Much of what’s written about the role of Christianity in Third Reich Germany, and about Hitler’s views on religion, is grossly distorted or just plain wrong. The official program of Hitler’s National Socialist Party expressed support for “positive Christianity, and nearly all NS Party members were either Evangelical Lutherans or Roman Catholics. Although Christianity had a favored status in the Third Reich, Germans were free to profess any religious outlook, or none. In many public statements Hitler affirmed a religious and spiritual outlook, and expressed admiration for Christian ethics and traditions. But privately he grew steadily more critical of the Christian worldview. Runetime: 50:44 mins.

Christianity had a favored status in World War II Germany. For example, Christian crosses were displayed in many public school classrooms and other public buildings, especially in Bavaria and other largely Catholic regions. German army soldiers’ belt buckles bore the words “God With Us,” and churches in wartime Germany were packed. In spite of some tensions between religious and political leaders, the vast majority of Germans (including the clergy) remained loyal to Hitler and his regime to the bitter end. Many people mistakenly accept the propaganda view that during World War II the US and its allies supported Christianity, while Germany and its Axis partners were satanically anti-religious. But America’s most important military ally was the Soviet Union, a belligerently atheist state that ruthlessly suppressed religion. Runtime: 50:28 mins.

In this 75-minute address at an IHR meeting in southern California on Sept. 29, 2012, Weber tells what he learned and accomplished during a recent visit to Iran. Among the highlights of his nine-day stay was a guest appearance on an influential prime-time public affairs television show, a meeting with the nation’s President, and a well-received two-hour lecture on “The Zionist Lobby in America” given to a gathering of 800 Tehran university students. Weber also speaks about how Iranians live and work, and the country’s social, cultural and political life. He also takes a look at the history of US-Iran relations, and the prospects for war against the country by Israel or the US.

Address by the IHR director in Tehran on Sept. 6, 2012. Nearly all of the 800 people in the “Friendship Salon” hall are Iranian university students, about half of them women. As he speaks, Weber’s remarks are translated into Farsi. His address, which lasted about two hours, includes a Q and A session. In this talk, titled “The Zionist Lobby in America,” Weber emphasizes the Jewish-Zionist role behind the relentless campaign of smears against Iran, and the many threats by Israel to attack the country. He also speaks about the Jewish grip on Hollywood and American cultural and political life, and about widespread misconceptions in the US about Iran. Runtime: 131 minutes.

To deal with the massive unemployment and economic paralysis of the Great Depression, both the Roosevelt government in the US and Hitler’s government in Germany launched innovative and ambitious programs. Although Roosevelt’s “New Deal” programs helped only marginally, the Third Reich’s much more focused and comprehensive policies proved remarkably successful. Within three years unemployment was banished and Germany’s economy was booming. This remarkable achievement is little known and rarely acknowledged. Runtime: 35:38 mins.

A major factor in America’s ever more obvious decline, says Weber in this insightful, informed and vigorously presented talk, is that the guiding ideologies and operative historical narratives of both conservatives and liberals are fundamentally defective. The often-repeated boast of American “exceptionalism,” he says, is not just ignorant and arrogant, it’s dangerous. Address given at an IHR meeting, Dec. 10, 2011. Runtime: 44:06 mins.

Mark Weber reveals how businesses, schools and agencies block access to the IHR website and other sites hated by Zionists using programs of large webfilter companies that censor and smear the IHR on the basis of a deceitful double standard. Weber and the show’s host also discuss the breakdown of American society and the factors behind the dissolution. Politicians of both major parties, along with those who control our cultural and educational life, have for years been leading America in the wrong direction with harmful views and programs based on false notions about history, society and life.

Host Phil Tourney, a survivor of Israel’s 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, has been active in raising public awareness of the harmful consequences of the US-Israel alliance. Weber and Tourney talk about the Jewish-Zionist grip on the US media and political and cultural life, and about Christian Zionists, who shamefully betray fellow Christians living under Israeli oppression. The two men also discuss Tourney’s new book, and how the leaders of both major parties have betrayed the interests of the people.
