before you know it They could become the death panels they warned the world about.
