They are lunatics, and not of a nice sort. E.g. a truly vile article by Gilad Atzmon, attacking HopeNotHate (a British anti-racist organization which I support) and the Holocaust Education Trust. Another article calling David Cameron and William Hague Israeli agents. And an alternative theory proposed about the Newtown massacre is that the American government perpetrated it themselves in order to be able to reduce civilians' access to firearms.

They do quote someone's theory that is too nutty even for them: that President Obama regularly visits Mars for gay trysts, and was once nearly eaten by a carnivorous Martian plesiosaur.
