Schoof, September 24, 1955) is an American author of conspiracy theory literature who has written a number of books claiming that a global elite who belong to Satanic bloodlines are conspiring to dominate the world. He has described his goal as "exposing the New World Order agenda."

Life and career Early life Springmeier's father, James E. Schoof, worked for the United States Agency for International Development as an international agriculturist, with a primary focus on developing the Balochistan area of Pakistan.

Springmeier's early work, The Watchtower & the Masons, focuses on the relationship between Jehovah's Witnesses and Freemasonry.
