Candace Owens Defends Hitler. Really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfStkMY4ZII Ayn Rand Centre UK. July 12, 2024.

AG @AGHamilton29 If you want to see just how insane and dishonest Candace Owens’ conspiracies are, just watch this 2.5 minute clip. There are 4 separate insane false conspiracies in that period.
Someone without a deep knowledge of events will watch this and think maybe she’s revealing some unknown history, when she’s really just connecting Wikipedia dots to promote some insane conspiratorial and antisemitic view of the world.
Thing is that the conspiracy she is repeating is one that has been around Neo Nazi circles for awhile which is 1) Where she gets all her stuff nowadays and 2) why it’s easy to debunk if you know it.
What is true:
- In 1904, Herzl asked the Pope to support a Jewish homeland in Israel. The Pope rejected it.
What is made up:
- There was no secret plot to get Protestants to support Zionism
- No evidence Zionists funded the Scofield Bible to get Protestants to back Zionism. The top funder for the Bible was Alwyn Ball Jr, a Christian real estate developer.
- Owens presents Scofield as some random poor pastor, but he was previously the US DA for Kansas, served in the Kansas State House and had plenty of political connections.
- The Lotos Club was not a Jewish club. It was a club of writers/artists/lawyers. In fact, almost none of the early officers of the club were Jewish.
- Owens claims Free Masons introduced Scofield to Samuel Untermyer who then got him into the Lotos Club. There is no evidence they even knew each other until after Scofield joined the Lotos club. SU was on the membership board of the literally committee and may have voted for Scofield’s entry, but that’s it.
- Owens mentions that Scofield was in Switzerland at the same time as the Zionist Congress. The Zionist Congress met in a completely different city every 2 years. This is to make you think there is a connection, but the Zionist Congress met in Basel Switzerland in 1905. Scofield was reportedly working on the Bible in Montreux Switzerland in 1904. Wrong year and wrong city.
- The Oxford Press agreed to publish the Scofield bible after Scofield met with the head of the Oxford Bible publishing house. None of the people involved, named below, were Jewish despite Owens framing it as a Jewish conspiracy.
- Owens claims Scofield had no professional background and just did it in a couple years. He actually started working on his reference bible in 1901. He was an accomplished lawyer and author before then.
I don’t expect any regular person to know or dig up any of this, which is what makes Owens so dangerous. She is repeating Neo-Nazi conspiracies that have been concocted over years based on random threads and someone just listening to this stuff may think there is something to it.

Quote AG @AGHamilton29 · Aug 15 Replying to @stokevm Good luck following this one. It’s 4 different insane and invented conspiracies in a period of 2 minutes. Aug 15, 2024 https://x.com/AGHamilton29/status/1824249203331138012
What clip, that is a more than one hour video.
She’s more than jumped the shark.
I didn’t see a defense of Hitler.
I always thought she is dumb but now she is evil too.
A shame about Owens - she seemed like a very smart lady who could really become a star as a conservative. But instead she’s gone off the deep end. Conspiracy theories are so much more fun than boring old reality, and some people just can’t resist.
Given the extent of lies we’ve been told, all accounts of history should be re-examined.
If you trust your own judgment, there’s nothing to fear.
Are you saying you like Hitler too?
direct quotes are preferable to another’s interpretation
Lindsey Graham and Candace Owens figured in my blog post this weekend and both are highly dangerous trolls undermining Trump IMHO...

Agreed!
Sounds like it.
But how did your mind trick you into thinking that?
If you don’t trust your own judgment, then let’s talk about how you can work on it.
Or you can simply re-read my first post.
I used to think highly of her and just because she was so beautiful. She seemed to have a truly conservative message. But lately she has gone so far off the deep end that I have wonder if someone zapped her brain.
She seemed to talk a lot about Taylor Swift or other junk pop culture dreck a lot.
That’s not good.
It’s a sign of not thinking right.
Liberals should embrace Hitler as a hero. After all, he accomplished extensive urban redevelopment in places like Warsaw, Rotterdam, Coventry and London. He was also successful population manager, and in reducing the global population by about 100 million between 1939 and 1945, he significantly reduced the world’s carbon footprint.
