John Loftus (military author)

John Joseph Loftus (born February 12, 1950), is an American author, conspiracy theorist, former high level U.S. government prosecutor and former Army intelligence officer.

He began working for the US Department of Justice in 1977 and in 1979 joined their Office of Special Investigations, which was charged with prosecuting and deporting Nazi war criminals in the US.

[5] The Office of Special Investigations historian David Marwell described Loftus' book The Belarus Secret as "the worst kind of amateur history.

According to Loftus, it was all part of a Cold War scheme to wage guerrilla warfare in Soviet-occupied Europe, in which the Nazi collaborators were to play a key role.

"[9] Loftus previously had a radio show on Talkline Communications Network broadcast live every Monday and Tuesday from 11 pm to midnight EST in New York City, northern New Jersey, southern Connecticut, and Miami and Pompano Beach, Florida.

Only afterwards was it revealed that Hilal had left the address three years previously and the home was now owned by a family, who was then subjected to threats and vandalism and required police protection as a result of Loftus' words.
