John Hamer describes himself as a “full-time geopolitical researcher”, but is actually a well-known conspiracy theorist who has denied the Holocaust. 

His books include the antisemitic screeds The Falsification of History, Behind the Curtain, The Falsification of Science and JFK – A Very British Coup, which claims the British Crown was involved in the assassination of the US President. 

Hamer writes a monthly column for the conspiracy-theory newspaper The Light, including one piece in which he praised Colonel Gaddafi, comparing his rule favourably to our “very tightly Zionist-controlled, indirect form of democracy” and the “puppet-criminals who run the country only for the benefit of the bankster-elite”. 

On X, Hamer has posted about “the Holofraud” being “key to the Zionist agenda for world domination,” and lamented the demonisation of “the ideal of white nationalism”. Hamer also does regular talks around the country on a range of conspiratorial topics.
