'''Henry Makow''', PhD<ref group=note>PhD, English Literature. University of Toronto, 1982. He lists this on ''every'' single article and ''every'' single time his name is mentioned. Perhaps he is afraid of being a [[professor of nothing]].</ref> {{lived|1949|}} is a [[Canadian]] and what you get when you cross a [[MRA|men's rights activist]] with paranoid [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theorist]]. Makow believes the world is controlled by nefarious [[International Jewish Conspiracy|Judeo]]<ref group=note>[[Irony|Despite being Jewish himself!]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20190501205339/https://www.henrymakow.com/2017/06/why-do-I-reman-jewish.html Seriously!]</ref>-[[Freemason|Masonic]]/[[Satanic panic|Satanic]]/[[Fifth column|Commie]] forces, spearheaded by the [[Rockefeller conspiracy theories|Rockefeller Foundation]]. He also believes that the aforementioned concocted [[feminism]], so that women wouldn't have children, as part of [[Depopulation conspiracy theory|depopulation efforts]]. His writings can be found on notorious websites [[Whale.to]], [[Jesus Is Savior|Jesus-is-savior.com]], and [[Alex Jones]]' [[PrisonPlanet]].

He also designs board games.

==In the real world==

===How everything started...===

Henry Makow was born in 1949 in Canada to Polish Jewish parents who "survived the Second World War by passing as Catholics." His parents could be categorized as self-hating Jews as "they wanted nothing to do with the identity that resulted in their parent's deaths and almost cost them their lives." The only thing they were doing as Jews were lighting candles during Sabbath.

Here's how Makow [[Wake up|woke up]], in his own words:

{{quotebox|1=Until the age of 50, I was a typical brainwashed, dysfunctional, liberal, socialist, zionist, feminist Jew. My return to health began when I started to question these memes and obey my own instincts and perceptions instead. I discovered the Illuminati conspiracy which has become my work.}}

===Fame===
[[File:Ask Henry Makow.jpg|thumb|right|165px|''Ask Henry'': Makow before his descent]]
Makow's real-world fame is in having invented {{wpl|Scruples (game)|Scruples}}, a board game based on ethical dilemmas.<ref>{{cite news |author= |coauthors= |title=Scruples Creator is Immersed in the Life and Works of Mysterious Author |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=oRUyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=-6UFAAAAIBAJ&dq=henry%20makow%20scruples&pg=1226,2237026 |quote= |work=The Montreal Gazette |date=October 25, 1985 |accessdate=2010-11-17 }}</ref> At the age of 11, in 1960, he began to write the syndicated advice-to-parents column "Ask Henry".<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Rb1UAAAAIBAJ&pg=6684,6025440 The Leader-Post - Apr 29, 1961.]</ref><ref>{{cite news| title         = For a Change, Ethical Pursuit| url           = https://web.archive.org/web/20101029170053/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1048388,00.html| date= April 12, 2005| publisher = 	Time Magazine}}
</ref> At the age of 12, he appeared as a guest on an episode of the TV gameshow ''What's My Line?'' aired 14 October 1962.

In 2008, the Canadian Jewish Congress filed a human rights complaint against Makow for a column he authored in what the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] called the "anti-Semitic, conspiracy-mongering ''Toronto Street News''," in which he quoted Mark Glenn as describing Judaism as a "cancer."<ref>[http://www.rense.com/general74/conssp.htm Judaism: Conspiracy Against Jews, Humanity?], rense.com</ref><ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/resources/reports/homeless-paper-canada-peddles-hate/ Homeless Paper in Canada Peddles Hate]. ''[[Southern Poverty Law Center]]''. November 30, 2008.</ref>

Articles of Makow are often published on [[Smoloko News]], a website so anti-semitic [[Jean-François Gariépy]] looks sane in comparison. [[Irony|Yet]], Makow claims to "[[Not even wrong|express the authentic Mosaic Jewish spirit, a commitment to universal truth and morality]]" in contrast to the SATANIC Cabalist Jews.

==Everything = Illuminati==
{{cquote|Rothschild-dominated Freemasonry was probably also a factor. Communism is a Masonic order; both Castro and Guevara were Masons. Other Freemasons include Stalin, Trotsky, Lenin and most Presidents incl. Barrack Obama. Obviously Castro was installed by the Masons.<ref name="deathwish">[http://henrymakow.com/the_death_wish_of_western_civi.html Castro Profited from Communist Scam]. November 26, 2016.</ref>}}
Makow links ''everything'' back to some world-controlling organization (which he usually calls the [[Illuminati]]), which includes:

*[[International Jewish Conspiracy|The Jews!]]
*[[Freemason|The Freemasons!]]
*[[Satanic panic|The Satanists!]]
*[[Fifth column|The Communists!]]
*The [[Rockefeller conspiracy theories|Rockefeller Foundation]]!
*[[Knights Templar|The Templars!]]
*And many more!

Makow believes that the Illuminati was created by [[Kabbalah]] Jews acting in concert with the [[Knights Templar]].<ref>[http://henrymakow.com/000166.html Makow.com:Conspiracy Too Monstrous To Believe]</ref>

===Skull and Bones = Illuminati===
[[File:Bushsignal.jpg|thumb|right|165px|Hail Satan!]]
Makow believes that the world is controlled by the [[Satanism|satanic]] [[Skull and Bones]] society, which is apparently an [[Illuminati]] front group. He knows this because [[George W. Bush]] once made the Satanic horn sign. The following is a side-by-side examination of the introduction to Makow's article:<ref>[http://henrymakow.com/bushsignal.jpg Uh huh]</ref>

{{sbs|1=George W. Bush, President of the "Free World" is a member of "Skull and Bones" a chapter of the Illuminati order. His father, grandfather and uncle are also members.

In his autobiography, "A Charge to Keep" Bush writes, "My senior year I joined Skull and Bones, a secret society so secret I can't say anything more." In Aug. 2000 he said his "<u>heritage is part of who I am</u>."
|2=This is a clear [[quote mine]]. Here's the interview transcript:<ref>"[http://edition.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/time/2000/07/31/heritage.html My Heritage Is Part of Who I Am]". August 1, 2000.</ref>

{{quotebox|TIME: Your family legacy surely also pushed you into politics?

BUSH: Yes, my <u>heritage is part of who I am</u>, and that certainly included politics. But my dad didn't take me in the backyard and hit a tackling dummy to make me a great tackler, and he also didn't do things to try to make me a politician.}}

GWB was talking about his "family legacy", ''not'' the Skull and Bones. In fact, when GWB was asked about the Skull and Bones, he responded:

{{quotebox|TIME: But you sure shared a lot of the same upbringing: Andover, Yale, even Skull and Bones. Did you have any qualms, say, about joining an elite secret club like Bones?

BUSH: No qualms at all. I was honored. I was fairly nonchalant. '''I didn't view it as a great heritage thing.''' I didn't take it all that seriously.}}}}

{{sbs|1=Isn't this a conflict of interest?

''Hello!'' Can a man hold any public office, let alone the most important, and belong to a "secret society"? If this society were benign, would it have to be secret?
|2='''WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?''' [[Skull and Bones|
Hitler's old silverware
]] '''A WORLD-SPANNING PLOT TO WORSHIP SATAN?'''}}

{{sbs|1=What a secret society it is! The Illuminati is the hidden hand behind all modern cataclysms, including the French and Russian Revolutions, Communism, the Depression and Nazism. To affect the course of history only takes money. The people behind the Illuminati have plenty.

It's time we faced reality. Murphy's Law applies to humanity. "If it can go wrong, it will."

It has. The world is ruled by a satanic cult.
|2=Aside from the gross abuse of [[Murphy's Law]], there is only one response: The evidence that Makow presents -- the fact that many influential politicians were Skull and Bones members (which makes sense, given that it's a prestigious Yale University [[fraternity]]), and one book by Anthony Sutton -- is certainly not strong enough to overturn historical consensus.}}

===Feminism/Homosexuality/Mass-Media = Illuminati===
{{cquote|Formerly savethemales.ca|||Makow's website}}
{{cquote|But, why do these dupes include the US State Dept. and media establishment? The US government, media and most corporations are controlled by the central banking cartel, i.e. the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Rockefellers etc. These are the same people who sponsored Communism. [....] This is why the Communist Party term "political correctness" has become part of our lexicon.  Why the elite media and foundations promote feminism, homosexuality, pornography and promiscuity to destabilize society. Why they sponsor "diversity" to undermine American identity. Why the education system is devoted to Leftist indoctrination; and conservatives have been driven out. Why the culture industries are dedicated to sex, violence, alienation, deviance and the occult.<ref name="deathwish" />}}
In turn, [[Feminism]] was created as a way to get women on the Illuminati's side, and to encourage women to hate men, deign not to have children and take jobs outside of the home to reduce the population (the conspirators furthermore encourage homosexuality for the same reason).

Makow refers to this as "the psychological sterilization of the human female",<ref name="cartel">[http://henrymakow.com/260602.html Makow.com:Banking Cartel is the Cause of Humanities Woes]</ref> and naturally believes [A] that the proper place of women is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and [B] that all career women are covertly miserable on the inside.<ref>https://www.henrymakow.com/001170.html</ref>

Like some [[Men Going Their Own Way|MGTOWers]], and all too many mail order bride websites, he advocates that western men try [[yellow fever|marrying Asian women]] under the belief that they are more [[stereotype|traditionally submissive]]. In his ''A Long Way to go for a Date'' (2000), Makow tells the story of his courtship and marriage to a young [[Philippines|Filipina]].<ref>Macow, Henry. [http://www.amazon.com/Long-Way-Go-Date/dp/0968772501/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top A Long Way to Go For a Date]. ''Amazon''.</ref> A followup, ''Cruel Hoax: Feminism and the New World Order'' (2007), claims that feminism was invented by Jewish international bankers to promote [[one world government]], and also somehow connects feminism to [[9/11]] and calls on readers to "take back our heterosexuality". If none of this makes any sense, neither does Makow.

===9/11 = Illuminati===
Makow is also a [[9/11 Truth]]er. He writes:<ref>[http://www.henrymakow.com/9-11_truth_deniers_are_crimina.html 9-11 Truth-Deniers are Criminally Responsible] (Henry Makow, 7 September 2009)</ref>

{{quotebox|What we are witnessing is mass self-delusion and hallucination, both criminal and treasonous, by the nation's political and chattering classes. The whole world knows 9-11 was an inside job and are laughing at Americans. How do Americans expect to solve their problems when they won't even face the truth? Their political and cultural leaders are liars, traitors and murderers? 

Until these gangsters and their minions are brought to justice , Americans will continue to eat dirt. The Illuminati central bankers --Rockefellers, Rothschilds and Goldman Sachs -- were responsible for 9-11. It was designed to advance their police state and justify endless war.}}

===Dead presidents = Illuminati===
Makow thinks that [[John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory|JFK]], [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]], and James Garfield were all killed by the Illuminati/[[Rothschilds]] for trying to print money. [[Richard Nixon]], meanwhile, was ''framed'' for [[Watergate]] because he was planning to purge the Illuminati from the [[CIA]] and the US government.<ref>[http://henrymakow.com/2014/04/Nixon-was-framed-by-the-Illuminati.html "Nixon Was Framed By The Illuminati"]</ref>

===Cold War = Illuminati===
Makow writes:<ref name="deathwish" />

{{quotebox|The [Cuban] "revolution" was largely funded and supplied by the Soviet Union. But they couldn't have succeeded without the complicity of the US, <u>proof that the Cold War was an Illuminati charade.</u>

[....]

Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba because of the covert help of New World orderlies in the US State Dept. and mass media. They cut off arm sales to Batista while at the same time supplying Castro, partly by Russian submarines. This told the Cuban military which way the wind was blowing and they quietly defected.}}

===The Fed = Illuminati===
Makow also believes in [[Federal Reserve System|Federal Reserve]] crankery, and states that {{wpl|Ezra Pound}} was jailed for trying to blow the whistle on the Fed.<ref name="cartel"/>

===The Beatles = Illuminati===
Makow argues that [[The Beatles]] were Illuminati mind controllers who promoted drug use, free sex and the [[New Age]] movement. As with Bush, Makow knows this because of a gesture John Lennon made with his hand on the cover of ''Yellow Submarine''.<ref>[http://www.henrymakow.com/beatles_were_mind_control.html The Beatles - Illuminati Mind Control]</ref>

===A440 tuning = Illuminati=== 
An article about the [[A440]] conspiracy theory on Makow's site contains the following passage: "...Rockefeller (Illuminati) financial interests dictated that the standard tuning for the note of 'A' above middle C would henceforth be said to vibrate at precisely 440 cycles per second."<ref>[https://www.henrymakow.com/musicalscale.html Does Conspiracy Extend to Musical Scale?]</ref>

==Other crankery==

Henry now claims that marijuana legalization is part of the "Illuminati agenda" and exists to fund "narcoterrorists". 

In his site, there is Wendy Thomas, who believes that family courts are controlled by Masonic judges who give away child custody to pedophiles and promote [[Richard Gardner]]'s supposedly "pro-pedophile" theories.<ref>[http://henrymakow.com/family_judges_awarding_custody.html Masonic Judges Awarding Custody to Pedophiles]</ref> At least, in a [[stopped clock]] moment, another writer named Dan Absear ([[irony|who himself claims to be]] [[cognitive dissonance|a victim of parental alienation]]<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141111211047/http://henrymakow.com/2014/11/whistle-blower-falls-on-hard-times.html Whistle-blower Falls on Hard Times]</ref>) is against people assuming that what he calls "doting fathers" are pedophiles just because they are actively involved in their children's lives, although he still makes his defense in a highly homophobic way (probably compounded by his wife, a "radical feminist lesbian, and likely a psychopath", leaving him for a "rather attractive female principal of [the] school").<ref>[http://henrymakow.com/schoolaskedmychild.html School Asked My Child If I Molested Her]</ref>

He believes that [[Dog whistle politics|"Zionists"]] killed Jews in the Holocaust, i.e. that [[Blaming the victim|the Holocaust was an inside job]]. While there is [[Reinhard Heydrich|one example]] of a Jewish Nazi, the idea that all the Nazis were Jews is clearly ridiculous.

==Relationship with Jeff Rense==
Makow had a falling out with fellow crank [[Jeff Rense]] over Makow's insistence that the [[Fukushima accident]] was intentional. Rense didn't believe him, and refused to continue linking to Makow. Makow then teamed up with Rense's 7th wife to claim Rense has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.<ref>[http://www.henrymakow.com/jeff_renses_ninth_ex-wife_spe.html Makow.com:Jeff Rense's Seventh Ex-Wife Speaks Out (Part 1)]</ref> Makow maintains a section on his site dedicated to pointing out Rense's character flaws.<ref>[http://www.henrymakow.com/the_jeff_rense_collection_arti.html Makov.com: The Jeff Rense File]</ref>

==On RationalWiki==
While Henry Makow himself didn't mention us, his website doesn't seem to mind us, unlike many nutjobs and webshites. If anything, they even quoted us when criticizing [[William Schnoebelen|William J. Schnoebelen]] for [[Stopped clock|mostly correct reasons]].<ref>[https://www.henrymakow.com/2017/01/the-view-from-helsinki.html A View from Helsinki]</ref>
