There have been an awful lot of people who aren't right wing nutjobs taking up the right wing nutjob antisemitic and masonic conspiracy theories lately, and it's really weird because it's not like the Internet doesn't give you the means to look into where they come from.

I think it's a backlash against the notion that there are legit Islamic terrorists. Since the 'wingers blame the Islamists for everything wrong with the world, obviously the correct response is it's all a Zionist conspiracy.

Furthermore, if that's a belief of anyone's, then the internet can just as easily serve as a positive feedback loop rather than a tool to uncover and/or debunk conspiracy theories.
