query: What were some of the theories and claims made by Nesta Helen Webster?
answer: Nesta Helen Webster promoted antisemitic canards and revived theories about the Illuminati, claiming they plotted communist world domination through a Jewish cabal, Masons, and Jesuits.  She blamed this group for events like the French and Bolshevik Revolutions. She also believed Bolshevism stemmed from a conspiracy involving Zionism, Pan-Germanism, or occult power, and downplayed Nazi persecution of Jews.
