Word from News Commentary - Hitler and Nazi Resurgence
Hitler and Nazi Resurgence
…will a successor to Hitler emerge in Europe?
by Chris Cumming
"Just as certainly as we restore Western Europe to economic
prosperity, and then to military power, a successor to Hitler will
emerge, gain control of this power through a 'United States of
Europe,' which we [the United States government] are also
encouraging, and we shall then wake up, too late, to realize we have
restored our fascist enemy the power to destroy us! ... battlefields
are becoming economic, just as we said they would ... the movement
is ... forming toward complete political solidification!"
This warning was published by Garner Ted Armstrong forty-five years
ago. Is he accurate in his prediction? Will a successor to Hitler
emerge and gain control of power in the European Union? Are events
now unfolding that will lead to a resurrection and revival of
fascist ideals and methods? Is Hitler making a comeback? Will
European masses soon demand a strong, central leader who will lead
them from their economic and social woes and establish what is
already being called, The Fourth Reich? How will it happen?
All one has to do to is read news stories coming out of Europe the
last few years. Here are just eight stories we have been monitoring:
Germany mulls over Nazi past
Adopt Nazi methods, says Italian councilor
Hitler Makes a Comeback
A Resurgence of Approval for Hitler's Politics

industry

Resurgence: So it seems Iran wants to recreate Hitler's Third Reich
Adolf Hitler, albeit one of the most evil and hated dictators of the
twentieth century, remains an icon of a political system that
brought its people and nation out of financial ruin and despair to
power, world prestige and prosperity seemingly overnight. As we
published in the Plain Truth back in August of 1964,
“Now the specter of a united Europe is suddenly looming up ...
the United States is oblivious to this new threat to its power. When
will we wake up and realize that what is shaping up in Europe is the
revival of Fascism under the cloak of European unity?"
The Hitler Industry
Never, since World War II, have I seen such a fascination with all
things Hitler. This goes far beyond skinheads in Idaho or the
modest inroads of the Neo-Nazi party in Germany. The name and
symbols of Hitler are seemingly everywhere and in proportions never
before witnessed.
National Savior
In Peter Wyden's latest book, "The Hitler Virus: The Insidious
Legacy of Adolf Hitler", he writes:
"The steady drift toward a populist Hitler renewal became noticeable
in the early 1970's, first as a fad among the young, the generation
that found in the Führer an appealing symbol, largely because he was
taboo for parents and grandparents and therefore made to measure as
a rallying cry for a traditional revolt of young against old.
"Teachers in the Munich schools reported that more and more
teenagers were sewing swastikas onto their jeans; telling demeaning
jokes about Jews; greeting each other with a cheery 'Heil Hitler!';
and generally adopting the Führer as their idol.
“Under Hitler we wouldn't be
seeing any terrorists.”
I would not be surprised to see
an increased demand for a strong leader to come forth to stop the
terrorism in Europe. Add to this the growing unrest with the Muslim
immigration problems all nations in Europe are having, especially
with the Muslim refusal to integrate into traditional European
society.
In the summer of 1979, Mr. Armstrong wrote, "Hitler imagined a
'Thousand-year Reich' with himself ... at the pinnacle of power, and
dreamed of a millennial reign of 'German Supermen' over the world,
as if he applied these prophecies [of a coming "Messiah"] to
himself. This new leader of a united Europe, who will probably be a
German, will attempt to fulfill the very same dream.”
Europe is quickly realizing that the huge influx of Muslims into the
EU does not share the same dreams and goals as they and in fact, are
a counter-threat to them. As our own staff writer, Michael Burkert,
stated in his commentary, "Europe's
Tolerance May Soon End":
"In the past 40 years or so, nearly 20 million Muslims from
Turkey, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Morocco, Libya or wherever,
have flocked to Western Europe. However, they never came to become
Europeans. Millions came to Europe to ‘spread Islam.’ Accordingly,
Europe has an enormous problem with millions of unassimilated Arabs,
Turks, Persians and other Muslims WHO WILL ALWAYS BE MUSLIMS FIRST
AND FOREMOST, AND WILL NEVER BE EUROPEANS.”
I predict that as the intolerance grows so will the demand for a
strong, central leader to take care of the problem.
Fascist Law-Making
In a news report, “Adopt Nazi methods, says Italian councilor”
published in December of 2007, Peter Popham writes"
"If an immigrant commits a crime against an Italian, ten immigrants
should be punished for it, following the method used in Nazi
concentration camps: this is the recipe for racial harmony advanced
by Giorgio Bettio, a town councilor in Treviso, near Venice.
"The theme raised so viciously by Mr. Bettio – of treating
foreigners in Italy with special harshness – was yesterday on the
way to being enshrined in the statute book. One month ago a 'decree
law' or
diktat authorizing the
expulsion without trial of EU citizens who are a threat to public
security was rushed into law after the murder of an Italian woman,
allegedly by a Roma man. Yesterday in the Senate they debated
transforming the diktat into a regular law, and an attempt by
left-wing members of the ruling coalition to send the law back to
the committee stage was defeated by the Opposition. Soon it will be
the law of the land, though Prime Minister
Romano Prodi,
who supports the new law, cautions that it should not result in mass
expulsions."
A “diktat” is a harsh,
unilaterally imposed settlement with a defeated party. In this
case, the defeated parties are those currently immigrating to the
EU. Despite Prime Minister Prodi’s caution, this law could be used
for the predicted mass expulsion of Muslim immigrants. In other
words, the laws are already being set in place for a strong leader.
From the booklet, “Mark
of the Beast---What is It? ”, Mr. Armstrong
writes:
The coming…dictator of a United States of Europe, will be hailed
as a "deliverer"; he will be worshiped! History proves that many
women fainted at the sight of Adolf Hitler during one of his
parades!...It will happen again!

Quote by Garner Ted Armstrong:
"(Germany's) natural tendency is to look for a powerful, magnetic, inspiring
LEADER; a "Fuhrer," who will rise up like a Bismarck or a Hitler, and lead them
to their perceived rightful place—the pinnacle of power over all Europe, and
eventually the world." –[21st Century Watch-vol 4, no 1]
Excerpt from our News Commentary,
The Arafat Legacy:
"Yasser Arafat grew to adulthood, a convinced Nazi. To his death, he
continued to hold Hitler in high esteem, and believed that National Socialism
was the perfect form of government for the Arab world. Why not?
National Socialism professes HATRED for the Jews, and promotes a 'leader cult'
so enjoyed by Arafat during the majority of his worthless life."
