Rothschild's book The Storm is Upon Us (2021), which examines the QAnon movement, was published by Melville House Publishing. An updated edition was published in 2022.[3][4] In 2023, Rothschild published Jewish Space Lasers, in which he discusses the Rothschild banking family and many of the conspiracy theories about world domination that have been put forward by them. He himself is not a member of the family.[5][6] The title of the work was originally adopted by the media as a name for a conspiracy theory put forward by former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, according to which the California wildfires were deliberately caused by a space laser linked to the Rothschilds.[6]
