Conspiracy website WND is using Robin Williams' recent suicide to try to sell DVDs about celebrities using “demonic” powers to gain stardom.

On August 14, WND reprinted an excerpt of an opinion piece by Joe Schimmel that argues Williams used the help of “demonic powers” that “aided him on stage,” but these “insidious forces” eventually “drove him to suicide” :

Everybody is currently talking about Robin Williams and his tragic suicide. Many are puzzled as to how a man, who made so many people laugh, could be so depressed that he would violently end his life. What people are not learning is the deeper truth about the insidious forces that tormented Robin Williams and drove him to suicide. Robin Williams acknowledged that he had opened himself up to transformative demonic powers that aided him on stage. Without the aid of such demonic powers, it is likely that you would have never have heard of Robin Williams and many other famous celebrities. Williams also recognized that these powers had manifested a very evil influence on stage and that there could be a hefty price to pay for their assistance.

At the end of the excerpt -- the full piece is published at “Good Fight Ministries” -- WND links to its website store with the text, “Is Satan using music to corrupt our youth? See Joe Schimmel's shocking three-hour video: 'They Sold Their Souls for Rock 'n' Roll.'”

For the “Discount Price” of $15.95, readers can purchase the “3 Hour Version” -- which has been “condensed from the best of the full 10-hour version” -- of Schimmel's movie, which argues “how Satan has been effectively using popular music to undermine God's plan for the family and ultimately heralding the coming of the Antichrist and his kingdom on earth.”

The Schimmel excerpt is currently featured prominently on WND's opinion section with the headline, “Robin Williams: The Sad Truth Media Won't Tell You” :

WND's Superstore regularly attempts to profit off of crass paranoia, selling products claiming President Obama's birth certificate is fake, Harry Potter is “witchcraft,” and John “Lennon may well have sold his soul to the devil and that the assassination was merely Satan collecting his due.”
