Blairwatch – Nick Kollerstrom’s Crap Circles: We’ve occasionally been targeted by 9/11 and 7/7 conspiraloons over our coverage of terrorism and strategies to deal with it. At one level it’s just a small group of deathly boring obsessives, at another it’s something disturbing. One fact that keeps cropping up is the links between these self-professed truthers and Holocaust deniers and Nazi apologists. For many of these people there are few news sources they trust, but Stormfront is one where they unquestioningly accept the racist crap spewed over those boards. We’ve just found another conspiraloon, Nick Kollerstrom aka astro3, who’s been pestering 7/7 survivors as they offer an inconvenient witness against his ludicrous theories. Although he specialises in that ultimate conspiracy theory, crop circles, he’s not afraid to take a deep bath in Nazi apologism and Holocaust denial…

More here, from Rachel North.

UPDATE – Even more from Unity.

UPDATE – Rachel North – The Conspiraloon Holocaust Denial Exposure: The ’9/11 Truth’ forum, for example, recently had pages and pages of discussion threads about holocaust with contributors busily denying it happened. Only when the blog-storm about Kollerstrom broke did they take any action. They hid the threads and belatedly banned discussion of the subject, as it was felt to reflect badly on their ‘Truth movement’. Some might call that cynical… Sadly, many of the ”Truthers”, instead of waking up to the people who associate with them and their campaigns, and questioning their agenda are instead attacking the bloggers who outed Kollerstrom, throwing about personal abuse, calling them ‘Nazis’ and ‘dictators, whinging about ‘free speech’ and generally being in denial about it all. Others have gone very quiet.
