'''Joseph Gregory Hallett''' aka '''King John III''', '''The Hidden King''' and '''Mashiach-Christ-Messiah''' {{lived|14 September 1961|}} is a [[New Zealand]] pseudo-[[journalist]] and [[conspiracy theorist]] who, after self-publishing a series of books elaborating complex historical and anti-communist conspiracy theories, made the shocking discovery that the current {{wpl|British royal family|British Royal lineage}} was illegitimate and that he himself was the rightful {{wpl|Monarchy of the United Kingdom|King of England|.}}<ref name=dailystar>[https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/qanons-latest-wild-conspiracy-theory-22850036 QAnon's latest wild conspiracy theory claims Queen has no right to the throne] by Michael Moran (October 15, 2020) ''Daily Star''</ref> His subsequent attempts to assert this claim in a series of [[Pseudolaw|pseudo-legal]] documents have won him some support among the [[QAnon]] and [[sovereign citizen]] movements and nowhere else. The majority of his claims are to be found on his website:

This should give you some idea of what to expect and the difficulty of coherently summarising his [[Argument by gibberish|gibberish]] here.

==A peek behind the Iron Curtain==
Hallett's early life, as detailed in his self-penned Amazon bio,<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001JSEBP2/about Greg Hallett] ''Amazon.com''.</ref> is as follows:
{{Quotebox|Trained in various [[psychological]] models in parallel with his architecture degree and training. He travelled widely behind the [[Iron Curtain]] during the [[Cold War]], hitchhiking on planes, making bunks out of airmail bags, to party and report between cities. His contacts in Eastern Europe led to deep penetration of the [[Soviet Union|Soviet State]], how it functioned and how it was to [[Colonialism|colonise]] the [[Western world|West]].}}

This unique background gave him access to insider knowledge:
{{Quotebox|It was these qualifications that led him to buy buildings in Moscow immediately after the [[Berlin Wall]] fell. This led to interviews with the [[KGB]] and their revelations about the planned [[sex]]-[[communism]] and deconstruction of Westerners. What they had planned for the West happened in the West. Equally all modern [[history]] can be dated back to 1945. What [[Adolf Hitler]] planned for the world happened to the world over the next sixty years.}}

What he learned formed the basis of a series of self-published books detailing elaborate [[Pseudohistory|pseudo-historical]] and anti-communist conspiracy theories.

==Hitler was a British agent==
[[File:HitlerWasABritishAgentCover.jpg|thumb|right|165px|Sounds legit, right?]]
The most popular of his self-published conspiracy theory books is his 2006 masterpiece ''Hitler Was a British Agent'', which he co-wrote with ''The Spymaster'':
{{Quotebox|I interviewed the KGB in Moscow in December 1989 at a point when they were open, due to lack of pay. At the time you could buy information for the price of a meal. This led to some psychological information being supplied which led to international contacts and meeting with a Spymaster. The Spymaster and other intelligence operatives have been briefing me for the past three years resulting in ten books. This is book five of ten (and just to confuse you) there are four books in this immediate series. — Greg Hallett<ref name=amazon>[https://www.amazon.com/Hitler-British-Agent-Solving-History/dp/047311478X/ ''Hitler Was a British Agent''] ''Amazon.com''.</ref>}}

As this introduction suggests, Hallett's book is an incoherent stream of consciousness covering such topics as Hitler's parentage, his [[homosexuality]], his fetishes, his psychiatric condition, and many other entirely unsourced claims. It reveals [[Rudolf Hess]]'s [[doppelgänger]]; {{wpl|Martin Bormann||'s}} removal from Berlin in ''Operation James Bond'', exposing the "real" {{wpl|James Bond}} to have been, "a lot younger and more homicidal than anyone had previously thought," (not to mention a lot realer, apparently);{{efn|Bormann committed [[suicide]] in 1945 while trying to flee Germany. James Bond did not exist as a literary character until Ian Fleming's book ''Casino Royale'' was published in 1953.}} and Hitler's rescue from Berlin in ''Operation Winnie the Pooh'', interviewing James Bond III on the attempted assassination of Hitler well after his reported suicide in Berlin. He also outs the [[British Royal Family]] as spies, perverts, and morons, detailing {{wpl|Wallis Simpson||'s}} sexual practises with [[Edward VIII]] and leaking British secrets to Hitler, and {{wpl|Anthony Blunt||'s}} royal parentage. Before finally coming to the extraordinary conclusion that Hitler, along with [[Lenin]], [[Stalin]], and [[Mao Zedong]], manipulated by something called ''deconstruction'', were British agents acting, of course, for the [[Rothschild family]].<ref name=amazon/><ref name=dailytelegraphnz>[https://archive.ph/cDOX7 What Happened to Joseph Gregory Hallett?] by Jack Freestone (August 5, 2022) ''Daily Telegraph New Zealand'' (archived: March 29, 2024)</ref>

==The man who would be king==
[[File:KingJohnIIIArms.jpg|thumb|right|165px|Looks legit, right?]]
Hallett claims that the Rothschilds (them again) purchased "breeding rights" to the Royal family as part of a series of dodgy deals around the funding of the [[Napoleonic Wars]] and that every British monarch since 1840 is as a result a "flat lie royal":<ref name=dailystar /><ref name=hallett /><ref name=dailytelegraphnz />

*{{wpl|George V}} was fathered by {{wpl|Alexander III of Russia||,}}hence his resemblance to his half-brother (not cousin) {{wpl|Nicholas II||,}} during a "{{wpl|Black Moon||"}} in [[Denmark]], while {{wpl|Edward VII}} was on a visit to [[Sweden]].
*[[Queen Elizabeth II]] and her sister {{wpl|Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon|Princess Margaret}} were actually conceived through {{wpl|artificial insemination}} by [[Winston Churchill]] and the maid of supposed {{wpl|Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother|Queen Mother Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon|,}} hence {{wpl|Lyons Maid}} ice cream (founded by {{wpl|J. Lyons and Co.}}).
**Elizabeth was born in 1926 at 5 (not {{wpl|Bruton Street|17}}) Bruton St above the Coach & Horses pub, this fact was revealed by {{wpl|Coco Chanel||,}} who lived with the {{wpl|Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster|Duke of Westminster}} nearby (not in [[Paris]] where her couture house was), in her {{wpl|Chanel No. 5}} perfume (first presciently released in 1921).
***Further confirmation is seen in the {{wpl|Audrey Hepburn}} films ''{{wpl|Roman Holiday}}'' (1953, Coronation year), which is an anagram of "H. Royal Domain" and features a coach and horse; and ''{{wpl|My Fair Lady}}'' (1964), which confirms Elizabeth is a "Mayfair Lady".
**June 2nd, 1953 is known as "Coronation Day" (not the "{{wpl|Coronation of Elizabeth II||"}}) as it was the "Coronation of Silent Weapons of Quiet Wars", as demonstrated in the [[backmasking]] of Elizabeth's acceptance speech revealing, "Someone’s making it up".
*[[King Charles III]] is the actual son of Queen Elizabeth and [[heroin]] dealer {{wpl|Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh|Prince Philip}} due to extortion by {{wpl|Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma|Lord Mountbatten|,}} who threatened to reveal the truth, however, {{wpl|Prince Andrew, Duke of York|Prince Andrew}} was illegitimately fathered by {{wpl|Henry Herbert, 7th Earl of Carnarvon|Lord Porchester|,}} and {{wpl|Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh|Prince Edward}} by {{wpl|Robin Plunket, 8th Baron Plunket|Lord Plunket|.}}
**Oh and Prince Philip had the Queen's lesbian lover Grace Kelly murdered, but that's all by the by. 
*{{wpl|William, Prince of Wales|Prince William}} was fathered by {{wpl|Juan Carlos I|King Juan Carlos of Spain}} and [[Prince Harry]] by {{wpl||James Hewitt|,}} as Charles was forbidden from having children with [[Princess Diana]], although he does apparently have five illegitimate children including two with {{wpl|Queen Camilla|Camilla|.}}

Hallett's claim to the throne comes through {{wpl|Anne Boleyn||,}} whom he asserts survived her execution and sired a Royal Holy Grail lineage, including {{wpl|Walter Raleigh||,}} {{wpl|Samuel Bellamy||,}} and, of course, Hallett himself. He even claims to have had this confirmed by a visit from Queen Elizabeth's personal physician.

==Pandemic proclamations==
{{main|COVID-19 pandemic}}
Coming to prominence during the pandemic, Hallett  has made the obligatory criticisms of the track and trace app, claims [[anti-vaccination movement|vaccines do "absolutely nothing" apart from kill people]], and accusations that [[Bill Gates]] is the "biggest international criminal in the world". He's also denounced [[George Soros]] for orchestrating the [[Black Lives Matter]] protests.<ref name=dailystar /> This won him allegiance from exactly the sort of potential groups that one would expect.

Initial support for Hallett's claims came from [[sovereign citizen]] Darral Pinch who had his "Common Law Court" validate King John III's pseudo-legal documents, before seeing the error of his ways just in time to attend the coronation of unemployed security guard Gareth Barrett who proclaimed himself to be [[King Arthur]].<ref>[https://the-citizens.com/2021/10/how-sovereign-citizen-ideology-found-a-home-in-the-uks-anti-vax-movement/ Putting the UK on notice: How US legal fiction inspired aggressive action from UK anti-vaxxers] by Katherine Denkinson (October 31, 2021) ''The Citizens''</ref>

Hallett's claims were also embraced by large portions of the [[QAnon]] movement, including, according to Hallett anyway, [[Donald Trump]] himself. Some, however, were more skeptical and used their QAnon-honed pseudo-[[critical thinking]] skills to link him to [[Jeffrey Epstein]] associate {{wpl|Ghislaine Maxwell||,}} the [[Nazis]] and [[Satan]] (in that order), and suggest he may in fact be the {{wpl|Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse|First Horseman of the Apocalypse|.}}<ref name=dailystar />
