On the 125th Birthday of Adolf Hitler

Published by carolyn on Fri, 2014-04-18 09:36

By Carolyn Yeager

The 125th anniversary of Hitler's birth on April 20th coincides with the publication of the “antisemitic” notebooks of German philosopher Martin Heidegger, arguably the most influential European philosopher of the 20th century (only Ludwig Wittgenstein rivals him for the title) according to this article.

There are other connections between the two. They were born in the same year, 1889. Heidegger joined Hitler's National-Socialist party, the NSDAP, in 1933 when Hitler became Chancellor and he remained a member until 1945. He served as rector of Freiburg University in Baden-Württemberg for one year, from 1933 to 1934. He praised the "inner truth and greatness" of National-Socialism during a lecture in 1935. Never once did Heidegger express a word of moral condemnation of the Nazis or the "Holocaust."

On the other hand, there is said to be no evidence that Heidegger accepted National-Socialist racial theories, but that doesn't absolve him because the notebooks contain passages denouncing "world Jewry," the distinctively Jewish "talent for calculation," and the "collusion of 'rootless' Jews in both international capitalism and communism."

Carolyn Yeager and Ray Goodwin read and comment on the Sept 22 to Sept. 25, 1941 dinner table monologues by the German Führer, as taken down by an adjutant and checked for accuracy by Martin Bormann. In this program:

  • The separate worlds of Europe and Asia are not marked by the Ural Mountains, but Asia penetrates into Europe without any sharp break;
  • Germany obtains the right to extend into the East by it’s awareness of what it represents – success justifies everything;
  • National-Socialism will never ape religion by establishing a form of worship;
  • The Russian soldier of the 1st World War was more good-natured than the cruel Bolshevik-led soldier of the current time;
  • The Four-Year Plan of 1936-40 with the aim of German self-sufficiency, not dependent on exports;
  • Russia as a source of raw materials for Germany and a consumer of simple German-made items such as cotton goods and household utensils.

Charles Krafft joins Carolyn as she explains from whence comes the idea that völkish/racial means the same thing as occultish/magical. Charles tells about the books and authors that have had a big influence in perpetuating the popular image of the “Supernatural Nazi.” Some highlights:

  • Adolf Hitler banned and suppressed esoteric organizations and individuals from having any connection to or influence on the NSDAP or his government from 1933-45;
  • The Thule Society emerged out of the Germanenorden (founded 1912), became a political organization in 1918, out of which Anton Drexler formed the German Worker’s Party (DAP) in 1919;
  • By Feb. 1920, Adolf Hitler had reconstituted the DAP into the NSDAP and severed all remaining links to the Thule Society;
  • An English fantasy novel “Vril, the Power of the Coming Race” was the source of the Vril idea, used by some, like Maria Orsic,  to engage in supposed communications with extraterrestrials;
  • Heinrich Himmler and two others established the Ahnenerbe institute within the SS to study “German Ancestral Heritage” through experiments and archaeological and cultural expeditions;
  • Since 1945, writers have produced a whole genre of “occult Nazi” books, comics and movies leading up to pornographic “stalags” featuring sadistic “Nazis” and their victims;
  • There has always been attraction to the fantastic and supernatural (and sexual!) and there always will be, but we should be aware it is also used to manipulate and fool us.

Ray Goodwin and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on the August 19 – Sept 21, 1941 dinner table monologues by the German Führer, as taken down by an adjutant and checked for accuracy by Martin Bormann. In this program:

  • Encouraging high level of births is more useful than preventing war – to kill a man before he is born is the worst;
  • The people of Europe should not be dependent upon England, but the Ukraine and Volga Basin will be the granaries for us;
  • Criminals and anarchists should be dealt with swiftly and harshly, not turned over to lawyers to get them light sentences;
  • The “spirit of decision” in deciding on Operation Barbarossa, and the quality of the German soldier as “best in the world”;
  • The industrious German nature compared to the indolent Slav nature is pointed out in several instances;
  • His dislike of the Habsburg monarchy and his gratitude to Social Democracy for sweeping all royalties away;
  • The duty of National-Socialism is to allow the best in the people to develop.

Carolyn Yeager and Ray Goodwin read and comment on the August 1st-10th, 1941 dinner table monologues by the German Führer, as taken down by an adjutant and checked for accuracy by Martin Bormann. Some highlights from the program:

  • Even though German functionaries are incorruptible, too much uniformity and fear of initiative is not a good thing;
  • Hitler's sympathetic attitude toward workers, and his dislike of the bourgeoisie  and the plutocracy;
  • Hydro-electric and gas works - the future will depend on water, wind and natural gas;
  • The British method of ruling their empire was not to try to Anglicize the people, but to leave them to live according to their own ways;
  • Hitler sees the combined forces of Germany, England, the Nordic countries and Italy as greater than the USA.

Can one proclaim to be a National-Socialist and at the same time look to Russian President Vladimir Putin as the “new leader” that Whites can rally around? Carolyn doesn’t think so and says why, plus Bob from DC  calls in the 2nd hour with additional information and opinions. Some highlights:

  • How racially-minded is Putin – How much communist egalitarianism has stuck with him;
  • Can any Slavic nationalist ever deny the Holocaust, or even revise it, like non-Slavic Eastern nationalists, such as Hungary, do;
  • Michael Colhaze favors the Christian Slavs over the atheist West, even though bureaucratic corruption is a fact of life;
  • Putin’s father was a communist party true-believer and Putin joined the KGB directly upon university graduation;
  • Alexander Dugin, sometime advisor to Putin, heads a Eurasian Alliance that wants to assure the cultural diversity of all the peoples of the world;
  • Nat-Socialism’s “race eugenics” (sterilization law) was begun in 1933 to purify the German race from habitual criminal, feeble-minded and insane hereditary factors;
  • The U.S., Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland also had sterilization laws, while Hungary, UK, Switzerland, Poland, Japan, Latvia and Estonia were considering it.

March 17, 2014

A program featuring two anniversaries and three “enemies inside the gate. We must keep reminding ourselves and others that those who call themselves “the good guys” are just the opposite, and who the good guys really are. Some highlights:

  • New York St. Patrick’s Day Parade organizers forbade the display of LGBT signs and displays, causing the new Mayor Blasio to boycott the parade — ditto the Guinness and other beer companies;
  • The real joy of the Austrian-Germans to join the German Reich is still denied and lied about today, in order to uphold the false WWII/evil “Nazis” narrative;
  • Adolf Hitler’s speech on March 15, 1938 at Vienna’s Heldenplatz to 200,000 rapt listeners declared that bringing the oldest eastern province back into the Reich was his “greatest accomplishment”;
  • Dietrich Bonhoeffer, young ecumenical pastor of the “Confessing Church” which opposed the National-Socialist attempt to create a National German Christian Church,  was an early opponent of the Hitler regime who ended up a full traitor with the German “Resistance”;
  • Pastor Martin Niemoeller, author of “First they came for the communists” and one of the founders of the Confessing Church,  first supported the National-Socialists, then decided he opposed the “Aryan Paragraph” which had existed since 1885;
  • Edward Miliband, 45-year old son of Polish Jewish parents who emigrated to Britain in 1940 and 1947, is now an MP for Doncaster North and head of the Labour Party;
  • Carolyn reads a column written by him in 2012 that reveals how Miliband manages to tell both the British and the British Jews what he wants each of them to hear.

Carolyn Yeager and Ray Goodwin read and comment on the Sat. July 5th through July 15th, 1941 dinner table monologues by the German Fuehrer, as taken down by an adjutant and checked for accuracy by Martin Bormann. 59m. Some highlights from the program:

  • Russians do not naturally incline toward a Western, Aryan type of organized state;
  • Expansion into the East will create new tourist destinations reachable by autobahn;
  • Moscow must disappear and Bolshevisim be exterminated;
  • The dominion of natural law, no education in atheism, Christianity less tolerant than the ancient world;
  • Moral law governs the actions of Germans, making them uniquely capable of a revolution in religion;
  • Racial migrations, and “way of eating” a typically racial characteristic;
  • Stalin an extraordinary figure in history.

Carolyn Yeager and Ray Goodwin  use their first program to introduce listeners  to some background information on this collection of what are basically after-lunch-or-supper monologues by Adolf Hitler in the company of his intimate circle. 52m




  • How trustworthy is this text, since Martin Bormann assigned two of his aides to take the notes during meals, then turn them over to him for checking and safekeeping;
  • Why it is valuable to study this book;
  • Questions about the translation and translators – for example, did Francois Genoud tamper with the parts about Christianity;
  • Of those offended by this book, Christians are #1 on the list, complaining that it does not agree with Hitler’s “public record” of positive remarks about Christianity in earlier years;
  • David Irving and Albert Speer both confirmed that these recorded talks are authentically Hitler; Richard Carrier disagrees;
  • Next week we’ll begin reading the text.
