Mein Trumpf: Are You Voting For The Right Fuhrer?

It is always a pleasure to meet listeners of the show while I am riding on the train to my office. It passes the time to discuss some of the topics on my shows. Today, I again met a listener who said he really appreciated the show. He loved the fact that in his opinion, we strike a balance between what can be called paranormal and the conspiracy theories that remain in the margins of the parapolitical climate in the world.

He was especially happy that I have been objective about the candidates because he was of the opinion that no matter who we vote for, the way is being paved for what he calls an Anti-Christ or at least another Hitler.

I asked him to expand on his Hitler comment and he explained that he believed the breakdown of our society has created the same kind of political climate in the United States as we are hearing about in Europe. He was saying that old fashioned nationalist mobs are forming in Europe and many of them espouse views that he said reminds him of the philosophies Hitler had.

He then pointed out to me that Mein Kampf, the book that Hitler wrote in prison, seems to have made a comeback in Europe and he continued that he wouldn’t be surprised if the book was also having renaissance in the United States.

I then told him that the Hitlerian accusations were made against George W. Bush at one time, and that now Obama has been called anything from a disloyal Muslim, to Hitler and he has been called the Anti-Christ.

He then told me that these accusations were all political sour grapes between the parties – if you are a liberal, Bush is Hitler; if you are conservative Obama is the Anti-Christ. He then had to get off the train and as he left, he said “The truth is out there” and I said to him – yes it may be out there but it most certainly is a casualty.

I have had these discussions before with listeners, and I have received e-mails bringing up Hitler and Anti-Christ allegations against Obama.

I write back and tell them that I have gone on the record saying that my choice for the Anti-Christ is not anyone in the United States, but for some reason the conversation on the train really hit me in a different way because I read earlier what Republican war monger, Lindsay Graham tweeted about the Republican Party.

After last night’s screaming match disguised as a political debate in Houston last night, Graham appeared at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner and said “My party has gone batshit crazy.”

He also said “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, no one would convict you.” Graham of course, is a failed presidential candidate; however, that did not stop him from insulting the candidates of his own party. He also said “A good Republican would defend Ted Cruz after tonight. That ain’t happening.” He then put on a “Make America Great again” cap and sarcastically endorsed Trump. This after Graham once stated that picking between Trump and Cruz was like having to choose “death by being shot or poisoning,” and he said the party would be better off if it picked “somebody out of the phone book.”

Like all politicians, I detest more than others – Graham is one of those I can’t stand. But in this case, I am thinking he is right about choosing someone out of the phone book.

I am now very worried about the social climate in America and how we are seeing attitudes of victimhood, isolation, exclusion, confusion and helplessness. There is a sense of tension as the American people feel as if they can do nothing to fight a malignant force that they cannot define and that they are helpless to make changes or influence anyone to cut them a break.

We are seeing the Republic collapsing, and history shows us that when Germany’s republic collapsed, they saw a political savior in Adolf Hitler.

The fear of electing a new Hitler has already shown up in newspapers across the country and of course the new Hitler, according to some media outlets, is Donald Trump.

The Philadelphia Daily News likened him to Adolf Hitler on their front page with the headline “The New Furor”. A spokesperson for the Council on America-Islamic Relations compared Trump’s words to Nazi rhetoric from the 1930s, saying that he “sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours.”

I always find it laughable that many Americans feel that we have a superior moral instinct when it comes to electing our political leaders. I believe that there is little reason to think that we are ethically superior to the Europeans of the 1930s and 1940s, or for that matter less vulnerable to the kind of ideas that Hitler so successfully promulgated and realized.

Saying that the main objective of the elite is to ensure a globalist empire is great for conspiracy theory discussions, and it creates debate about the real intentions of our leaders – but it seems to all go out the window as the news cycle somehow convinces us that the choices we have for President are enough and that the push button issues and talking points serve us any kind of knowledge.

The truth is, there is a famine of solid knowledge at any of these political gatherings and those who watch are now being entertained instead of being informed. This type of political atmosphere creates more of an emotional bias to any one candidate instead of an informed bias.

The presidential horse race has sucked up most of the oxygen in the political zeitgeist. It is now contest of personalities. However, they are personalities that are manufactured and if we dig deep, Trump isn’t the only one that could wear the name tag of the new Hitler and this is why we need to hope that we don’t vote in the wrong Fuhrer.

Once again, we must first get out of the way the ideas that the political parties are different. The United States does not have the traditional political party divide of Republican, Democrat, Conservative, or Liberal anymore. It is especially evident as the issue of the U.N. Sustainable development proposals have conveniently been left out of the discussion and the conspiracy of the 2030 Summit is designed for a state socialist agenda.

Mix all of this with some of the nationalism being spouted by Bernie Sanders, Trump and Cruz and we have the ingredients for some old fashioned technocracy fueled in the fire of despotism.

Hillary Clinton is a walking mess that many believe is a criminal and would most certainly fit the bill as a candidate with a built in Hitlerian history. Many believe the new Clinton administration would make Obama’s administration look more patriotic.

With all of her scandals and her involvement with Benghazi, there are those who believe that her first act as president would be trying to take off her handcuffs while awaiting a trial for crimes against the United States.

A long time ago I presumed that Hillary would have been the heir to the Democrat throne much like Jeb Bush would be for the GOP. Bush was humiliated by Trump and sidelined, and Mrs. Clinton may well be in danger of sharing his fate.

Now it seems that the candidates we care about are more frightening than the majority of the mesmerized think.

All of them including Bernie Sanders, are all in favor of our continued relentless aggression abroad. He supported the invasion into Afghanistan, and has been very vague about his foreign policy and the idea of using force in matters of national security.

The avoidance of the discussion of his stance on war and the idea of defending the country to me is very suspicious.

In an interview with ABC News he said; “I believe that the United States should have the strongest military in the world. We should be working with other countries in coalition. And when people threaten the United States or threaten our allies or commit genocide, the United States with other countries should be prepared to act militarily.”

Trump has basically said the same thing as he has committed to the idea of creating an army so huge and powerful that it will be feared by other countries.

Now it seems that wars tests the integrity of a sitting President and it is during war we start to see how a leader goes from being a respectable leader, to a murderous tyrant. No president can pass up the opportunity to cut his or her teeth on a little bloodletting.

This is why I am highly suspicious of Ted Cruz and alleged Christian approach to gaining the presidency and possibly turning the country into a dominionist cult.

Trump says he wants to make America great again, but Cruz says that he is planning on “taking back” or “reclaiming” the United States. When Cruz says he wants to “reclaim” or “restore” America, he does not only want to correct the wrongs of the Obama administration.

His agenda takes him much deeper into the American past. Cruz wants to “restore” the United States to what he believes is its original identity: a Christian nation.

Staunch evangelical Christians applaud this idea, but the idea of doing so through militant messianic apotheosis should once again set off our Hitler alarm.

Throughout history, politicians have used religious language to win elections. Hitler was good at it. In a speech given in 1937, Hitler sounded equally idealistic and he challenged people to love their neighbors, to care for the poor and sick, and to take a stand against violence.

“In this hour I would ask of the Lord God only this: that He would give His blessing to our work and that He may ever give us the courage to do the right. I am convinced that men who are created by God should live in accordance with the will of the Almighty. No man can fashion world history unless upon his purpose and his powers there rests the blessings of this Providence.”

Sounds like a great God loving leader, doesn’t it?

I have a hard time trusting anyone that brings God into Caesar’s arena. Being humble and having a respect for religion and God is a moral and remarkable trait. However, it seems history has shown that anyone who uses religion to gain political favor winds up being a scoundrel.

In our lives, we have been programmed to believe there are certain things that you do not question. Social engineering has coerced us into respecting and deifying politics, religion, and science. It all has the danger of becoming an apotheosis; meaning, a model of excellence or divine perfection almost to the point of Godhood.

This is why the thought of a leader using God in Caesar’s arena is a dangerous methodology, because if we give any leader a title of divine, or Godly, or even messianic, we run the risk of becoming an imperial cult, a monarchy or government like the Roman Empire.

We witnessed the media driven Apotheosis of Barack Obama where a man who was already quite enamored with himself was elevated to Godhood and messianic stature. Obama never discouraged this Apotheosis – he relished in it. He created an entire enterprise based on hope, change and messianic charisma.

During his campaign, he was pitched as the deliverer, prophet, and pipeline to divine intervention.

Four years ago in a sermon at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz’ father, Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the “Seven Mountains” mandate, and “bring the spoils of war to the priests”, thus helping to bring about a prophesied “great transfer of wealth”, from the “wicked” to righteous gentile believers.

In 1988, Ted Cruz, as a high school senior at the Second Baptist School in Houston, Texas, made a video announcing his goals in life and his future aspirations. He joked about aspiration and wondering if it was “sweat in his butt.” Then he said that he wanted to be in a “Teen Bikini Beach Tit Film” which of course was his attempt at levity, later in the film he says that he wanted to “take over the world, world domination– you know, rule everything, rich, powerful that sort of stuff.”

Of course, when we are young we say a lot of things that we regret later, just like Donald Trump when he made disparaging remarks about women on the Howard Stern Show.

Just having Cruz in the debates has opened up channels for discussion about the faith and religious convictions of the other candidates. He speaks openly about how he will be the protector of religious freedom.

Of course, religious freedom to him is to make sure that Christians continue to hold cultural authority in this country.

Cruz’s approach to politics is inseparable from this theology. His goal is to lead a Christian occupation of the culture, because he like many dominionists believe the second coming of Jesus is about to take place.

What is even more ironic is this type of religious thought was actually a stumbling block for Mitt Romney as the so-called “Mormon Whitehorse Prophecy,” a prophecy predicting the Constitution of the United States will one day “hang like a thread” and will be saved “by the efforts of a Mormon elder — or the elders of Zion.”

Does anyone fear the ones who say or think that God has chosen them to lead and take back our country?

Usually we associate the fanatically religious leaders with the Middle East, not the United States.

Hitler also wrote in Mein Kampf a number of thoughts about his work was anointed by God. It says on page 65 of his book:

“I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.

In a 1933 speech given in Berlin, Hitler said, “The National Government will regard it as it’s first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.”

If words and actions are any indication it appears that all of our candidates both Republican and democrat have the potential of becoming another Hitler. Arguably, there are some more than others who carry these traits. They seem to be the ones that everyone is paying attention to.

The others like Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, and John Kasich, are simply cowering in the corner. They now have realized what they are in the middle of. Ben Carson is now realizing that what he has been saying for years is happening.

He stated last year during a campaign stop that there is already a Hitler in our midst ready to take power.

He said, “If you go back and look at the history of the world, tyranny and despotism and how it starts, it has a lot to do with control of thought and control of speech. If people don’t speak up for what they believe, then other people will change things without them having a voice. Hitler changed things there and nobody protested. Nobody provided any opposition to him.”

The left immediately seized the opportunity to say that Carson was referring to Obama, but now you can see that perhaps he was speaking broadly about his running mates.

For Carson, these questions remain: Has the U.S. learned anything from history? Is another Hitler just waiting around the corner?

If so, you better be sure to vote for the right Fuhrer.

And most certainly, they will bow out eventually.
