THE SOUND AND THE FUHRER:

Hitler-Inspired 'Trump Youth' Website Is Taken Down (Josefin Dolsten, August 18, 2016, Forward)

A website for millennial supporters of Donald Trump that bore striking similarities to the Hitler Youth movement was no longer online Thursday morning, two days after the Forward broke the news of its existence.

Both the group's name, "Trump Youth," and its rhetoric evoked Hitler Youth, a wing of Germany's Nazi party.

In a video posted to the site, the group's blond leader spoke of having to fight a worldwide "parasite" enemy, which he later identified as "globalists."

Nazi propaganda likened Jews to parasites and condemned them for their perceived lack of loyalty to their "host" countries.

"Our nations have been commandeered by an international criminal cartel and this parasite is feeding on our energy. It's in Japan, it's in China, it's in Germany, it's in America -- now, if we don't throw this parasite off our backs, the world will fall into chaos," said Jayme Louis Liardi, the self-identified leader of "Trump Youth."

In white-nationalist lingo, "globalism" represents the "oppressive" economic elite, often associated with Jews, that is hurting the lower class, said Peter Montgomery an expert on right wing politics at People for the American Way.
