Henry Makow is a Canadian author and blogger known for his virulent and relentless antisemitic conspiracy theorising. A slavish fan of Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin, he publishes repeatedly about a Judeo-Masonic Satanist plot to control the world. Often homophobic and intensely masculinist, he is opposed to Donald Trump and his “bromance” with the man […]
Jean-Marie Le Pen's lifelong obsession with Holocaust denial was strictly off the agenda at his carefully staged funeral and burial. A few days after the January 7, 2025 death of France's extreme right patriarch at the age of 96, Le Pen's clan assembled in La Trinité-sur-Mer. It was the village where the Front National founder […]
From his early work as a journalist to being founder and editor-in-chief of Russia and Iran-supported "independent media" platform The Grayzone, Blumenthal has developed a dubious reputation for disseminating the disinformation of dictators while pushing antisemitic narratives. Beloved by fellow America-hating anti-Western "anti-imperialists" like the late John Pilger, George Galloway and Oliver Stone, his propagation […]
The horrific premeditated violence against Israeli and Jewish football fans in Amsterdam on the night of November 7 into the morning of November 8—described by the attackers themselves in their planning messages as a “Jew Hunt” —has been amplified and justified by a disturbing blend of antisemitic conspiracy theories, including that the attacks were staged […]
A relentless Kremlin campaign of disinformation and destabilisation aimed at bringing Marine Le Pen’s pro-Putin extreme right party to power in France has failed - for the moment. The upset result in the snap legislative elections placing the Rassemblement National (RN) in third place among parliamentary parties is a significant blow to Russian interests. Even […]
As France prepares to vote in the snap legislative elections’ runoff, with Marine Le Pen’s extreme right, Putin-admiring movement pushing at the gates of power, conspiracy theories are running amok. A clutch of notorious propagators of narratives spanning pro-Kremlin conspiracies, anti-vax theories, climate change denial, QAnon, and Holocaust negation have already been elected outright in […]
The French Embassy in South Africa has used humour and sarcasm to unmask a propaganda video fake being spread by official Moscow accounts purporting to feature a so-called “French soldier/mercenary” being “captured” in Ukraine by Russian forces. The video had been spread by conspiracist accounts claiming Western/Nato forces are already on the ground in Ukraine […]
It only took a few minutes. Following the assassination attempt on Slovakia's pro-Russian Prime Minister Robert Fico on May 15, the Kremlin swiftly grabbed the opportunity to launch a massive online disinformation and destabilization campaign. The target? Ukraine, Slovakia’s neighboring country. Unfounded accusations blaming Kiev for the attack proliferated across a galaxy of pro-Moscow Telegram […]
George Galloway has staged another comeback to the British parliament, garnering the usual labels of “left-wing firebrand” and “maverick” with a fondness for “inflammatory language”. Yet the fedora-wearing Scotsman, who has just been sworn in as the new Member for Rochdale, is much more sinister than a mere “controversial figure” or “renegade”. Galloway is a […]
Tucker Carlson’s much-hyped interview with Vladimir Putin was touted by the former Fox news anchor as a serious journalistic endeavour. But it principally offered the Russian President a cosy global platform on Elon Musk's X to promote some of his most-favored conspiracy theories, notably about Ukraine and its western allies. The Russian leader surpassed even […]
