The term "Khazarian Mafia" was coined by a man named Gordon Duff. Gordon publishes articles at a website called Veterans Today.
The research below will demonstrate that Gordon Duff is a man who absolutely hates Trump. He absolutely hates Q. He has TDS and has made claims about Trump so outrageous that he makes CNN look fair and balanced.
Why am I posting this article? Because he is ground zero when it comes to all commentary and research on the Khazarian Mafia.
What is the original document outlining the "Khazarian Mafia"?
The document, published on March 11, 2015, is available here:

What is Does Gordon Duff Think of Trump?
Donald Trump is a Hoax, Only a Bit Gay and Jewish as Well

The real “ring of truth.” Let’s say you are a testosterone-charged “man’s man,” visiting Moscow with two of the best of the best of Russia’s call girl community in your hotel room. Every drug imaginable is available and your history is exactly that, or is claimed to be, drug and sex orgies with supermodels, prostitutes, porn queens and even “not so willing” hotel maids.
Instead, you pay them to urinate on a bed. Some might call it a waste. Others might call it something else, a minor “in the closet” secret for some, but a “huuge” secret for the former “Queen” of New York’s underground club scene of the 70’s and 80’s.
What does Gordon Duff think of Q?
We are seeing, though Qanon deception, a Trump regime steeped in the occult, steeped in ritual child abuse and in hatred of conventional Christianity.
The article insists Trump is the one participating in child sacrifice because of "qanon".
What else does Gordon Duff think of Trump?
Here he is accusing Trump of being guilty in 10 child rape cases.
Five of the six alleged incidents took place at two of Trump’s best-known properties — Trump Tower in New York City and Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL. The exception is incident No. 4, which is the most recent (2012) and took place at Albemarle Estate at Trump Winery. Donald and Eric Trump opened the facility as a bed-and-breakfast in May 2015.
What kind of information does Veterans Today push?
Since authors at Veterans Today are the origin of the Khazarian Mafia story, and because the authors claim to have high intel sources -- it is valuable to see what other kinds of information VT is engaged in.
Gordon Duff calling "qanon" Horse Shit:
Veterans Today gloating over the fact that Trump was banned from Facebook for 2 years:
https://veteranstoday.com/2021/06/04/facebook-dumps-trump-for-two-years/
Editor’s Note: What can I say? It could not happen to a more ‘un-nice guy’. This is an indication that the freebie publicity that Trump so loved will be turned off at Facebook through the next midterm Congressional elections.
Veterans Today stated Q is fake, and because of that ... people didn't rise up with their guns like they were supposed to.
https://veteranstoday.com/2019/03/13/qanon-hope-and-heartbreak/
Q (or QAnon) promised an end to these things, BY SO DOING SERVED ITS MAJOR PURPOSE: a lot of the most outraged and activist people deferred doing anything confrontational and kept their AR-15s on the mantle in the (ultimately vain) hope that some part of the system in some way would correct itself. So they waited and hoped, and kept waiting and hoping…
In summary, if they have bad research and bad takes on Trump and Q, why should anyone believe they have superior research skills when it comes to the Khazarian Mafia? If they don't believe the hundreds of solid Q proofs that were provided, how good of researchers could they really be? And what is the likelihood, with all their ties to intel, that they are simply engaged in pushing a psyop?
But you do dispute the Khazarian origin idea common to both Koestler and Duff.
Let me steelman your argument back to you in order to see if I understand your question properly.
The Khazarian hypothesis says Jews might come from Turkey instead of the middle east -- that's all, nothing more nothing less. No insinuation of "name stealers", no implications of anything sinister about them -- just a "hey, their genetics might come from this area instead of that area" ...
Then the next step is you want everyone to believe this is a previous recognition of all the theories behind the Khazarian Mafia -- that somehow use of the "Khazarian" term by Koestler is recognition of the concepts behind the Khazarian Mafia -- i.e. name stealers, that Jews are in control, etc.
Yes, I dispute that Koestler's use of the term has anything to do with Khazarian mafia. And no, I'm not just going to assume the name stealers and all the other rhetoric -- I'm sure if you had a reference for those you would have already used it.
It all started with Duff. Nothing about Koestler has anything to do with the concepts behind the Khazarian mafia or name stealers rhetoric.
If you are Khazarian and living in the Levant claiming the right to do that as a descendant of Hebrews then how does name-stealer not apply?
It's shocking what little evidence you need for you to think you've proven a point.
He had a hypothesis. Hypothesis = guess. But let's assume I grant you the point that they are from a different region.
There's no book that exists that talks about name stealers. There's no prominent article from any reputable author -- not even one with an irreputable author -- that documents in any way, shape or form that real Jews got murdered by fake Jews who took their names.
My problem with those pushing the Khazarian mafia narrative is what little evidence they need to be so certain about something. These things happened hundreds of years ago -- yet Gordon Duff can't even get today's news correct.
He's absolutely certain that Trump raped 10 children. He's absolutely certain Trump got pissed on by prostitutes. These are today's events and he's as wrong as can be -- now we're to believe he's correct about things that happened millennium ago? With zero documentation -- zero sauce?
And you think that referencing that 1976 book was sauce -- somehow relevant, somehow making your point when it objectively has nothing to do with it.
All I can say is you're a gullible lot.
It sounds like you are saying because Duff is wrong about things we care about here that he is wrong about everything. Do I need to say that is a fallacy?
Some of Koestler's sources compiled by AI:
"The Thirteenth Tribe," by Arthur Koestler, primarily uses historical and scholarly sources related to the Khazar Empire and its potential influence on Ashkenazi Jewry. Key sources include the works of Douglas Morton Dunlop, Abraham Poliak, and Raphael Patai. Koestler also draws on Arabic accounts of Khazaria and other historical and archaeological evidence. Specific sources mentioned in the book and related discussions include:
Douglas Morton Dunlop's "History of the Jewish Khazars" (1954): Dunlop's book is cited by Koestler as a main source, though Dunlop himself was more tentative in his conclusions.
Abraham Poliak's "Khazaria: Toledot mamlakhah yehudit" (1951): Poliak's work, written in Hebrew, is another significant source for Koestler's thesis.
Raphael Patai and Jennifer Patai's "The Myth of a Jewish Race" (1975): This book, along with Dunlop and Poliak, is cited by Koestler as providing scientific arguments for his thesis.
Arabic accounts of Khazaria: Sources like Ibn Fadlan, al-Istakhri, Ibn Hawkal, and al-Masudi provide information about the Khazar Khaganate.
Ernest Renan's "Le Judaïsme comme race et religion" (1883): Koestler explicitly refers to Renan's work in his book.
Peter Golden and Moses Shulvass: These historians of the Khazars are mentioned in connection with the controversy surrounding Koestler's claims.
Neil McInnes: McInnes describes Dunlop's conclusions as more tentative.
