The latest issue of the Globe tabloid had me rolling my eyes with its cover story that Queen Elizabeth has made Prince William King. In case you didn't know, that isn't going to happen. The line of succession is quite clear, Charles will be the next King, unless he dies before the Queen. The Queen just can't arbitrarily make someone King.
So I was sitting here tonight, snooping around to see how many people actually believe this kind of thing. But as I did I found an interesting example of kookery. Some folks believe Prince William is the Antichrist. I shouldn't have been particularly surprised, since there's a few people who believe King Juan Carlos of Spain is the Antichrist. So why not the much better known William? I suppose there's even someone who has a theory that Crown Prince Naruhito, heir to the Japanese throne, is the Antichrist.
Specifically I stumbled across this page, but of course there are others out there. I find it amusing that it talks about Princess Diana's supposed "prediction" that the succession would skip a generation, and that William will be the next monarch. Personally I wouldn't call that a prediction, I'd call that wishful thinking.
Fair warning, Help Free the Earth seems to be run by people who'll believe just about every conspiracy theory they've run across. That includes that persistent piece of scumbaggery, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. They try the old "We don't hate Jews, only Zionists." dodge, but you can bet your bottom dollar they've never heard of a Jew they don't think is an evil Zionist who wants to take over the world. On the other hand I find it amusing that they think Alex Jones is actually a tool of the New World Order. You'd think more conspiracy theorists would consider the possibility that other conspiracy theorists are trying to manipulate them for the bad guys. Of course it's probably as much about being jealous that Jones has a significant public profile, and they don't, as any belief Jones works for the enemy.
