Sacha Stone (born 1966) is a British New Age influencer and conspiracy theory promoter. Stone is best known for founding The International Tribunal for Natural Justice, The New Earth Project and the New Earth Festival which he hosts at his private luxury resort, Akasha New Earth Haven, in Ubud, Bali.[1]
Early Life
Stone, was born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) as Simon Jean Paul Sasha Adams. In the 1990s, he was the lead vocalist in the eponymously titled band Stone,[1] which released one album, Cover The Sun, but did not achieve commercial success.[2]
Activism
Stone launched the NewEarth Project, promoting "conscious living", in 2013. This led to the NewEarth Festival, launched in 2017, attended by 2,000. In 2018, he initiated the International Tribunal for Natural Justice, to promote awarenes of "natural justice".[1]
Antisemitic claims
Stone posits that humanity is ruled by elite "Hidden Masters", which he refers to as "the Illuminati", "the Babylonian blood-cult", the "Luciferians", and the "Sabbateans":
"Our holonomic reality can realistically be defined as a culture underpinned by generational satanism, ritual sacrifice, blood-economics and arch deception perpetrated by approximately 1 out of 10 people against an unwitting 9 out of 10. That is if any reasonable statistical analysis of contemporary satanism holds true."[3]
Stone blamed the world’s current woes on “Sabbatian Zionist Lurian Kabbalists behind the veil,” a formulation referring to followers of the 16th century Kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria and the 17th century mystic Shabtai Tzvi.[4][5]
Anti-vaccine claims
At the 2019 NewEarth Festival, curated by Stone in Bali, invited speakers included anti-vaccine activist Del Bigtree and US conspiracy theory author G. Edward Griffin.[1]
Stone has stated that the COVID-19 vaccine is a conspiracy to implant a “nanochip” in the human body so that “the Beast” can “take control of their soul.” Stone has stated that use of vaccines is misguided: "Anyone who rolls their sleeve up for a vaccine – or an RFID nanochip – is absolutely inviting the Beast to take control of their soul".[6][4]
On January 5 2021, Stone hosted an event titled "Focus on Fauci" with anti-vaccine activists Judy Mikovits, a discredited biochemist, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an American lawyer known for promoting misinformation about vaccines and radio-communication systems.[7]
International Tribunal for Natural Justice
Stone founded The International Tribunal For Natural Justice, an organisation which stages court-like hearings dedicated to applying the principle of "natural law" to matters of current affairs. ITNJ has featured a discredited individuals who have subsequently used it as a forum for making false or misleading statements:
ITNJ hearings are chaired by Sir John Walsh of Brannagh, a lawyer disbarred from his practice in Victoria, Australia[8][9] who is a former chancellor of Grenwich University, an unaccredited university formerly of Norfolk Island, Victoria. Robert O. Young, an American natropath, who was jailed for illegally practising medicine, has used ITNJ as a platform to claim that "Mandating vaccines is part of depopulation plan". In a widely circulated INTJ video clip, Young makes unsubstantiated claims that viruses are not real, vaccines are poison, and that alkaline can be used to cure any ailment.[10]
The ITNJ organised a hearing on child trafficking, with "chief counsel" Robert David Steele, a former CIA-agent. His opening speech supported Pizzagate conspiracy theory and suggested that Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign team were Satanic paedophiles. [3] On May 10 2020, ITNJ hosted a hearing which included testimony from discredited former doctor Andrew Wakefield and Sherri Tenpenny an American anti-vaccination activist.[11]
5G Apocalypse: The Extinction Event
Stone has promoted the hoax that 5G is associated with health risks. He produced 5G Apocalypse: The Extinction Event,[1] an hour-long documentary film promoting the idea that 5G telephone networks are a military weapon disguised as a telephone system. The documentary introduced Mark Steele, whose claims comprise the bulk of its content.[12] The hour-long documentary had over a million views before being removed from YouTube.[13] At the documentary's launch, Stone sold access to the film for $10, which included a 10% discount on the Bauer 5GBioShield, a USB-stick which Stone marketed as being able to protect users from the harmful effects of 5G radiation.[14]

Meanwhile, the faux-spiritual guru Sacha Stone uses the 'New Earth Project', which has 280,000 Facebook followers, to push the idea that 'pollutants' such as electromagnetic radiation are the source of all illnesses. Stone also tells his followers that the COVID vaccine will insert a 'nanochip' into recipients that will allow 'the Beast to take control of their soul'. ... The likes of Shemirani, Stone and Icke tap into the 'cultic milieu', a term coined in the 1970s by British sociologist Colin Campbell, and used to refer to a diverse subculture encompassing forms of 'New Age' spiritualism and occultism, paranormal beliefs and pseudosciences, including fringe alternative medicine/healing communities. This milieu is fluid and overlaps significantly with conspiracy theorist communities, with which it shares an outsider identity, an ethos of 'seekership' and a scepticism towards established authority. The danger is that those attracted to Icke, Shemirani and Stone for their spiritual teachings or health advice will soon be exposed to the darker side of their ideologies... Piers Corbyn, Icke, Shemirani, Steele, Stone and other leading figures all promoted (and promote) variants of the NWO theory... Sacha Stone blames the 'Sabbatian Zionist Lurian Kabbalists behind the veil', using code words for Jews.
