In reply to the discussion: Hunter Biden will be on Candace Owen's podcast on Thursday [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(106,601 posts)8. Candace Owens recommends the antisemitic book that was popular among Nazis
Candace Owens urges audience read antisemitic book, asserts Jews controlled slave trade
Political commentator Candace Owens urged her audience to read a 19th-century antisemitic book and accused Jews of orchestrating the transatlantic slave trade and racial conflict between Caucasian and African Americans during her YouTube show over the weekend.
...
And Ive learned whats in that Talmud, Owens continued, holding up an English copy of Der Talmudjude. I encourage other people at home to learn what is in that Talmud so that you know what Ben thinks of you because he doesnt just hate me, he hates you, too, white men. He hates all black people.
...
Der Talmudjude, by anti-Jewish German Catholic theologian August Rohling, claimed that the Talmud commanded Jews to steal, lie, cheat, and kill Christians.
Rohling had repeatedly spread the libel that Jews consumed human blood in murder rituals. The theologians scholarship was cast into doubt during a failed libel suit against one of his detractors, but Der Talmudjude has remained a mainstay of antisemitic texts.
Owens spread other conspiracy theories as well, saying that the American slave trade was controlled by Jews. She called on black Americans to turn their ire on Jews instead of holding grudges against white Americans. The podcast host further indicated the belief that Jews were manipulating different religious and ethnic groups to fight one another.

He wrote polemics against Protestantism and Judaism. Of his anti-Jewish works Der Talmudjude (Münster, 1871) became a standard work for anti-Semitic authors and journalists. It is a faulty abstract of the Entdecktes Judenthum of Johann Andreas Eisenmenger.
The book first appeared when Bismarck inaugurated his anti-Catholic legislation, as a retort to the attacks made by liberal journals on the dogma of papal infallibility and on Jesuitic textbooks.[1] The book was extensively quoted by the Catholic press, but it did not become a political force until the appearance of anti-Semitism, and the Tiszaeszlár Affair in 1883. Franz Delitzsch defended Judaism against the attacks of Rohling. At the same time Josef Samuel Bloch wrote articles in which he accused Rohling of ignorance and of forgery of the texts. Rohling sued Bloch for libel, but withdrew the suit at the last moment. Later on he greeted the appearance of Zionism as the solution of the Jewish question and wrote a pamphlet against Güdemann's "Das Judenthum in Seinen Grundzügen," etc.
...
Der Talmudjude remained a popular text well in to the 1930s. The Nazi publicist Julius Streicher drew on Rohling's arguments in his antisemitic newspaper Der Stürmer.[2]

Michelle Goldberg, New York Times:
This week Charlie Kirks widow, Erika Kirk, traveled to Nashville to meet with Candace Owens, a podcaster who has become the premier purveyor of conspiracy theories about his killing. If the summit was meant to persuade Owens to back off her paranoid and fantastical speculations, it failed. On Thursday, Owens had on her show a man who claimed to have seen Erika Kirk at an Army base the day before her husbands assassination, implying that Erika Kirk was somehow part of a plot against him. That plot also involves, in Owenss telling, the French Foreign Legion, the federal government and leaders of Turning Point, Charlie Kirks organization, all somehow masterminded by demonic Zionists.

This is partly a story about conservatives creating a monster they cant control. Owens, after all, has been saying nutty things for a long time. In 2019 she left her job as communications director of Turning Point not long after arguing that Hitlers real sin was globalism, not nationalism. (If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great, she said, it would have been fine.) Rather than ostracize her, however, powerful conservative organizations cultivated her. Republicans invited her to testify before Congress about why white nationalism wasnt a problem. In 2020 Shapiro hired her at The Daily Wire, his media company, which is where she began her podcast. (They split in 2024 over her increasingly antisemitic views.) Having elevated her in large part for her willingness to say outrageous things about her opponents, people on the right are now surprised by her willingness to say outrageous things about them.
...
If patriots arent in control, it raises the question of who is. Unsurprisingly, some entrepreneurial figures on the right have settled on a reliable answer: the Jews. Owens especially has taken this most elemental of paranoid fixations and turned it into something between a soap opera and a live-action role-playing game. Its necessary for people to recognize how greatly evil these Zionists are, Owens said on her podcast this week, describing them as Trotskyites who employ Soviet techniques of mind control. The implication is that if you reject her, youre falling into their trap.

"at least shes anti -Trump, anti-war" - who gives a fuck what she's claiming at the moment about "war"? Remember, Trump said he was anti-war. He was lying.
I think "the world is listening to Candace" (I'm worried you're on first name terms with her) because that "world" is stupid and bigoted.
"her show has a mystery novel vibe" - for fuck's sake, this is the woman trying to say the French president's wife is a secret transgender woman. The vibe is "bigoted QAnon fanatic".

Owens is genuinely crazy. I don't think anyone can come out well of enabling her.

You mean the woman being sued by both Brigitte Macron and Charlie Kirk's bodyguard for lies isn't reliable?
