Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr. is an InfoWars-style character played by Sacha Baron Cohen in his new Showtime series Who is America?
The fictional Ruddick runs a handy little website (which actually exists) detailing popular conspiracy theories promoted by truthers over the past several decades—everything from the CIA fostering rock and roll music as social control to the moon landing hoax to the Satanic elite running Hollyweird.
In fact, the catalog of conspiracies is quite complete and has apparently been quietly building for some months now. Billy Wayne (apparently he has a PhD) also runs a clever Twitter account at @BillyWRuddick and has a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Truthbrary/
The website, Truthbrary, appears to be maintained regularly, with new conspiracies still being added:
