Controversy
In a May 2011 article, Dankof also quoted from and wrote that the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion accurately reflect the state of the world. He lauded PressTV as one of the few exceptions to the Jewish control of the media.
When the Southern Poverty Law Center reviewed a DVD that was popular among white supremacists, it found that Mark Dankof, who it noted "contributes to the anti-Semitic American Free Press" was one of a select group granted interviews by the filmmaker. The others shared a common theme, including the Romanian National Vanguard News Agency, whose motto is "International News for People of European Descent", and the The Political Cesspool, an "overtly anti-Semitic, racist show whose guests have included former Klan boss David Duke, neo-Nazi April Gaede and Holocaust denier Mark Weber."
9/11 conspiracy theories
Iran's Press TV interviewed Mark Dankof on the regarding 9/11 conspiracy theories, proclaiming that the official story of the "alleged so-called terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center" is starting to crumble. Dankof largely echoed the conclusions of Press TV. He doubted the findings of the Warren Commission, and believes there was Israeli foreknowledge about the incident, and that explosives placed in the building explained the perfect collapse of both buildings. Dankof's website links to the engineers and architects for 9/11 Truth and he is satisfied by the work of Dr. Steven Jones.
