This is part one in the series: Aceloewgold.com. There are many other articles in the series there, mixed in with our other content. The book is assembled from the series, which I began when PG was still on 4Chan and continued as it developed, moved to Voat, etc etc. The book itself is on Amazon, which Voat doesn't appear to allow links to.
You don't gotta tell me how it works posting here, friend, hahhaa...I've had this account since late 2016 ;)
You mention meme artists...that did occur to me but IMO, Pizzgate memes are often quite cheesy (no pun intended), visually noisy and usually involve public domain pictures of children who I'd rather not contribute to making the unintended poster children of this conspiracy. I know I could work with an artist to come up with a design that didn't suffer from those problems, but based on the dozens of PG memes I've seen, I'm not convinced the end result would be less cheap looking than what I came up with on my own. Maybe that's just narcissism on my part, but I haven't been blown away by the artistry of PG memes, and I've been looking at PG memes since this thing broke in 2016.
I also don't want to use faces of public figures on the cover, as this could be lead to legal problems for me. I also think making the cover look like a meme, while definitely eye catching, would look a bit cheap and unprofessional as a book on a bookshelf. Online meme generators also compress images, which disqualifies them for a physical book cover because book cover images need to be very high resolution. Book covers require very particular formatting, positioning of elements, image settings, resolution, etc., making it so you can't really do much with programs that aren't designed specifically to create covers for a 6x9 inch paperback.
I really do appreciate the addition of concrete suggestions, though! Thank you.

I appreciate your comments. However, your current cover looks like a cheesy meme already and it conveys the WRONG idea. You do HARM along with whatever good is supposedly in your book (I haven't read it). Either switch to an equally cheesy ACCURATE image (there is plenty of copyright free clip art) OR ACT LIKE A PROFESSIONAL AND SHELL OUT FOR A DECENT ARTIST/GRAPHIC DESIGNER.

You're entitled to your opinion, and so am I. That's how this works. My respectfully disagreeing with you doesn't imply that I'm not acting like a professional, and there's nothing "inaccurate" about cover elements that are SYMBOLS to begin with. In literature and art, a symbol is something that represents something else without being literal. They've been used for book covers for works in all genres, for all of publishing history, since the invention of the printing press. Your interpretation of those symbols and what they mean AND the effect they will have on other people is totally, 100% subjective. Sorry, that's a fact.
I appreciate your input and have taken it into account, but being on a self-righteous high horse doesn't automatically make you correct.
