It's fluff because it doesn't actually examine any of its theses closely. The author's choice of words dismisses, prima facie, any possibility of sympathy for the people he describes and the legitimacy of their plight. Their fear is "exploited", not justified. They are "obsessed" with a "plot", not concerned about a pattern of events. They are "racist" regardless of the nature of their difference with the invaders.
