Most Evil Twitter in History: Holocaust-Denying Catholic Bishop is a 9/11 Denier too!

Well lookee here. Look what I found from my “Google alert” for World War III. I don’t think anyone has reported on it yet, but vile holocaust-denying Bishop Richard Williamson who’s trying to undo his ex communication by doing “further research” on the Holocaust (he still won’t admit Jews were gassed in the death camps) turns out to be a 9/11 truther. In a twitter!

You’ve got to give him credit for compressing so much evil and malign ignorance into fewer than 140 characters.

In fact I defy anyone top his summit of repulsive idiocy.

Is it possible for two such radioactive stupidities to occupy a single brain (and a rather small one at that) without reaching criticial mass? I guess we’ll soon find out but here’s his twitter in the unedited form I received from Google:

“Catholic Church Conservation: Another 9/11 risks being fabricated …
By Gillibrand
Another 9/11 risks being fabricated to start World War III · from the blog of Bishop Williamson. at 12:46 AM. Labels: Bishop Williamson Posted by Gillibrand. 0 comments:. Post a Comment · Older Post Home. Subscribe to: Post Comments …
Catholic Church Conservation – http://cathcon.blogspot.com/”

I don’t know whether they twitter, but there are a lot of bats flying in that belfry. Is it possible we have located the stupidest most wretchedly repellant man on the planet? Shouldn’t there be some kind of reverse Nobel for the Bishop? Can the Pope seriously take this goon back into the church now? You’ll recall his rehabilitation from his reactionary anti-Vatican II cult was being held up by his Holocasut denial. He vowed he’d hit the books–do some more “research” on the subject, try to back down from unequivocally calling it all “lies” inthe ’80s.

But now he’s got some more explaining to do do. Please Bishop, twitter away or tell us more at length your theories about the first “9/11 fabrication”. I wonder what demonic force he blames for it? Pray tell, your reverence.

Even if he never says–or tweets–another word, though, he’s done us a service by telling us a lot about the mindset of Holocaust deniers and 9/11 deniers and what they have in common. I hope people will spread the word about this rebarbative aspect of Bishop Williamson’s brain It was just luck I came upon this moronic twitter; it deserves worldwide exposure, just as his Holocaust denial did. For his sake alone–and for the sake of the victims of the tragedies he cruelly denies–I hope there is a Hell.

You’re on the money, Ron. Holocaust denial, 9/11 denial and anti-Zionism (or simply the loathing of Israel) are interlinked in the mind of today’s sickos. I’m sure they believe other insane blather about the world as well, like “intelligent design” etc…

Pace Hannah Arendt, perhaps the explanation of the deniers and the attention they inspire is “the banality of the good.” Heroes on 9/ll, Nazi hunters, victims of the Holocaust, seekers after truth and justice are just too vaniila dull for a Manichean world. All they have to fall back on is the purity of their own beings, while those that turn them into sinister beings are merely looking at their own reflections in a dark mirror.

The Bishop’s views on 9-11 should not be a surprise considering his previously espoused beliefs on the Holocaust. That one person can accommodate both appears coherent to me: they are consistent with a belief in the existence of sinister groups which have the power to orchestrate history. This is a bit of magical thinking – a phenomenon to which we are all vulnerable to some degree. It’s just that some beliefs are more dangerous than others.
