Was Hitler a Zionist?

It depends on what you mean by a Zionist. Hitler did not belong to the Zionist Congress founded by Herzl, nor to any other Zionist, organizations. But neither do Christian Zionists, and yet we call them Christian Zionists.

A better question: was Manuel Mordecai Noah a Zionist? He was a Jewish Freemason, who around 1820 wanted to transport Jews from Eastern Europe to the USA, to Ararat on, if I correctly remember, the Rhode Island (he bought/rented some land there, anyway this did not work out). The idea was that later the Jews would go to Palestine and create new Israel. Some Freemasons supported Noah’s ideas. Was he a Zionist? So long before Herzl? History calls him a forerunner of Zionism. Even before him, Christian Zionists were forerunners of Zionism. So, I would say that Noah was a Zionist, for sure.

Was Zvi Hirsch Kalischer a Zionist? He was a Kabbalistic Rabbi and considered as a forerunner of Zionism. In 1842 he made a prophecy saying that the time of redemption started in 1840. Jews had 100 years time to move peacefully to Palestine. If they would not move by that time, the result would be the same, albeit after much suffering. That means: Jews would be moved to Palestine whether they want or not, and moved in a way causing much suffering. The deadline set my Kalischer ended in 1939. In 1939 Hitler invaded Poland and started to move Jews to the East by force. So, was Kalischer a Zionist? Absolutely, even though he lived before Herzl. And he did foresee a time when Jews are moved by force. Kalischer stated that Adolphe Cremieux (a Freemason) and Rothschild (the one who was a Freemason) will help to make his prophecy to happen. Thus, Kalischer said that Freemasons have a plan to move Jews to Palestine. If they do not go in 100 years, they are to be pushed by force. This is Zionism, historians call Kalischer a forerunner of Zionism.

Zion is the biblical name of Palestine, the Promised Land, and Zionism cannot be separated from Jewish Messianism, even though Herzl claimed that the Jewish people is its own Messiah. Christian Zionists wanted to restore Jews to Palestine because they thought that Jesus can only come after Jews are in Palestine. Christian Zionism started when some really smart guy figured out that Native Americans are the Lost Tribes of Israel. I think this smart guy was Menasseh be Israel, a Dutch Jew. So, if the Lost Tribes were found, it was the end of the times (it was around 1630) and Jews were to return to Palestine. The British had business dealings with the father of Shabbatai Zevi, so Shabbatai probably heard that it is the end of the times from British Christian Zionists. Shabbatai figured out that he is the Messiah. So, he managed to convince half of all Jews, but they he had to convert to Islam, as the other alternative was to lose his head. This is the start of Zionism in Rosicrusian esoterics. They studied Cabbalah and adopted this idea. From Rosicrusians the idea of restoring Jews to Palestine came to Freemasonry.

This idea came to Freemasonry also later, from Frankists. Jacob Frank’s sect (a highly questionable sect to say) was expulsed from Judaism and made a false conversion to the Catholic faith, but several Frankists joined revolutionary Freemasonry (Mizraim and Memphis). You find Freemasons from Jacob Frank’s book under the name Baalakaben (many spellings), but you have to have some experience to realize that the name does mean Freemasons. (It is true, but not obvious, took me lots of time.) Consequently, you assume correctly that revolutionary Freemasonry had the messianic idea that Jews should be taken to Palestine. 

Of course, Jews were to return and before it there was to be the great persecution. Prophecies say that there is a great persecution of Jews and 2/3 or 1/3 dies in it, before Jews return to Palestine. In Zechariah 13:8 God says, 2/3 I will destroy but 1/3 remains and is cleansed with fire and I will call them my people, while Isaiah says even if they are as many as sand grains, only few returns. Notice, 6M is from Zechariah as there were 9 million Jews in Europe and 6 million is 2/3 of 9. You cannot possibly avoid the persecution.

What about Hitler? Hitler spoke in a speech in a way that reminds of Kalischer’s prophecy. Hitler said, if international Jewry will again manage to plunge the world into a world war, the result for Jews will be different: they will be pushed out of Europe. Hitler does not say where to, but this is so similar to Kalischer that we can conclude, to Palestine.

Why was it to Palestine? We know that Hitler did not gas the Jews because demographic calculations (I have done those, they are in the Holocaust controversy category) show that the Jewish death toll in Auschwitz was 300,000-400,000, which is the registered Jewish deaths and the Hungarian missing Jews, and from these figures it follows that Jews were not intentionally exterminated by Nazis. They were transported to the East, to be taken to some new home country after the war.

What could have been the new home country? For sure it was not in Eastern Europe. Hitler says that Jews will be pushed out of Europe. It could not have been Madagascar, as Jews would not have stayed there, they did not want to go there. The island would have had to be a prison with guards. The only possible place was Palestine. Palestine is the place that Hitler’s first peace offer to England proposes: Jews are to be taken to Palestine. Palestine is what the Ha’avara agreement suggest. Palestine is what is implied when Nazis smuggled  a shipload of Jews to Palestine breaking the British White Paper restrictions. Palestine it was in the sentence Hitler has underlined in a book in his personal library: Jews must be restored to Palestine. It was always Palestine for Hitler, but because the Mufti of Jerusalem was so concerned, Hitler did not say it openly later on. 

So, Hitler was not a member of Herzl’s Zionists. But notice that those Herzl’s Zionists did not have any power. It was not Herzl’s Zionists who created Israel. It was pre-Zionists. Rothschild got the Balfour declaration, B’nai B’rith persuaded the USA president to accept Israeli declaration of independence, Rothschild bought land in Palestine, Cremieux started schools there, Jacob Schiff moved Jews from Russia in the Galveston project, B’nai B’rith helped him (this same Jewish banker funded Communists, but his heart was in moving Jews to Palestine, a Freemason).

So, was Hitler a Zionist? The answer is, yes. You just have to understand who were the real Zionists. It was not the Herzl’s organization. It was largely taken Freemasonry and the Nazi party (though opposing proper Freemasons, who had not power at that time) was Masonic. NSDAP was a renamed DAP, DAP was created by Thule, Thule was created by Theosophist von Sebottendorf, and Theosophy is Masonic, a fact that you may not realize, but it is true. Check Helena Blavatsky, check what Masonic and Rosicrucian connections she had and you soon realize that exactly all esoteric movements in Europe at that time were closely connected. That was what we call Masonic, the term does not mean narrowly regular Freemasonry.

Some people ask for an original source, written by a person on a prominent position in the accused organization, that would in some way confirm the claims against the organization. The organization in this case is Masonry widely taken (including Freemasons, Rosicrusians, Martinists, Theosophists etc.) and the claim is that they had a plan to take Jews to Palestine. I give this kind of a source, but whether you can read and understand it, depends on your experience in reading occult texts. The prominent person is A. E. Waite, a leading Rosicrusian researcher of esoterism, and the source is the last chapter of The Holy Kabbalah by Waite. I give the page numbers of an edition of this book by Oracle 1996. The book was originally published 1924. The last chapter is on pages 588-602. It is entitled Conclusions on Jewish Theosophy.

            Occult means hidden. It does not mean satanistic or something evil. Occult texts are written in a way that outsiders would not understand the meaning, but insiders would. Usually there is no special key, one only needs knowledge in order to open the text. It takes a long time and reading of many occult texts before you have such knowledge. There are no textbooks of it and no guides can be found. This it the nature of this ancient hiding method, widely used in obscure Jewish texts, such as the Kabbalah and some prophecies. I will open this chapter for you.

           The chapter is shown occultic by the simple fact that it is much less clear than the other text. The text discusses the holy marriage of a male and a female aspect. This marriage cannot be anything but the marriage of the Messiah with Israel, the one described in the Song of Solomon. On page 598: “Do we not also expect the coming of Messiah”. In the Song of Solomon there is several time the warning, do not awaken love before it is the time. That means, do not start the insurgency before the time. Waite gives the time for the marriage. On page 597 he says: “I think the world might be changed and that a generation to come born of such unions might be children of a risen life”. The book is published 1924, within one generation from 1924 means before 1954. Israel was born 1948. On page 598 “no place like home. The Jew’s Covenant in the flesh is assuredly, in Zoharic understanding, one of God’s most true Covenants”. This covenant gave Jews Palestine and it has a promise that they will return to Palestine.

           That was too easy for an occult text, almost like reading plain text. Let’s give a more representative example. On page 600 a strange sentence: “For us at this day she can be a Principle only, but it is Divine as such; and after what manner – if indeed other than this – she was understood by Sons of the Doctrine during earlier days of their exile through the long centuries of Christendom, we must be content to leave.” The sentence is rather malformed, but the meaning is in the end: Jews must be content to move to Palestine, the days of the exile in Christendom is over.

           So, interpreting this last chapter of Waite’s excellent book is not all that difficult. The interpretation I have given is the natural one, and indeed, the only possible. Here we have Masonry admitting the plan, but surely you understand that uninformed readers would hardly be convinced. That’s one of the goals of the occult writing style, it is fully deniable.
