Rudy Reichstadt is founder of the French website Conspiracy Watch. He is a 'first tier' member in the French cell of the Integrity Initiative.[1]
Career
Reichstadt's early determination to hunt down the conspiracy of all kinds came to the notice of the historian Pierre-André Taguieff and the influential 'humanitarian interventionist' writer Bernard-Henri Lévy, who opened the doors of his magazine to Reichstadt.
In 2007, he founded the website Conspiracy Watch, an 'Observatory of conspiracy and conspiracy theories'.
The site is used as a resource by the Ministry of National Education. He is regularly used as a source for authorative quotations by French commercially-controlled media when they want to smear somebody.
He was part of the campaign against British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, and has been used as an attack dog against people like French leftist political leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon and prominent anti-imperialists like Jean Ziegler.[2]
Opinions
According to Reichstadt, "The conspiratorial world view, the "conspiracy mentality" in general, the belief that occult powers secretly pull the strings of politics, economics or the media, manipulating public opinion and plotting dark plots against the public good is gaining ground in proportions that everyone agrees today to be of concern." - a quite hypocritical statement coming from someone part of Integrity Initiative (which presumably is the 'everyone' in the quote).
In April 2019, Reichstadt stated that the under-35s are two to three times more likely to believe "conspiracy theories".[3]
