This New World Order Conspiracy Theorist Is Advising Republicans on Environmental Policy

When state Sen. Jennifer Fielder, vice chairwoman of the Montana Republican Party, needed an expert on natural resources to testify before the state's Environmental Quality Council earlier this year, she turned to Doyel Shamley.

But his interest in the federal government goes far deeper than water rights and wildfire prevention. By day, Shamley is a consultant and natural resources coordinator for Arizona's Apache County. But by night, he's a conspiracy theorist who until recently hosted an online radio show called The Hour of the Time, during which he speculates that UFO sightings are a false-flag operation by the Illuminati to accumulate more power, and federal agents killed his friend because he was asking questions about the attacks on the World Trade Center.

In an appearance on the 2009 conspiracy theory DVD New World Order: The Battle for Your Mind and the Truth to UFOs, Shamley said his activism irked his superiors during a decorated career in the Army. "I did classes in the military on the New World Order, etc., to my troops and my platoons," he said. "Everything from the sham of fiat money and the federal reserve centralized banking system to the Illuminati to Council of Foreign Relations, Tri-Lats, all the typical subjects and me and my squad leaders, we would hand out literature and have classes in the barracks at night." (You can rent the video for $3.99 on Amazon.)

Shamley and The Hour of the Time have dabbled in 9/11 truther theories. Shamley believes the show's former host, a Christian Identity theorist and former member named William Cooper, was assassinated for predicting that the New World Order would bring down the World Trade Center. He penned a 2002 essay in which he contended that "terrorism is really just part of a grand Hegelian dialectic scheme to bring about their desired change and the end result that the illuminati want, a New World Order." But Shamley says 9/11 is not a focal point for him: "I don't hardly ever talk about 9/11 because what I said from the beginning to pretty much anyone who has ever asked is we'll never know everything there is to know about it."

Nice to know that republicans are turning to such sane people for advice on environmental policy. Although in light of the insanity of their environmental policies, I suppose there is a consistency in their choice of advisers.
