Eric Hufschmid is a semi-legendary anti-semitic conspiracy theorist who, according to himself, has been “avoiding Zionist traps since 2002” – ‘semi-legendary’ mostly due to his appearance on a Penn & Teller: Bullshit! Episode on conspiracy theories. Precisely what his views are is sometimes a bit difficult to determine, but Jewish people and/or Zionists are certainly at the core of them: as Hufschmid sees it, Jewish people – who may be reptilians – “use their intelligence to kill, sabotage and blackmail their competition [that’s us humans]”.
Further details may be superfluous at this point, but Hufschmid also believes that 9/11, the JFK assassination, and the Holocaust were Zionist false flag operations (the gas chambers used by the Nazis never existed and stories of them are a “Zionist invention”; even Michael Jackson’s death was a conspiracy to “divert attention away from Zionism, Israel, and Jews in general”, and at one point, he even suspected that his wife-to-be was a Zionist agent and that it was best to break off the relationship. Moreover, the moon landing is a hoax (the Zionist connection is unclear) and Paul McCartney was killed in 1966 and replaced by an impersonator. And so on. Sometimes he also provides health advice; we couldn’t quite get ourselves to read his post “We do not need toilet paper!”, but feel free to look it up (no link provided).
Apparently, he has a book, too: Painful Questions: An Analysis of the September 11th Attack (2002). That one actually seems to have caused some consternation in 9/11 denialist circles, insofar as Hufschmid harshly denounced a number of fellow truthers (Dave von Kleist, Dylan Avery, Jason Bermas, and Korey Rowe) for denying “that there is any Zionist involvement in 9/11. They are Zionist Deniers. In addition, they are Holocaust Promoters.” And “if Europe can arrest people for investigating the Holocaust, we in America should arrest Zionist Deniers.” And Hufschmid’s book does seem to have had some impact: it was for instance Hufschmid who convinced venture capitalist Jimmy Walter to launch his vast advertising campaign to contest the ‘official version’ of the 9/11 attacks.
Diagnosis: The internet gave him followers and the attention of venture capitalists. We don’t think that’s what he really needed.
