Or

The skinny intellectual v. the blond beast

It is amazing how my knowledge of the origins of Christianity, and its bastard son ‘Neo-Christianity’—liberalism—, has changed my worldview thanks to Tom Holland’s Dominion and those books listed in the footnote to this post. So much so that I would like to take issue with what Eduardo Velasco, one of the intellectual heroes of this site, had to say about National Socialism before Blogger took down his site Evropa Soberana. In this post I rescued, Velasco quoted those passages from Mein Kampf in which Hitler said that the racial state’s aim is to train physically healthy men. Only after all this comes scientific instruction.

Hitler added that the racial state must start from the point of view that a man of modest education, but of sound body and firm character, full of will and a spirit of action, is of more value to Völkisch nationalism than a weak super-intellectual. Velasco, the admirer of Sparta, goes on to comment: ‘The NSDAP intended to organise German demography as if it were a farm—indeed, two of Germany’s leading racial ideologues, Heinrich Himmler and Walter Darré, had farming backgrounds’.

But there is a serious problem here. Now that I have finished uploading the most important PDF books to the featured post, I would like to quote my thoughts at the end of the last one I have put together: the second volume of our abridgement of Deschner’s book.

When a decade ago I read Hitler’s after-dinner talks in an edition of Ostara Publications, historian Arthur Kemp’s publishing house, the Führer’s laudatory comments on Charlemagne (Appendix I of this PDF) surprised me. It is true that in 1935 Himmler’s SS created a stone monument in memory of the Saxon victims murdered by Charlemagne and his henchmen. But if Hitler had become truly wise, instead of risking his newly created Reich in a foolish adventure against the Soviet Union, he would have devoted all his efforts to founding a New Germania which would have been the cultural centre for exposing Christianity and its bastard son, neo-Christianity (which I now try to do in The West’s Darkest Hour without the Reich’s formidable resources). Gradually, the Third Reich could have become the intellectual lighthouse that, by now, would have illuminated Europe after the Dark Middle Ages—and the Dark Modern Ages! (cf. the book Dominion excerpted in Neo-Christianity).

By putting all the emphasis on the Jewish Question and not on the Christian Question, and by launching a premature war (lack of atomic bombs) against the Soviet Union, Hitler’s Reich put the cart before the horse.

Both National Socialists (NS) and today’s white nationalists ignore that it is impossible to solve the Jewish problem if we don’t first understand that it is precisely Christians—think of the fanatically philo-Semitic Americans—, and atheistic neo-Christians, who have empowered Jewry, blacks, immigrant Muslims in Europe, so-called liberated women, so-called gays, transgender men, etc.

Despite his genius, Hitler never had the opportunity to read scholarly books about Charlemagne’s crimes that had not been written, such as the one eventually written decades after the very young Karlheinz was wearing his NS uniform. If Hitler, Rosenberg and others at the top of the NS intelligentsia had known what we now know, that Jesus didn’t even exist and that the entire New Testament was written by Jews,[1] they wouldn’t have fantasised about an Aryan Jesus and perhaps would have focused all their efforts on refuting Christianity, and its secular offshoots, in a Germania that could well be depicted in the image below, Oldtown.

In other words: Hitler’s Weltanschauung was perfectible but certainly not perfect. It was necessary, imperative I dare say, for NS intellectuals to see what Deschner would eventually discover about the real history of Christianity; what someone like Holland would discover about the history of Neo-Christianity, and how the Jews invented the stories of the four Gospels after the year 70 c.e. and the destruction of their Jerusalem Temple.

The slim Deschner in NS uniform was more important than the blond beast of Himmler’s farms. Hitler ignored this and wanted to win by brute force, with the results we know: after the catastrophe of 1945 the Germans betrayed themselves by internalising the narrative imposed on them by the American Diktat.

[1] The books that would hit the nail on the head on this issue were published about seven decades or more after the death of NS Germany: On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt by Richard Carrier (2014), Resurrection and Reception in Early Christianity by Richard C. Miller (2015), and The Jesus Hoax: How St. Paul’s Cabal Fooled the World for Two Thousand Years by David Skrbina (2019). Carrier’s and Miller’s books are for scholars, Skrbina’s is an essay.
