How Gaza is exposing Germany’s ‘never again’ myth

 

Germany’s unconditional support for Israel has been an easy way to avoid examining our brutal past. The colossal weight of the ongoing genocide in Gaza is crushing our facile myths and forcing us to re-examine our historical dogma.

We Germans live in a reality shaped by our genocidal history. But while the national narrative of “collective guilt” for the Holocaust is omnipresent, German lived experience exposes this as more myth than reality. With our performative “commemoration culture,” we instrumentalize the Holocaust to distance ourselves from our past, to deflect from our current far-right problems, and to rebrand ourselves as a champion of morality. A central part of crafting our self-serving image, our “genocide hubris,” is our current unquestioning support of Israeli war crimes, a hubris that has crumbled under the weight of our complicity in the Gaza genocide.

I loved growing up in West Germany of the 1980s and early ‘90s. As a half-German, half-French child, I only had a vague conception of nationality, or of why I should be proud of being what my passport says I am. Thus, I was happy that Germany appeared different from other countries, seemingly less concerned with national pride. That, after two catastrophic World Wars, we didn’t have to have our flag plastered everywhere like the Americans. We were reformed, we were sober now. No more nationalism, no more wars, and no more genocide. If we were proud to be German, it was because we were proud of our “constitutional patriotism” and our new, postwar humanistic values.

In German childhoods, our recent history loomed large. We knew how Germans had been sadistic, hateful, even genocidal in the past. We knew why movie supervillains, from Dr. Strangelove to Hans Gruber, were naturally German. In school, we learned everything about the genocide of the Jews, with footnotes on the Romani genocide, Aktion T4, and – since I went to a Catholic school – the persecution of the Catholic church. (No mention of the countless Slavic victims of Nazi Germany, however, those remained firmly below the awareness threshold.) A Holocaust survivor came to school to give us a first-hand account of the unspeakable horrors that the Jewish people had been subjected to. We read Anne Frank. We memorised Paul Celan’s Holocaust poem “Todesfuge,” with the haunting refrain that “Death is a master from Germany.” We saw Schindler’s List on a school trip to the cinema. We saw the first “Stolpersteine” memorials being installed in the ‘90s. Our school theatre performance was – naturally – Eugène Ionesco’s Nazi allegory, Rhinocéros. When our final high school trip took us to Prague, we made the obligatory, gut-wrenching stop at the Theresienstadt concentration camp.

The lesson couldn’t be clearer: we, as a people, had committed the ultimate sin, and we had to be thoroughly educated to ensure it would never happen again.

And yet, while I was growing up, current affairs were more “again and again” than “never again,” as an endless string of neo-Nazi terrorism echoed uncomfortably the late Weimar Republic  (more...)

From Latter Rain To People’s Temple

 

John and Charles examine how Latter Rain and Message-world teachings overlapped with the theology Jim Jones absorbed during his revival years. They trace the shared restorationist themes, the appeal to apostolic living, and the ways communal practices in People’s Temple mirrored patterns already present in other Latter Rain-influenced groups.

The discussion also explores the wider network around William Branham, Jim Jones, and Joseph Mattsson-Boze in the mid-1950s, asking how these ministries intersected and where their ideologies converged. Along the way, John explains why printed sermon transcripts can be more useful than audio for evaluating Branham’s teachings and shows how certain doctrines evolved across movements over time.

From Seven Prophecies To Eighteen Claims: What Changed?

 

John and Charles examine William Branham’s so-called 1933 prophecies and ask whether the famous “seven visions” were really delivered in 1933 or developed later as part of a growing prophetic narrative. They focus on how the story changed over time, why the number of prophecies became unstable, and how later retellings appear to reshape earlier claims.

They also explore the Roosevelt prediction, the role of conspiracy themes in the 1930s, and the possible influence of figures connected to Roy Davis and Gerald Winrod. The discussion highlights why these prophecy claims became so central to Branham’s authority and why the historical record raises serious questions about the timeline, wording, and credibility of the story.

When “Behold, I Stand At The Door” Turned Antisemitic | Branham Cult Secrets

 

John and Charles examine a disturbing pattern in William Branham’s preaching, including a repeated analogy that frames “letting in Hitler” alongside “letting in Jesus,” and why that comparison lands as morally shocking. They connect that theme to how “Behold, I stand at the door and knock” was commonly taught, often filtered through Branham quotations rather than a plain reading of Scripture.

John and Charles then walk through “servant theology” and a stratified, pyramid-like afterlife hierarchy described in Message circles, including claims about Jews, non-white people, and “heathens” as a coded category. They also discuss how these ideas were expanded within inner-circle teaching, how they affected families, and why many people inside the movement were never told the full implications.

How White Supremacist Theology Entered Pentecostalism

 

John and Charles examine the historical origins of serpent seed theology, tracing how British Israelism evolved into Christian Identity and how those ideas later surfaced in Latter Rain teaching. They walk through the documented development of these beliefs, identifying where extra-biblical interpretations entered Pentecostal circles and why they carried racial implications.

The discussion follows key figures and institutions that shaped this theology, explaining how ideas about mystery Babylon, genealogy, and identity were reframed and reused. By grounding the conversation in historical sources, John and his co-host show how teachings often presented as spiritual revelations were inherited from earlier ideological movements.

What Pentecostalism and the Occult Have in Common? British Israelism Explains It

 

John and Charles trace the origins of British Israelism, showing how pyramidology, zodiac mysticism, and speculative archaeology were blended into a theological system that reshaped ideas about race, identity, and biblical authority. The discussion explains how figures such as Charles Piazzi Smyth, John Wilson, and Charles A. L. Totten popularized the belief that the Great Pyramid and the Zodiac functioned as hidden “Bibles,” influencing later religious movements.

The conversation also examines how British Israelism migrated from the United Kingdom to the United States, where it took on a racialized framework that appealed to white supremacist ideology. By unpacking the theological claims, historical figures, and cultural consequences, the episode explains why British Israelism became a foundational influence for later cults and extremist religious systems.

American fascism is both homegrown and imported

 

Trump's fascism is neither uniquely American nor merely imported, but a convergence of the US’s own racial-terror history and a long-standing admiration for Nazi ideology and aesthetics.

As Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continue to wreak border violence upon US cities, an amateur Historikerstreit is playing out on social media over the origins of white supremacist authoritarianism under President Donald Trump.

Hobby historians and academics turned content-creators are at odds over whether America in 2026 is more comparable to Nazi Germany or to the many instances in the US’s own history of racial terrorism.

“ICE is the American Gestapo,” wrote bestselling author Stephen King tersely on X, a reference to Nazi Germany’s notorious secret police.

Savala Nolan, a racial and social justice scholar at UC Berkley Law, disagrees.

“ICE is not the gestapo; ICE is ours. It’s a manifestation of the same systems and beliefs that animated slave patrols, military conquest against the indigenous, vigilante night riders, and German Shepherds on Black ppl,” she posted on Instagram.

True, these homegrown, historical continuities are hard to miss when one looks at ICE’s and CBP’s campaign of terror against American communities of colour.

But calls to integrate the autochthonous origins of Trump’s anti-immigrant persecution in analyses of the current moment should not obscure the historical influence Nazism has had on American fascism, even if it is true that Nazism itself “was inspired by America’s institutionalized racism and indigenous holocausts,” as Haydar Ali, a Toronto-based rapper, poet and writer, reminds us.  (more...)

The Threat of Fascism Today: 'Rohatyn as Satan'

 

This week, we feature Lyndon LaRouche's July, 2006 Washington, D.C. webcast detailing the political and economic threat of fascism in our world then, and today. LaRouche identified the hard core fascist banking/financier networks behind Hitler and Mussolini in the 1930s that were never prosecuted and dismantled after World War II. This same "beastman" crowd, typified more recently by Synarchist Felix Rohatyn,  is again attempting to plunge our planet into a new dark age of war and genocide. As he frequently did, LaRouche insisted that only by mobilizing the inherent goodness innate in every human individual at the highest level, could this threat be met and defeated.

Appeasement: the SHOCKING truth about the 1938 Munich Agreement - The “three block” imperial agenda

 

Neville Chamberlain's perfidious game in 1938 deliberately created a monster in the heart of Europe, setting stage for the continent's greatest tragedy in history.

Following the destruction of Czechoslovakia, Hitler turned his attention to Poland. At first, it was just diplomacy: the talks with Poland kicked off on 21 October 1938. As expected, German representatives asked the Polish government for the city of Danzig and a kilometer-wide strip across the Polish Corridor to accommodate a highway and four-track railroad under German sovereignty. These were deemed moderate requests and they were made to the Polish ally in a relatively cordial atmosphere.

The territories in question were parts of Germany that she’d lost by Versailles treaty after the World War I, so German demands didn’t seem outrageous. At that time Hitler did not intend to overrun Poland, but rather to engage her in the forthcoming invasion of Russia. If his demands were granted, Germany was prepared to reciprocate with certain concessions to Poland. However, the Polish government did not yield to German demands.

A few months later, on 21 March 1939, Hitler reiterated his demands, this time more forcefully. When the news of this reached London, UK’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain suddenly and unilaterally issued a strangely worded security guarantee for Poland. It read as follows:

“Certain consultations are now proceeding with other governments. In order to make perfectly clear the position of His Majesty’s Government in the meantime, before those consultations are concluded, I now have to inform the House [of Commons] that during that period, in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty’s Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power.”

This was the first time Britain made such a commitment to another nation since 1918. Not only did the British government commit to guaranteeing a foreign nation, it also gave that nation the privilege to decide when the guarantee would take effect, while asking for nothing in return. Importantly, the British only guaranteed Poland’s independence, not its territorial integrity. In that, they left the door wide open for Germany to continue pressuring Poland for territorial concessions.  (more...)

Appeasement: the SHOCKING truth about the 1938 Munich Agreement

 

Neville Chamberlain's perfidious game in 1938 deliberately created a monster in the heart of Europe, setting stage for the continent's greatest tragedy in history.

As the crisis between Germany and Czechoslovakia escalated through the summer of 1938, France and Britain ordered the Czech government not to mobilize its troops for fear of provoking Germany. Instead, they pressured Prague to accept the Anglo-French solution to the crisis. But their proposal would only further weaken Czechoslovakia’s security in exchange for vague promises of international guarantees.

The government of President Edvard Beneš protested vigorously and rejected the solution. In their turn, London and Paris rejected the Czech refusal and mounted further pressure on the government in Prague. Neville Chamberlain explained the imperative to force Czechoslovakia’s government to yield:

“The idea of territorial cession would be likely to have a more favorable reception from the British public if it could be represented as the choice of the Czechoslovak Government themselves and it could be made clear that they had been offered the choice of a plebiscite or of territorial cession and had preferred the latter. This would dispose of any idea that we were ourselves carving up Czechoslovak territory.”

To turn up the pressure, France threatened to revoke their alliance and abandon the Czechs to Germany. Finally, on 21 September 1938 the Czech government relented and accepted the Anglo-French dictate.

The very next day, Chamberlain paid Hitler a visit at Godesberg on the Rhine in order to personally deliver the good news. At that meeting, Hitler and Chamberlain formulated the extreme Godesberg Ultimatum – a set of even more exacting demands against the Czechoslovak government and had the British military attaché rush them to Prague.  (more...)

From Savitri Devi to the NAR: The Weaponization of Mysticism | Converging Apostasy

 

John and Steve trace the ideological roots of mystical fascism and its unsettling influence on modern religious movements. They uncover how thinkers like Savitri Devi, Helena Blavatsky, and Alice Bailey shaped occult traditions that fed into Nazi spirituality—ideas that later resurfaced in Christian Identity, Latter Rain, and the New Apostolic Reformation. Together they explore how mysticism, dominionism, and political power converge into what Steve calls a “weaponization of Christianity,” connecting early 20th-century esoteric fascism to the rhetoric of modern revivalists.

Through themes like divine unity, eugenics, and “ongoing revelation,” they reveal how the same doctrines once used to justify racial purification now appear repackaged as “kingdom power” and “apostolic authority.” This episode dives deep into the historical cross-pollination of mysticism, nationalism, and religion—showing how the pursuit of a “divine world order” has too often led to destruction instead of redemption.

Germany’s leaders share Hitler’s goals – Lavrov

 

Russia’s foreign minister has warned there are “clear signs of re-nazification” in Berlin’s ongoing militarization

German leaders are pursuing policies reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s objectives of dominating Europe and inflicting a strategic defeat on Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned.

Germany’s military buildup and ambitions go beyond defense, Lavrov told a press conference following his address to the 80th session of the UN General Assembly on Saturday.

“It’s not just militarization, there are clear signs of re-nazification,” he told reporters. “And why is this being done? Well, probably with the same goal that Hitler had – to dominate all of Europe. And to try to inflict a strategic defeat on the Soviet Union, in the case of Hitler, and in the case of modern Germany and the chorus of main soloists from the European Union and NATO – on the Russian Federation.

The foreign minister accused Chancellor Friedrich Merz of seeking to transform Germany back into “the main military machine of Europe,” citing his increasingly militaristic rhetoric.  (more...)

Anglo-American Intelligence Agents Aided in Hitler’s Rise to Power

 

Their intent was to provoke another world war that would destroy Germany completely and prevent its ability to challenge U.S.-UK global supremacy

Ernst “Putzi” Hanfstaengl (1887-1975) was a Harvard graduate and friend of Theodore Roosevelt who was a top aide to Adolf Hitler from 1923 to 1937.

Although he loathed Hitler’s persecution of Jews, Hanfstaengl wrote Hitler’s speeches and helped polish his image while working to ensure that he received positive press coverage.

Hanfstaengl, presenting himself as a loyal German, was recruited to work for Anglo-American intelligence while running his family’s art gallery in New York City according to Jim Macgregor and John O’Dowd, authors of Two World Wars and Hitler: Who Was Responsible? Anglo-American Money, Foreign Agents and Geopolitics (Trine Day, 2025).

Hanfstaengl had been put in contact with Hitler by Captain Truman Smith, a U.S. military intelligence officer who referred to Hitler as “a remarkable fellow” who was “going to play a big part.”

A “big part,” that is, in a scheme to manipulate into power a reactionary German leader who would wage another war on Russia. The ultimate goal was the destruction of two countries that could challenge Anglo-American hegemony.  (more...)

Political Assassination and the Rise of the German Nazi Party

 

With Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Anna Paulina Luna giving credence to the “Aliens are among us” nonsense, it is important to bear in mind that the CIA was developing “flying saucers” in the 1960’s.

Anna Paulina Luna is outdoing herself, opining that lawmakers have information about “interdimensional beings.”

This is savagely reminiscent of science fiction movies on Trump’s streaming media outlet that are presented as “fact.”

As the Trump regime has tightened its grip, many observers have offered (for the most part) profoundly uninformed analyses of fascism. In this program, we revisit the genesis of German Nazism and the process through which undercover German military intelligence agent Adolf Hitler came to power.

Hitler did not “hypnotize” the German public. He rose to power as the result of a systematic program of political assassination. This was followed by the deliberate introduction of the military into German society to foment reaction.

The bulk of the program features material recorded in June of 1984, setting forth this history.

We should note that the description for the program features an important example of Trans-Atlantic networking. In 1923, future O.S.S. chief William “Wild Bill” Donovan met with German military intelligence agent Adolf Hitler.  (more...)
