"At first glance, it's just an aluminum hat fantasy. But behind Xavier Naidoo's stories is an ideology that can drive people to violence.
You can hardly look away when Xavier Naidoo cries. Traces of tears run down his cheeks from his swollen eyes. He pulls up the mucus in his nose, struggles for words. And then Naidoo finally reveals what obviously moves him so much: Allegedly, children in particular are being freed from the hands of criminal networks. Behind it is a conspiracy myth that has misled people for centuries.
The singer's selfie video is just one of several that have been circulating since March, initially on Telegram and now also on YouTube. In it, Naidoo talks about the myth of a secret group that is said to torture children in order to extract a valuable metabolite from their bodies. That sounds like the plot of a B-movie. But it is a myth that has been circulating like this since the Middle Ages. Nothing about it is true. If you take it exactly, you can't even call it "theory".
As early as 1235, Jews in Fulda were accused of killing Christian children to drink their blood. To this day ritualized child murders are a classic among conspiracy myths . Depending on the myth, this also includes hidden tunnel systems and satanic torture rituals. Sometimes the alleged perpetrators are Jews, sometimes an undefined secret elite. Incidentally, the metabolic product from Naidoo's story can be easily produced in the laboratory . Nobody has to torture children for this."
