DISINFO: Winston Churchill was controlled by the Jews

SUMMARY

The man directly responsible for the demise of the British Empire is Winston Churchill. The policies which he pursued before and during WWII were diametrically opposed to the interests of the British people. Churchill acted as he did because he consciously and deliberately served Jewish interests from at least 1938 until the end of the war. Shadowy Jewish benefactors offered to alleviate Churchill’s financial problems with hundreds of thousands of pounds in “loans.” He would repay his new masters by obsessively pursuing the destruction of Germany, regardless of the cost to Britain.

RESPONSE

The article indulges what is arguably the oldest conspiracy theory in existence: that the Jewish people are an international cabal secretly controlling or poisoning the "elite" strata of human society. See here and here for more examples of pro-Kremlin outlets embracing anti-Semitic myths for disinformation purposes.
