How Stephen Miller Became American Goebbels

Groomed by professional bigot David Horowitz from boyhood, Miller may become National Security Advisor.

In December 2012, after Obama was elected for the second time, Stephen Miller, then an aide to Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, received an email from his mentor, professional bigot David Horowitz, which became a starting gun of sorts for the tactics of the 2016 election.

“Behind the failures of Republican campaigns lies an attitude that is administrative rather than combative. It focuses on policies rather than politics. It is more comfortable with budgets and pie charts than with the flesh and blood victims of their opponents’ policies,” Horowitz wrote, adding that Democrats have the moral high ground. “They are secular missionaries who want to ‘change society.’ Their goal is a new order of society—‘social justice.’” He argued that the only way to beat them is with “an equally emotional campaign that puts the aggressors on the defensive; that attacks them in the same moral language, identifying them as the bad guys.”

Horowitz wrote that hope and fear are the two strongest weapons in politics. Barack Obama had used hope to become president. “Fear is a much stronger and more compelling emotion,” Horowitz argued, adding that Republicans should appeal to voters’ base instincts. [emphasis added]

Last night, Mike Flynn—who was infamously National Security Advisor (NSA) to Donald Trump for just over two scaramuccis in 2017—and accused Venmo child trafficker Matt Gaetz, cheered on an Axios report that Stephen Miller is the “top contender” to be NSA to Donald Trump, replacing fired Signalgate patsy Mike Waltz—who has been nominated to be UN Ambassador as a consolation prize.

Stephen Miller is the longest lasting Trump adviser, who has shaped an enormous amount of Trump’s rhetoric and policy. He is also, as I have often shown, a dead-on Joseph Goebbels impersonator, in both substance and style. This is not accidental. Here is a comparison of Stephen Miller at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, an event intentionally modeled on the 1939 Nazi rally in the same venue.

“Think about a system that allows gangs to come into this country to rape little girls. America is for Americans only.”

“Germany for the Germans – foreigners out” was a 19th century slogan used by the Nazis, and frequently quoted by Adolf Hitler.

Stephen Miller was raised in a wealthy Jewish family in liberal Santa Monica, California, living in a $1 million house and going to private schools, but when his father ran into financial troubles, they had to move to a slightly smaller house in a more diverse community and young Stephen had to go to a public school. Fueled by hatred of his new surroundings, he sought out the soothing diatribes of Rush Limbaugh and Horowitz, who reflected Miller’s hatred of anyone who wasn’t white back to him.

But it was Horowitz, who was raised in a communist family and began his career as a self-described Marxist, who took young Stephen under his wing when he heard Miller at 16-years-old on the Larry Elder show raging against the immigrants he felt were polluting his high school. Horowitz remained a mentor to Miller all the way until his death, just last week, at 86.

After getting accepted at Duke, Miller continued to be coached by Horowitz as he raised his profile during the case of white lacrosse players falsely accused of raping a Black woman. But Miller also took on other influences, including professional Nazi Richard Spencer.

After Miller graduated from Duke, Horowitz first got Miller a job with Loony Tunes Senator Marsha Blackburn before recommending Miller to racist Senator Jeff Sessions who shared Miller’s hatred of Muslims, immigrants and Black people.

Jeff Sessions was the first Republican to publicly endorse Donald Trump, and was rewarded with the position of Attorney General, a role that Sessions recused himself from in anything related to Russia, because it was disclosed that Sessions had multiple meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Trump never forgave Sessions for recusing himself and installed Ezra Cohen-Watnick to be a “special adviser” at DOJ in April 2018 before firing Sessions later that year.

Ezra Cohen-Watnick was fired by Mike Flynn’s successor as NSA, H.R. McMaster, in 2017. Cohen-Watnick had been on the National Security Council and cooperated with Kash Patel and Devin Nunes to exfiltrate classified information that would be used to create “Russiagate” and the fraudulent Durham investigation, largely in an effort to exonerate Mike Flynn.

Ezra Cohen-Watnick was also installed at the Pentagon after Trump lost the election, and cooperated with Mike Flynn, Charles Flynn, Kash Patel, Chris Miller, and many others in the attempt to overthrow the government, including the insurrection, which was inspired on January 6th in Washington DC, by a speech written by Stephen Miller.

Stephen Miller, of all the Trump advisers, has somehow managed to stay in the good graces of Donald Trump, when almost everyone else around him has been jettisoned in some way or another. It seems to me this is because Miller is the genuine article, a psychopathic ideologue who truly wants nothing more than an ethnic cleansing of America and is willing to do anything to accomplish it. To Miller, like the Nazis he is so fond of emulating, politics is not about policy, politics is just a way to achieve the power to legally murder people.

Putting Stephen Miller as National Security Advisor would be a sign to the world that the Trump regime doesn’t want to execute ethnic cleansing only in America, but wants to export it internationally. Miller has a decades-long hatred for Palestinians. His desire to “finish the job” in Gaza will become official White House policy. American Goebbels will be in a position to advise war crimes.
