• The "Automatic Writing" Global Plot

  The "Automatic Writing" Global Plot was the belief that post-World War I diplomacy, especially the making of the Treaty of Versailles, was being invisibly influenced through mediums, trance dictation, automatic writing, or other forms of spirit-guided text production. The theory emerged from a period when automatic writing had become a familiar Spiritualist practice and when large-scale political settlement seemed so consequential that ordinary authorship itself appeared insufficient to some observers. In its strongest form, the plot held that ghosts, discarnate intelligences, or dead statesmen were dictating the treaty’s terms through receptive intermediaries around world leaders. The theory turned diplomatic authorship into an occult communications conspiracy.
