Jan Udo Holey (born 22 March 1967 in Dinkelsbühl), and often known by his pen name Jan van Helsing, is a controversial German author who embraces conspiracy theories involving subjects such as world domination plots by freemasons, Hitler's continuing survival in Antarctica following World War II, the structure of the earth as hollow, and others. His theories draw from sources such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

His books Geheimgesellschaften (Secret Societies) and Geheimgesellschaften 2 have been banned in Germany, France and Switzerland for inciting anti-semitic hatred.

The majority of his books, such as Die Kinder des neuen Jahrtausends. Mediale Kinder verändern die Welt (Children of the New Millennium, and how They Change the World) are non-political and deal exclusively with esoteric subjects.

Life

Holey was the middle child of a wealthy family. His mother called herself a clairvoyant, and his father wrote three books dealing with gnostic and esoteric subject matter. Holey claims to have attended schools in Crailsheim, Bammental (near Heidelberg), Cambridge (in the United Kingdom), and Munich.

Holey chose his nom de plume "van Helsing", after he read Bram Stoker's vampire-novel Dracula at the age of fourteen.

Today, Holey runs his own publishing house, which publishes his own works as well as of others holding similar interests and viewpoints.

The Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz Baden-Württemberg (the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Baden-Württemberg) first referred to Holey in a 1996 report entitled "Rechtsextremistische Einflußnahme auf die Esoterikszene" (Right-Wing Extremist Influences on the Esoteric Scene).

Political opinions

Holey draws from many esoteric and conspiracy theories, many of which originate in the United States of America. His writings encompass such varied themes as Nostradamus, reincarnation, conspiracy theories regarding John F. Kennedy and Uwe Barschel's murders. According to his detractors, Holey's books are largely plagiarized from other sources, many of which are conspiracy theorists of questionable repute. The author believes he is banned as part of a larger conspiracy.

In Geheimgesellschaften, Holey combines science-fiction, esotericism, Nazi-mythology, ufology and "Zionist global domination" theories. He also employs The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as a source. He believes the Rothschilds head a Jewish conspiracy to rule the world and associates them with a mysterious cabal called the Illuminati, who plan a New World Order. Holey and his followers claim that they are not anti-semitic, but rather that they speak out against powerful Jewish interests in high finance and politics.

Publishing activities

At the age of 14, Holey read Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, which inspired him to use the pseudonym "van Helsing" for his publications.[3] He justified this by saying that the Illuminati Order, against which several of his books are directed, also consisted of "bloodsuckers".[5]

At the end of the 1980s, Holey wrote his first book, Secret Societies and Their Power in the 20th Century, which was published in March 1994 by Ewert-Verlag and sold mainly in esoteric bookstores.[6] After just a few months, it became a bestseller. The publication of Secret Societies 2 followed in 1995. The pseudonym was exposed in July 1996 by critical reports in the magazine esotera and Der Spiegel.[7] By 1996, when the Jewish community in Mannheim filed a complaint for incitement, which stopped the sales in the shops, more than 100,000 copies of both books had probably been sold.[8] The proceedings were discontinued by the Mannheim Regional Court "due to a lack of local jurisdiction".[9] A complaint was filed in Switzerland, whereupon the two books were confiscated and indexed in both the Federal Republic of Germany and Switzerland.

Holey was first mentioned in reports by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Baden-Württemberg in 1996, where he was reported on under the heading "Right-wing extremist influence on the esoteric scene". This was followed by mentions in the Austrian Office for the Protection of the Constitution's report in 2000[10] and by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in 2004 and 2005, where Holey was described as a "right-wing extremist esotericist".[11] Holey is also making inroads into the social sciences as a "right-wing extremist esotericist".[12]

Since the end of the 1990s he has been publishing his works in the Amadeus publishing house, founded by his mother in 1998. He has been the managing director there since December 31, 2009. Blick nach Rechts wrote that he and his publishing house are considered the "best-known representative of brown esotericism".[13] This publishing house also runs the website dieunbestechlichen.com; the imprint names Holey as editor-in-chief. The site promises "uncensored news - politically incorrect and free!"[14]

From 2007 to 2010[15] he ran the web TV channel Secret.tv, on which he spread his esoteric and conspiracy theory theses.[16] A film about the Great Pyramid of Giza made by Holey and Stefan Erdmann was also broadcast on it. The Evangelical Central Office for Ideological Questions calls the Internet broadcaster a "film portal for brown esotericism".[17] The "Handbook of Alternative Media" describes the broadcaster as "right-wing extremist Internet TV".[18]

In his books, Helsing draws on the conspiracy theories of the authors Gary Allen and Des Griffin and their works The Insiders (1970) and Who Rules the World (1976). In particular, he relies on the American ufologist Milton William Cooper, whom he also knew personally and from whose work Behold a Pale Horse he quotes extensively.[19] Holey claims a worldwide conspiracy of the Illuminati, among whom he counts Freemasons and Jews.[20] He is of the opinion that Hitler was inspired by Bulwer-Lytton's book The Coming Race (1871) and Ossendowski's title Animals, Men and Gods, for which there is no evidence whatsoever. However, Holey is using these claims to feed neo-Nazi clichés, as many passages by the authors Bulwer-Lytton and Ossendowski, in addition to theosophical sources, have contributed to the creation of neo-Nazi legends.[21]

In October 2011, a long interview about his new book Hitler survived in Argentina appeared on the Kopp-Verlag's Kopp-Online internet portal. On December 23, 2011, Holey's foreword appeared there in its original length.[22]

Legal disputes

In 1996, both books Geheimgesellschaften were taken off the market at the request of the Jewish community in Mannheim following a confiscation order by the Mannheim District Court for incitement.[23]

Despite the criminal proceedings against Holey for incitement being dropped in 1998 for formal reasons,[23] both books were banned because the content was "highly anti-Semitic".[24]

In Switzerland, Holey's books were banned for violating the 1995 anti-racism law.[25]

As a result, the author tried to present the ban on his books as constitutionally questionable in the introduction and in the first part of his text.[26] On page 14 of the first part, he wrote his legal interpretation:

"[The book...] is directed exclusively against the background powers, world conspirators, Freemasons, Rotarians, [...] but these groups are not part of the German population within the meaning of Section 130 of the Criminal Code and are therefore not the object of this provision [...]"

In 2001, the Mannheim Regional Court overturned the confiscation order.[27] The indexing in both countries was never carried out.

Reception and evaluation of the publications

According to Hubert Michael Mader of the Austrian National Defense Academy, Holey's bestsellers were probably the most significant coup of right-wing extremism after 1945. He processed various topics that had long been common in the esoteric scene and were received unspectacularly. These - and this is what is new - he sharpened them with an unusually large number of right-wing extremist ideas and mixed them with interpretations based on his conspiracy theories, according to which the world, especially Germany, was threatened with annihilation by secret societies. Jews were leading this conspiracy. To do this, he essentially mixed the right-wing extremist writings of the Holocaust deniers and ufologists Miguel Serrano, Wilhelm Landig and the British anthroposophist Trevor Ravenscroft with some original sources. Holey advocated authoritarian ideas of the state and society, whitewashed National Socialism and denied Germany's war guilt.[28] Holey assumes from the outset that his critics are afraid of (mental) change. Although he claims that he does not want to manipulate anyone, his publications repeatedly give the impression that he intends to mentally "reprogram" his readers.[29]

Rüdiger Sünner counts Holey among the disciples of the "Black Sun", who adapt Nazi myths about the superiority of former "Aryan" cultures, such as Thule and Atlantis, and incorporate them into their fantastic treatises in which the Third Reich is glorified or its crimes are denied. Serrano and Holey in particular have contributed to a modernization of right-wing esotericism by including UFO legends.[30]

The historian Goodrick-Clarke notes that Holey's advocacy of humanity and the esoteric New Age ethos merely conceals his anti-Semitic motives.[31] The Handbook of Antisemitism devotes an article to Holey. In it, he is assigned to the "so-called new Germanic-pagan scene" because he combines new right mythology and esotericism.[1] Stefan von Hoyningen-Huene counts him among the "esoteric conspiracy theorists".[32]

Tobias Jaecker also assigns Holey to the esoteric spectrum, in which belief in a global conspiracy occupies a central position.[20] Armin Pfahl-Traughber sees in Holey's works the combination of esoteric and right-wing extremist ideological elements.[33] Wolfgang Wippermann sees Holey's claims as exemplary of esoteric conspiracy ideologies which, as can be seen from his writings, are "to the letter" of the National Socialist ones.[34] According to Ursula Caberta, he is the best-known German conspiracy theorist.[35] Through his bestsellers, esotericism has become the most important gateway for right-wing extremist ideologies in German-speaking countries.

The trend of the esoteric scene towards right-wing extremist viewpoints became apparent shortly after Holey's books with the publication of fifty to sixty esoteric right-wing extremist world conspiracy books.[28][36] The chairman of the Armanen Order, which sees itself as the "Aryan elite", Adolf Schleipfer, promotes and recommends Holey's first volume of secret societies as a basic work on the subject of lodge entanglements that replaces entire libraries.[28] Der Spiegel wrote in its issue 51/1996 about the secret societies volumes 1 and 2: "Holey's conspiracy theories read like a mixture of Mein Kampf, wild science fiction and black magic."[28] In May 1996, the news magazine Focus reported on the ban on his books in Switzerland.[37]

Secret societies and their power in the 20th century (two volumes)

In Secret Societies, Holey combines science fiction, esotericism, Germanic mythology, Christian numerology and ufology and speaks of a "worldwide conspiracy of the 'Illuminati' - identified as being of Jewish origin - to the detriment of the world and Germany in particular". In 1773, Mayer Amschel Rothschild is said to have come up with a plan with twelve other Jewish financiers in Frankfurt's Judengasse to pave the way for their world government by starting a total of three world wars by the year 2000. Holey explicitly refers to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,[38] an anti-Semitic fiction published at the beginning of the 20th century that is supposed to prove the Jewish world conspiracy. Through his dramatic style of portrayal, with which he suggests an extraterrestrial battle for the fate of our civilization, Holey was able to spread his Manichaean anti-Semitism, according to Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, in the New Age scene.[25] To underline the credibility of the Protocols, Holey relied extensively on conspiracy theorist Milton William Cooper.[39] In response to objections that the protocols were demonstrably based on forgeries, he commented:

“I also find the question of authenticity incomprehensible. That would be like saying that the Ten Commandments are not authentic. It is completely irrelevant whether the Ten Commandments are from God, an alien or from Mr. Müller. […] The origin is completely irrelevant. It is the same with the ‘Protocols’. The things that are described in them are applied.”[40]

In addition to the Protocols, Holey relies on numerous anti-Semitic and historical revisionist authors such as David Irving, David L. Hoggan, Germar Rudolf and other Holocaust deniers.[41] Another intellectual affinity exists with the spiritual father of the right-wing extremist European Workers’ Party (EAP), Lyndon LaRouche, with whom Holey expresses solidarity. Holey considers LaRouche to be an adversary of the secret world conspirators who fell victim to "a judicial scandal staged by the American establishment" and was wrongly branded a right-wing extremist by propaganda from the Anti-Defamation League.[42]

Citing conspiracy theorist William Guy Carr, Holey claims, among other things, that the Protocols originated centuries ago and that they are a plan to gain world domination. According to Holey, what he calls a "Jewish banking system", in particular the Rothschild family, is working with the Illuminati as the "true rulers" on a global conspiracy.[43] They deliberately triggered the Second World War in order to make the United States dependent on high finance through its enormous costs. Their ultimate goal is a New World Order. Other classic anti-Semitic ideologemes that he spreads are the ritual murder legend - allegedly the foundling Kaspar Hauser was murdered by Jews for religious reasons -, the legend of the Jewish declaration of war on Germany in September 1939, speculation about the alleged global power of the Jewish lodge B'nai B'rith and the claim that Jews are actually devil worshippers.[44] In doing so, he distinguishes between Semitic Jews and Khazars and Ashkenazi Jews, whom he counts among his true enemies. He then printed a few pages of the malicious translation of the Talmud by Johannes Pohl, which was published by the NSDAP in 1943 for anti-Semitic propaganda.[45] In addition, Holey claims that Helmut Kohl is Jewish and was originally called Henoch Kohn and that HIV was artificially created on behalf of the allegedly Jewish Illuminati.[44]

In Holey's ideology, the secret global conspiracy network of the 'Illuminati' includes various organizations and associations, including the UN. Intriguing secret puppet masters behind the UN have themselves "caused all the wars of the last two centuries." The UN troops are an "international police force" to bring independent states such as Libya and Iran, which are vilified as aggressors by the (aligned) international mass media, under control. Holey paints a distorted, revisionist picture of history that ignores essential facts and in many areas agrees with former Nazi propaganda, for example on the issue of alleged Jewish declarations of war on Germany, historically distorted representations of Poland's role and the question of war guilt.[46] To support his historical revisionist themes, he uses well-known neo-Nazi material such as the Morgenthau legend and claims that German and Japanese peace offers were systematically ignored because the Illuminati elite wanted to raze both countries to the ground under the guise of democracy and liberalism in order to maximize the subsequent investment opportunities and facilitate integration into a planned global dictatorship.[47]

His conspiracy theories sound like a mixture of Mein Kampf, wild science fiction and black magic. He describes a Tibetan order that practices black magic and that played a key role in the creation and formation of the Third Reich. There is an underground organization called the "Black Sun" that, according to neo-fascists, operates underground bases and colonies all over the world that are inhabited by millions of Germans. One of these bases is located at an altitude of over 5,000 meters in the Himalayas. China therefore invaded Tibet, tortured and killed Tibetan monks on behalf of the Masonic Illuminati in order to locate and liquidate the Germans and thereby prevent the creation of a new German Empire of Light. However, the Chinese plan failed because the German colonies were located in hidden valleys and were under the protection of the highest Tibetan lodge, the "Gelugpa" or "Yellow Caps", who also protected the "Ariannis" (descendants of aliens and current inhabitants of underground kingdoms).[48][49]

In a clever montage of facts, unverifiable witness statements, partial truths and absurd interpretations, Holey claims that Adolf Hitler used two SS expeditions to try to find the entrances to the underground kingdom of Agartha in the Himalayas, inhabited by Aryans, in order to be able to make contact with the descendants of the Aryan gods in their capital Shamballa. The king of Shamballah is called Rigden Iyepo, the king of the world, who is represented above ground by the Dalai Lama.[50] Other colonies of the last battalion built up by Hitler are in New Swabia (Antarctica), the Andes, Greenland, the Canary Islands, African mountain ranges, Iraq, Japan and in the Earth's interior. Holey writes of futile attempts by the Allies to attack the German colony in Antarctica. Even the detonation of two atomic bombs over New Swabia in 1958 failed to defeat the German colony. From this he concludes that the German Reich still exists and has never surrendered, but only the German Wehrmacht represented by Dönitz.[51] Holey learned from a courier for the "Black Sun" that in 1994 there was a standing army of 6 million soldiers worldwide, consisting of infiltrated Aldebarans, Ariannis and Reich Germans. This army had 22,000 Reich flying discs. This is why the USA and Russia launched the SDI program.[49] The middle section of the first volume contains blurred photos of flying discs with swastikas and SS symbols. Holey claims that these are authentic. He received them personally from the British secret service, which found them in hidden SS archives in 1945. Esoteric subdivisions of the Thule Society and the SS (called "Black Sun") had already owned UFOs with anti-gravity engines in the 1940s, with which they flew as far as the Aldebaran star system. Hitler approved the design and construction of these UFO wonder weapons, in which Karl Haushofer, Rudolf von Sebottendorf and Viktor Schauberger were involved.[52] Holey explicitly refers to Rudolf von Sebottendorf and his Thule mythology when he claims the existence of a "higher race" from which the Germanic tribes emerged.[1]

Hände weg von diesem Buch!

After the Mannheim District Court confiscated his two conspiracy books for anti-Semitic incitement, Holey portrayed himself as a conspiracy victim in his 2004 work Hands off this book! and marketed his supposed martyrdom in the advertising text as "the last secrets of our 'enlightened' world".[53] According to Amazon, 165,000 copies of this book, which is the most successful of his books to date and also deals with various fringe scientific topics, were sold in Germany in 2010.[54] Holey claims that the book is essentially about finding one's own personality. According to Ulrike Heß-Meining, he once again shows his right-wing extremist anti-Semitic views in this book, albeit in a more subtle form.[54]

Other books

Holey's third book, The Third World War, was published in 1996 and contains prophecies from various fortune tellers. In the book Operation Aldebaran. Contacts with people from another solar system. (1997), Holey deals with Aryan-looking extraterrestrials[5] who are said to have come to Earth in UFOs to carry out genetic manipulation on humanity.[55] In 1998, The Inner World: The Secret of the Black Sun was published. The book is about an alleged invention of the National Socialists, the Reich flying discs, which are now said to be stationed in the hollow interior of the Earth. In 1999, Holey reported in The Jan van Helsing File on the criminal trial against him and portrayed himself and his ideas as victims of conspiracies. In 2000, in The Children of the New Millennium, he tells of children with psychic abilities who have contact with the dead and can read auras. Who's Afraid of the Black Man?, published in 2005, deals with near-death experiences, the author also claims to have conducted media interviews with death. In 2008, Holey published The Millennium Lie: On the Trail of the Pyramid Riddle with Stefan Erdmann; the book claims that the pyramids were hydroelectric power stations. Holey had previously processed the same thesis in his DVD film: "The Cheops Lie". In April 2009, Holey published The 1 Million Euro Book, which is based on bestsellers such as The Secret - The Secret of Rhonda Byrne and presents wealth as a result of inner attitude. In 2010, Secret Societies 3 - War of the Freemasons was published, an alleged interview with a "high-ranking Freemason" who confirms Holey's own claims. In 2011, Holey co-authored a book that spreads the conspiracy theory that Adolf Hitler escaped from Berlin to Argentina in 1945.[56] In 2020, the title We're Killing Half of Humanity - and It's Going to Be Quick! was published. on the market, claiming that the "elite" is planning to "get rid of 'inferior' peoples through diseases and epidemics" in order to "transfer the surviving rest into the green-socialist New World Order"; Corona is just the beginning - Holey claims to have been informed about an alleged "Corona plan" since August 2019. With his father Johannes Holey, Holey wrote the title Handbook for Gods, published in 2021. In it, both offer esoteric insights through the "clairvoyant Johannes" and discuss the question of why the Illuminati, whom he considers to be the masterminds of world events, censor everything that could pose a threat to their supposed machinations.[57]

Film

Holey's channel Secret TV produced the film The Cheops Lie. Secret TV also sponsored the 2008 animated film Fabian the Goldsmith, which represents a similar conspiracy theory to Holey's in secret societies: "Fabian the Goldsmith" founded the secret society of the "enlightened" and has been directing world events ever since.[58] The film, which according to the Federal Ministry of the Interior "subtly conveys anti-Semitic clichés about 'power junkies of the financial dynasties' who gain 'power over the masses'",[59] was produced with the support of the Kopp publishing house.[22] Other claims from Holey's work, such as the "enlightened" planning to tattoo a barcode on people, can also be found in the film.
