Antelope Hill's convenient editing of a Hitler speech

I can't possibly imagine why they would have removed that...

Over the weekend, pro-Nazi publisher “Antelope Hill” was a sponsored vendor for Refuge Church in Ogden UT’s “new christendom conference”. At this event they distributed advertisements for “pro white” businesses which included promotion of “cosmotheism” as well as Nazi/SS jewelry and book stores that distribute books that claim that black people are “subhuman”. The individual who was running this booth is pretty clear about his beliefs online:

Aside from the garbage in the other books they were actually selling at the conference, many defending Ogden have presented Antelope Hill’s WW2 related publishing decisions as being sober-minded historic retrieval.

This is false, and their book of “the essential speeches of Adolf Hitler” contains an example of it.

This compilation (purportedly) includes the famous and early Hitler speech “Warum sind wir Antisemiten?” (1920) beginning on page 25. In the middle of this speech, Hitler goes on a rant where he levies the accusation that the Jews™ had used Christianity to destroy the Roman Empire (he adored the Roman empire) and claims Christianity was a subversion spread primarily by Jews™:

“Now we also know of the same process in Rome. We know that it was precisely the Jew who made use of Christianity — not out of love for Christianity, but partly only from the realization that this new religion above all rejected earthly power and state authority and recognized only a higher, otherworldly lord; that this religion had laid the axe to the root of the Roman state, which was built upon the authority of officials. And he (the Jews) became the bearer of this new religion, its greatest propagator, and he (the Jews) used it not in order to become Christian himself — he could not do that at all; he always remained the Jew — exactly as today our socialist of Jewish race never lowers himself to the worker, but always remains the master and only feigns being a socialist.”

Phelps, Reginald H. “Hitlers ‘grundlegende’ Rede über den Antisemitismus.” Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte 16, no. 4 (1968). Same point about Christianity causing the fall of Rome by Hitler also recorded in the “Hossbach Memo” November 5, 1937.

Antelope Hill omits this section entirely from their translation of the speech.

Omissions are admitted by Antelope Hill, supposedly for the purpose of brevity.

I can think of other reasons why this section of the speech was removed.

I’d imagine you probably can too.

Don’t stop noticing. 😉
