Analyzing
Hitler
(a guest
post by Mr. Cohen)
_______________________________________________
According
to one author, Adolph Hitler and his Nazi followers
seemed to have an amazing
willingness to believe outlandish
myths and very dubious theories. Even more
amazing was their
willingness to act, based on those outlandish myths and
theories.
Some
examples:
{1} “In the Nazi period, there was an
idea, derived from ancient
underworld myths, that various things might be buried
deep
within the Earth, such as: kingdoms, planets, phantom universes,
super
humans, or aliens. Some of Hitler’s top advisors—and
possibly the man
himself—believed that the Earth was hollow.
The [Nazi] military launched
various expeditions in an attempt
to confirm the notion and acquire the
strategic advantage this
knowledge would entail. There are further theories
surrounding
the annual expeditions to Tibet between 1926 and 1943,
claiming
that the German mission was to find and maintain
contact with their Aryan
forefathers in Shambhala and Agharti,
cities which supposedly existed beneath
the Himalayas.”
{2} “Hitler presumed that the [Holy]
Grail would confer immortality
on all Aryans, and he gave credence to the idea
that the Christians
had stolen the artifact from ancient pagans. He maintained
that
the Grail should be restored to its rightful place in Germany.
Himmler designated [Otto] Rahn to search for
the object.
He traveled through Europe, the Middle East, and Iran,
but by the
end of the war, the artifact still eluded him,
and he was forced to commit
suicide.”
{3} “The Holy Lance, or Spear of Destiny,
is said to be
the lance that pierced J____’s side as he hung on the cross.
Hitler reportedly first saw the lance in [year]
1908,
and from that moment on he did everything he could
to get his hands on
it. Once owned by Roman Emperor
Constantine the Great and more than 40 other
great men,
emperors and leaders managed to possess it at one point
or another,
including Frederick the Great.
In 1938, as Hitler oversaw the annexation of
Austria,
he transferred the lance to Nuremberg.”
{4} “The Nazis claimed that Hitler’s
rise to power
had been predicted by Nostradamus.”
{5} “Hitler also reportedly believed
in the mystical
cosmology of Hanns Hörbiger” (born 1860, died 1931).
Hanns Hörbiger and his Welteislehre
("World Ice") Theory
claimed that “various moons and other stellar
bodies once
circled our world, gradually falling and dying as time went on.
The
last moon that fell caused the Great Flood and the ruin
of Atlantis, the
supposed homeland of the Aryans.”

CONCLUSION: Adolph Hitler and his Nazi
followers
were amazingly willing to believe outlandish myths,
and base their
actions on those unproven myths.
This may help to explain why they chose to
believe
outlandish accusations against Jews, and base
their actions on those
outlandish accusations.

the Fans of Vashti:
For the past couple of months, outdoor uncrowded aka keep your distance minyanim, Jewish Prayer groups, have been gathering all over our neighborhood and other places in Israel. That's because synagogues have been closed, padlocked even. From what I've heard, this has been the situation in Israel and all over the world. Too many people have caught the dreaded corona virus, COVID-19 when at religious gatherings.
As the rate of infection began to lessen here in Israel, outdoor prayers became permitted with masked (not everyone followed that rule) attendees standing a couple of meters from each other.
