Windows on the World

"Windows on the World YouTube channel, which is run by Mark Windows – another regular at Keep Talking. Windows on the World has hosted Kollerstrom and Fantom on its YouTube show, as well as antisemites such as Gilad Atzmon. Jeremy Corbyn has been interviewed by the channel twice. Both occasions were unscheduled interviews on the street rather than in a studio: one related to the conflict in Israel and Gaza in 2014, and the other concerned support for a strike by cleaning staff in which Corbyn expressed “Thanks to Windows on the World”. WINDOWS ON THE WORLDThe fact that Keep Talking meet in the real world makes them something of an anomaly in the world of conspiracy theories, as today most conspiracy theory content is produced and consumed online. However, the line between online and offline is a blurred one, with videos of many of the talks given to the group appearing online, and many of the group’s speakers also appearing on other conspiracy theory YouTube channels and running their own websites.One of the UK’s most eccentric conspiracy theory platforms is the YouTube channel Windows on the World (WOW), run and produced by Mark Windows. Windows has a side line as an entertainer with his “Glamtastic Rock Show” in which he sings karaoke in costume. However, his main YouTube channel, started in March 2014, has a little over 12,000 subscribers and has accrued over 1.5 million views. Most videos receive just two-three thousand views, though some have managed tens of thousands.Like Keep Talking, Windows on the World plays host to a wide array of conspiracy theory “experts” covering topics such as climate change denial, chemtrails, the murder of Jo Cox MP, supposed Zionist influence and HOPE not hate.Windows spoke at Keep Talking in November 2018, and regularly has guests on his show that are from the Keep Talking ecosystem, with Ian Fantom and Nick Kollerstrom appearing numerous times.Windows is happy to have known Holocaust deniers on the show, and hosted convicted denier Alison Chabloz in April 2017, as well as other antisemites such as Gilad Atzmon who appeared on an episode of the show entitled “The Holocaust of Truth”, in August 2018. Atzmon later spoke at Keep Talking in November and Windows attended, as did Stead Steadman, an organiser of the far right London Forum." https://cst.org.uk/data/file/6/c/keep-talking-2020-02.1582535588.pdf
