# The Inside Story Of The Charlatan Who Duped The Nation’s Top ConservativesZack Beauchamp Jan 31, 2014, 12:50 am* [Email](<mailto:?body=The Inside Story Of The Charlatan Who Duped The Nation’s Top Conservativeshttps://thinkprogress.org/the-inside-story-of-the-charlatan-who-duped-the-nations-top-conservatives-4982960c5412/>)* [SMS](<sms:?body=The Inside Story Of The Charlatan Who Duped The Nation’s Top Conservatives https://thinkprogress.org/the-inside-story-of-the-charlatan-who-duped-the-nations-top-conservatives-4982960c5412/>)* [WhatsApp](<whatsapp://send?text=The Inside Story Of The Charlatan Who Duped The Nation’s Top Conservatives https://thinkprogress.org/the-inside-story-of-the-charlatan-who-duped-the-nations-top-conservatives-4982960c5412/>)On New Year’s Eve, I learned FEMA’s “Dirty Little Secret.”It was the title of a fascinating email, one that had somehow dodged my spam filter. The message was suffused with breathless concern about the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s recent order of “420 million survival meals;” such provisions are apparently “the #1 most critical item in a crisis.” You see, “FEMA knows that if you control the food supply, then you control the people.”Normally, such paranoid ramblings merit nothing more than a quick delete and a sad shake of the head. But the New Year’s note stood out because of the source. I was being alerted to FEMA’s nefarious plot by no less than National Review, the nation’s most important conservative magazine.“Please find this special message from our sponsoring advertiser Food4Patriots,” the publication wrote. “This important support affords us the continuing means to provide you with National Review’s distinctly conservative and always exceptional news and commentary. We encourage you to patronize our sponsors.”Since being added to National Review’s subscriber list, I had received four emails from the venerable publication selling me on Food4Patriots’ plan to “make darn sure your family won’t go hungry or get herded into a FEMA camp” by purchasing the dehydrated food they’re hawking. Indeed, Food4Patriots is deeply ensconced in the conservative movement, placing its ads in both more mainstream outlets (Fox News, Townhall.com) and fringier sites (Glenn Beck’s The Blaze, RedState, WorldNetDaily).What Spider does on thinkprogress.org
