HER dusty file was one of hundreds of thousands of documents stacked in a house in a wealthy neighbourhood of Baghdad. Asma Rasheed married a pilot, lived comfortably in the presidential compound of Saddam Hussein and directed a microbiology programme that was not supposed to exist. Rasheed’s light blue folder has emerged from a huge archive seized by forces loyal to Ahmed Chalabi, the leader of the Iraqi National Congress, which opposed Saddam. The archive — a dark who’s who of Iraq — reveals the tiniest details of blandishments and humiliations by a paranoid regime that shared the Nazis’ obsession...

Neo-Nazi Links with Arab Palestinian Extremist OrganizationsFrançois Genoud: Financier Linking Nazi and Palestinian Militant NetworksFrançois Genoud (1915–1996) was a Swiss Nazi sympathizer, financier, and political activist who served as an important intermediary between former Nazis, European far-right networks, and Palestinian militant organizations during the Cold War. Rather than acting as a militant himself, Genoud used financial, legal, and political connections to support causes he viewed as aligned with his anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli worldview (Aarons & Loftus, 1991; Lee, 1998). Early Connections to Arab Nationalist and Pro-Nazi Networks Genoud's involvement with Arab nationalist causes predated the emergence of modern Palestinian militant...

FORT WORTH, Texas — A teenager arrested in connection with a string of south Fort Worth car arsons has been linked to a viral social media video developed overseas by an extremist hate group, police said Tuesday. The Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) said, on Jan. 6, it became aware of a concerning video shared across multiple social media platforms, which depicted an individual wearing a hockey mask delivering explicit threats of mass violence, stating intentions to kill indiscriminately, and expressing a lack of regard for human life. Fort Worth police, in coordination with the Fort Worth Arson Unit, determined...

Germany’s “social-ecological market economy” is a textbook illustration of this dynamic. The state declares hydrogen and other favored technologies to be the “future,” pours billions into subsidies, and attempts to construct markets by decree. Yet even an official body like the Federal Audit Office now describes this as a “planned economy approach” and doubts that the government will reach its own goals. In all likelihood, Germany is about to confirm once again what Mises showed in theory a century ago: planned economies do not deliver their promised outcomes. Instead, they generate rising costs, failing projects, and increasing chaos—while making society...

A Senate Budget Committee investigation has revealed Swiss lender Credit Suisse had more Nazi-linked accounts than previously known and obscured such information in the past. An investigation into Credit Suisse’s World War II-era accounts, led by committee Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and ranking member Chuck Grassley, R-IA, brought to light tens of thousands of documents that show “extensive” evidence of previously undisclosed Nazi-linked accounts at Credit Suisse, according to a committee news release Saturday The bank, now owned by UBS, engaged in a “pattern of obstruction” by not fully disclosing such information during past investigations, the committee said. In reviewing...

There are so many misconceptions about Fascism, National Socialism and Third Positionism that few people actually know what their ideology is. Yes it's racist, but why? And what else do they believe? In this video, we will read quotes from modern and historical Third Positionists, and listen to the adherents themselves, to uncover the truth - that this ideology is different than what you might expect. I AM NOT A FASCIST, nor a Nazi, nor a Third Positionist. I am against these hateful ideologies. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past...

Will Spencer of the "Renaissance of Men" interviews Dr. R. Mark Musser on his book entitled, "Nazi Ecology: The Oak Sacrifice of the Judeo-Christian Worldview in the Holocaust" which demonstrates the essential pagan worldview of National Socialism and how its racist Social Darwinism was co-mingled with ecology since it cannot be separated from biology that played no small role in the Shoah.

While Hitler and Mussolini both expressed their opposition to and hatred of “Marxists,” they nevertheless embraced a leftism that was only marginally different from that embraced by Lenin and Stalin. In light of recent events and discussions attempting to rehabilitate the historical reputation of Germany’s Nazis, it might be worthwhile to re-examine the foundations of the ideology that underpinned National Socialism and its close cousin fascism. Those who embrace the revisionism that excuses the Nazis’ crimes appear to believe that by doing so, they are defending themselves and their ideological brethren from unfair and ahistorical attacks by the broader left....

Fate must be pranking the far left, because they adopted one of the Nazis’ primary ad concepts. We’ve already seen how there is an eerie overlap between the Harris-Walz images and slogans and those of the Nazis, Soviets, and Chinese communists. But fate weirdly slated them to adopt an iconic Nazi sloganeering concept that was even present in a memorable moment in the best of the Indiana Jones movies. So witness the woke crossover of the Nazi and Un-Democratic parties, a word concept voiced by Volkskomrade Kamala herself, our glorious vice president. Historic propaganda imagery of the Nazi era will...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) stated that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris avoiding interviews so far hasn’t been a problem because “she’s brought joy back into the whole arena of politics. There will be plenty of time to do interviews.” Co-host Kate Bolduan asked, “Elon Musk wrapped this conversation with Donald Trump, saying this, in part, that he thinks the country is at a fork in the road of destiny of civilization and I think we need to take the right path, and I think you’re the right path,...

There is much to learn from Paul Johnson's history of the 20th century, not least the appalling truth about the "Republican" camp during the Spanish Civil War; some unpalatable facts about FDR and his "vanity … compounded by an astonishing naivety"; and, most importantly, the many ways in which the autocrats of the left (Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc…) and of the right (Hitler, Mussolini, Pétain, etc…) inspired, complemented, and even conspired with, one another. Much of what we have learned turns out to be myths. What explains the rise of rightist fascism, and how does it differ from leftist communism?...

Irish hearts are with the Palestinian people, according to the Green Party leader Eamon Ryan, who called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the targeting of civilians in Gaza. He said Ireland is being listened to in the EU and UN during what he called “uncertain and fearful times” and that a solution must be found that recognizes the right of both Israel and Palestine to exist. At his address to delegates at the Green Party annual convention in Cork city, Minister Ryan said the first response must be to condemn “the slaughter of Israeli citizens” in attacks...

Ex-Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard blasted her former party on Friday, saying its “core principals” and focus on diversity are comparable to Nazism and Adolf Hitler. “They’re are proud to be judging people, hiring people, selecting people based on race — and let’s be clear how serious of a problem this is. It’s based on genetics, race, based on your blood, your genes, and where do we see that connection?” Gabbard told Fox News host Jesse Watters.

You’ve probably known someone in your life who was simply full of it, right? A friend of a friend or acquaintance who lied constantly, burning a lot of calories trying to convince people to believe people of something that simply wasn’t so. That is how Democrats are on almost every issue, but there’s one in particular they desperately need to fool people on not only so they can use it as a weapon, but also so they can hide the horrors their political philosophy have committed against the people unfortunate enough to live under their absolute reign. The real “big...

When a new book came out, the great C. S. Lewis would first seek out an old one on the same subject. That’s good advice for embattled Americans. In fact, two old books address what is happening today with rare perception. Regent College Publishing has reissued The Green Stick and The Infernal Grove, the two volumes of Chronicles of Wasted Time by Malcolm Muggeridge. Paul Johnson called it one of the great autobiographies of our time, which might be an understatement. Wisdom and wit leap off the pages, and there’s even a news hook: Russia has invaded Ukraine and that...

Hatred of vaccine dissidents expresses itself first in marginalization and demonization. Then it advances to punishment. The larger end game appears to have little to do with public health.Twentieth-century authoritarian regimes were obsessed with cleansing the “unfit” from the national body. A revival of that toxic urge seeps toward us like gas under a threshold. The leakage is global. Nevertheless, recent news out of Germany provides a unique lesson in the tenacity of a malignant ideology. In mid-November, Germany’s Euthanasia Society declared COVID vaccination a requirement for physician-assisted suicide. Citing public health concerns, the nation that identified “life-unworthy-of-life” (Lebensunwertes Leben)...

Honoring BLM Marxists and their message of hate is indefensible. Seeing those giant "Black Lives Matter" flags being unfurled at embassies around the world last week was another "surely this can't be happening" moment for Americans watching the federal government's steady embrace of evil. It was as if Heinrich Himmler had risen from the grave to lead the Democratic Party in ordering the draping of Schutzstaffel (SS) flags over the entrances to civic buildings of conquered territories. Except all those embassies and consulates are on American soil, so the revolting reality was that the Marxist paramilitary "brownshirts" of BLM had...

Leftists love to throw around the word “fascist,” although half the time they don’t appear to even know what it means. Usually, it’s just a way of insulting someone unenlightened enough to disagree with them. At best, they’re calling the person a big meanie, an authoritarian. But that’s not exactly (or at least not entirely) what a “fascist” is. Perhaps, for our leftist friends, a brief primer is in order. Fascism is a political and economic system that arose in Europe following World War I. It has three primary characteristics: extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, and a state-run economy. Indeed, in terms...
