Hitler’s Mein Kampf to Return to Germany?

“Whoever takes it upon himself to write an honest intellectual history of twentieth-century Europe will need a strong stomach. But he will need something more. He will need to overcome his disgust long enough to ponder the roots of this strange and puzzling phenomenon.”^[1]

…by Jonas E. Alexis

Hitler’s Mein Kampf will probably make its appearance again in Germany. It was forbidden to reprint the book after World War II, but there is a consensus that the book will more than likely see the light of day once again.

But there is one big problem: fear has already gotten a grip of members of the Dreadful Few. “Regardless of the academic context provided by the new volume, critics say the new German edition will ultimately allow Hitler’s voice to rise from beyond the grave.”[2]

Charlotte Knoblock, head of the Jewish community in Munich, is already in a state of panic.  “This book is most evil,” she said. “It is the worst anti-Semitic pamphlet and a guidebook for the Holocaust.”[3]

Levi Solomon, spokesman for the Jewish Forum for Democracy and Against Anti-Semitism in Berlin, was also concerned about Mein Kampf’s new appearance.

“I am absolutely against the publication of ‘Mein Kampf,’ even with annotations,” he declared. “Can you annotate the devil? Can you annotate a person like Hitler? This book is outside of human logic.”[4]

Library historian Forian Sepp added, “This book is too dangerous for the general public.”[5] The Washington Post calls the book a “toxic text.”[6]

There is one big problem with all this hoopla: Knoblock, Solomon, Sepp and others could never ask deeper questions about Nazi Germany because that would force them to reexamine the prevailing vision.

To put it another way, Knoblock and others could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by asking historically metaphysical questions: Why and how did Nazi Germany come into existence? Was it solely based on an abiding hatred of all Jews? If so, how did Hitler manage to keep at least 150,000 people of Jewish descent in the Third Reich?[7] Did he plan to exterminate them as well?

Furthermore, If Knoblock and others do not want to “annotate the devil,” why aren’t they against neo-Nazis sabotaging the Ukraine? Don’t they know that Jewish Neocon Victoria Nuland has forged an alliance with those Neo-Nazis? Don’t they know that Nuland wanted to “fu$k the E.U”?[8]

Did Nuland “annotate the devil?” when she made a pack with those neo-Nazis? Did Jewish politician and former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko “annotate the devil” when she said

“I’m ready to grab a machine gun and shoot that mother fu$ker [Vladimir Putin] in the head”?

Is that politically correct? When did you hear this from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, Fox, etc.? Tymoshenko meant it when she said then, “It’s about time we grab our guns and go kill those damned Russians together with their leader.” Here is the actual interview, which Jim W. Dean meticulously dug up last year:

We simply have a contradiction here that can hardly be reconciled. If John J. Mearsheimer’s thesis is right, that “the Ukraine crisis is the West’s fault,”[9] then Victoria Nuland, who spent at least 5 billion U.S. tax dollars agitating the events in the Ukraine, is largely responsible for this.

People like Knoblock are certainly not willing or prepared to delve into those important issues because that may lead them to disturbing historical facts and conclusions.

In fact, I posed some of those questions to a well-known individual who co-authored a book which was published by the University of California Press and which has been widely received. I had a long interaction with that man back in 2012 and it was pretty obvious that he was deliberately lying or protecting his prestigious career as an ideologue. He seemed to have no desire to tell the truth—although he gave readers the hubristic impression that his book is a serious historical study.

I read his book very carefully and it is fraught with historical misinformation, deliberate lies and fabrications, and complete nonsense. At the end, I asked him if he would like to give me permission to publish my interactions with him (unedited and untouched). He refused and gave the impression that he will take litigious actions should I decide to publish it.

I was completely stunned because I also read his other books, in which he inveighs against people who do not want to get into serious discussion or interaction. I had to write back and tell him quite frankly:

“I now seriously believe you are under the wings of an ideology in writing your book. Western culture is based on reason and serious scholarship, not on academic mud-slinging and deliberate falsehood.

“In your book, you theoretically and philosophically hold the view that one should have a skeptical approach to history and that documented accounts, archival documents, etc., matter.

“Yet practically you seem to do the opposite when it comes to examining extraordinary claims about Nazi Germany. For example, you asserted in several parts of your book that the gas chamber theory is true when even people like Deborah Lipstadt repudiates this very claim. This is historically embarrassing.

“In a search for truth, it is not intellectually safe to dismiss your opponent with name-calling and libelous accusations. You did exactly that in your book. One should always look for logical consistency, empirical adequacy, intellectual honesty, and rational arguments.

“One should always be willing to follow the truth—wherever it may lead. It is only the truth that will liberate one from historical and intellectual insanity. As Plato rightly put it in The Republic,

“‘And don’t you think that being deceived about the truth is a bad thing, while having a grasp of the truth is good? And don’t you think having a grasp of the truth is shaving a belief that matches the way things are?’

“There is a bigger issue that needs to be addressed as well: were there people of Jewish descent in Nazi Germany? According to Jewish historian Bryan Mark Rigg in Hitler’s Jewish Soldiers (University Press of Kansas), the answer is yes. Did Hitler know about this?

“The answer again is a resounding yes. If Hitler wanted to exterminate all the Jews of Europe, which you argue in several sections of your book, it makes no sense for him to have those people in his own military.

“Moreover, it makes no sense for Hitler to spare the lives of other Jews such as his own doctor. He called Eduard Bloch, his Jewish doctor when he was growing up, ‘a noble Jew.’

“When Germany occupied Austria in 1938, Hitler specifically placed Block ‘under the protection of the Gestapo, as Linz’s only Jew: Dr. and Mrs. Bloch were allowed to remain in their home undisturbed until all the formalities regarding their emigration were settled. Without interference from the authorities they could sell their large, beautiful home for a fair price, and they were allowed to keep their money—extraordinary privileges at that time.’[10]”

During our conversation, the author admitted that there were many Jews in Nazi Germany, but he never mentioned this fact in his entire book! I asked him why he took that dishonest route. His response was really shocking:

 “What is the purpose of this inquiry of yours? Do you doubt the Holocaust story? Do you think because there were Jews in Nazi Germany that no Holocaust happened?”[11]

 That indeed was an infallible sign that I was in a conversation with an ideologue and not a serious writer who was interested in historical truth.

In the summer of last year, I found out that the same person was in the Holocaust business to pursue his career and prestige. In other words, he was an opportunist, eager to be famous and to capitalize on the Holocaust story, which progressively became the new fad in the twentieth century.

The key issue in our study here is that the Holocaust establishment refuses to acknowledge the inescapable fact that Nazi ideology did not arrive out of the blue, nor did it encompass an unbinding hatred toward all Jews. Likewise, it was not separated from anything the Jews did or said.

Instead, it was helped along by revolutionaries of Jewish extraction which directly or indirectly sought to deconstruct the German culture and literally humiliate German intellectuals and writers. This important fact has been blacked out in many books that purport to examine the Weimar Republic before Hitler came to power.[12]

Long before Hitler came to power, Heinrich Graetz, one of the founders of Jewish historiography, wrote to Moses Hess, one of Karl Marx’s collaborators, saying:

“I am looking forward with pleasure to flogging the Germans and their leaders—Schleiermacher, Fichte, and the whole wretched Romantic school.”[13]

Baruch Levy, one of Marx’s correspondents, was also of the same spirit when he said,

“the Jewish people taken collectively shall be its own Messias…In this new organization of humanity, the sons of Israel now scattered over the whole surface of the globe…shall everywhere become the ruling element without oppositions…

“The government of the nations forming the Universal or World Republic shall all thus pass, without any effort, into Jewish hands thanks to the victory of the proletariat…

“Thus shall the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, that, when the Messianic epoch shall have arrived, the Jews will control the wealth of all the nations of the earth.”[14]

By the 1920s, the Dreadful Few began to flog the Germans by producing pornography and literally degrading and denigrating the culture which was largely docile to the moral order. Berlin in particular became the Babylon of much of the Western world, and sexual fetishism of all sort was literally widespread.[15]

Paul Johnson, himself a philo-Semite, declared,

“In a number of highly celebrated provocations, the stage of the ‘20s dealt with topics like patricide, incest and other crimes and the deepest inclination of the times tended to self-mockery.”[16]

Even D. H. Lawrence, himself a proponent of sexual liberation, knew that the Weimar Republic had become a place for sexual debauchery, writing in a letter that

“at night you feel strange things stirring in the darkness…There is a sense of danger…a queer, bristling feeling of uncanny danger.”[17]

Later, Christopher Isherwood, a homosexual and proponent of sexual liberation, went to Berlin to immerse himself into the gay bars, writing later, “There was terror in the Berlin air.”[18]

During that era, Jewish scholar Mel Gordon of the University of California tells us that the Weimar Republic

“stimulated all the external tics of sexual perversity. In the center of Europe, mesmerized audiences were warned, sits a nightmare municipality, a human swamp of unfettered appetites and twisted prurient proclivities…With Babylon and Nero’s Rome, Weimar Berlin has entered into our topological thesaurus as a synonym for moral degeneracy.”[19]

Magnus Hirschfeld, a Jewish doctor, was a major proponent of sexual degeneracy during that era. Even popular books with philo-Semitic bent on a few occasions point out things that should give an astute observer something to think about. For example, Otto Friedrich declares in his Before the Deluge: A Portrait of Berlin in the 1920s that Hirschfeld’s book

“contained page after repellent page of passport-style photographs—mournful looking hermaphrodites, castrati exhibiting their scars, mustachioed rapists staring out through prison bars, and every other variety of sexual misfit.”[20]

Gordon goes so far as to say that during that period Berlin “would have to be considered as one of the most faithless—or heathen—cities in the Western world.”[21]

A year before Hitler came to power,

“Berlin alone supported the flashy productions, seances, and publications of 20,000 itinerant telepathists, wonder-working healers, palm readers, storefront clairvoyants, Hollow-Earth adherents, alchemists, stage mesmerists, doomsday prophets, Gypsy-clad fortunetellers, and trans-performers.”[22]

It must also remembered that it was a time where black magicians such as Aleister Crowley roamed Europe with their sexual rituals in order to gain entrance into what Crowley would later refer to as the New Aeon.

All of these Satanic sex ceremonies were done as a form of blasphemy in Berlin, where some of the participants also took drugs in order to enhance their sexual magic.[23] In Gordon’s words, there were “dionysian-like festivities,” where hymns to Pan were chanted and a goat was sacrificed to begin the sexual ceremony.[24]

Yet by 1932, the power of sexual eroticism began to decline during the rise of Nazi Germany—most pornographic publications were banned and nudist clinics such as Koch’s were shut down.[25]

By 1933, Hirschfeld’s Institute of Sexology was ransacked and vandalized by SA-men and students. Archival files were destroyed, and thousands of books and manuscripts were burned.[26]

“Berlin’s sex industry contracted and nearly disappeared throughout the summer months of 1933.”[27]

If people like Charlotte Knoblock want to examine Mein Kampf or Hitler’s entire ideology in a serious fashion, then they need to put those facts into their calculus.

Hitler, throughout Mein Kampf, was certainly aware of Jewish pernicious activities, and even declared that

“the part which the Jews played in the social phenomenon of prostitution, and more especially in the white slavery traffic, could be studied here better than any other West-European city, with the possible exception of certain ports of Southern France…

“A cold shiver ran down my spine when I first ascertained that it was the same coldblooded, thick-skinned and shameless Jew who showed his consummate skill in conducting that revolting exploitation of the dregs of the big city. Then I became fired with wrath.”[28]

This anger began to escalate after World War I when he saw what was happening in the press and theatre in Germany, when art in general was being used to denigrate the German culture.

What perhaps moved Hitler’s anger to a new height was that the Jews were less than three percent of the population, yet they largely controlled the theatre and were promoting what he would call “filth” and “pornography.”[29] For Hitler, these acts “must have been definitely intentional.”[30]

And it was.

Pornography in the nineteenth century was largely a Jewish town.[31] Pornography in the twentieth century was still a Jewish town, and Jewish scholars have indirectly and somewhat reluctantly pointed this out.[32]

We have discussed these complex issues in countless articles in the past and it is unnecessary to open the Pandora’s Box here. In short, Nazi Germany was almost impossible without Jewish behavior. In fact, one can reasonably induce that Jewish behavior almost exclusively created Nazi Germany. But Nazi Germany, as E. Michael Jones rightly puts it, lacked metaphysical foundation, which seemed to be why it fell.

[7] There are some speculations (though I do not believe it is true) that Eva Braun may have been a Jewess. Adam Sherwin, “Did Adolf Hitler marry a Jewish woman? DNA tests ‘show Eva Braun associated with Ashkenazi Jews,’” The Independent, April 5, 2014. If this turns out to be true, then this will be another piece of evidence which shows that the Jewish question has virtually little to do with “race” and has much do to with theology or ideology. And for those who have been hoodwinked by the idea that Jewish behavior is genetic, there are other theories out there saying that Hitler was probably a Jew. Jewish historian Bryan Mark Rigg discusses these issues in his book Hitler’s Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and men of Jewish Descent in the German Military (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2002).

[12] Peter Gay’s Weimar Culture is a classic example. Peter Gay, Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider (New York: Norton, 2001). Gay is a Jew who grew up in Germany during the rise of the Third Reich.  In his entire memoir, Gay never discusses those issues either. Peter Gay, My German Question: Growing Up in Nazi Berlin (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1998). On that point, this is really dishonesty to start thinking about “anti-Semitism” and then turn the blind eye on what was going on in Berlin, the Babylon of the world. And this is where Gay grew up! One writer declared that “The Berlin of the Weimar Republic was the sex capital of Europe.” Tobias Churton, Aleister Crowley: The Beast in Berlin—Art, Sex, and Magic in the Weimar Republic (Rochester, VT: Inner Traditions, 2014), xi. Gay expects us to believe that he did not know any of this? Eric D. Weitz briefly or obliquely mentions some of those issues but ridicules the idea that Jews were actually behind the sex industry.
