Michael Anthony Hoffman II (born January 2, 1957) is an American author. He has been described as a conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier and anti-semite.

Biography

Hoffman was born in Geneva, New York. His father was the chief of physical therapy at Clifton Springs Hospital in the village of Clifton Springs, New York. His mother was Italian-American. According to biographical information on the back cover of his book Judaism Discovered, Hoffman studied at the State University of New York at Oswego in the Finger Lakes region.

Hoffman supposedly was taught about William Morgan, whose disappearance in 1826 resulted in the formation of the Anti-Masonic Party by his maternal grandfather, who told him that elections in the United States were rigged by organized crime. From this, Hoffman was said to have deduced that "othing is as it seems to be," which in turn led to a "life long vocation, researching the subterranean workings of the occult cryptocracy's orchestration of American history".

In 1995, Hoffman moved with his family to northern Idaho. There, he hoped to establish a museum that would detail the "Communist holocaust against Christians" (i.e., the persecution of Christians in the Soviet Union), "the holocaust against the Germans", (i.e., the bombing of Dresden and other major German cities in World War II), and the "Holocaust against Japan" (i.e., the bombing of Tokyo and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki).

Hoffman has written articles for the UK-based magazine Fortean Times, as well as the Lutheran newspaper Christian News of New Haven, MO. He claimed to have worked as a reporter for the Albany, New York, bureau of the Associated Press. His interests include the alleged occult roots of Freemasonry, the ideology of shadow government, Fortean phenomena, and Orthodox Judaism.

Views

Holocaust denial and the Jews

Hoffman has been described as a "Holocaust denier and anti-Semitic ideologue" by Michael Barkun of Syracuse University and Michael Whine. Swedish historian of Uppsala University Mattias Gardell has asserted: "Antisemitism is prominent... in the worldview of Michael Hoffman II".

Hoffman has worked on projects for now-deceased KKK Grand Dragon Tom Metzger as well as "fellow travelers" Willis Carto, David Irving, Ernst Zündel, and Herman Otten. Hoffman was the Assistant Director of the Institute for Historical Review (IHR), a premier historical revisionist organization with a particular focus on Holocaust denial. Stephen A. Atkins, in his book, Holocaust Denial as an International Movement (2009), wrote that Hoffman's newsletter Revisionist History promotes Holocaust denial and Hoffman contends that "the real Holocaust of World War II was deaths caused by the Allies." He quotes Hoffman denying the existence of the usage of gas chambers by Nazi Germany:

"here is no material scientific proof for the existence of Nazi homicidal gas chambers. There are no autopsies available from any source showing that even one Jew died as a result of Zyklon B (hydrocyanic acid) poisoning, among the millions who are alleged to have been killed in this manner."

The Great Holocaust Trial: The Landmark Battle for the Right to Doubt the West's Most Sacred Relic (1985) is a sympathetic account of the 1980s Canadian trials of Ernst Zündel. At the time, Zündel was required to appear before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal for "spreading false news", by distributing the Holocaust-denying pamphlet Did Six Million Really Die? in Canada. Hoffman's book argues that Holocaust denial material should be completely legal to publish, which is valid under the First Amendment in the United States, but not necessarily in other countries.

On his YouTube channel in 2016, Hoffman said: "Judaism’s focus is on self-worship, people who worship themselves, and this is where I see a corollary with Nazis and with what Hitler was doing." He has claimed that Judaism has a positive view of pedophilia and advocates the hatred of non-Jews. In 2019, he was a co-chair of the Saviour' Day 2019 with Louis Farrakhan, propagating claims that early Jewish texts are equivalent to teachings "from the church of Satan".

Irish slavery myth

Hoffman is the author of They Were White and They Were Slaves: The Untold Story of Enslavement of Whites in Early America. The book was self-published in 1993.

According to Derrick Jensen, Hoffman is "overtly racist" and "attempts to make the case that the enslavement of whites by commercial interests in Britain and the Americas was worse than the enslavement and genocide of Africans... perpetrated by those same interests." Jensen said "Hoffman's analysis is seriously flawed" but that "his scholarship is impressive, and the story he tells is both interesting and horrifying".

The book's espousal of the Irish slaves myth is considered by Liam Hogan (interviewed by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2016) as persuasive to white supremacists.

Cryptocracy

Hoffman is the author of Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare which outlines his conspiracy theory of a shadow government or "cryptocracy" that gains power through manipulation of symbols and twilight language. Examples of such "psychodramas," in Hoffman's view, include Route 66 (which connects various centers of occult significance), and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, in which Hoffman sees ritualistic elements. The theory of masonic symbolism in the assassination of President Kennedy was first articulated by James Shelby Downard, with whom Hoffman co-authored King/Kill-33 which became the inspiration for a song by Marilyn Manson.

Hoffman also states that this ruling cabal is slowly revealing itself through movies such as They Live, The Matrix, and other symbolic and subliminal communication. Hoffman has appeared on the Alex Jones radio show to discuss his theories. In a 2002 lecture in Sandpoint, Idaho, Hoffman analyzed the 9/11 terror attack in terms of human alchemy and psychological warfare.

In Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare, he focuses on the events of 9//11 as the culmination of a series of occult dates including the cornerstone placing of the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal; the World Trade Center groundbreaking; the Pentagon groundbreaking; the attacks in New York and Arlington/Washington, perceiving that all were connected to Sirius, the Dog Star: “It would be difficult to exaggerate the fanatical degree of attachment the priesthood of Egypt and all subsequent related Hermetic traditions had for Sirius.”
