"No Tab Pete Punches Down: Hitler’s 1942 Pivot as Hegseth’s Domestic Agenda
(. . .)
The 'myth' of Rommel is a perfect example. Montgomery broke him by November 1942 and he was flown out of Tunisia in March 1943 with Torch closing from the west. The arrogant, impatient Nazi general was outsmarted and outclassed, losing badly. For two more years he was used a propaganda asset, until the regime demanded he commit suicide and staged his state funeral as killed by enemy wounds.
What followed for three and a half years was a regime that could no longer win a battle against an army, so it instead punched down like a bully who fixated on people who could not fight back. Sound familiar?
Europe-wide extermination was on the table by December 9, 1931, when the Münchener Post printed the Nazi party’s leaked plan for the Jews and its own word for the end state, Endlösung. The Nazis answered by destroying the paper and sending its reporters to Dachau. Historians who date the 'decision' to autumn 1941, at the peak of 'perceived victory' propaganda, are dating the moment the regime believed it could carry out what it had already published.
(. . .)
On August 21 Hegseth’s Pentagon fired the editor of Stars and Stripes for insubordination after he called censorship a red line, four months after removing the ombudsman Congress installed to keep brass out of the newsroom. The paper that prints the plan gets shut first. Shocking but true fact, I have found zero Germans today who say they have heard of Münchener Post, or why Hitler called it a poison kitchen (Giftküche) and sent the publishers to concentration camps.
Pete’s purged Pentagon has performed the first two Nazi platform procedures in Iran: no fire discipline, 'max lethality', and a depleted magazine.
The third procedure is on the domestic side, and it was prepared before the Iran war. It was clearly Nazi doctrine as well, in preparation for the punching down that comes next.
In 2025 the administration sent 7,000 troops into American cities over the objections of their governors, put active duty Marines into Los Angeles during the immigration crackdown, and told the generals at Quantico that American cities were the training ground.
(. . .)
The obvious hurdle is the November election. Trump said on May 12 he would not rule out troops at polling places. Hegseth, asked in April whether he would follow an order to seize ballots, called the question a 'gotcha hypothetical'.
It’s not a hard question, yet no tab Pete struggled to answer. Federal law since 1865 bars armed federal forces at the polls except to repel armed enemies of the United States, an exception no president invoked even during two world wars."
