Who is behind Byline.com, the conspiracy website run by anti-press obsessive Peter Jukes? Byline has received £160,000 in funding from Eric Li, a Chinese billionaire who believes dictatorship is preferable to democracy and condemned pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. A supporter of totalitarian regimes is funnelling money into Britain to attack press freedom…

The Sunday Telegraph revealed that Eric Li “wrote regularly for The 4th Media, a website promoting anti-Western conspiracy theories”. Guido has been looking at some of the other articles published by 4th Media in China. The site claims 9/11 was “certainly a false flag operation” carried out by Israel and published an article headlined “Proof: Brussels terror attack was a false flag”. Another article is titled “Jews control the global media”, another complains of “Jewish banksters”, writes about “the Jewish lobby”, “New World Order” and the “Rothschilds”. It equates ISIS to Israel, claiming “The Islamic State and the Jewish State share the same philosophy, the only difference is their point of reference”. Eric Li’s articles and lectures were published and cross-posted by 4th Media “with permission”…

Byline’s conspiracy theories are funded by a billionaire Chinese supporter of totalitarianism. The other website bearing his name is openly anti-Semitic and says 9/11 was done by the Jews. When Byline pontificate about the evils of Fleet Street, remember who is paying them to say it…

UPDATE: Byline manager Peter Jukes responds: “Don’t know if quotes accurate and has no role in company”. He only gave them £160,000…
