Mike Rothschild

Author / Conspiracy theory expert

Mike is the author of “Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories” on the Rothschild banking family mythology, called “a patient and painstaking invalidation of antisemitism” by Publishers Weekly. His 2021 book “The Storm is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything" was the first book to examine this powerful and bizarre theory, called “a chilling overview of a movement that should arguably have no place in any healthy, well-educated society” by the Telegraph.

Beyond his work as an author, Mike has served as an expert witness in major legal cases related to conspiracy theories, has guest lectured at numerous college classes and at conferences, and testified to Congress in June 2022 on the dangers of election-related disinformation. He has been interviewed by the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, and hundreds of other news outlets and podcasts.
