Armin Risi

In October 2014, the newspaper Münchner Merkur reported on a conference of "conspiracy theorists" and "fringe scientists," at which Risi was one of the speakers, under the headline „Ein unheimliches Treiben im Zwielicht zwischen Unfug und Welterlösung“. Münchner Merkur described Risi as a "master at playing with ignorance."

In the brochure Rechtsradikalismus in der Esoterik published by Sektenwatch, Rainer Fromm [de] accuses Risi of spreading anti-Semitically charged ideas under an esoteric guise, referring in particular to Risi's work Machtwechsel auf der Erde. Fromm mentions having received a letter from Risi personally in response to his criticism, in which Risi states: „In der überarbeiteten Neuauflage von 2006 habe ich das diesbezügliche Kapitel vollständig gestrichen, um mich nicht nur kritisch, sondern gänzlich von diesem Thema zu distanzieren“ ("In the revised new edition of 2006, I have completely deleted the chapter on this subject, in order to distance myself not only critically, but entirely from this topic").

In 2005, he made a study trip to Egypt. On this trip he gained access to what he calls the "Osiris Crypt" of Giza and the "Monolith Crypt" of Sakkara. Risi published the book Die Giza Mauer (The Giza Wall) in 2005, together with Rico Paganini. The book was the subject of criticism, whereupon Risi made a statement after he initially defended his book against criticism. Later, he partially distanced himself from the findings of his co-author Rico Paganini.

Armin Risi has lived as a freelance writer and speaker since 1998. In 2005 he founded the „Institut für die Wissenschaft der Involution“ ("Institute for the Science of Involution").

In 1988 Risi published his first independent publication, the brochure „Vegetarisch leben – Die Notwendigkeit fleischloser Ernährung“ ("Living Vegetarian - The Necessity of Meatless Diets"). In 1992 he published his first own book. From 1995 Risi published numerous articles in fringe scientific and esoteric journals and gave lectures.
