>Wikispooks was founded a decade ago in the United Kingdom by a former businessman named Peter Presland, who has denied facts about the Holocaust and is a prominent promoter of the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that the Israeli government was behind the September 11, 2001, attacks, according to radio interviews featuring Presland.
>In May 2010, Presland wrote in a note archived online that his website would be a "collaborative project aimed at building a comprehensive reference source of deep political structures and events, together with the people and organisations connected to them."
>Presland doesn't produce the website's content alone, as other users are able to submit and edit pages, like on Wikipedia. But according to the editing history of the site, the only changes to its main page in the past five years were made by Presland and a user named Robin Upton, whose profile page on Wikispooks describes him as an "economic dissident" and says he was born in the UK in 1970. When reached for comment, Upton told Insider that he tries to remove "verifiable falsehoods" from the site.
