Serge Monast (1945 – 5 or 6 December 1996[1][2]) was a Quebecois conspiracy theorist. He is mostly known for his promotion of the Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory, which posits a plot to facilitate a totalitarian world government by destroying Abrahamic religions and replacing them with a New Age belief system using futuristic NASA technology and involving a faked alien invasion or fake extraterrestrial encounter meant to deceive nations into uniting under a world government.[3]

Biography
editIn the early 1990s, he started writing on the theme of the New World Order and conspiracies hatched by secret societies, being particularly inspired by the works of William Guy Carr.[citation needed]
In 1994, he published Project Blue Beam (NASA), in which he detailed his claim that NASA, with the help of the United Nations, was attempting to implement a New Age religion with the Antichrist at its head and start a New World Order, via a technologically-simulated Second Coming of Christ.[citation needed] He also gave talks on this topic.[4][better source needed] Cartoonist Christopher Knowles noted[5] the similarity of Project Blue Beam to the plots of Gene Roddenberry's unproduced 1975 Star Trek screenplay The God Thing and the 1991 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Devil's Due.
In 1995, he published his most detailed work, Les Protocoles de Toronto (6.6.6), modelled upon The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, wherein he said a Masonic group called "6.6.6" had, for twenty years, been gathering the world's powerful to establish the New World Order and control the minds of individuals.[citation needed]
He died of a heart attack in his home in December 1996,[1][2] at age 51.
Copies of his works still circulate on the Internet, and have influenced such later conspiracy theorists as American evangelical preacher Texe Marrs.[3] Project Blue Beam was also indirectly referenced in an episode from the fifth season of American adult animated sitcom American Dad!.
