90 years later and still going strong. The National Socialist German Workers Party had a rather short life span, existing from 1920-1945. With that “Socialist” word in there, you’d think that it designated some kind of far Left, Bolshevik inspired movement. But from the very beginning, the Nazis- as they came to be known to the world- were depicted as extremely right-wing.

There seems to be no credible evidence that the National Socialists ever called themselves Nazis, and present day “extremists” contend that it was a derogatory term coined by influential German journalist Konrad Heiden, who was predictably enough a Jew. The court historians counter by claiming that in 1926, propagandist extraordinaire Josef Goebbels used the term “Nazi-Sozi” as an abbreviation for National Socialists. Knowing what I do about the absolute lack of credibility on the part of the court historians, I am naturally dubious about this. Thus, I think it’s far more likely that Leftists devised the term as a slur. I suppose it’s “anti-Semitic” just to wonder about this. Like many German Jews, Heiden would later flee to America, where he not surprisingly found a New York publisher for the first critical biography of Adolf Hitler, which recounted the Nazi persecution of anonymous Jews.

Adolf Hitler rose to power on the basis of the horrific German economy, which was devastated even beyond what Americans saw during the worst of the Great Depression. Following World War I, Germany became the first known nation in the history of warfare to be forced to pay those who defeated them on the battlefield. These economic sanctions were so onerous that, as hard as it is to believe, they continued to be paid until 2010. Now, I don’t believe that Hitler, a frustrated artist, started an organic revolt of the common people. Antony Sutton’s Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler did an admirable job of documenting the great powers that were behind him. There has seldom been a grass roots movement in any country without those great powers financing, coordinating, and manipulating it. But much of Hitler’s rhetoric still attracts followers today, and there are obvious parallels to America 2.0.

It is impossible to determine the truth about Hitler. He is the most demonized figure in the history of the world. Was he Catholic? Actually Jewish himself? A believer in the occult or fierce defender of Christianity? Did he really have one testicle? Was he having sex with his own niece? Was he gay? Or did he remain a virgin until his fake suicide in 1945? I suppose it’s to be expected that such a thoroughly demonized man is unlikely to be portrayed as a tireless lover of countless beautiful women. The hatchet job on him was so thorough that, in one dramatization of his life, I think from the 1990s, the World War I veteran (he was a genuine war hero) was shown beating his little dog to death after his entire regiment, except him, was wiped out by the Allies. In other words, he would have been the only witness to killing his dog. Obviously, Hitler never confessed to that. And yet viewers shook their heads in disgust.

While Goebbels is credited with being a Hall of Fame propagandist, Hollywood’s own anti-Nazi propaganda seems to have been far more successful and long lasting. Charlie Chaplin turning to the camera at the end of The Great Dictator, breaking the fourth wall, pleading with America to join the war against “fascism,” and pledge the flesh and blood of their own youngsters. The Three Stooges, with Moe’s own demeaning caricature of Hitler. Bugs Bunny and other cartoon stars. Everyone from Jack Benny and Carole Lombard to Tarzan was battling Nazis on the screen. I’ve documented the efforts of the Roosevelt administration to get America involved in the new European war, just like Charlie Chaplin wanted, in my books Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics: 1776-1963 and American Memory Hole: How the Court Historians Promote Disinformation, which culminated in the Pearl Harbor false flag.

How can we possibly know the truth about Hitler? Could he really have been the good guy in World War II? I wouldn’t say that, but we know that Stalin, FDR and Churchill were certainly not good guys. Hitler pointed out the obvious to the German people, who were struggling under desperate economic circumstances. Jews held a wildly disproportionate amount of power in the German media, literary and film industries. Sound familiar? Did he really propose a Hollywoodish-sounding “Final Solution?” Who knows? I don’t speak German, and while I can sometimes distinguish the word “Juden” in his wild, arm raving rants, I have no idea what he was really saying. I’ve read what he said about usury, and agree with him that it is always a very bad thing. The Catholic church used to consider it a mortal sin. He had a valid point about the land that had been taken from Germany at the Versailles conference following WWI.

Regardless of the reality of the 1930s and 1940s, in 2025 everyone considers “Nazi” to be the ultimate slander. It’s the word both the Left and the Right use to denigrate the hopelessly wrong or evil people they disagree with. Excessive police power is routinely referred to as “Gestapo tactics.” When the word dictator is uttered, people think of Hitler. Not Stalin. Or Mao. Or Pol Pot. Or Robert Mugabe. Hitler, and his Nazis, are in a class by themselves, eighty years after they disappeared from the world. Some of them were executed, after unprecedented “justice” at Nuremberg. Others supposedly committed suicide. Still others, like Rudolph Hess, were given unfathomably harsh lifetime prison sentences. And then there were the fortunate ones, who were brought into America under Operation Paperclip, to start NASA and help convert the OSS into the CIA. Some Nazis are more equal than others.

The Nuremberg Trials took the concept of victors punishing the vanquished even further than the Versailles Treaty. Now, not only could you enact financial penalties upon a losing army, you could prosecute them in a court of “law.” For “war crimes,” which was a heretofore unheard of term. As some have noted, war itself is a crime. Kind of a precursor to the even more Orwellian “hate crimes.” The Nuremberg Trials were so far beyond the pale that many distinguished Americans opposed them, including Edgar Eisenhower, attorney brother of the president, Supreme Court Justice Harland Fiske Stone, and Senator Robert Taft, whose opposition to this “legal” lynching was cited as one of the Profiles in Courage by then Senator John F. Kennedy in his book, who objected to the proceedings himself. I humbly suggest that I was the first American in decades to take this position, as I did in Crimes and Cover-Ups.

After Germany surrendered and World War II finally ended, part of the terms of the surrender was that the National Socialist Party would be banned forever. There can never be another Nazi party in Germany. So, considering they were exorcised from any future Germany, it seems strange that millions of people continue to believe there are “Nazis” alive and well today. These are the same people who used to make fun of Elvis or Bigfoot sightings. And, of course, they regularly ridicule those of us who have faith in the “magical being in the sky.” I don’t know how many reputable Bigfoot sightings there have been, but when was the last Nazi discovered in the wild? I mean actual National Socialist, not someone who criticized Israel or talked about the international bankers. Ironically, the Head Nazi Hitler and perhaps others were hidden away in Argentina for decades, covered up by all the obsessed Nazi hunters.

A moment of inexplicable levity at the Nuremberg Trials

There are no Nazis today. There aren’t very many actual White racists, either. Find me a member of the KKK who will admit it publicly. The “neocon” movement was founded by an ex-communist, Irving Kristol, whose son William is one of the foremost war hawks in the Republican Party. You can be an ex-communist, but once a “Nazi,” always a “Nazi.” The “neocons” steered the conservatives away from anti-communism, towards anti-”terrorism,” and unabashed loyalty to Israel. But the MAGA type right- wingers rarely call someone a “commie.” They, too, prefer to label their enemies as “Nazis.” As I’ve noted, no one calls themselves a “Nazi.” And apparently not even the real National Socialists in Germany did, either. It’s purely a pejorative term, like “jerk” or “idiot.” Does anyone call themselves a “jerk” or an “idiot?” And the word has lost all its meaning from its incredible overuse, much like “racist” has.

Hitler undeniably revived the devastated Germany economy. His impressive infrastructure upgrades, including the magnificent autobahn, is something we could well learn from. His first excursion into Poland could reasonably be looked at as an effort to retrieve former German territory stolen under the Versailles Treaty. Then you have to sift through propaganda. We know that after World War II, much of Europe was taken over by the communists that Hitler seemingly despised. That’s a good trivia question for you; who was the only world leader to directly engage the Soviet Union in battle? Hitler, of course, is the answer. The Iron Curtain fell, and America had 30-40 years of unparalleled economic prosperity. Nazis were largely forgotten as Boomers like me grew up in quiet, idyllic suburbs. Without the defense industry that was born in World War II, it is impossible to picture today’s U.S. economy.

I get tired of hearing the word “Nazi.” It’s so stupid to remain fixated on a political party that has been banned, and was destroyed eighty years ago. Call it Nazi Fatigue. Like Trump Derangement Syndrome, Nazi Derangement Syndrome is a very real malady. People don’t blink when you tell them about all those best and brightest liberals, from Woodrow Wilson to George Bernard Shaw, who were devout eugenicists. Eugenicists believe that the “wrong” people have to be eliminated. As enthusiastic evolutionists, they fervently believe in the survival of the fittest. Those who aren’t “fit” must be kept from breeding, at the very least. Margaret Sanger, founder of the elitist favorite Planned Parenthood, left some pretty chilling quotes on the subject. And yet it is Adolf Hitler who is solely credited with attempting to wipe out the weak and unfit. The non Aryans. If Hitler did everything he was accused of, shouldn’t the eugenicist Left have applauded? Isn’t this exactly what they desire?

If we accept the figures that the court historians give us, then Hitler pales in comparison to the Soviets and Mao. The priests and nuns in Russia sure seemed like they were targeted for their religion. Candace Owens has had the courage to point this out. We know that we are lied to about everything, but they tell us the greatest holocausts of the twentieth century were perpetrated by the Soviets and the Chinese. So where are all the movies about those millions of people who lost their lives because of their opposition to tyranny? There’s a new movie about the Nazis popping up every year. They Saved Hitler’s Brain. There was at least one film, probably more, about Nazi zombies being discovered decades later. Could anything be more ridiculous than Inglorious Basterds, fetish porn for those with Nazi Derangement Syndrome? Johnny Weissmuller was better at mispronouncing “NATsee” than Brad Pitt.

Conservative Matt Walsh is the latest victim of this nonstop quest to expose “Nazis.” Walsh retweeted the above photo, and it was claimed that there is a swastika entwined within the bodies of the girls. To his credit, Walsh refused to apologize or deny that he was a “Nazi.” Jimmy Carter created the Office of Special Investigations, and for a while the taxpayers were footing the bill for a witch hunt, where elderly persons like retired Cleveland autoworker John Demjanjuk, were prosecuted as “Nazi war criminals.” These were poor souls caught between the Soviets and Nazis in World War II occupied territory. The inconvenient truth is that forced to choose, they almost all sided with the Nazis. Fortunately, there is no one left to brand as a “war criminal.” I think the OSI still exists. If so, what can their possible function be? Elon Musk? There’s a nice place for DOGE to start eliminating worthless agencies.

Statists of all kinds, get more creative. It’s so lazy to just call someone a “Nazi.” I’ll probably be called a “Nazi” for writing this. Hitler isn’t my hero. I’ve never wanted to exterminate Jews or any other group of people. I feel guilty stepping on an ant. The Nazis were defeated and destroyed eighty years ago. Well, except for Wernher von Braun and some others who became great American patriots after the war. No one ever called them “Nazi.” I advocate a fifty year ban on any future movies or TV shows about the Nazis. I have Nazi Fatigue Syndrome. Let’s stop talking about long dead foreign bogeymen, and concentrate on the absolute Satanists who are trampling on our civil liberties and destroying this country. Hitler has long been irrelevant. But still millions become apoplectic when Elon Musk raises his right arm in a “Nazi” salute. It’s fatiguing. We know you have to name call. So come up with something else.
