Prominent antisemitic conservative Candace Owens has ignited a storm of controversy with new remarks about World War II and the Holocaust, in which she essentially defended Adolf Hitler and infamous Auschwitz mangler Joseph Mengele.
In a YouTube episode titled, “Literally Hitler. Why Can’t We Talk About Him?”, Owens downplayed the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany while criticizing the Allies’ actions post-war. She questioned the taboo surrounding discussions about Hitler, saying, “We have been indoctrinated and we actually know nothing about the person other than the fact that we must fear him.”
Owens suggested that education about Nazi Germany is a form of indoctrination, comparing it to “Soviet tactics of introducing really heavy concepts to kids while their brains are developing because you want to traumatize them.” She claimed this was done to ensure compliance with a narrative portraying Hitler as “the greatest evil that’s ever happened on earth, even though factually and statistically it is not. Why is he the most evil?”
Owens made further controversial assertions regarding the Allies’ actions after World War II, alleging they “ethnically cleansed 12 million Germans… in the exact same [concentration] camps that we then transferred the Germans into so that we could mass kill them.” She described the Holocaust as “an ethnic cleansing [that] almost took place,” while asserting that the Allies “actually did [an ethnic cleansing].”
Owens also cast doubt on the well-documented medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, describing them as sounding like “bizarre propaganda.” She said, “The idea that they just cut a human up and then sewed them back together. Why would you do that? Even if you’re the most evil person in the world, that’s a tremendous waste of time and supplies.”
Owens drew comparisons between Nazi scientists and US institutions, mentioning the CIA and Planned Parenthood. She said, “We took all of those top Nazi scientists and we brought them to America. I wonder why we did that. Maybe for a little more experimentation. Have you ever heard of the CIA? If you think experimentation is unique to the Nazis, you need to wake up. You heard of Planned Parenthood? They literally tell you to abort your children if they have special needs.”
We brought rocket scientists over. I don't remember anything about bringing medical scientists.
Correct. What has happened to Candace? Has she lost her mind?
I thought she was a good person...........
BTW, This was my 20,000 thread...................
The cheese has done slid off her cracker.
Uh, because you end up ruining your career.
Operation paperclip
It was pretty extensive.
There were probably a lot more that were snuck in in other programs or methods too.
I think the rationale was that the Russians would get them if we don’t.
There were also a lot of German POWs that were brought to the States (believe it or not) rather than enamped in Europe, and there were programs to use many of them for labor, particularly if they had specific skills. When I heard about that, I wondered how many of them were given paths to stay after the war, or would have elected to.
Apparently!..................
While she makes some good points at times, I’ve never understood what qualifications - education, life experience, work, etc - Candace Owens has that should make me care what her opinion on anything is.
If it’s because she’s a black female, then just no. I don’t play that identity politics game.
Merit only need apply.
Do you have any names of ones that were specifically medical?
She’s been a great disappointment; and it’s been going on a while now.
Maybe a little fame went to her head.
Bat scat crazy.
Correct. It was a race between the US and USSR to see who got the rocket scientists from Germany . We won with Werner vonBraun et al. The Nazi doctors, who have been written about and documented extensively, were deranged maniacs. Owens is way off the mark. Sad to see.
No knock on her, BTW. There are plenty of them out there, and she’s far from the worst of them.
Candace, I suggest you take a trip to Germany, and visit Dachau. I’ve been there twice. Seeing is believing. The sense of evil is pervasive there.
Do you have any names of ones that were specifically medical?

The point is that our government on the sly durring WWII and also during the cold war.
But no, I do not specifically believe that we were doing Mengela type experiments in the US using German doctors or their research.
The plot device of the movie Shutter Island (at least the protagonist’s delusions) was that the Island facility was there specifically to do nazi inspired medical experiments on Americans. But that’s a trivia tidbit. I am in no way saying that it is anything but fiction.
Elizabeth an Phillip slipped up on her and slipped some kinda pill into her drink or sumtin’.
Otherwise, she went just plain ol’ nuts.
What happened to her? Hormones went to her head? Does her husband think like her?
Has she not seen the Holocaust photos?
Congratulations on all the threads.
What happened to Candace? I always liked her.
I am just saying, We’ve known about von Braun etc. for a while, and that is open to criticism, but as far as I know, we never accepted the Menegele-type stuff.
Yes, maybe someone needs to have a talk with her,
