        The book store near where I grew up had a section with all these types of books. When I was young, I went out of my way to check them out because I was fascinated with ufo’s and conspiracies and wanted to buy one. I remember flipping through a few books and it was all pure word salad. I was like, how am I supposed to learn about all these cool supposed theories when they’ve all lost the ability to command the English language let alone some sort of coherent narrative thread.

          I did read a few pages of a book like this once in a bookstore I worked in, had a bit more of a religious bent. We used to read each other passages of crazy for amusement. I’m sure there’s plenty of conservative Christians who believe this stuff. Ever seen snake handling church?

      It looks more like a sincere but mentally ill person to me. But there’s no way to know.
