John Stoehr: Can Dems Fight Fire With Fire?

A recent Gallup poll found that, as is often the case early in a Republican presidency, Democratic Party affiliation has increased over the past few months, giving Democrats an edge. Paradoxically, the same poll shows the Democratic Party to be quite unpopular at the moment, particularly among Democrats themselves. This week on Sea Change Radio, we welcome John Stoehr of The Editorial Board back to the program to talk about the sad state of American politics. We focus much of this wide-ranging discussion on strategies that Democrats should employ to wrestle away the authoritarian grip that the MAGA right currently has on this country. We touch upon the real-world impacts of kitchen-table economic issues created by tariffs, and look at how Dems should be fighting GOP redistricting schemes.

Occult History of the 3rd Reich 4 pts: Swastika, SS Blood & Soil, Himmler The Mystic, Hitler (1991)

'The Occult History of the 3rd Reich' documentary - part 1 The Enigma of the Swastika - part 2 - SS Blood And Soil - part 3 Himmler the Mystic - part 4 - Adolf Hitler - Nazi eugenics then heading to States in US. The Occult History of the Third Reich (1991) This chilling series traces the occult origins of the Nazi party and follows them through to the death of the evil figure at its very heart.  Four volume documentary set ("Adolf Hitler", "The SS Blood and Soil", "The Enigma of the Swastika", and "Himmler The Mystic") containing mainly B&W as well as some color archival footage, with narration explaining the influences of alternative belief systems (occult, paganism, mysticism, etc) on the Nazi ideology and Hitler's personal philosophy. Also documents the history and development of the ideas and symbols that would be used along with eugenicist racial politics to perpetrate the murder and oppression of millions during World War II Nazi ideology and Hitler's personal philosophy perpetrated the murder and oppression of millions during World War II. With archival footage and narration explaining the influences of the occult on the Third Reich, this four-part documentary further unveils the twisted mind of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. The documentary contains mainly black-and-white as well as some color archival footage, with narration explaining the influences of alternative belief systems (occult, paganism, mysticism, etc.) on the Nazi ideology and Hitler's personal philosophy. It also documents the history and development of ideas and symbols used by the Nazi Party and of the Nazi eugenics program. In the early 20th century, the young Adolf Hitler was just one of many German-speaking people attracted by a new Germanic mythology that combined ancient legends and esoteric cosmologies with cutting-edge theories of genetic science. In the hands of the Nazis, the result was a new ideology that saw racial purity as the key to human destiny. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228660/ This was a belief system of arcane rituals and potent symbols, with the ancient swastika appropriated for the Nazi cause. By the time of the Third Reich, Hitler and the Nazis had evolved an entirely new faith, complete with holy book, venerated relics, and a priestly elite in the form of Himmler's SS. It was a religion based on obedience, power, and the cult of the leader, with Hitler himself conceived in Messianic terms.

TWIP-250803

In moments of crisis, truth becomes a battleground. And nowhere is that more evident than in the discourse surrounding Palestine. For decades, questioning Israel’s policies, its occupation, its military actions, its treatment of Palestinians, has been met with swift and calculated accusations of antisemitism. This tactic isn’t new. It’s a well-worn strategy designed to shut down uncomfortable conversations, deflect accountability, and silence dissent. The events of October 7th have only intensified this pattern. That day has been transformed into a rhetorical shield, used not to mourn, but to justify. First, blame is placed squarely on Hamas. Then, it expands to encompass Palestinian civilians, as if collective punishment were a legitimate response. And when anyone dares to ask deeper questions, about the siege, the starvation, the mass killings, the response is predictable: “You’re antisemitic.” The Holocaust is invoked, not to honor its victims, but to manipulate emotion and distract from the atrocities unfolding in Gaza today. It’s a cynical use of history, one that exploits trauma to excuse present-day violence. But this tactic is losing its grip. More people are beginning to understand that speaking truth is not antisemitism. It is a moral obligation. It is the exercise of free speech. And it is essential to any honest pursuit of justice. As the dust settles around October 7th, the official narrative is beginning to crack. Initial reports claimed thousands of Israelis were killed. That number quickly dropped, from 1,600, to 1,200, and now hovers around 850. What happened to the rest? Why the revision? These questions are not rhetorical; they’re rooted in emerging evidence. Multiple sources, including Haaretz, ABC News, and The Times of Israel, have reported on the reactivation of the Hannibal Directive, a military protocol that authorizes Israeli forces to use lethal force to prevent the abduction of soldiers, even if it means killing their own. Though officially rescinded in 2016, the directive appears to have been invoked during the chaos of October 7th. Attack drones were deployed on Israeli bases and civilian areas where hostages were present. Survivors and grieving families are now demanding answers, not just about what went wrong, but about who gave the orders. The implications are staggering. If Israeli forces killed their own citizens, not out of malice, but under a doctrine that prioritizes control over life, then the moral foundation of the state’s response begins to crumble. And yet, the lie persists: “Hamas is to blame. If they had released the hostages, none of this would have happened.” This narrative is not just dishonest, it’s cruel. It erases the decades of occupation, siege, and apartheid that preceded October 7th. It ignores the fact that Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza, cutting off food, water, medicine, and electricity long before any hostage negotiations began. It overlooks the relentless bombing of refugee camps, hospitals, and aid convoys, where thousands of civilians have been killed under the guise of targeting militants. And it assumes the world is too distracted, too uninformed, or too afraid to speak up. But the world is watching. The truth is no longer buried, it’s livestreamed, documented, and archived in real time. We see the starvation. We see the mass graves. We see children dying from hunger while Prime Minister Netanyahu goes on television and declares, “There is no starvation in Gaza.” He says this while 900,000 children go hungry, while over 100,000 women and children face famine-level malnutrition, and while aid seekers are shot dead by Israeli snipers.
