History
David Sorensen founded the site in May 2020. Sorensen identifies as a “missionary journalist” and uses the platform to challenge mainstream narratives, especially those surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The site’s mission is to provide a space for censored experts—scientists, physicians, and journalists. However, many claims on the site have been debunked as conspiracy theories. The website is based in Colorado.

Funded by / Ownership
StopWorldControl.com does not clearly disclose its ownership. However, David Sorensen is the public face, but there is no transparent ownership structure or indication of other key figures. The site solicits donations. It positions itself against “corrupt media” funded by billionaires but does not provide transparent financial data.
Analysis / Bias
The site shows a strong bias toward promoting right-wing conspiracy theories. It has published misleading claims about the 2020 U.S. election being stolen from Donald Trump and advances pro-Putin narratives regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. It claims, falsely, that Ukraine houses U.S. bioweapons labs and bombs its own people.
A significant focus of the website is on the COVID-19 pandemic, including unproven or false claims such as the pandemic being planned, vaccines being harmful, and unsubstantiated cures like hydroxychloroquine being effective. For example, it falsely claims that millions have died from the Covid-19 vaccine.
The website promotes numerous unfounded conspiracy theories, such as falsely claiming that the UN and WHO advocate for decriminalizing pedophilia and misrepresenting a report by the International Committee of Jurists.
Multiple stories from the site have been fact-checked and refuted by reputable outlets. For instance, the site’s portrayal of the COVID-19 virus and vaccines contradicts scientific consensus. It promotes myths like asymptomatic carriers not spreading COVID-19, which contradicts the findings of global health organizations.
In conclusion, StopWorldControl.com is an unreliable source that frequently promotes conspiracy theories and false information, particularly concerning COVID-19 and international politics. It lacks transparency about its funding, relies on poor sources, and routinely makes false claims.
Failed Fact Checks
- “Millions have died from COVID injections.” – Pants on Fire
- Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg admit that the covid vaccines modify the human DNA. – False
- Genetically edited people become property of the patent holder of the technology used to edit their genome. – False
- United Nations (UN) made a statement stating “Children must have sexual partners.” – False
Overall, we rate Stop World Control as a far-right conspiracy and pseudoscience site based on the promotion of unproven or baseless claims regarding governments and science. (D. Van Zandt 10/21/2024)
