Neil Oliver interviews conspiracy theorist who claimed ‘Jewish mob’ run the world

Critics have condemned the site as a home for far-right and conspiratorial content that would be banned on more mainstream platforms.

Introducing Webb, Oliver said: "Whitney has been methodically, forensically piecing together the ways politics and economics and organised crime came together in a hellish menage-a-trois that helps explain the mess we're in."

The story she tells, he said, is “more fascinating than any Hollywood thriller you can name”.

Oliver later asks Webb if there was “a particular moment when our governments and establishments became crime syndicates”.

She replies: “It goes back to the 1920s and 1930s … when a mix of crime syndicates came together. Then during World War Two they formed an alliance with US intelligence…

"After the war that alliance deepened with the CIA. That crime syndicate was essentially a meeting of the Italian mafia and the Jewish mob.”

Webb later adds: "They can implant things in our devices that's incriminating even if it's not ours and accuse us of things...

"There's been efforts to blackmail us for a long time. And one faction of that is an outgrowth of the Jewish mob but it's much broader than that.

"Again, I would encourage people to look at this union of organised crime and intelligence and realise that that's essentially what's running the world.”

Cultural historian Matthew Sweet, who is a regular GB News critic, said on X: “This video violated YouTube community guidelines. It claims a global oligarchy descended from the ‘Jewish mob’ rules the world using false charges of antisemitism to protect it from criticism.

“So yes, if you want antisemitic videos from Oliver you will have to go to Rumble.”

Oliver, the former president of the National Trust for Scotland, rose to prominence as the host of the BBC documentary series Coast.

In 2021, he joined GB News as a presenter shortly before its launch.

"Debate in this country has been stifled for so long that GB News feels like opening a window and letting some fresh air, fresh perspectives and fresh voices,” he said at the time.

"I never imagined my career would take this turn but I'm hugely excited that it has."

A year later, he sparked a furious response from Jewish leaders after he interviewed an alleged former Holocaust denier to discuss birthrates.

Peter Imanuelsen, who goes by Peter Sweden online, had reportedly tweeted in 2016: “The claim that six million jews were gassed seem highly unprobable[sic]. The concentration camps didnt have the facilities for that.”

Imanuelsen previously told the JC he had never denied the Holocaust and that posts in which he appeared to were fake. GB News removed the interview from their website and insisted they abhorred antisemitism.

In 2023, MPs and the Board of Deputies called on GB News to tackle "conspiratorial antisemitism or other misinformation" they say is broadcast on the channel after Oliver claimed on air that British politicians are waging a "silent war" to take “total control of the people” and impose a “one-world government”.

According to The Guardian, the monologue appeared to reference a conspiracy theory document called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, which references the Rothschilds.

A spokesperson for the Board said at the time: “It is highly concerning that GB News continues to air a show which embraces all manner of conspiracy theories.

"Somewhat inevitably, some of those invited on to this show represent organisations that promote antisemitic conspiracy theories. If the channel will not act, we expect that Ofcom will.”

A GB News spokesperson told the Guardian: “GB News abhors racism and hate in all its forms and would never allow it on the channel.”

GB News, Oliver and Webb have been contacted for comment.
