The Nazi Background of Saddam Hussein

Posted on 02/17/2003 9:32:44 AM PST by silver_patriot2000

By Chuck Morse ChuckMorse.com | February 17, 2003

Kharaillah Tulfah, Saddam Hussein's uncle and future father-in-law, along with Gen. Rashid Ali and the so-called "golden square" cabal of pro-Nazi officers, participated in a failed coup against the pro-British government of Iraq in 1941. Operating behind the scenes in Baghdad at the time, and arranging for Nazi weapons and assistance was the notorious pro-Nazi Haj Amin al-Husseini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. The Mufti had been on the Nazi payroll, according to testimony at the Nuremberg and Eichmann trials, since 1937 when he had met with Adolf Eichmann during Eichmann's brief visit to Palestine. Saddam Hussein was born in 1937.

The Mufti, after instigating a pogrom against Jews in Palestine in 1920, the first such pogrom against Jews in the Arab world in hundreds of years, went on to inspire the development of pro-Nazi parties throughout the Arab world including Young Egypt, led by Gamal Abdul Nasser, and the Social Nationalist Party of Syria led by Anton Sa'ada. After the failure of the 1941 pro-Nazi coup in Iraq, the Mufti fled to Berlin where he spent the war years heading a Nazi-Muslim government in exile and using confiscated Jewish funds in a largely successful effort to further pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic propaganda in the Arab world. While in Berlin, the Mufti also helped form pro-Nazi Muslim Hanschar brigades in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia.

Kharaillah Tulfah, participant in the 1941 pro-Nazi coup and an advocate of a pan-Islamic Nazi alliance along with the Mufti, raised and educated his nephew Saddam Hussein from age 10. In 1959, the 22-year-old Saddam failed in an attempt to assassinate Iraqi leader Abdel Karim Qassim. He subsequently fled to Egypt where he received refuge from fellow Mufti disciple Nasser. At the time, Nasser, along with the Mufti himself, who resided in Cairo after the war and his conviction by the Nuremberg Tribunal of war crimes, was spearheading what was known as the Odessa Network, which facilitated the settlement of thousands of Nazi criminals in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world. In 1962, Saddam married Sajidah Tuffah, the daughter of his uncle and mentor.

Saddam triumphantly returned to Baghdad in 1963 after a successful coup by the Ba'ath Party against Qassim where he assumed control of State Security. The Ba'ath seizure of power in Iraq was followed by firing squads and murder of political opponents reminiscent of Castro's seizure of Cuba. Saddam was chief interrogator and torturer at the infamous Palace of the End set up as a torture chamber under the auspices of State Security.

Saddam became absolute ruler in 1979 after assassinating over 20 leaders of his own party. He immediately proceeded to implement the Nazi vision of his uncle and the Mufti. In Iraq, Saddam annihilated of his opponents and, using his absolute power, developed a personality-cult around himself reminiscent of the Nazi Furherprincip. Like the Nazis, who sought to implement a new social order based on socialist and nationalist principles, Saddam has sought to develop a united Arab order under his personal control. Imitating the example of Hitler, Saddam set up concentration camps and began to carry out a planned program of genocide against the Kurds.

Saddam, in control of weapons of mass destruction, is today's chief disciple of the infamous Grand Mufti, the Nazi war criminal. Like the Mufti, he will stop at nothing in his quest to annihilate the Jews and defeat the western democracies. His regime is the Nazi principle manifested today in all its horror and inherent evil and like the Nazi's before him, he must be utterly crushed if there is to be any peace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Morse is a radio talk show host at WROL in Boston.

David Brooks imtimates similarities between Baath and Nazi Parties...

The Baathist ideology requires continual conflict and bloodshed. Saddam likes to call himself The Struggler (see Mein Kampf {"My Struggle"}), and his rule has been marked by incessant strife. He led his nation through a bloody eight-year war with Iran that produced World War I level casualties, a ruthless campaign of genocide against the Kurds, the invasion of neighboring Kuwait, a war with the United States and the rest of the world, civil wars in the north and south of his country, and now another potential war with the United States and its allies over weapons of mass destruction. There has been no respite. The Baathist ideology commands that there be no respite. The Baathist ideology allows no remorse over the mass murder of those who belong to racially inferior groups. Once a dictator assumes the Aflaqite belief in the superiority of the Arab race, it is practically inevitable that he will find his arena for genocide, he will find his Kurds. Moreover, his theory of history will pardon him if he sets out to commit mass murder against lower races, such as Americans. The Baathist ideology demands a revolution in world affairs. The United States and its democracy must be humiliated and brought low so that the dominance of the Arab nation can achieve its final and fitting triumph, and so realize God's plan for the earth.

I'm glad this information is beginning to get out. In my opinion, it's something that we should all try to publicize. Leave no hiding place for Saddam's supporters, especially the American fifth column.

The human-secularists/socialists are the chief enemy of Islam in the US, after the Jews, but they haven't realized it yet.

It needs to be recalled, also, that the anti-war, "America First" crowd also tended to greatly admire Hitler and the Nazi program. There is a reason why we have not seen mass demonstrations against Saddam, his WMDs, and his non-cooperation with inspectors.

Even if this were fact, and I have no reason to doubt it, leftists consider this totally irrelevant. Saddam Hussein could be proven, by DNA, to be Hitler's b*st*rd son, read "Mein Kampf" over loudspeakers in Baghdad between Muslim prayers and still the French/German/English/American, "Western Left", would pay this no heed.

Unfortunately, the West will need to suffer another 11 Sept. before this danger is finally recognized. Even then, it will be reluctant recognition at best.

So what do you think about this guy's comments about the CIA hiring Saddam to kill off communists in Iraq in the 1950's?

Respectfully, they are in reality Islam's ally. They are the "Useful Idiots" that all free societies have. We let them run free until it is too late.

It's the history of Western Man.

Really, I'd like to have a compilation of all documents and data related to Saddam's ties to nazis or communists. It would nice if could slap a very nice Nazi label on all those who march for "peace". I'm still not sure what to believe with all of these interpretations flying around.

So this is what I have so far....Saddam was a Nazi being paid by Capitalists to fight Communists. Someone please ping a thread with some published historical evidence please. This is a very interesting subject.

I kept wondering if he might have a Nazi leaning.

The information presented here about the Grand Mufti is very well documented. Do a Google search for him instead of relying on others to do your research for you. The definitive source would be the Nuremberg trials.

Saddam's political idol was Stalin. Added to his nazi influences, he personifies the greatest evils of the 20th century, all wrapped up in one package. What a guy.

If only the dumbass human shields/hollywood foreign policy experts could get an invite to uncle saddam's Ba'athhouse.

You're right, they are 'useful idiots'.

But the idiots don't yet realize that their 'religious' beliefs, such as atheism, women's rights, and widespread pornography, are what Islam hates the most about the West. They are to be the first to go if......

Yes, that's very true. I've been doing a lot of reading lately on the WWII "peace movement," and except for the addition of Islamist elements this time around, it's very similar. Many of the WWII "peace" groups were admirers of Hitler, and others were Communist front groups who simply hated the United States.

Yes, documentation would come in useful, but only after the fact, and only to convince the reasonable.

I contend that no matter how much evidence one gathers against Hussein, the Peace Protesters will not absorb it. Remember, they are "Artists" and so was Hitler. I think I read somewhere that Hussein wrote "poetry".

The great rift in the cognate of the Pacifist Left is that they can recognize only the artist (?) in the human beast and not the "beast" in the human dictator. In Vienna, Hitler wanted to draw pretty pictures, in Auschwitz, he burned human beings instead. There is a connection in this paradox.

Yes, always and they won't be convinced otherwise. Do you think you could convince Julius Rosenberg that when Joe Stalin "took over" North America, Julius and Ethel would be killed off as being a "traitorous lot"? Rosenberg would have expected a medal, he would have received a bullet.
