Lara Logan, Journalist Claims The Rothschilds Paid Darwin To Invent Evolution
- Daily Kos, March 29, 2022.
Lara Logan needs an intervention. I say that with sadness as she was once an intrepid and well-respected war correspondent. I do not know the cause of her decline. Although in 2011, she suffered a brutal sexual assault by a crazed mob of Egyptians celebrating the resignation of Hosni Mubarak in Tahrir Square, Cairo. For 25 minutes, her life was in the hands of a mindless mass. And her injuries hospitalized her for 4 days. It is understandable if the event scarred her mentally as well as physically. But perhaps she had started on her downward path before. But regardless of how she got to where she is today, here she is- a QAnon believer with a full-blown set of delusions, painful to listen to.
She offered her most recent craziness on a QAnon loving show, And we know during which she feverishly told the host:
- (LL) "Does anyone know when, who employed Darwin? Where Darwinism comes from? Well, I mean, you know, look it up. The Rothschilds." -
Right-wing zealots are always telling people to look it up. Why? If you want me to buy your theories, provide the links. It is not my responsibility to make your argument for you. The truth is that there are no links except those to the hysterical, ill-researched, evidence-free claims that ricochet around the vacuous echo chamber of the right-wings fear-mongering. But I will play along. Why would the Rothschilds pay for Darwinism? How does a belief in evolution line the pockets of the Jewish bankers & finance their New World Order? How does a covid vaccine-delivered chip advance the Gates/Soros plot for world domination? What is the mechanism? But that is the lunatic fringe for you- not much thought given to how. But Logan had more. She roped in the British Prime Minister and the origin of the universe:
- (LL) "It goes back to Ten Downing Street. The same people who employed Darwin. And thats when Darwin wrote his theory of evolution- and so on, and so on. Im not saying that none of that is true. Im just saying that Darwin was hired by someone to come up with the theory. OK. Based on the evidence, OK fine. But even the people, the scientists, all of the people who can take you back to the Big Bang, what is the one question they can never, ever, ever answer? They can never tell you what that was. Whether it is the molecules or the energy, or, you know, all that stuff. " -
Lets note that the Theory of Evolution talks about the spread of biological diversification on Earth that began with rudimentary life about 4 billion years ago. A process that started some 9.8 billion years after the Big Bang. As for scientists not knowing what something is, they would be the first to tell you. No reputable scientist has ever claimed insight into what happened before the Big Bang. It is only the religious who are confident they have the right answer when there is no evidence for their position. As for Darwin being hired. Why has no one mentioned that before? Darwin came from a prosperous upper-middle-class English family. He was one of many Victorian gentleman scientists who pursued their interests free of financial care...

Wiki, - Comments about Darwin and the Rothschild family: In March 2022, Logan claimed, without evidence, that Charles Darwin was employed by the Rothschild family to create his theory of evolution. She also promoted claims that the Rothschild family, a frequent target of antisemitic conspiracy theories, engineered the American Civil War, and the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Logan

- Darwin was clear there are evolutionary deviations which cause individuals who inherit those genes to fail and die off quicker. Nowhere was this ever more obvious than with the COVID vaccine deniers. This Lara Logan anti-Semite, another evolutionary failure.
- Is it any great surprise that people who dont except evolution cant grasp the challenge that covid variants pose? Is it any great surprise that this same ilk is willing to believe that covid was created in a Chinese bioweapons lab, or maybe a Rothchild bioweapons lab?
- Even sadder is this isnt some new crackpot idea.. Ive even heard versions where the Holocaust was God punishing the Jews for everything from compound interest to Darwin.
- Oof- such unhinged anti-semitism- the inference that the Rothschilds, a famous Jewish family, bankrolled one of most scientifically-unimpeachable arguments against the existence of a creating God, is abhorrent.
- Science adviser to Klaus Schwab was a similar dog-whistle. Logan is messed up.
- Perhaps he was getting paid by the hour?
- Well, of course she doesnt believe in evolution. Its in the modern, conservative DNA.
- As to the chicken and egg conundrum, science solved that some years ago. The answer is the chicken.

(53,956 posts)It is disturbing the number, level, and frequency of anti-Semitic "theories" we are experiencing. It is, frankly, as disturbing as the lack of interest in anti-Semitism. While other bigotries are bemoaned and fought, anti-Semitism and the Jews are treated like the red-headed stepchild. From Holocaust denial to Holocaust inversion, from denial of anti-Semitism being only discrimination against Jews, to anti-Semitism being "'splained" to Jews. If more people really understood anti-Semitism, its history, its pull, and its longevity, and started to address these issues, more things might start to fall into place in a good way, because some bad things could be cut off before they occur. But, that isn't the current world.

To me, the answer is obviously the egg, which was laid by a proto-chicken (a pre-chicken ancestor).
