Upon taking power in 1933, Hitler enacted a seldom-mentioned war against Christianity which he called Kirchenkampf, or the “church struggle.” This battle was a struggle for the soul of Christianity itself against the Paganism of the Third Reich, for while the great numbers of Germans counted themselves as Christians, the Nazi philosophy was at its essence a religious one, being the revival of ethnonationalist paganism leading to the worship and deification of one’s own race, people, and land.
In order to win over and ensure long-term victory in Germany, Hitler had to be able to bring the Christians under the leadership of the pagans while still giving them the sense of autonomy. Hence was the Kirchenkampf, for just as how a century earlier the German government (then the Prussian Empire) attempted to destroy the Catholic Church in Eastern Europe, Germany now was attempting to co-opt Christianity as a whole by bringing in as an acolyte of her yet again attempt at a pagan revival.
The Kirchenkampf was very successful against the Protestants, as it split German Protestants into those “faithful” to the Reich, and those who opposed the Reich. They were respectively labeled Deutsch Christen, or “German Christians” and Bennkenen Kirche, or “Confessing Church.” A great number of the Protestant Churches, including the Lutheran Church, sided with the Reich.
The self-stated goal of the Kirchenkampf’s acquision of church bodies was to align them with the Fuhrerprinzip, or “Leadership Principles.” Interestingly, the term Fuhrerprinzip was not named after Hitler, but was given by an Estonian philosopher of German extraction, Hermann von Kayserling, a Darwinist who believed that society was to be governed by men who were destined to rule as they were inherently superior due to their biology. In the case of the churches taken in by the Kirchenkampf, it was made as part of their role in support of the Reich to promote and market Darwinian philosophy to their attendees.
While there were obviously some Catholic people who accepted these ideas, the Catholic Church never accepted them because they are immoral and in direct opposition to divinely revealed truth. In response to Hitler’s insistent attacks on the Church, Pope Pius XII issued his Encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, that a man should embrace his identity while understanding that he is first made in the image and likeness of God as with all men, and than any idea the elevates race in the place of the grace of God is evil:
His command to hear the Church (Matt. xviii. 15), to welcome in the words and commands of the Church His own words and His own commands (Luke x. 16), is addressed to all men, of all times and of all countries. The Church founded by the Redeemer is one, the same for all races and all nations. Beneath her dome, as beneath the vault of heaven, there is but one country for all nations and tongues; there is room for the development of every quality, advantage, task and vocation which God the Creator and Savior has allotted to individuals as well as to ethnical communities. The Church’s maternal heart is big enough to see in the God-appointed development of individual characteristics and gifts, more than a mere danger of divergency. She rejoices at the spiritual superiorities among individuals and nations. In their successes she sees with maternal joy and pride fruits of education and progress, which she can only bless and encourage, whenever she can conscientiously do so. But she also knows that to this freedom limits have been set by the majesty of the divine command, which founded that Church one and indivisible. Whoever tampers with that unity and that indivisibility wrenches from the Spouse of Christ one of the diadems with which God Himself crowned her; he subjects a divine structure, which stands on eternal foundations, to criticism and transformation by architects whom the Father of Heaven never authorized to interfere.

It is said that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
As we at shoebat.com have been documenting the rise of a new national socialism, this exact same attempt at a Kirchenkampf is being made again, except instead of it openly coming from a government, it is individuals who are attempting to carry out the same plans exactly as Hitler did.
These plans initially were made public on the Daily Stormer, the largest online Nazi website, by its webmaster, Andrew Auernheimer, who along with Andrew Anglin runs the site. The page went up on January 1st, 2018, but before the day was over the page was gone:
However, not to worry, because we had already grabbed the information:
In addition, we also linked to the video posted so you can see yourself what Auerheimer, who goes by the handle “weev,” was saying:
We are not sure how long this video is going to be online. As such, we have transcribed the entire video in the interest of keeping this information public:
Hey Everybody.
Those of you who have been followers of my channel for a while, you’ll know that it’s a religious thing.
That this started because I had a series of weekly sermons called the I-prophet. the I-prophet was a, uh, part of a church that I made called the last church of Christ out of California. I was building a religious institution. Every week I would say the truth about given subjects like I wrote very firey sermons on pornography and I drew corollaries that the people responsible for the death of Jesus Christ seem to be heavily involved in the pornography industry today. Stuff like this I would generally emphasized disparities between groups that perhaps some groups are prone to unrighteousness and other are not.
As a result of this, I was framed uh, once in public by the FBI (they tried to frame me for threats against a religious center) and the second time they tried to frame me for bioterrorism. Neither of these things worked out for them. Instead, they had me kidnapped from my home and charged with false computer crimes. They tortured me, I spend 40 days and 40 night actually awaiting my bail, January 18th 2011 to February 28th exactly 40 days and 40 nights. You can check- it’s public record.
Anyways, point being I was essentially crucified and I rose again. I left to wander Europe for a while and during this while process we engaged in something that was esoteric. We were still acting according to the same life philosophy and the same goals, but we did it in a way that we could sell it at the time, right? We couldn’t just jump out and have this religious ideology in public. We could do it in private and we’ve been doing this for a long time. Many of you have made this journey with me, and it’s time in 2018 for us to refocus on the public side of the Last Church of Christ.
We are going to do what we can now that we have enough people who politically are motivated. We want to do the building of a new church but deeper than that we also want to act as an advocacy organization in general. We want to do the sort of positive Christianity. We don’t want to do this solely for our community. We want the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, we want southern baptists, we want every single possible group, right, to be energized and to hold our ideas and to hold them and shape them within the context of our own church. Like, I was really excited to be part of the church of Martin Luther. When I was a kid because of the writings of Martin Luther, and when you look at Evangelical Lutheranism today you see something that is very distant from the fire and the flame and that, that holy justice that just spewed out of Luther. You don’t see that in the church now. It’s a very weak, passive organization that promotes all sorts of degradation and degeneracy. It’s not a positive, healthy thing for the people that participate in it. They are weak on everything. They have the women as priests now, it’s just a shell. Martin Luther would be ashamed for that church to bear his name.
Similarly, just as I’d like Lutherans to be thrilled and not dismiss and shame Martin Luther’s writings, see Mormons, the things that Brigham wrote on race were eternally true, and the modern church has decided to discard these things. There are so many religious organization that don’t realize that there’s a biological fact. There’s a biological fact in terms of ideology. We know this because there’s genes more likely to make you believe in God, there’s genes that modulate agression. Some of them have to do with pigment. The pigmentation of every animal on earth, darker pigmented animals are more aggressive, more violent, more sexually aggressive than lighter pigmented animals. That is a universal truth in the animal kingdom. So, you cannot separate ideology and beliefs from biology. These things are not divergent at all and you can see data everywhere in our modern civilization that confirms this absolutely. You can look at, there is a pew research study- 40 percent of millenials believe that free speech should be abridged if it offends racial minorities, and that happens to be uh, about the same amount- 40% of millenials- are not completely of european origin in the United states. There’s a perfect correlation and biological foreigners and foreign ideologies even though the millenials largely aren’t immigrants. They largely grew up in the United States. These are born-and-bred in the USA and they hate the constitution, they hate the values of the constitution. So, what we want to do is influence religion to acknowledge biological realities and sort of return, return to the things that used to be the basis of Christianity because Christendom used to be synonymous with, with Europe. Historical Christendom was Historical Europe. And as we’ve given that up, we get more and more of something that doesn’t look like the Christianity of the past. We get something that’s very foreign, very weak, that’s ripe for conquest, and it’s time to change this. It’s time to change this by not just giving people an alternative, and I don’t want to say that what we’re going to be doing is the only way for you to be saved, there’s any number of ways to build and exciting community, something of value and you can see this in the Asatru folk assembly, you can see this in very, very hard line, the traditionalist communities- Catholic communities in West Ukraine are a great example of this. In terms of Protestants I would look at the Ulster boys, the Free Presbytarian church of Ulster, the closest thing pretty much to white shariah on the planet, they have death squads and they are doing so much amazing stuff there.
So I think there are multiple ways to get to the end point of a healthy civilization, a healthy community that rejects modern degeneracies, that rejects the influx of large amounts of foreigners and still, we can instill any Christian institution with this if we fight for this.
So over the next year, we are transitioning out of this esoteric mode because for the past years we’ve been using these memes, these non-traditional ways of getting an ideology across, and now that we have enough people who are politically on the same page as us, we can refocus and just be honest about what we are doing that this is a holy, religious mission and the core of the message I want to get across is to “play the Kalevala backwards.” if you are not familiar, the Kalevala is a text that is the founding of Finnish national identity. Finland is a nation because of this one piece of poetry just in the way that Ukraine is a nation because of the gorgeous poetry of Taras Shevchenko. It’s just heart wrenching even if you’re not a Ukrainian speaker. There is something magical about poetic sentiment that makes for very, very wonderful countries. But the Kalevala is something very interesting because it’s a conscious sort of giving up, it’s about the end of the rule of Vainamoinen who is sort of their Odin figure and the transition of his power over Finland and Europe at large to this modern set of figures that are very reflective of Christianity. So they had a conscious decision where they decided to transition the basis of their civilization from the old ways to the new ways.
And I’m not, I don’t want to give up thousands of years of Christian culture. But we can’t have verses from the Christian gospels taken out of context to justify sickness and perversion and the destruction of European Christendom. So I’d like to sort of bring the philosophy of Volk Christianity and even of paganism which has always been the root of much of Christian culture. Most of you just celebrated Christmas, we are about to celebrate it a week from now out in the east, and we don’t celebrate it in February when Christ was born, we celebrate it around the old pagan rites. So we want to reemphasize these sort of pagan roots of Early Christian tradition, really of Christian tradition up until the, you know, 18th century when things really started to go awry due to these new sort of enlightenment philosophies. You know, new liberalism, new things leaked into the church that were entirely foreign to our civilization, ideas which have gone very wrong. So we’re going out of this esoteric mode of just posting meme and we’re going to an exoteric mode where we’re going to say in public once again that the European culture and the survival of European civilization is our religion. It’s our faith. We’re going back to that place where we’re going to have our priests and our churches, we’re going to have our people going into other institutions. This is very important. If you’re a Catholic, you need to be an aggressive proponent of our ideology within the framework of the Catholic Church because the Catholic Church has transformed countless times from an ideological-political standpoint over its history. We can integrate some of our ideas into the church, and we can make more of the church look like traditionalist Catholic sects, like the west Ukrainians. If you’re Protestant, same thing. I don’t care what church you go to. If you don’t go to ours, you need to promote political righteousness and biological facts within the context of your church. Your church cannot exist as a defiance of the natural order- it will fall, it will be the destruction of all Christendom if you let this happen.
So I want to reintroduce the fires of the old ways of traditional thinkers, traditional ideas, even the poetic Edda, I want to reintegrate these ideas into the Church, I want to synthesize something that protects historical Christendom from foreigners, and I want to say, once again, in public, that this is a divinely inspired mission, that what i do is religious, it is holy, and there is no compromise on what I believe to be a divine struggle between light and dark, between good and evil. And I hope, I hope that many of you are going to become a proper priest and join me on this journey.
Hail Victory.
As you can see, in this speech he outright admits that the National Socialists of today are looking to actively infiltrate “traditionalist” movements among all Christian Churches, especially the Catholic Church. “Weev” is also a very interesting person (but that is a discussion for another day). However, there are also some other points of major importance that need to be highlighted:
-Asatru cult and “esoteric memeing”: This cult was a major subject of discussion for our groundbreaking investigation into the counter-jihad movement. The Asatru cult is a racist, pagan cult in Iceland with deep ties to the National Socialist movement and racist pagan groups all across Germany and Northern Europe. Stephen McNallen, who is the head of the American branch of Asatru, is a regular guest on major National Socialist websites and shows such as Red Ice Radio, and he came out with a video describing how the National Socialists were going to spread their message by using “magic” (hexed) memes by invoking the power of Pagan gods such as Odin in preparation for what he called would be the “Wolf Age” as part of the “Wotan Network”:
–Free Presbytarian Church of Ulster– Founded in 1951, this is a “conservative” Presbytarian church founded in reaction to the “liberalism” of the times by Rev. Ian Paisley. While the Church has certain noble position such as standing strong against homosexuality, it is anti-Catholic to the point of calling for the murder of Catholics simply for being Catholic and has promoted outright racism against Irish Catholic people, saying they are Catholic because they are biologically inferior. Such an example was in 2003 when Paisley attacked Irish Catholic politician Brian Cowen, calling him “thick lipped,” which was one of a series of Protestant Darwinian-based insults made towards Catholics:
Paisley is the most experienced and self- conscious exponent of traditional oratory on this island. He is steeped in both Biblical imagery and old anti-Catholic invective. He knew exactly what he was doing when he chose to ponder, not just Brian Cowen’s general appearance, but the apparently bizarre issue of “the reason his lips were so thick” – what he was doing, without getting himself into trouble for explicit bigotry, was drawing on a deep well of pseudo-scientific racism.
In the language of racism, thick lips speak volumes. In the 19th century, racial types could be classified by their physiognomy. One look at a face could allow the informed observer to assign it to an inferior race like the Irish or the Negro or a superior race like the Anglo-Saxon. And one of the sure marks of the inferior types was thick lips.
Cesare Lombroso in his hugely influential book The Criminal Man, published in 1876, listed the stigmata of the born delinquent. Among them was “Lips fleshy, swollen and protruding”. Such lips, of course, were associated with Africans and therefore with the savage peoples. This kind of toxic drivel reached its height, of course, with the Nazis. Again, thick lips were a sign of the ultimate in racial inferiority: Jewishness. The propaganda rag Der Stuermer noted in 1938, for example, that “the Jew is recognised not only by his nose . . . The Jew is also recognised by his lips. His lips are usually thick. Often the lower lip hangs down.”
But thick lips were also characteristically Irish. Daniel Mackintosh, fellow of the Anthropological Society of London, defined the “Gaelic type” in 1866 by, among other things, its “large mouth and thick lips”. The big lips were part of the iconography of anti-Irish cartoons and remained so right up to the 1980s. They operated as a clear signal of repellent, criminal inferiority. (source)
-“Ukrainian traditional Catholics”- It is interesting that he brings up this because while there is little to say about “Catholics” and “tradition in Ukraine, there is a resurgence of National Socialism being promoted in Ukraine just like in the past primarily through the Azov Brigade, which is a Ukrainian paramilitary group involved in horrible crimes, such as when they took a Russian man, crucified him, and then burned him alive on the cross:
Satan worshippers in the Ukraine, who hate Christ, seized a Christian man, put him on a giant cross, nailed him onto the cross, crucified him, and as he was screaming in agony, they burned him alive. Here is the video:
The victim was pro-Russia, and he was killed by anti-Russian devil worshippers who are part of the occult. In the video, the satanists say, “all the separatists, traitors of Ukraine and militia fighters will be treated the same”.
The group who did this demonic act is Azov, a very powerful organization of devil worshippers and pagans who hate Christians. Whats even more disturbing is that the United States will be training these devil worshippers this month of April. According to one report:
The United States plans to send soldiers to Ukraine in April for training exercises with units of the country’s national guard.
Ukraine’s Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in a Facebook post on Sunday that the units to be trained include the Azov Battalion, a volunteer force that has attracted criticism for its far-right sentiments including brandishing an emblem widely used in Nazi Germany.
Avakov said the training will begin April 20 at a base in western Ukraine near the Polish border and would involve about 290 American paratroopers and some 900 Ukrainian guardsmen.
The US, being a tool of the devil to advance the Antichrist, is funding Islamic terrorists in Syria and Iraq who are slaughtering Christians, and now the US is funding these satan worshippers in the Ukraine, who are also killing Christians.
Borgese ‘Alex’ Serediuk, a former member of Azov, said that the organization “was full of pagans. Committed Christians in the Azov were not allowed to stop to pray throughout the day”. What people nails a man to a cross except who hate Christ and desire to mock Christianity? These people are confirmed neo-Nazis, who proudly bear the Swastika as their symbol, as well as the Nazi Wolfsangel insignia. (source)
As we mentioned in our article about Asatru, they likewise support the Azov brigades because they are pagan and support National Socialism:
his book that Vakur (which Spencer served) endorses and advertises for is filled with typical neo-Nazi and eugenist talk. In one page it says:
“Unlike a colonised people who can return to their roots as soon as they free themselves from the foreign yoke, a mongrelised people are a genetically manipulated people that no longer have any roots.” (p. 23)
In another part of this book, Krebs refers to “the followers of Jesus Christ” as being a part of a cultural marxist conspiracy to destroy White identity. In other words, Krebs sees Christianity as the enemy to his ethnocentrist ideology:
“Egalitarianism may well postulate that races do not exist, but anyone taken at random can recognize a White from a Black, and a Black from a Yellow. To be sure, everything would be much easier if it were possible to prohibit races a vow difficult to realise because it comes down to prohibiting Nature de facto. Being unable to constrain the latter, the followers of Jesus Christ, Karl Marx and Big Brother are therefore going to try to destroy it.” (p. 28)
The official banner of the Thule Seminar consists of the German black eagle, the black sun image, which was used by the Nazis, and the Nazi Wolfsangel (which is also the symbol of the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Azov terrorist organization) with an arrow going through it, representing Northern Europe:
Notice how the same symbol of the Azov Brigade and the “Thule Seminar” is the same one used on Stephen McNallen’s shirt from the video earlier about the Wotan Network:
Do you see what is happening here?
All of the talk about “Christian traditionalism” and “biological reality” is all a cover up. This is an attempt to perform a stealth infiltration of Christian Churches the same way that Hitler did during the Kirchenkampf in Germany, except this time instead of it being an openly “government” directed project it is going to be presented as a populist movement in the same way that the “alt-right” was sold as a populist movement.
You can already see it happening with certain major “Christian” commentators” on the “right”:
Faith Goldy. A popular figure on the “alt-right,” she has been increasingly speaking about immigration and “race realism,” including going on Red Ice Radio. This in combination with the fact that she is speaking more about “traditional Catholicism” in her presentations reflects this exact change of opera\tional patterns noted by weev.
Look for this pattern more, and do not be lead astray by talk about “Christianity,” for just as with the National Socialists of old used and many Christians were deceived by, any talk about Christianity is simply a vehicle being used for the promotion of ethnonationalism and paganism.
I’m not presenting this material just to say “look what is happening.”
I’m presenting this because something has to be done. And I’m talking to YOU.
This is going to be a MAJOR theme for the next year. And it is going to take place on a piece-by-piece level.
It won’t be groups marching like Charlottesville. It won’t even be anything of interesting note.
It’s going to be “that guy” who talks about “realism” in Church.
It’s going to be “that guy” who is interested in “traditional Christianity” and starts talking about his interest in Odin/Wotan/paganism- “just the stories, you know.”
It’s not going to be anything fantastic. But it is real.
The way to stop this is not one person. It’s each individual person standing up for Christian orthodoxy.
Christian teaching, unlike the false dichotomy talked about by “weev” that there is a ‘weak’ and a ‘strong’ Christianity, Christian orthodox is consistent. And among the teachings that stand in addition for standing up for one’s own identity and people is that as the Bible states, all men are made in the image and likeness of God.
Darwinism is NEVER an answer to the problems of society because Darwinism is pagan. It is inherently anti-Christian.
All of the talk about “Christendom” has nothing to do with “saving Christendom,” for Christendom has been dead since the Reformation. The only purpose this is for is to attempt to co-opt the name of Christendom in order to use it to destroy what Christian presence is left in society and use its remains as fertilizer for the fetid tree of paganism.
We can’t let that happen.
That is why any attempts to introduce “race,” “biology,” “Darwinism,” “realism,” or other such terms must be called out and the people who say them because what you are witnessing right now is an attempt to build a philosophical structure for the return of a Fourth Reich.
Why do you think this article with the video was most likely pulled from the Daily Stormer with absolutely no notice?
Because they showed their hand too soon.
Don’t have the regrets of Pastor Martin Niemoller, with his words immortalized in his poem:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Because the Nazis showed their hand, it reminds me of the famous American country singer Kenny Roger’s song “The Gambler.” In it famously sang:
He said, “Son, I’ve made a life
Out of readin’ people’s faces
And knowin’ what the cards were
By the way they held their eyes.
So if you don’t mind my sayin’
I can see you’re out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey
I’ll give you some advice.”
So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
Said, “If you’re gonna play the game, boy,
You gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold ’em,
Know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away,
And know when to run.
You never count your money
When you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’
When the dealing’s done.
Anybody who plays cards knows that you don’t “show your hand,” or expose the cards that you have in your possession until the opportune time comes to show them. Now while the video on the Stormer was certainly made for public viewing, the fact is that it represents a “showing of the hand.”
Look at weev’s channel. That video has only about 4.5K views. That is NOTHING, especially in comparison to many videos about the alt-right and politics on YouTube.
This video was likely made for a few people who would actually care to look for it. People who are of a more serious disposition anyways. It was NOT meant for just simple public consumption, especially the average reader, since it would confuse and likely show too much information.
There could be another reason why it was taken down. I could be completely wrong in my assessment about why. However, “why” it was taken down does not matter in light of the fact of what it says.
We know something of what is coming.
We already know what to expect based on past experience, both in terms of historical reality as well as of what has been reported on in recent times.
All that is left is the willingness to confront it head on and in public, because if it is not confronted, it will only grow.
So many people say that “IF I WERE ALIVE IN GERMANY DURING WORLD WAR II, I WOULD FIGHT THE NAZIS.”
This is 2018, and the Nazis are back. This is your time to put your words into action because you are living through what German and other European people lived through in the 1920s and 1930s.
History is repeating itself again, and you have the chance to choose what side you stand on.
Choose wisely.
