Jan Udo Holey (born March 22, 1967 in Dinkelsbühl), often known by his penname Jan van Helsing, is a controversial German author who puts forward conspiracy theories about freemasons ruling the world, Hitler surviving World War II in Antarctica, the Earth being hollow, etc. He draws from sources like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Some of his publications have been banned in Germany and Switzerland under the accusation of inciting anti-semitic hatred.
Most of his books such as Die Kinder des neuen Jahrtausends. Mediale Kinder verändern die Welt are non-political and deal with esoteric subjects only.

[edit] Life
Holey was born as a wealthy family’s second child (out of three). His mother called herself a seer, his father wrote three books of gnostic-esoteric content. According to himself, Holey frequented schools in Crailsheim, Bammental (near Heidelberg), Cambridge (UK) and Munich.
Holey chose his alias "van Helsing", after he read Bram Stoker’s vampire-novel Dracula at the age of fourteen.
Today, Holey runs his own publishing house, publishing oeuvres written by him or others, who are similar to him.
The Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz Baden-Württemberg (an office entrusted with protection of constitution) referred to Holey the first time in its 1996 report under the heading "Rechtsextremistische Einflußnahme auf die Esoterikszene" (Rightist extremist exercise of influence over esotericist scene).
[edit] Political Opinions
Holey draws from different esotericist and conspiracy theories, many originating from the USA. His spectrum reaches from Nostradamus to reincarnation to unveilings of the (alleged) murders of John F. Kennedy and Uwe Barschel. Holey compiled his books, according to his slashers, out of very different sources, stole whole passages, sometimes not even describing them as foreign content nor mentioning the original authors. He didn’t use many serious sources, but a lot of other conspiracy theorists. The author uses the ban against him to describe himself as a victim of a conspiracy.
In Geheimgesellschaften, Holey combines science-fiction, esotericism, Nazi-mythology and ufology and "Zionist global domination"-theories. Thereby, he seriously refers to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which have been proven to be fake.
Holey suggests of "Jewish money bank system" (Rothschild with the "true rulers", the Illuminati) to want to dominate the world. [1]
Although his critics classify him to the rightist extremist wing, Holey and his fellowers claim, his books didn’t speak out against Judaism or a people, but against the powerful, specially against high finance and politics, which planned a New World Order.
