Serge Monast

I'm only begininng [sic] to now fully grasp the entire breath of Serge Monast's contributions to humanity and the unbelieveable courage he demonstrated in coming out with these incredible revelations which were secretly or anonymously given to him by contrite politicians, military people, or intelligence people who still possessed a conscience and a sense of humanity. Serge Monast (1945 - December 5, 1996) was a Québécois investigative journalist, poet, essayist, and conspiracy theorist. He is little-known to English-speaking non-crazy people except as the proponent of the Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory, but his works remain popular with French-speaking conspiracy enthusiasts, both skeptics and believers.

Biography
Who wants to, will know: but who wants to ignore, will deny all the evidence that will be brought, albeit compelling evidence! In the 1970s and 1980s, he did proper journalism that people read. He was an active member of the Social Credit party.

In the early 1990s, he went a bit funny and devoted himself to writing books on the theme of the New World Order and conspiracies hatched by secret societies, being particularly inspired by the works of fellow Canadian crazy person William Guy Carr.

He founded the International Free Press Agency (AIPL, l' Agence Internationale de Presse libre), where he published most of his work of this sort. In an interview on ufologist Richard Glenn's television show Ésotérisme Expérimental, he was unkempt and seemed obsessed with warning his audience about a World Government.

In 1994, he published Project Blue Beam (NASA). In 1995, he published his masterwork, Les Protocoles de Toronto (6.6.6), in which he revealed the secret activities of the Masonic group "666", who for twenty years have been gathering the world's powerful to establish the New World Order and control the minds of all people.

He claimed he was being hunted by the police and authorities for involvement in "networks of prohibited information." He homeschooled his son and daughter, who were then made wards of the state in September 1996 so that they would receive schooling, and Monast was arrested in December 1996, spent a night in jail, came home and died of a heart attack. His fans claim he was assassinated by "psychotronic weapons" to keep the truth about Project Blue Beam quiet, rather than suffering a massive coronary because he was 51 and the stress of having had his children taken away and spending a night in jail.

His fans claim that the Mel Gibson character in the 1997 film Conspiracy Theory is modelled on him.

Copies of his works still circulate on the internet, and have influenced such American crazies as Texe Marrs. Some have been reissued by French publisher and conspiracy theorist Jacques Delacroix.
