BTW, Niedernut and fellow traveler Don Jeffries have been singing the praises of a Frenchman named Laurent Guyénot.
You never heard of him either? Count yourself lucky.
The AI version:
You said: Is Laurent Guyénot considered an anti-Semitic crackpot?
Laurent Guyénot is widely classified by mainstream historians, political analysts, and watchdog groups as an antisemitic conspiracy theorist.
While the term "crackpot" is a subjective colloquialism, public consensus and academic analysis firmly position his work outside of legitimate scholarship, characterizing it as fringe, conspiratorial revisionism.
Association with Antisemitic Ideology Guyénot's work heavily incorporates classic antisemitic tropes disguised as geopolitical and religious critiques:The "Jewish Power" Narrative: In books like “Our God is Your God Too, But He Has Chosen Us”: Essays on Jewish Power and From Yahweh to Zion, he argues that Jewish religious history is a framework for tribal manipulation and global domination.
The "Israel Did It" Trope: In his deep-state writings, he routinely attributes catastrophic world events to Zionist networks. For instance, he claims that the State of Israel and the Mossad were the primary instigators behind both the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the September 11 terror attacks.
Ties to Extremist Publishers: In France, his political and conspiracy-oriented works are published by Kontre Kulture, the publishing house founded by Alain Soral, a notorious and repeatedly convicted French far-right antisemitic ideologue.Why He is Considered a Fringe FigureIn mainstream academic and historical circles, Guyénot is rejected as a reliable source for several key reasons:Pseudohistory ("Recentism"):
Beyond geopolitics, he advocates for "recentism", a fringe pseudohistorical theory claiming that mainstream chronology is faked and that hundreds of years of the first millennium AD never actually occurred.
Conspiratorial Monomania: His research style follows a pattern common to conspiracy theorists: rather than evaluating evidence neutrally, he treats complex, unrelated global tragedies (JFK, 9/11, biblical history) as part of a single, coordinated, centuries-old plot orchestrated by a specific group.
Isolation from Peer Review: While he holds a legitimate PhD in medieval studies and his early work on Arthurian legends was academic, his geopolitical and revisionist books are completely self-contained within fringe, alternative-media echo chambers and completely lack peer-reviewed validation.

More P.U. from Niedernut. Why Simkin had Niedernut "moderate" the EF-JFKA for more than a year....
