9. Satanists Are Taking Over America

Credit this one to Alex Jones, the fearless conspiracy theorist who’s risking his life to report on the Satanist elites attempting to breed a master race that will take over America.

To those of us born before 2000, this smacks of too many viewings of Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby, where Mia Farrow’s suspicions about her odd neighbors are justified when they reveal themselves as Satanists. They even use her as a vessel for bringing into the world Satan’s child who, in a nice touch, has his father’s eyes.

Like Polanski, Jones believes the conspiracy is taking place on America’s east coast and already includes several well-connected people. In November 2016, he claimed that Hillary Clinton was part of a witch’s coven.
