- I'm Adam Harris.
I'm a staff writer
at "The Atlantic,"
where I cover education
and national politics.
There's this thought
that conspiracy thinking
only is--you know,
only makes appearances
in certain communities,
that there's a certain type
of person
that is susceptible
to conspiracy theories.
But when I would go
to the barbershop
on a weekly basis, you would
hear different things about,
you know,
the "New World Order."
You would hear things
about illuminati.
But then there
are also reasons
why people believe things
like that.
There have historically
been conspiracies
that have panned out.
I have relatives
who were a part
of the Tuskegee
Syphilis Experiment.
- The United States'
government
did something that was wrong.
Deeply, profoundly,
morally wrong.
- A 40-year experiment,
where nearly 400 Black men
living with syphilis
were denied treatment.
Public health officials
wanting to see
the effect of the disease
untreated.
As a result,
more than 100 men died
from syphilis
or related complications.
- You know,
civil rights leaders
were actively surveilled
by, you know,
counterintelligence agencies.
- 56 years after the death
of Malcolm X,
lawyers revealed what they call
"new evidence of a conspiracy."
- Ray Wood
was an undercover officer.
He wrote a letter
in his death bed
confessing that New York City
police department
and the FBI both conspired
to kill
the civil rights activist.
- You can see where
that mistrust
of a common narrative
comes about.
- There's Watergate.
There's Iran-Contra.
- There are plots
that are real.
- What do you do
with that information?
Do you use it
as a way to say that,
"Okay, well, we should
question things,"
or does it drive you
further down
a rabbit hole of conspiracy?
[somber music]
♪ ♪
- Been talking about, uh,
the life of the apostle Paul.
What I love about this passage
is no matter what
Paul went through,
he kept going.
No matter how many death
threats he got, he kept going.
And God protected him
the entire trip.
So I'm gonna say something.
It sounds weird and spooky,
but it's the truth.
You are invincible
until God says you're done.
I'm telling you,
you are going to survive
until God says it's time
for you to come home.
So quit frettin'.
Quit worryin'.
I've watched God protect people
way too many times, okay?
I've watched God answer prayer
way too many times.
In big areas
and in little areas.
There is no natural reason
they hadn't gotten me yet.
No natural reason. Okay?
And we're talking about people
that hate our church galore.
It could happen at any second.
What has God done?
He's protected us.
God protects His people.
In big ways, in little ways,
in every way.
Amen, fellas?
All right, that's good stuff,
but, uh,
we gotta share
some prayer requests
so we can roll on here
in a little bit.
All right,
what--what do we got?
Got any prayer requests?
Yes, sir.
- Just wanna mention [bleep].
He's lost 19 pounds
from being sick
over the last week and a half
with Covid.
And I have more faith now
that God's gonna get him
through this
after talking to him yesterday,
but he still needs prayer.
- Amen. All right.
- Lift up brother [bleep].
He's been down
for about 15 days.
He's not doing well,
so if we would
just come together
as a body of Christ
and pray over [bleep]

- Yup. Gotta keep standing.
- Yeah, it is.
Yes, sir?

because she refused
the vaccination.
They wouldn't accept

we go into prayer, praise God.

All right?
And you can quote me on that.
Let's pray.

as much as I can.
Listen, listen,
you have to decide
if the risk you're taking
to defend your status
as a woman,
is worth going to jail
for five or six years.
Or if you wanna agree
to the power of the court,
you wanna agree
to their contract,
and you wanna hire Carmen
and say, "Yes, I will agree
to the court,
"and I will take a plea deal,
and I'll take 18 to 24 months
probation."
And you won't be in jail.

- Recently, we've seen several
conspiracy theories,
like, pop up
at school board meetings.
- School board races
are normally quiet contests
centered on local issues
like budgets,
but this year, many of
these boards are engulfed
in nationalized, cultural,
hot-button fights.
- Parents and local leaders
will say really wild things
about the vaccines,
about masks.
- I wanna talk about
the real pandemic:
child sex trafficking.
By putting masks
on these kids' face,
you can't identify any of 'em.
So by the nine of you already
voting on this,
tells me you guys
support sex trafficking.
- A conspiracy theory
is a theory
that there is someone bigger
that is pulling the strings.
If there is a mask policy,
there is a reason for that
that extends to the upper
echelons of government.
- This is a bioweapon
to depopulate.
- It has everything to do
with submission and control.
- It's a long-term agenda,
Agenda 21,
which is called "Depopulation
by the New World Order."
- This is evil. It's darkness.
It is hell.
And these are criminals
for abusing our children.
You need to be
on the front lines every day!
- They're turning
into really aggressive,
and at some points,
potentially violent situations.
crowd: No more masks!
- All right.
crowd: No more masks!
crowd: Unmask our kids!
Unmask our kids!
- In Wisconsin, there were
several school board members
who resigned, saying that
the political environment
around the school board
had become too hostile.
- In a Facebook post,
Klatt wrote about
his family not feeling safe,
including an incident
where a car sat running
in front of his house
late at night.
- Down in Arizona, right,
a parent shows up
at his kid's school
with zip ties.
- So we're gonna go confront
them,
and if necessary, I'm gonna
make a citizen's arrest.
I'll show you.
Law-enforcement zip ties.
- A parent was told his son
could not attend a field trip
because he was exposed
to Covid-19.
Shortly after, the parent
showed up to the school office.
- One of them was--
was carrying zip ties.
Military, black, large zip ties
and standing in my doorway.
- You have this very tense
political environment,
where you have to walk out
into the parking lot
after a school board meeting.
- We know who you are!
- We know who you are!
- You can leave freely,
but we will find you!
And we know who you are!
- You will never be allowed
in public again!
- We know who you are!
- I'm hoping
to identify places
where conspiracy theorists
have made their way
onto school boards
or are trying to push
the school board
towards their worldview.
The question of what parents
and the kind of folks
who have gone to these extreme
levels are fighting for
is really kind of
what I'm trying to answer
with the reporting.

- The masks are a way
to control.
Uh, the masks are a way
to suppress.
The masks are a way
to instill fear.

of that control.

Stew Peters' show.
- They take a happy town

and safe streets,
and happy children,
and swiftly turn it
into an ugly cesspool
of corruption, and crime,
and filthy people.
Liberals are sick perverts,
and they want
to molest children.
Period.
- There's something terrible
going on,

that involves well-known folks
who think they are above
reproach and the law,
and it's horrific,
Especially when
it involves kids, I--I get...
- Yeah, I get really cuckoo
for that kind of stuff.
[ominous music]
- What this whole thing
really is
is the global sex trafficking
of children
by the ruling class
of society.
Businessmen, politicians,
entertainers, and financiers.
- Adrenochrome.
- When a child is in
such a state of terror
and there's adrenaline
pumping...
it is said
that it's like a crazy high
and there are
anti-aging benefits to it.
So that is the theory behind,
you know, why children
are being terrorized
is for the benefit
of these adults who want--
want these effects.
- Another reason why
the ruling class
loves sacrificing kids
is because the kids
produce something
called adrenochrome.
- It's an actual
ancient ritual
to terrify--mainly children
'cause they're more pure--
and then
you finally kill them,
and you drink their blood,
and it's, like,
the ultimate aphrodisiac,
it's like the fountain
of youth.
- Jim Caviezel,
who played Christ
in "The Passion of Christ,"
he talks about adrenochrome
and how sick these people are.
- If a child knows he's going
to die, uh,
his body will, uh, secrete
this, uh, adrenaline.
It's the worst horror
I've ever seen.
And these people that do it,
there'll be no mercy for them.
- I mean, he's an actor,
what does he know?
But I'm pretty sure
he got immersed in that world.
So again,
it's--you know, if you--
if you have two columns
of it's true, it's not true,
the true column,
it--it's just bursting.
The "oh, it's just bologna,"
is--is rather empty actually.
So there are terrible things
going on
and I think it's only
a matter of time
before plain folks in their--
in their bubble
will be forced to acknowledge
that there are some very ugly,
ugly things
going on around us
that we just never--
we just never knew about.
- The main
Covid soup ingredients?
Social distancing, face masks,
nose swabs,
PCR tests, quarantines,
lockdowns,
vaccinations, and fear.
All of this was done
on purpose.
It was planned years ago
as the depopulation agenda's
crowning glory.
I believe that there
are wealthy, powerful families
that want
to control everything.
And, you know, there are
various means to do that.
I think the, you know,
"pandemic" was--
was one of those things.
- You know,
it--it has become
a topic that I don't bring up.
It is been hard
with my children.
My daughter will tell you--
I said, "You are not
getting vaccinated."
My son got vaccinated
'cause he was 18 and I--
you know, I had no say
in the matter.
But for my daughter,
not going to happen
on--on my watch.
I hope that someday,
she will appreciate
how I'm trying
to fight for her.

about QAnon.
We asked Facchinello
if she is aligned with QAnon.
She told us she doesn't know

Then this one

Miss Facchinello was saying,
what was the sort of next step
that you took?

going to as many board meetings

And it's really hard to manage

Thank you very much, sir.

And also, if I have
any follow-up--
We just finished up
the board meeting.
It was actually interesting
because there were basically
like two parallel things
happening at the meeting.
There was like
the focus on education,
like what you would expect
a school board meeting
to be about, like this focus
on what the students are doing,
the focus on making sure the
school district
is financially viable
or financially sound.
And then you had, you know,
the loudest voices in the room
being the loudest voices
in the room.
And, you know, at the end,
I actually think
the thing I took the most
from the interviews at the end
was like from the students.
So what do you think
of the meeting,
including the regular
and the public comment?
- I thought
it was really disappointing
when it got to
the public concern section
of the meeting.
We trust science,
my friends and I,
so we know that
this is keeping us safe.
I've had Covid,
and I'm on
a rescue inhaler now.
So, like, it's really upsetting
to see that people challenge
and fight it
with all their might.
- One of the things
that I'm thinking about
and that I'm exploring
in this story is really about
what a deterioration of actual
local politics looks like.
I'm thinking a lot about
and worrying about, like,
what happens if that part
of the meeting,
and you know,
people who are wanting
to kind of derail
that regular business part,
what happens if that becomes
like a controlling part
of the meeting?
What does that mean
for how they're able
to conduct the actual business
of education?
Miss Facchinello?

So that is the theory behind,

the ruling class

any follow-up--

like two parallel things
happening at the meeting.

the focus on education,
like what you would expect

on what the students are doing,
the focus on making sure the
school district
is financially viable
or financially sound.

the loudest voices in the room
being the loudest voices
in the room.
And, you know, at the end,
I actually think
the thing I took the most
from the interviews at the end
was like from the students.
So what do you think
of the meeting,
including the regular
and the public comment?
- I thought
it was really disappointing
when it got to
the public concern section
of the meeting.
We trust science,
my friends and I,
so we know that
this is keeping us safe.
I've had Covid,
and I'm on
a rescue inhaler now.
So, like, it's really upsetting
to see that people challenge
and fight it
with all their might.
- One of the things
that I'm thinking about
and that I'm exploring
in this story is really about
what a deterioration of actual
local politics looks like.
I'm thinking a lot about
and worrying about, like,
what happens if that part
of the meeting,

to kind of derail
that regular business part,

our first seminar
in Greencastle, Pennsylvania.
It cost us $12,000

buy the meals for two days...
pay for the air travel,

We spent $12,000
