Joe, We have a friend over here who seems to be accessing the theories you cite above. She's not religiously in any of the denominations you have mentioned, but has sent us stuff from a Catholic - can't remember his status, has served in the Vatican, convinced that Trump (or he wants to convince people that Trump) is chosen by God to head the fight of good against evil. She is also convinced that 98% of Democrats are communists (she sent links to someone's Youtube) and has dropped friends in that party because of it. She says Antifa is run by the Chinese. We try to counter it but she won't accept evidence from the MSM, or Snopes. She doesn't diss the Guardian as much as I expect from her political association though.
I may lose her as a friend when I acknowledge my natural leaning to anarcho-syndicalism. Which would be a shame, as out of that stuff she's supportive and helpful.
