{{cquote|I'm only begininng ''[sic]'' to now fully grasp the entire breath of Serge Monast's contributions to humanity and the unbelieveable courage he demonstrated in coming out with these incredible revelations which were secretly or anonymously given to him by contrite politicians, military people, or intelligence people who still possessed a conscience and a sense of humanity.|||Kudos from the [[crank]] community<ref>http://educate-yourself.org/cn/projectbluebeam25jul05.shtml</ref>}}
'''Serge Monast''' {{lived|1945|December 5, 1996}} was a  Québécois investigative journalist, poet, essayist, and [[conspiracy theorist]]. He is little-known to English-speaking non-crazy people except as the proponent of the [[Project Blue Beam]] conspiracy theory, but his works remain popular with French-speaking conspiracy enthusiasts, both skeptics and believers.

In the 1970s and 1980s, he did proper journalism that people read. He was an active member of the [[Social Credit]] party.

In the early 1990s, he went a bit funny<ref group=note>"You know … just a little … funny. And he went and did a silly thing." Merkin Muffley, ''Dr. Strangelove''</ref> and devoted himself to writing books on the theme of the [[New World Order]] and conspiracies hatched by secret societies, being particularly inspired by the works of fellow Canadian person {{wpl|William Guy Carr||.}}

He founded the International Free Press Agency (AIPL, ''l' Agence Internationale de Presse libre''), where he published most of his work of this sort. In an interview on [[ufo]]logist Richard Glenn's television show ''Ésotérisme Expérimental'',<ref name=esoexp>[http://esoterisme-exp.com/Section_main/Invite/monast.php That's a proper conspiracist beard, not a coat collar.]</ref> he was unkempt and seemed obsessed with warning his audience about a World Government.

In 1994, he published ''Project Blue Beam (NASA)''. In 1995, he published his masterwork, ''Les Protocoles de Toronto (6.6.6)'', in which he revealed the secret activities of the Masonic group "666", who for twenty years have been gathering the world's powerful to establish the [[New World Order]] and control the minds of all people.

He claimed he was being hunted by the police and authorities for involvement in "networks of prohibited information." He [[homeschooling|homeschooled]] his son and daughter, who were then made wards of the state in September 1996 so that they would receive schooling, and Monast was arrested in December 1996, spent a night in jail, came home and died of a heart attack.<ref>[https://archive.ph/4Aq9 MATTERS OF DEEP CONCERN TO US ALL.] W.

''"Au mois de décembre 1996, à Montréal, Serge Monast, de l’Agence Internationale de la Presse Libre, dont les activités étaient uniquement axées sur le journalisme d’enquête internationale aux niveaux économique, politique, militaire et médical, dévoilait des informations si stupéfiantes qu’elles lui coûtèrent la vie. Neuf ans après, ses informations se confirment les unes après les autres. Il est vrai qu’il était informé par des politiciens repentis, des agents des services secrets écœurés ; il recevait également des documents classifiés, ultra confidentiels, souvent anonymement ou transmis par des confrères situés aux quatre coins du monde."'' (Rough translation: "In December 1996, in Montreal, Serge Monast of the International Free Press Agency, whose activities were aimed solely at international journalistic investigation of economic, political, military and medical information, revealed information so amazing it cost him his life. Nine years later, his claims are confirmed, one after another. It is verified that he was warned by repentant politicians and secret service agents disgusted that he was receiving classified documents, highly confidential, often anonymously or transmitted by colleagues at the four corners of the earth.")

His fans claim that the [[Mel Gibson]] character in the 1997 film ''Conspiracy Theory'' is modelled on him.<ref name=esoexp/>

Copies of his works still circulate on the [[internet]], and have influenced such Americans as [[Texe Marrs]]. Some have been reissued by French publisher and conspiracy theorist Jacques Delacroix.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050711015552/http://www.editions-delacroix.com/librairie/#MONAST The catalogue!]</ref>
