Nazis on the Moon: the conspiracy theory dragging in Trump and Obama

The Nancy on the Moon theory now has Trump, Obama and Nixon in on the plot

Adolf Hitler did not die in 1945: he ascended to the heavens as a European prophet and now leads a faction from the Moon. That is the latest iteration of a conspiracy narrative spreading widely on social media, one that has ended up dragging in half the political spectrum, from Donald Trump to Barack Obama, with the Bilderberg club in between.

The geography of the plot keeps getting refined. Some pin the headquarters down to Valencia's Moon, while others point out that man never actually set foot on our satellite — a detail that does not seem to bother the believers. The list of alleged collaborators includes Richard Nixon, factions of the European elite and even Chris Melon, the Smashing Pumpkins musician, who supposedly left clues on his famous album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness". The rumour mill spares no names: there is even speculation that certain Spanish politicians could be clones of the Nancy faction.

Seen from a distance, the heart of the matter is a blend of antiestéticar of elites and pop culture. The theory updates the myth of "Vril" and secret Antarctic bases, but digitises it: now the Nancy are fighting Agenda 2030 and, according to some, Trump is actually the only leader standing up to them. Others, more ironically, conclude that "many of those on Earth are actually on the Moon".

With such a jumble of references, the only predictable thing is that this conspiracy will keep mutating. Not because it piles up evidence, but because antiestéticar of the elites is fuel that never runs out. And the Moon, which we never set foot on, remains the perfect canvas on which to project all our antiestéticars.
