Big mouth strikes again!

Global Research
Globalresearch.ca (also under the domain name globalresearch.org) may best be described as a left-wing equivalent to WND. It is the website of the Montreal-based non-profit The Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG), founded by Michel Chossudovsky. While seeming sincere with it’s own self description, “as an “independent research and media organization.” It is anything but.
Despite presenting itself as a source of scholarly analysis, globalresearch.ca mostly consists of polemics many of which accept (and use) conspiracy theories,
pseudoscience and
propaganda.
The prevalent conspiracist strand relates to global power-elites (primarily governments and corporations) and their New World Order. Specific featured conspiracy theories include those addressing
9/11,
vaccines,
genetic modification,
Zionism,
HAARP,
global warming, and David Kelly. Analyses of these issues tend follow the lines of the site's political biases.
B’nai Brith Canada discovered that there were comments on a forum moderated by Chossudovsky in which he questioned how many Jews actually died in the Holocaust, if any at all! Chossudovsky claimed that those comments and the forum are completely separate from the views Global Research, even though he controls both sites. Chussodovsky himself believes that US had knowledge of the 9/11 attacks before they happened, Washington has Weapons that could control the weather (AKA HARRP), and that the Large US Banks purposely destroyed the US Economy in 2008.
In Mike Karadjis' 2000 book
Bosnia, Kosova, and the West, Chossudovsky is referred to as a "pro-
Milošević leftist", as well as accused of "systematically distorting events in
Albania and the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s".
A 2005 article in
The Jewish Tribune has criticized GlobalResearch.ca as "rife with
anti-Jewish conspiracy theory and
Holocaust denial."
B'nai Brith Canada had complained that there were comments on a forum moderated by Chossudovsky that questioned how many Jews died in the
Holocaust. Chossudovsky responded that there was a disclaimer that the website was not to be held responsible for the views expressed in the forum, and he had the comment removed. He also said that he was of Jewish heritage and would be one of the last people to condone antisemitic views.
[6] The same article also reported that B'nai Brith Canada wrote a letter to the
University of Ottawa asking for the university "to conduct its own investigation of this propagandist site."

In a 2006
op-ed by Terry O'Neill in the conservative Canadian news magazine,
Western Standard, Chossudovsky was included on the list of "Canada's nuttiest professors, those whose absurdity stands head and shoulders above their colleagues."
[7] Listed alongside Chossudovsky were Sunera Thobani,
Shannon Bell,
John McMurtry,
Shadia Drury,
Taiaiake Alfred,
Leo Panitch, Kathleen Mahoney,
Thomas Homer-Dixon, Sophie Quigley, and
Joel Bakan. Specifically, the op-ed referred to GlobalResearch.ca as "anti-U.S. and
anti-globalization"
[7] and criticized Chussodovsky's thesis and views — namely: that the U.S. had knowledge of the
September 11 attacks before they happened; that Washington had weapons that could influence
climate change; and lastly, that the large banking institutions are the cause of the collapse of smaller economies — as "wild-eyed conspiracy theories".
