It’s one thing to rely on crackpot sources, which, as you will see (if you haven’t already from the passage above), the AFP clearly is. But it’s another thing to rely on a crackpot source that’s run by Willis Carto, the racist Holocaust denier whom the Anti-Defamation League calls “one of the most influential American anti-Semitic propagandists of the past 50 years.” The AFP is published from the same office as Carto’s The Barnes Review, which ran a serious story titled “Adolf Hitler – An Overlooked Candidate for the Nobel Prize.”
Carto: "If Satan himself, with all of his super-human genius and diabolical ingenuity at his command, had tried to create a permanent disintegration and force for the destruction of the nations, he could have done no better than to invent the Jews."
Thanks to reader Ralph Hernandez for alerting me to this connection, which reminds me of a disturbing fact. There are several prominent anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers in the 9/11 conspiracy crowd. I don’t mean the people who believe the very common conspracy theory that radical Zionists in Israel and/or the US government orchestrated the 9/11 attacks to get the US to wage war against the foes of Israel. And it’s important not to label people who disagree with Israeli policy or a Zionist political agenda as anti-Semitic. That said, I’m not aware of a single Holocaust denier or anti-Semite who’s prominent on the 9/11 myth debunking side. But there are several people on the CT side who hold such views. These include:
– Eric Hufschmid, author of the 9/11 conspiracy book “Painful Questions” and video “Painful Deceptions” is so proud of his Holocaust denial that he calls himself a “HoloHoax exposer.”
– The owners of the popular 9/11 conspiracy website Serendipity.li, who publish articles such as “In Defense of Anti-Semitism” and “Jewish media myths leading us to World War III.”
– The host of the webcast “Wing TV,” who goes by the pseudonym “Victor Thorn,” and who pub-lished a booklet titled “Christ Killers.”
– Carol Valentine, who runs the comspiracy website Public-Action.com, where the current headline is “The American Coup d’Etat and the War for Jewish Supremacy,” and who writes, “Zionist Christians are traitors to America. Along with Jews, they scream loudest for Arab blood, even though all rational analysis shouts that Israel and Israeli agents in America were responsible for 9-11.”
– “Scholar for Truth” Rick Rajter praises Iran’s president Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denial and has a website that links to the neo-Nazi site Stormfront. More about him on the Screw Loose Change blog:

– The writers and editors of The American Free Press, whose work is cited here several times. They formerly published The Spotlight, a harsher anti-Semitic paper, which was shut down when a lawsuit bankrupted Willis Carto’s Liberty Lobby organization.
– 9/11 conspiracy promoter “Killtown,” who presents the idea that fewer than 300,000 Jews may have died at the hands of the Nazis, and who believes that Israel was involved in the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and therefore may be lying about the Holocaust.
