Hitler's Green Killing Machine

The shocking climax of the infamous 1940 Nazi documentary film entitled “The Eternal Jew” stunningly reveals a strong green rationalization based on animal rights for the looming destruction of the Jews. According to Nazi ideology, the so-called “eternal Jew” is the transcendent Jew who tries to live above Nature through economics and capitalism in the west, or through politics and communism in the east.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler specifically called this process the pacification of Nature. According to Hitler, the Jews try to pacify or tame Nature through international commerce and capitalism on the one hand, or by stressing universal political values like communistic equality on the other hand, both of which rebel against the stern rigid laws of Nature which cannot be overcome. German zoologist Ernst Haeckel, the racist Darwinist who coined the term ‘ecology’ in 1866, posited that the Jewish transcendent view of man over nature made them resistant to evolutionary biological change, and hence the Jews had become a lesser race. While Hitler eschewed some of Haeckel’s political views, he heartily agreed with this particular belief.

Dear Spok,

Here is an excerpt from my book entitled “Nazi Oaks” concerning Albert Speer (quotes from Inside the Third Reich)and his love for nature that you might be interested in:

With great interest is that Speer noted in his memoirs that his particular generation, including himself, had a strong and distinctive attraction to nature. They sought a close “contact with nature.” That this would be the same generation which also foolishly accepted Adolf Hitler as their political leader is highly instructive. These wandering free spirits were essentially trying to escape the responsibilities of the modern world, and found themselves at the footstool of the Fuhrer.

The modern world built on the bustle of the city was a world which Speer’s naturist generation really did not understand, either politically or economically, nor
even wanted. Their love affair with nature “was not merely a romantic protest against the narrowness of middle-class life. We were also escaping from the demands of a
world growing increasingly complicated.” It was in fact a world which they disdained, full of varied responsibilities and demands of them which they would rather not do. It was a world which they believed could be overcome through
mountain climbing, “often, from the mountain tops, we looked down upon a gray layer of cloud over the distant plain. Down there lived what to our minds were
wretched people; we thought we stood high above them in every sense.” After spending many years in prison, Speer later acknowledged he and his comrades were “young and arrogant, we were convinced that only the finest people went into the mountains. When we returned to the normal life of the lowlands, I was quite confused for a while by the bustle of the cities.” They measured and compared themselves with others on the basis of how closely
they related to nature. In a word, generally speaking, Speer’s generation had little appreciation for the difficult realities of what it really meant to live in the modern world. They were looking for purity, simplicity and peace without the modern stress of working and making a living, which was especially difficult in the trying times of the Weimar Republic, “we felt that the world around us was out of balance. In nature,in the mountains and river valleys, the harmony of Creation could still be felt.”

Dear Coredneck,

History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. “Evolution” repackages older ideas with new wrappings and bow strings that is nuanced enough so that many are unfortunately deceived by some of the newer applications to previous doctrines. Modern Environmentalism has shed its racism of course and adopted a strong international message, but many are slow to realize that racism is only one form of anti-humanism.
