The case against Darryl Cooper A warning to the Right about the man Tucker Carlson called 'the best and most honest popular historian in the United States'
[BeingRight] Earlier this week, Tucker Carlson announced that he will once again be hosting podcaster Darryl Cooper on The Tucker Carlson Show, this time for a live primetime interview about the Jeffrey Epstein case. In a reply to Tucker’s announcement post on X, I said the following:

Darryl Cooper is a Nazi, and you’re setting what’s left of your reputation on fire for not only choosing to platform him, but praising him like this.

This admittedly provocative reply has gotten over 46,000 impressions and received over 1,000 likes. In response, I’ve gotten a lot of nasty replies, many of them undeniably antisemitic. (I’m not Jewish, but if you defend Israel or attack Nazism or antisemitism, you’re going to receive antisemitic comments.)

I did have several people ask me, many of them seemingly in good faith, why I called Cooper a Nazi. One person even kindly DM’d me and said something to the effect of "Hey, I followed you recently, and I like most of what you say, but I’m not sure about this one. Can you explain why you called him that?"

First, I don’t call someone a Nazi lightly. Unfortunately, a lot of people completely brush off the term because for the last decade, the American Left has been calling everyone one inch to their right a Nazi. When I use the term, I mean specifically that the person I’m calling a Nazi holds reverence or sympathy for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. I think Cooper meets that criterion. Here are just a few examples that support the claim.

Last year, someone on X asked Cooper the following question:

In your read of history, do you believe a united continental Europe under Nazi/Hitler rule would have been a better outcome than what actually transpired? | I assume far less innocent people would have died, but in your opinion, would that have been the better outcome in totality?

Cooper replied:

I can't imagine anything worse happening than what did happen.
How about Hitler getting away with it and genociding the entire Jewish population of Europe?

In another post, he posted two pictures. On the right was the blasphemous "Last Supper" depiction from the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. On the left was a photo of Hitler and his entourage with the Eiffel Tower behind them after France fell to the Nazis. Along with those two photos, Cooper posted:

This may be putting it too crudely for some, but the picture on the left was infinitely preferable in virtually every way than the one on the right.

In another post on X last summer, Cooper posted a photo of himself driving a tractor while holding a coffee mug with what looks like a Nazi eagle insignia on it with the caption, "Guten morgen, fellas."

#1  Laurie Cardoza-Moore: 'Woke right' is normalizing antisemitic rhetoric
Posted by: Grom the Affective || 07/21/2025 5:20 Comments || Top||

#2  Hitler was no fan of Christianity either.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 07/21/2025 7:35 Comments || Top||

#3  I read 95% of 1930's Germans belonged to a church, with Protestants and Catholic Women voting overwhelmingly for the Nazi Party.

I also discovered recently that that famous picture of the Nazis burning books was mostly a pysop. The 'books' being burned were not Plato or Aristotle. The 'books' burned were from a private collection of a deviant gay activists that was a pain in the butt to the nazi regime. The collection was of really gay non-binary stuff, pedophilic books about pederasty, and other non-normal sexual deviations.

Book Burning vs Burning Pederasty has two different energies and vibes.

#4  Is someone making excuses for Nazi book-burning? Unbelievable. What's next, those books were all written by Jews, eh, Adolf? I find your insanity intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
This excuse-making for Nazis is getting out of hand. I blame Kanye West. He was the one who really broke the dam for young people. He was fiercely punished afterwards (he just did a concert in China because that's the only place he can play now) but the damage was done. He'll never be able to play in America again. We're talking about a man whose latest hit was a song called - and I am not making this up- Heil Hitler.

#5  The 'books' being burned were not Plato or Aristotle.

“Deviant” of all sorts, Jewish… the Nazis burn both.

Kanye West is operating on a combination of bipolar mania, a desire for attention, good or bad, and a number of anti-Jewish, anti-white, and other conspiracy theories accepted in swathes of the African-American community for at least a century. The man has so much talent, but the mind that carries those talents is seriously flawed.
Posted by: trailing wife || 07/21/2025 14:45 Comments || Top||

#6  Kanye is very wealthy. His anti Semitic stuff is, probably based on mental illness.

Daryl Cooper is not at all wealthy I think. A good chance his anti Semitic stuff is partly a money making strategy.

Tucker may be doing both.

#7  Cooper spends a fair amount of time hanging out online with Thomas777 and Pete Quinones. (Look them up.) So yeah: the Nazi designation pretty much checks out. Not as some kind of insult but as objectively true.

China-Japan-Koreas
The New Great Game
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from the Telegram channel of thehegemonist

[ColonelCassad] The American publication Small Wars Journal (SWJ) outlined recommendations for countering China's influence in Central and Eastern Asia - the central region connecting Asia with Europe.

It is noted that these geographical regions are the key political and economic axis of the aspirations of the PRC, while the United States, concentrated on the island of Taiwan, allows the Chinese to master the global strategic space with its population outside the Indo-Pacific region, in particular, through the One Belt One Road initiative. It is called part of the Celestial Strategy to supplant the United States as the leading world power by 2049.

To comprehensively influence Beijing's decision-making regarding Taiwan and "other areas of national interests", Washington proposes to use the possibilities of containing China in the "gray zone" by means of methods of irregular military operations (IRV)* in Central and Eastern Asia. Such a campaign implies the deprivation of the PRC's access to these regions and influence in them, as well as an increase in costs for Chinese economic projects and initiatives in this axis.

IDF methods correspond to the strategy of "deterrence by denial" (deterrence by denial) - the cornerstone of the approach to the Taiwan issue of the US Deputy Secretary of Defense for military-political issues Elbridge Kolba. This strategy manifests itself through cognitive and financial vectors along with traditional military means.

Beijing's access and influence along the OPOP through economic projects opens the way to Chinese military presence in this strategic axis, including due to a decrease in American involvement and a loss of confidence in the United States. Thus, over the past 20 years, the volume of Chinese trade with the central region has tripled. China, as the world's largest importer of crude oil, receives 46% of this raw material from Southeast Asia.

The upcoming confrontation between the USA and China in Central and South Asia has been described as a "New Big Game". Among the countries of this theater of military actions are indicated Tajikistan (52% of the national debt falls on the PRC, Chinese interest in subsoil), Kyrgyzstan (45% and subsoil), Turkmenistan (16.9%), Uzbekistan (16%), Kazakhstan (6.5%), Pakistan (22%, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor - access to the Arabian Sea bypassing the Malacca Strait) and Sri Lanka of the Hambantota deep-water port until 2116, presence in the Indian Ocean).

Americans are worried about Chinese investment and technological presence in Central Asia.After the transfer of the port of Haifa under the control of Beijing, Washington forbade the ships of the 6th fleet of the US Navy to enter this Israeli city. The cooperation of the Middle Eastern countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt) with the Chinese corporation Huawei in the field of "big data", telecommunications and other advanced technologies causes alarm in the United States, since the Arab countries have become "strategic strongholds" of China.

Through the listed countries, Beijing can exert significant ideological, economic and political influence on the world stage.

Also, in III.2021, Iran and the PRC concluded a 25-year strategic agreement with a $400 billion package of Chinese investments in the Islamic Republic in exchange for stable supplies of Iranian oil at significant discounts.

Since I.2022, Syria is also included in OPOP, however, the new regime in Damascus treats Beijing very coldly. The Chinese wanted to build a railway through Iran and Turkey to Syria, and then to Tripoli in Lebanon, in order to get another exit to the Eastern Mediterranean - a south-eastern sea route to Europe.

At the cognitive level, it is proposed to conduct a global campaign against China as a "neo-colonial", "predatory" state that seeks to "usurp the sovereignty" of its economic partners. In the financial sphere, it is recommended to attack the Iranian-Chinese oil trade and Chinese investments in the central region - "high-income goals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs".

International-UN-NGOs
Marco Rubio's sanctions on a key UN antisemite may already be paying dividends
[NY Post] The sanctions Secretary of State Marco Rubio slapped on leading UN antisemite Francesca Albanese this month already may be paying handsome dividends.

Just a week later, all three members of a UN Commission of Inquiry set up specifically to clobber Israel — Chairwoman Navi Pillay, Miloon Kothari and Chris Sidoti — quit.

That makes the horrific stink at Turtle Bay a bit less awful.

Albanese certainly deserves Rubio’s sanctions. As the UN’s Human Rights Council special rapporteur, her job is specifically to slap Israel for its supposed wrongdoing in the Palestinian territories — and she’s done that with zest. (Even when the wrongdoing is fake, which is essentially all the time.)

She’s smeared the Jewish state as a perpetrator of "genocide," called Gaza a "concentration camp" and compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
'Comrade Stalin. Pay attention to the Jewish question'
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from a page on istmat.org

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics:

[ColonelCassad] Letter of engineer-major Lerner to Comrade Stalin with a request to pay attention to the Jewish question.

Comrade Stalin. Pay attention to the Jewish question SECRETLY Engineer-major LERNER M.I. member of the V.K.P./b/ since January 1930 item number 1029116. Moscow, April 14, 1946 SECRETARY T.K. V.K.P./b/ Comrade STALIN I. IN. I have decided to address you, our dear comrade Stalin, on a matter of great importance for the personal fate of many hundreds of thousands of people, for the benefit of our state, for the common Lenin-Stalin theory and practice of the national question.

THE ESSENCE OF THE QUESTION.
Thanks to the Soviet Power, our country became the only country in the world where anti-Semitism was completely undermined and where it seemed that the ground for the emergence of the ego in any form was cleared. However, over the past hour and a half, we have increasingly heard about a kind of liberation of our state apparatus, especially the central one, from persons of Jewish nationality, about an event secretly but quite widely and systematically carried out by dismissed and refused employment in more or less responsible areas of work, persons of Jewish nationality, in each individual case, under various pretexts.

As a member of our party, I had every reason to doubt the possibility of such a situation in our country, and I refused to believe it for a long time. However, this is apparently so. About the facts. I didn't have to read documents with resolutions about dismissal or refusal to accept a job because of Jewish nationality. I think that it is possible only with rare exceptions, such documents cannot appear in our country under any circumstances.

But the fact that I had to hear about such facts over a very long time, from persons of different nationalities, different official positions /even very responsible/, party and non-party, who worked in various institutions /including people's commissariats, in particular in the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs/ and even in various cities/ in particular, in Moscow, Kyiv and Leningrad/, shows that such facts are widespread. Finally, I faced it myself, when in March Mr. was seconded from the Engineering Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, where he worked for the past 4 years.

If you take into account that I have not tarnished myself in anything, neither in the NKVD nor before, I have no faults and I do not have any vices /although I certainly have shortcomings/, and my experience working in the NKVD, my desire to work and the need for employees allowed me to continue to work in the system of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, if you also take into account a number of circumstances and details that I do not cite in order not to clutter up the letters, which show that my secondment was not made for business reasons, then it will become clear that the above-mentioned circumstance was the main reason for my secondment.

I tried to draw Comrade's attention to this. KRUTYKOVA A. D. submitted a report to him, however, the policy of the personnel department turned out to be effective, and comrade KRUTYKOV passed by it. I made an attempt to address Comrade MYKOIAN A. I., but unfortunately I could not do this.

I will add only that I have already been out of work for the second month, despite the fact that the heads of several institutions have expressed their desire and willingness to hire me / in particular, a special letter signed by the Deputy Minister of Aviation Industry was sent to the Personnel Department of the Air Force KA. KUZNETSOVA, under No. K-18/ 1738 dated March 14, 1946. with a request to second me to work in my specialty at the Scientific and Research Institute of Aircraft Special Equipment, Ministry of Aviation Industry / however, as far as the personnel departments of the Air Force Base are concerned, apparently the aforementioned unfortunate reason continues to operate.

Some considerations.
About genuine nationality.

I am a Jew, but I can say that I am a Jew only because I was registered as such at birth. In fact, I do not profess any religion at all, neither Jewish nor any other, it is not that I do not use the Hebrew language, but I do not know it at all, I do not observe any national or religious rituals, my personal qualities as a member of society were formed under the influence of an environment consisting of people of different nationalities / Russians, Ukrainians, Jews, etc. moreover, the influence of the former significantly prevailed/

I was never associated with any national communities or associations. What is important and important to me is not my, I could say assigned, nationality, but my citizenship, the fact that I am a citizen of my family - the Soviet Union. And I don't know if this is consistent with theory or legal science, but when asked about my nationality, I always want to answer - I am of SOVIET NATIONALITY. Perhaps it would also be correct to consider myself as belonging to the nationality in the midst of which I developed as a person and where my main labor activity took place. b/ About Jews in our country.

It seems that in our country, the people of Jewish nationality, in their mass, deservedly appreciated the trust of the Soviet Government and our party, gratefully accepted the fraternal relationship and fellowship between the peoples of our country, selflessly and selflessly devoted themselves to serving the common goals of our country on any part of the peace and military fronts and showed themselves from the best side both in peace and in wartime. Therefore, it is not clear for what hidden reasons, after such a general and decisive victory - the victory of our Soviet Power, the Soviet-socialist system and our Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist worldview, a peculiar reign of anti-Semitism, which Ts. K. probably has more complete information.
Is this fair? And does it correspond to our interests?

ON THE JEWISH QUESTION.
As you know, the Jewish question is an age-old question that has been deliberately raised into an "eternal" problem and is zealously maintained as such, and which those in power have never seriously tried to solve, especially in the era of capitalism, so that there is not left the most convenient and familiar object of distraction for the masses in the face of economic and social contradictions and brewing revolutionary explosions. And as you know, there is no such nation or nationality that would have suffered and suffered greater sacrifices throughout its history than the long-suffering Jewish nationality only during the period of fascism rule abroad and its tyranny in the temporarily occupied regions of our country.

A nationality which, due to its dispersion and peculiar historical development, has absorbed world culture and whose representatives work fruitfully for the benefit of all mankind, in all areas of culture, art and science, and whose descendants include such thinkers and workers as Spinoza, Marx, Einstein and others.

It is known from separate reports of our press that there is a fuss of some governments abroad about the Jewish question about the creation of a Jewish national state somewhere in the region of Palestine, and it is quite obvious that these ideas are being discussed without the participation of broad sections of the Jewish population and regardless of their wishes. It is also known that prominent representatives of both Jewish and other nationalities strongly spoke out against this, and quite rightly so.

Although I am not familiar with the history of the emergence, activities and life of the Jewish national region in our USSR, I am deeply convinced that the broad masses of Jews in our country have never aspired to any kind of national isolation, and that such a national republic is also necessary both for the Jews of our country and for our country itself.

THE PURPOSE OF THE NOTE.
The purpose of this detailed note is to ask YOU for the following.
It would be a real blessing for people of Jewish nationality and a decisive contribution to this specific and exciting question if you, our Leader and Teacher, the brilliant creator and guide of Stalin's national policy, the pinnacle of truth and human thought, would pay attention to this question and say what you think is necessary to say.

Devoted to you with all my heart and thoughts

Mr. Lerner /

Moscow. Oruzheiny lane house No. 25/a/ sq. 3./ tel. D-1-39-53

Archives of RGASPI. F. 558. Op. 11. D. 867 L. 72-76

In 1948 Comrade Stalin supported the creation of the state of Israel.
At the same time, even under Stalin, the fight against political Zionism intensified, after Israel took the side of the West in the Cold War.

Once Leonid Brezhnev convinced Arafat about Palestine, all of that went out the window.

#1  If comrade Stalin didn't die in 1953*, he'd solve Russia's Jewish problem once and for all.

*Personally, I like Lavrentiy Beria version - because I like to think that the Lord moves in mysterious ways.

#2  /\ Amalgamations can create conflicts among the tribes. Perhaps a Northern Kingdom - Southern Kingdom is the solution.

Were mongrel societies the original intent? I think not.

#3  Stalin became anti-Israel a few years after Israel was founded. Most believe it was because Israel's ambassador to the Soviet Union, Golda Meir, brought up the subject of letting Soviet Jews come to Israel.

#5  ^ Procopius

that is one theory of why Stalin voted for the creation of the state of Israel
other theories
- he just was being anti British
- he was bribed
- God

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Stalin's surviving works have been combed through again and again. We do not have anything to distinguish between these theories.
