Even though the organizers of the 9/11 “Truthers” conference in Phoenix claimed he was not involved, Holocaust denier Eric D. Williams was at their press conference yesterday: Holocaust denier Eric D. Williams attends 9/11 Accountability Conference; Prof. James Fetzer defends anti-Semite.

Despite statements on 911accountability.org that Eric D. Williams had “stepped down from involvement in the 9/11 Accountability Conference,” Williams was present today (Friday) at a “press conference” for the opening of the symposium at the Crown Plaza San Marcos in Chandler, and I have been informed that Williams will actually have a vendor booth at the conference on Saturday and Sunday. This is astonishing considering the controversy that’s swirled ’round Williams and the conference since it was revealed that Williams had authored the Holocaust-denying tome The Puzzle of Auschwitz, which asserts that there were no killer gas-chambers at Auschwitz, and that there was no Final Solution planned and implemented by the Nazis against European Jews.

Because of Williams’ involvement, several speakers dropped out of the conference, including Dylan Avery, the boy-wonder behind Loose Change, the one genuine star of the 9/11 conspiracy movement. The fact that the conference, headed by convicted felon Kent “Cow Killer” Knudson, has allowed Williams to participate despite disavowing him in the past and claiming (wrongly) that he had never been the Conference Director, should completely discredit this conference and Knudson, and serve as proof of the conference’s willingness to accept Holocaust-deniers and anti-Semites into their midst. Further demonstrating the movement’s tolerance of anti-Semites was panelist Jim Fetzer’s defense of Eric Hufschmid, whose site erichufschmid.net is filled with anti-Semitic tripe.

Screw Loose Change has much more on this absurd conference; just scroll down and start reading.

Here’s their video of panelist Fetzer defending Holocaust denial and comparing it to the Truther movement. Unbelievable.
