It wasnt long ago that Lara Logan was a correspondent for CBS News, which is a little hard to believe considering the types of conspiracy theories shes been pushing since she left the network. The latest came during an appearance on the right-wing podcast And We Know, during which Logan suggested that the theory of evolution is the result of a wealthy Jewish family paying Charles Darwin to devise an explanation for what gave rise to humanity.
Does anyone know who employed Darwin, where Darwinism comes from? Logan, now with Fox News streaming service Fox Nation, asked. Look it up: The Rothschilds. It goes back to 10 Downing Street. The same people who employed Darwin, and his theory of evolution and so on and so on. Im not saying that none of that is true. Im just saying Darwin was hired by someone to come up with a theory based on evidence, OK, fine.
Logan rambled for a bit longer, but her point was that evolution is a chicken or the egg debate and you cant answer it scientifically and, while were here, Jews are trying to control the world with their money. Media Matters caught the claim on Monday.
The Rothschilds, who Logan says is responsible for the theory of evolution, are a Jewish family that often shows up in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) famously wrote on Facebook that the Rothschilds funded a space laser that started the California wildfires.

(101,311 posts)Fox Nation host Lara Logan used her Gettr account to promote a piece that claimed that Jewish people are behind a one world government" and central banking and big corporate money" and are the divider and conqueror and the aggressor, yet always the victim." The post Logan shared also claimed that the Rothschilds engineered the U.S. Civil War and the assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, and that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin purged "the Rothschild money changers.
...
On her verified Gettr account on March 15, Logan shared a piece on the fringe conspiracy theory website Political Vel Craft that pushes numerous antisemitic conspiracy theories. The article included the following image (posted with the file name zionists-jews.jpg) featuring a star of David and the headline, What Would Zionists Do? The list included the claim that Jewish people are behind a one world government and are the divider and conqueror, Federal Reserve, Wall Street, central banking and big corporate money, the MSM, Hollywood, tabloid journalism and pornography, and the aggressor, yet always the victim.

The antisemitic conspiracy theories she was spreading include:
Putins Purge Of The Rothschild Money Changers. The piece portrayed Putin as fighting the Rothschilds and purging the Rothschild Money Changers. (The text about Putin was posted prior to Russias invasion of Ukraine.)

Illuminati, Masons, Jewish conspiracy - pick one, blame everything you believe is not right with the world, and spin a story.
It doesn't need to be true, it just needs to feed the paranoia some people feel.
(If you believe any of this, seek help!)
Keep up the good work, Fox!

Torchlight
(3,331 posts)Capt. Fitzroy of the Beagle (and also a man of letters and scientist in his own right) appointed Darwin as an attendant on the trip to avoid loneliness and have a gentleman of letters to talk to during the ship's mission: surveying of particular areas of the Pacific (Capt Fitzroy had two close relative, both members of the British navy commit suicide while serving the empire; and the previous captain of the Beagle also committed suicide, though I don't remember why).
As to who paid for Darwin's trip and efforts? His uncle (MP and abolitionist), the same uncle who persuaded Chuck's dad to let him go, as Darwin Sr. was initially against the trip.

(5,395 posts)just another reason to blow up Fox.
(In a legal, non violent way of course, but if you insist . . .)
Seriously folks, Fox must have a think tank of drugged up conspiracy theorists generating these ideas and the talking heads are programmed to spew them, just to see which ones take root.
Track record on that isn't all that good to be honest.
I can't wait until they tap into the 'aliens are amongst us, watching, controlling us', area 51 mystery, alien mind control, causing wars, global warming.
Few other possibilities too, could get interesting!
Poor Lara! Moved up the pay scale by joining Fox, but at what cost to her sanity, credibility, and future employment prospects, when Fox self destructs or gets blown up? (See disclaimer at the top of this post.)

Evolution does not say there is or there isn't a God but it is the change of gene frequency over time and sex shuffles the deck.

I cannot imagine why a banking and investment family like the Rothschilds would have the slightest interest in the primordial origins of the human species. How could it improve their investments?
