Expo magazine reveals: The spider in the virtual revisionist web
Many of the Internet revisionists hide behind aliases and conduct their business anonymously. One of the most important, and mysterious, is "k0nsl". The Swedish anti-racist magazine Expo can now reveal that the man behind the pseudonym is Swedish and called Jonathan Andersson.
Writing under several different pseudonyms, the 22-year-old Jonathan Andersson has become a central figure in the online revisionist web. As the webmaster of CODOH Forum, he has a key role in the premier virtual meeting place for Holocaust deniers – a meeting place where he is also an active participant.
In addition, Jonathan Andersson runs his own homepage, the "Holocaust History Archive"; a revisionist "copy" of the genuine site "Holocaust History". It is a fact that several famous deniers link to articles on Jonathan Andersson's website.
Andersson has for quite some time eluded historians and writers specializing in the field of Holocaust denial. Using aliases such as "k0nsl", "system33r" and "Julius Streicher", he has been able to successfully start and run revisionist hate sites while remaining undercover.
He has also extolled the virtues of Holocaust denial in Internet forums related to completely different topics.
"The anonymity offered by the Internet makes it possible for people who trade in racial, religious and ethnic supremacy to safely market their ideas and beliefs," says Ray Franklin, one of America's foremost experts on Internet hate crime.
Apart from, for example, currently serving on the national Counter-Terrorism Training Coordination Working Group of the U.S. Department of Justice, Franklin runs a well-known website called The Hate Directory. It lists global hate sites, including Jonathan Andersson's "Holocaust History Archive."
"It is of utmost importance that we investigate the attempts made by these groups to disseminate their propaganda," says Franklin.
Journalist Albrecht Kolthoff works on the anti-racism research project Redok in Germany. He has followed "k0nsl" and his activities for years without knowing who's behind the pseudonym.
"This whole Internet scene is filled with disinformation, but we believe that "k0nsl" has been active for the past 4-5 years," says Kolthoff.
"Of course, "k0nsl" cannot be compared to someone like Ernst Zündel, but he uses his Internet-related talents to promote something he believes will further the national socialist goals," Kolthoff points out.
One of the reasons why Jonathan Andersson up until now has been able to keep his identity a secret, is his unusually good computer skills.
"He is a very talented and able person when it comes to computer programming, and has created hacker programs and 'Trojans' infecting computers all over the world," Kolthoff explains.
Andersson himself claims to have been a member of the famous hacker group "Sm0ked Crew", who during the early 2000s hacked companies such as Intel, Compaq, the New York Times and Hewlett-Packard. It is not clear whether or not he is a suspect in these crime cases.
Jonathan Andersson's forum posts are characterized by a poorly concealed anti-Semitism:
The German civilian population who was the victim of repeated fire-bombs are "holocaust" victims a hundred times more than the Jews who were just sent to concentration camps (safe-keeping), where they learned how to work, how to be somewhat decent.
There was no "jewish holocaust", no "gas chambers" and no "systematic extermination". (…)
To hell with the "holocaust" lies and those who try to uphold them.
Albrecht Kolthoff believes that it is important to expose persons such as Jonathan Andersson: "The public has a right to find out about what kind of actors claim to 'just be searching for the truth.'
"They use very nasty and dishonest methods to spread their ideas. If any one of them has done something illegal, we should be able to hand over these lunatics to the law enforcement."
Expo has tried and failed to get a comment from Jonathan Andersson himself.

Mr Andersson also posted about 911 under the nym "Julius Streicher", as early as few hours after the attack.
He wrote at Flashback, a swedish "underground" forum:

World Trade Centret har kolapsat, Det är det ända man kan se på TV nu mera. Judens fäste har rasat.
Vem kommer att få skulden, Kommer USA ge sig in i kriget mot Araberna? Hur kommer det sluta? Vem får skulden, Araberna?
World Trade Center är/var ett känt fäste för många etablerade Judar.
World Trade Center has collapsed. Its the only thing you can se on TV nowadays. The castle of the Jew has fallen.
Who will be blamed? Will the US enter the war against the Arabs? How will it end? Who will be blamed, the Arabs?
The World Trade Center was a well known home for many established Jews

Cheers,

Slob, a fitting name for sure, seems to be a whacky conspiracist and believer in theories which are not connected with that of concrete proof - as can be fully witnessed by reading his following dull mumble: "Funny thing is, the huge 911 thread that had me interested in the 911-world, was started by a nym "Julius Streicher" (!) at sept 11, 2001 17:20 (GMT - 2 I guess), who I just discovered was the same guy, Haldan."
How this person is capable of making this connection is just as boring hearing the repeated and untrue claims of German barbarity. There is nothing exciting with it and the connection which the person makes has no basis in reality, as can clearly be seen by any thinking person and one with at least that of average intelligence.
I do not expect great things of my detractors - neither did Hermann Göring, who in the end, won.
I only ask one thing and that is accuracy and honesty, the lies and misinformation always hauled in my direction is growing tiresome and is nothing but mere distraction, although this type of tactic does not in the least bit bother myself - in fact, I find all of this somewhat amusing, but at the same time I also find it a little bit disturbing and at times I can only shake my head and hope that one day people will realize what type of people we are dealing with here - persons who should not ever be allowed to interpret anything said by the Germans during the war and during Nuremberg procedings, because they can not understand half of it.
Friends, I ask of you only a bit of fairness, is it too much? I should also like to note that I can not devote much time making responses such as these on webpages which simply do not matter and which are considered unimportant - the same goes for many forums. It is simply not worth my time and therefore it shall be spent at more rewarding efforts in the future.
Thank you.
Can you believe the Expo article?
>Andersson has for quite some time eluded historians and writers specializing in the field of Holocaust denial.
Since when historians and writers are supposed to be in the spy business?
> ...national Counter-Terrorism Training Coordination Working Group of the U.S. Department of Justice...
Now we even got the US Government to do our dirty work. Maybe we should declare Holocaust denial a terrorist movement.
And why stop there? How about some milder forms of revisionism (functionalism) or even "soft core denial" (That would include Jimmy since we don't like his views anyways).
> Albrecht Kolthoff believes that it is important to expose persons such as Jonathan Andersson...
"The Lives of Others" - in the internet era and the 21st Century.
Who would have known though in '84 that in 5 short years everything would be over?
It is wholly untrue that I closed down my web pages.
They have never been closed down and they are all very much online. It is telling that you people can not even write the truth about such a incredibly small detail in the context of things. It speaks volumes of your credibility.
I basically "exterminated" the author of this blog post, Andrew E. Mathis, in debate at the forum of which the same was administrator.
That is why the little man is angry at this writer.
