Education Forum Moderated by Anti-Semitic Crackpot---John Simkin is Aware

[Benjamin Cole]

I asked AI about William Niederhut, the "moderator" of the Education Forum, JFK Assassination debate pages.

I am surprised at the telling response, given how little information I gave AI:



I have informed John Simkin of this matter, but I doubt he will take corrective action.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Niederhut has too often dragged the EF into the anti-Semitic sewer---I can't hold my nose anymore.

I can give you my opinion; Niederhut has been spewing anti-Semitic poison and tropes in the Ed Forum for years---and then John Simkin promoted him to "moderator."

Doubly curious, as Niederhut was widely disliked for his unpleasant and ill-considered, crackpot commentary.

Niederhut tirelessly sings the praises of Ron Unz.

AI on Ron Unz:

Yes The Unz Review is widely regarded by watchdog groups, researchers, and media analysts as a platform that publishes antisemitic, white nationalist, and far-right content. Founded and edited by Ron Unz, the website presents itself as an "alternative media" outlet for controversial perspectives, but it is frequently criticized for hosting content that promotes conspiracy theories about Jews, Holocaust denial, and anti-Israel narratives.

Key details regarding the nature of The Unz Review include:

Antisemitic Content and Themes: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has characterized the site as an "outlet for certain writers to attack Israel and Jews" and noted that it frequently posts content that promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories, including 9/11 conspiracy theories, and Holocaust denial.

Ron Unz's Shift: While initially described as simply hosting, rather than originating, hateful content, the ADL reported in 2018 that Ron Unz himself has "embraced hardcore anti-Semitism" writing articles that blame Jews for various social and economic ills, and providing a platform for, or endorsing, anti-Semitic texts like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Contributors and Writers: The site hosts blogs and articles from individuals associated with white supremacy, the alt-right, and neo-Nazi ideologies, such as Steve Sailer, Anatoly Karlin, and Andrew Anglin.
White Nationalist Labeling: The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has labeled The Unz Review as a white nationalist publication.

I don't care if you are D-party or R, a Trumper, libertarian, socialist, communist. Fine. LN or CT. So what.

But having the feculent William Niederhut "moderate" the Ed Forum is too much.

John Simkin needs to have his head examined. Maybe he is deep into his senescence, I don't know.

It will happen to us all.

The Ed Forum, with declining readership, will exit the stage being remembered as...a hub for anti-Semitic crackpots?

So it goes.

Ben: I totally agree with you.

Can you post the ADL link?

thanks

If you put the far right and far left together in a room you'd have to stop them from killing each other. They loathe one another. But when you ask them what happened, why are you fighting?, they would say in agreement, "The Jews made us do it."
