==Conspiracy theories==
Veith's presentations repeat material published by anti-Catholics (such as Alberto Rivera) and by Theosophists (such as Helena P. Blavatsky) as truth. As with many other conspiracy-theories promoted within SDA circles, Rome and the Catholic Church frequently figure in such ideas as the central villains.
Notable theories include:
* Islam is a creationproduct of the Catholic Church.Total Onslaught 216 - The Islamic Connection.
* The United Nations has an occult agenda.Total Onslaught 226 - The UN and the Occult Agenda.
* Global warming is a lie exposed by the Oregon Petition, and Agenda 21 is the UN's roadmap for control of the world.Global Warming or Global Control?
* The New World Order.Total Onslaught 221 - A New World Order.
* The New Age is somehow tied to Jesuits, the Antichrist, and ... NASA. Veith was invited to the talk about this "theory" in greater detail with fellow SDA group Little Light Studios, known for making videos "exposing" the hidden messages behind many things in pop culture, with some videos even echoing many of Veith's stupid conspiracy theories (in other words, fear-mongering clickbait bullshit).Total Onslaught 223 - The New Age Agenda.Who Really Controls ALL ﻿Secret Societies? | Illuminati, Freemasons, Jesuits, Skull & Bones. Little Light Studios, YouTube, 25 October 2024.
* Predicting that Jesus will come in 2027 because Veith said in a presentation back in 2022 that we're living in the end times. Apparently to Veith, the Covid-19 pandemic was one of the many signs of the imminent second coming of Christ.Walter Veith & Martin Smith, Will the World end around 2027? Clash of minds What's Up Prof 9. Path Finder, YouTube, 3 April 2022.
His presentation technique consists of a gish gallop of bullshit, sprinkled with comments like "isn't that interesting?" For example, did you know that the New Orleans Police Department has a crescent-and-star symbol on their police cars? Clearly this indicates an affiliation with Islam, and not (for example) that Crescent City's cops also include a star in their symbology. The tie to Catholicism is clearly demonstrated by the fact that the Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel also has the same star-and-crescent symbol in one of their stained-glass windows! Amazingly this does not mean that it was donated by the cops, despite the fact that the symbol in the window also explicitly says "New Orleans Police".
Veith makes sure his audience knows he's just asking questions. Most Seventh-day Adventist churches have distanced themselves from his teachings, likely because they find them crazy.
