RE: Hitler was fascinated with The Shroud

How does he intend to use it?

B-b-b-b-but, I always hear from Lefties that the Nazis were 'CHRISTIANS'!!!

Actually, until the Romans came the Germans didn't even have a written language and lived in pig $hit. In the ensuing 1800 years, they developed art, science, culture, and theology that was enviable.

However, the last 200 years the Germans have slowly been reverting back to their ancient primitiveness. The height of this was the Nazis, which totally rejected their Judeo-christian heritage and helped accelerate German De-evolution that has progressed to this day. Almost to a man, Germans totally reject Jesus Christ while accepting Soviet Atheism and/or Islam.

A good book on this subject is “The Occult Roots of Nazism” by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke.

Hitler also obtained various relics from Austria that were supposed to possess magic powers (the “true spear,” etc), and considered them of great importance. Between dabbling in the occult and embracing methamphetamines, the Third Reich was headed for Hell figuratively and literally.

When people lose their Judeo-Christian beliefs and ethics, they revert back to what they were in their pre-Christian times, i.e., pagans.

I have seen this before on “The History Channel”.

Fascinating how intelligent people could be so easily fooled. It does happen. The smartest girl in my High School Cass believed in Astrology.

The Germans gave as well as they took from the Romans. I can’t remember the battle but the Germans totally destroyed a Roman army in a forest.

Several years ago I read The Spear of Destiny by Trevor Ravenscroft. The librarian said it was the most stolen book in the Fort Worth Public Library.

The link is to the full text of the book, which claims Hitler's fascination with the supernatural powers of the spear that pierced Jesus' side.

I remember hearing some time ago, Hitler was extremely covetous of owning ‘the spear of Longinus’, which he believed was used by the soldier Longinus to pierce Jesus’ side when he was on the cross. As I heard it, when Hitler took possession of it, he shook with delight as he held it in his hands.

That is weird in itself.

Hitler's Holy Relics by Sidney Kirkpatrick probably touches on the same subject. Himmler was pretty invested in real and imagined "aryan" mythology, but even he seemed to think that "Christian" relics would jolt things loose.

Thanks that is the one I was thinking of.

I did remember the German commander was Arminius, the ancient form of Hermann.

American historians knew about it but did not know how to handle it. Or claimed they did not.

Abraham Lincoln got the (North) interested in the occult because he dabbled in it. Supposed to have had a seance in the White House.

The people on the left are of the same ilk. You start believing in other non Judeo Christian religions the devil is waiting to snatch your soul.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a Dr. and a brilliant writer yet he believed in some of the hocus pocus. He and Lady Doyle tried to contact their Son who was killed in WWI. His friend Houdini knew they were fakes and showed Doyle how they were done.

Still Doyle continued to believe.

This is only news because the Left which owns Hollywood and university history departments has desperately tried to hide the facts that Nazis were anti-Christian, socialist neo-pagans.

Quote: “He recognizes that the particular horrors of National Socialism are unlikely to repeat themselves. Although loathsome and sometimes murderous, neo-Nazi cosplayers and alt-right creeps are losers who do not pose a real threat to our constitution and culture. Donald Trump is not an orange iteration of Hitler. The populist governments of Poland, Hungary, and other European nations (welcome, Italy) are not Nazis.”

So.... the author of this review is, himself, a true believing Liberal as clearly evidenced by this entirely bigoted and completely unnecessary foray into political slander for absolutely no reason.

A decent Editor would have cut this paragraph as it serves no purpose aside from virtue signaling to like-minded persons who treat their politics as a religion. Much, ironically, as the Nazis did themselves.
