Some interesting points are made by the presenter (first hyperlink above) Peter Staudenmaier and the discussion/question and answer session following the lecture is somewhat enlightening. However, one of the persistent problems with Anarchist or radical analysis of fascism or the National Security State is the inability to transcend materialism and understand the occult (and therefore semiotic) current in fascism.
My intuition tells me the presenter may have been engaging in "cognitive infiltration" of Anarchist or radical groups at the behest of Chip Berlet and the Zionist ADL. There are many additional layers to the ADL - FBI COINTELPRO "cognitive infiltration" onion - some more obvious than others.
Resistance to "conspiracy theory" seems to be a primarily Anglo-American phenomena. Less resistance is found in cultures directly affected by US imperialism. Resistance to "conspiracy theory" also has quite a bit to do with something called "American Exceptionalism" - this myth is touched upon briefly in the discussion.
What gatekeepers fear the most: mainstream exposure of Zionist collaboration with the Third Reich and the questioning of Biblical myths used as the historical and ideological basis for the founding of the Jewish State. These two concepts are strictly verboten in most mainstream and alternative media discourse.
