1. Not familiar with IHIP, but she is particularly clarifying about Kash Patel.

Apparently the Groyper far right has invoked what Hitler's Nazis did, particularly Heinrich Himmler.

from Google's DeepMind AI:

... some Nazis did invoke "Valhalla," although their interest in Norse mythology was mainly a tool to promote their ideology of a "pure" Germanic race. Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, was particularly obsessed with creating a neo-pagan Aryan past and prominently incorporated references to Valhalla and other Norse imagery into SS lore.

However, the invocation of Norse mythology within the Nazi leadership was selective and inconsistent:

Himmler's neo-paganism:
Himmler saw the SS as a modern-day order of knights fighting for the German race, and he pursued his fascination with Germanic mythology with zeal. He renovated Wewelsburg Castle as a ceremonial center for the SS, where he intended to create a quasi-religious space, including a hall for "Valhalla".

Hitler's ambivalence:
While Hitler occasionally used such rhetoric himself—reportedly invoking Valhalla in a eulogy for a friend—he privately viewed the mystical obsessions of some of his subordinates as foolishness. His public persona and rhetoric were often based on a more political, rather than overtly religious, form of German nationalism.

Propaganda tool:
The Nazis appropriated Norse and Viking imagery in their propaganda to mythologize their movement and justify their expansionist goals. They presented the SS as a reincarnation of Viking warriors, and their invasions were framed as a revival of Viking conquests. This was part of a larger effort to construct a fabricated national myth to legitimize their cruelty.

The Nazi co-opting and distortion of Norse concepts like Valhalla created a false link between Norse traditions and their ideology of racial purity.

In pre-Christian Norse mythology, Valhalla was the hall for warriors who died bravely in battle.
For the Nazis, it was twisted into a reward for "racially pure" warriors fighting for the Third Reich.

2. You should check out their podcast.

They are fearless in their condemnation of MAGA and the the band of idiots in Trump's circle.
