The "Perfect Aryan" Child Used in Nazi Propaganda was Actually Jewish
Washington Post ^ | July 7, 2014 | Terrence McCoy

Posted on 10/27/2014 9:44:25 PM PDT by Seeing More Clearly Now

A photo of a baby that adorned a Nazi magazine for a contest to find the “perfect” Aryan baby is revealed to be a Jewish girl.The newlyweds came to Berlin as students, a pair of Latvian Jews who wanted to make it big in singing. In 1934, just after Adolf Hitler took control of Germany, the young Jewish woman became pregnant with a child who would soon become known as the “perfect Aryan.”

The photo was everywhere. It first adorned a Nazi magazine that held a beauty contest to find “the perfect Aryan” and then was later splashed across postcards and storefronts.

As remarkable as that revelation is, more remarkable is the story that accompanies it.

She didn’t look Aryan. Neither did Hitler.

Babies pretty much all look alike. Except for obvious differences such as white or black, of course.

I saw a documentary about the Aryan Brotherhood the other night. One of the original founders is Jewish, has a star of David tattooed next to a Swastika. It seems they didn’t care if someone’s Jewish, as long as they’re white.

Note that Obama is not African American in any traditional sense. Blacks voted for him because they wanted slave reparations -- but Obama is descended from salve sellers, not from people who picked cotton in Georgia.

But he looks the part, so it's all good ...

Since this isn’t news, its revival probably means we’re about to see Israel equated with Nazi Germany — again.

Officialy Obama is

50% Caucasian non-Hispanic,
37.5% Berber Arab, and
12.5% Sub-Saharan African.

He is also 100% the enemy of America.

Officially. Depends on who his daddy was. That is not so clear as he would have it.

“The base” bought a hoopty lemon because they liked the color and the radio worked well.

If his daddy was that communist pedophile Davis, he’s actually more “African American” than the official record.
