Blog Posts Espouse Antisemitism And Holocaust Denial
A large number of the post titles on the blog espouse antisemitic beliefs, holocaust denial, and popular neo-Nazi talking points. A number of posts deployed the antisemitic "Happy Merchant" meme, using the caricature to portray Jews as controlling international finance, the media, and politics.
Another post featured a Happy Merchant sitting at a desk featuring the Star of David, with a devil kneeling before him saying "Please teach me all arts of lying, deception, cheating and incitement."
Other posts espoused holocaust denialism, with one post reiterating the debunked theory that the doors of the gas chambers at Auschwitz could not contain enough Zyklon-B gas to be lethal to humans. The post featured an image of a steel single person chamber with a vault-style door. The preview of the post read: "This is what a GAS chamber door looks like. This is what the gas chamber doors at AUSCHWITZ look like. If they actually gassed people in..."
A number of posts used the term "Holohoax," a term often used by neo-Nazis to claim that the holocaust did not happen.
