Controversial chef Pete Evans has urged his fans to read an essay on conspiracy theories by American public speaker Charles Eisenstein.

In a video posted on Instagram on Friday, the former My Kitchen Rules judge said it was ‘important’ that his followers engage with Eisenstein’s latest article.

In the lengthy blog titled The Conspiracy Myth, Eisenstein addressed some of the theories surrounding the  pandemic.

It’s important to remember, however, that there is no factual basis for any of the coronavirus conspiracy theories being circulated online.

Eisenstein claimed the conspiracy theories about COVID-19 were being ‘fuelled by the authoritarian response to the pandemic’. 

He said many people believe – incorrectly – that ‘an evil, power-hungry cabal of insiders deliberately created the pandemic, or is at least ruthlessly exploiting it, to frighten the public into accepting a totalitarian world government under permanent medical martial law, a New World Order’.

Pete, 47, said Eisenstein’s opinions closely mirrored his own – that is, he believes the government’s response to coronavirus has stoked paranoia.

Pete told his followers: ‘Have a read of this beautiful man’s words.He always has such a wondrous way of illustrating and communicating his thoughts, and they echo mine, but he says it so much more beautifully.’ 

In another Instagram post on Friday, Pete shared a screenshot of Eisenstein’s essay and urged his supporters to read it.

‘IMPORTANT.Please read the whole essay from start to finish whether you believe in conspiracy myths or staunchly oppose them,’ he wrote.

‘This is powerful and beautiful.Thank you @charles_eisenstein once again for voicing my own thoughts in a much more succinct and wonderful way and even allowing the space for me to open up even more and question my own beliefs.’

In his essay, Eisenstein claimed the coronavirus pandemic had enabled powerful forces to gain more control in society.

‘The solution template is, facing any problem, to find something to control – to quarantine, to track, to imprison, to wall out, to dominate, or to kill,’ he wrote.
