The Stop the War Coalition (StWC) has for the first time spoken out against British conspiracy groups illegally using its name and logo. Two conspiracy groups have been carrying StWC logos on their promotional material and claims the coalition is involved with co-organising conspiracy events.
The Stop the War Coalition (StWC) has for the first time spoken out against British conspiracy groups illegally using its name and logo. Two conspiracy groups have been carrying StWC logos on their promotional material and claims the coalition is involved with co-organising conspiracy events.
These British conspiracy groups, ‘We Are Change’ and ‘Truth Action’, are the latest incarnation of the now defunct ’911 Truth Campaign’, that while active, organised events that promoted Holocaust denial, antisemitism and other right wing conspiracies. The campaign also allowed the harassment of journalists including George Monbiot, Nick Cohen, Robert Fisk and Jon Ronson, and encouraged the intimidation of terrorist attack survivors such as Rachel North and her family.
In a recent website post, the groups claimed: “WeAreChange London in collaboration with London Truth Action and Stop the War Hounslow will be holding a demonstration outside the BBC Television Centre.”
However StWC denies any involvement with either of these groups.
The StWC stated: “We have contacted Hounslow Stop the War and they have not been asked to support this event.”
It is not the first time these conspiracy goups have used branding without permission. Last year they attempted to host an event with Holocaust denier Nick Kollerstrom but promoted it as a ‘J7 Campaign’ event, when it was in fact organised by the ’911 Truth Campaign’.
The StWC continued: ”For the record, we consider groups such as these to be, at best, a distraction from our central focus of ending the war on terror, and at worst they can drift into anti-semitism.”
StWC meetings and events are still attended by conspiracy theorists, albeit not to the same extent as seen in previous years, which involve conspiracy theorists, such as Justin Walker, proclaiming the world is controlled by Zionist shapeshifting reptiles - widely regarded as conspiracy code for Jewish.
The StWC have always ignored the theorist, even when one theorists, Steven Williams, repeatedly begged the coalition to join forces with conspiracy groups, in front of hundreds of StWC meeting attendees. The use of StWC’s name and logo on conspiracy promotional material signals a new degree of desperation for these groups.
The StWC have written to these conspiracy groups demanding that they remove any reference to Stop the War Coalition.
