Why did he choose the last name Maxwell?
I am trying to figure out why Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch changed his name to Robert Maxwell, just after WW2. Then, I came across this video. This woman shines light on some things the media doesn’t.

I fear from what I see and hear on media, however, it’s the feeling I get that effects me the most. I don’t feel like we are Americans anymore, in the traditional since. I feel we have been smoke and mirrored, divided, conquered and groomed just for the purpose to support and defend the Zionist agenda. I don’t support it.
I fear this has been going on for decades, a slow transformation we have been subjected too.
Shivers down my spine, when ever I hear the name Ghislaine Maxwell on media. My last name is Maxwell. Are we related, Noooooo! absolutely not. Ghislaine is the daughter of Robert Maxwell. Here is some info from Wikipedia.
Ian Robert Maxwell (born Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch; 10 June 1923 – 5 November 1991) was a British media proprietor and politician.
Of Jewish descent, he escaped the Nazi occupation of his native Czechoslovakia and joined the Czechoslovak Army in exile during World War II. He was decorated after active service in the British Army. In subsequent years he worked in publishing, building up Pergamon Press to a major academic publisher. After six years as a Labour Member of Parliament (MP) during the 1960s, Maxwell again put all his energy into business, successively buying the British Printing Corporation, Mirror Group Newspapers and Macmillan Inc., among other publishing companies.
You can read about Robert Maxwell on Wikipedia. Here is a screen image taken from his Wikipedia page1.
As you can gather, Robert Maxwell is an Israeli supporter of some type and Ghislaine, his daughter, continues his legacy. Which was helping Jeffery Epstein honeypot and control our federal representatives.
Another point I would like to make
I feel that one of the worst laws that any country can have is allowing a person or family to change their name. England allows this. From Wikipedia
Deed of change of name
A deed of change of name2 is a legal document used in the United Kingdom, Ireland and some other countries with legal systems based on English common law, to record an intended change of name by a person or family. It is one use of a deed poll.
Some organizations, such as government departments issuing passports and driving licenses, may not recognize a name change without a deed poll. However, an official document is not a legal requirement for a valid name change in common law.
Why did he change his name to Robert Maxwell from Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch, from a Jewish name to a Scottish name. Of all the names there are he chose Maxwell. Also, I noticed he purchased a few scientific publishing company. Here is a list from Grok AI.
Yes, Robert Maxwell did purchase several scientific and academic publishing companies (or divisions thereof) as part of building his media and publishing empire. Based on historical records, he acquired at least five such entities, often through his flagship company Pergamon Press or later through Maxwell Communication Corporation. These acquisitions focused on scientific, technical, medical, and reference publishing. Note that some were divisions or subsidiaries rather than standalone companies, and Pergamon Press itself started as an acquisition that Maxwell renamed and expanded. He also reacquired Pergamon after losing control of it temporarily.
Here’s a list with names and dates (where available; some sources provide approximate timelines):
- Butterworth-Springer: Acquired in 1951. Maxwell purchased 75% of this minor scientific publisher (with Paul Rosbaud holding the remaining 25%), renamed it Pergamon Press, and grew it into a major academic house specializing in scientific journals and books. This was his foundational entry into scientific publishing.
- Subscription books division of George Newnes Ltd.: Acquired in 1965 by Pergamon Press. This included encyclopedias like Chambers and Pictorial Knowledge, expanding Pergamon’s reference and scientific publishing portfolio.
- Caxton Holdings: Acquired in May 1967 by Pergamon Press. This was a competitor in the encyclopedia and reference business, further bolstering scientific and educational content.
- Pergamon Press (re acquisition): Reacquired in 1974. After losing control in a 1969 takeover dispute with Leasco Data Processing Corporation, Maxwell bought it back for approximately £1.5 million, restoring his scientific publishing flagship.
- Macmillan Inc.: Acquired in 1988 for $2.6 billion through Maxwell Communication Corporation. This American firm included significant scientific, technical, and educational publishing divisions.
Maxwell’s strategy involved aggressive expansion in postwar scientific publishing, but many of these assets were later sold off (e.g., Pergamon to Elsevier in 1991 for £440 million) to cover debts. Not all his acquisitions were purely scientific (e.g., he bought newspaper groups like Mirror Group in 1984), but the above are the ones directly tied to scientific and academic fields.
I think he had a desire to control the science publishing narrative. This way he could alarm, delay or even outright refuse to publish articles from scientist. This is not good for the science community. Robert Maxwell could have been an informer to Israeli Zionist efforts to gain control of future science technology. Maybe Einstein working at the patent office in his younger years was thinking of this too.
This may seem a conspiracy, however, this may be a lead as to why he chose his last name to be Maxwell, A Scottish last name. I wish I could persuade them to change there name back to Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch.
