"The incredible inside story of the organised PR campaign to build belief in conspiracy theories.In the mornings Will Camden sells tea bags and train travel. In the afternoons he sells Aliens and the Illuminati.
Confessions of a Professional Conspiracy Theorist is an eye-opening novel about PR, marketing, psychology, sociology, persuasion, propaganda, and conspiracy culture.

"...The Living Word Fellowship was a Christian cult, established as a farming community by John Robert Stevens in southern California in 1951, and initially formed by religious hippies and artists. “The Walk” came from the teaching that every Christian should have a “personal walk” with Jesus and reached a peak in the 1970s with an estimated 1,000-member congregations. They were centred at Shiloh, a farm and retreat site near Kalona, Iowa. It is here that Cox brought his wife and daughter; the three essentially vanished, leaving Ono with no idea of where her daughter had been taken to."
