Commercializing Hitler

Oh my...

20060821MumbaiHitler01.jpg


MUMBAI (Reuters) - A new restaurant in India's financial hub, named after Adolf Hitler and promoted with posters showing the German leader and Nazi swastikas, has infuriated the country's small Jewish community.

'Hitler's Cross', which opened last week, serves up a wide range of continental fare and a big helping of controversy, thanks to a name the owners say they chose to stand out among hundreds of Mumbai eateries.

"We wanted to be different. This is one name that will stay in people's minds," owner Punit Shablok told Reuters.

"We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different."


Why on earth would anyone want to be different in the way Hitler was different?

Seriously, what's next? Tanning booths made to look like the ovens at Auschwitz?

If they wanted to be different why didn’t they call it “No Jews allowed”

Well, we have a State Supported display about Napoleon Boneparte.  I have a notion to sign the book with:  The French Hitler.  Is there a Che? bar in S. America?

I’m curious to the view that Adolf Hitler had to ethnic indians let alone the various religious practices of the people in the subcontinent.

I can’t imagine he would have been very nice to them.

“We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different.”

if they serve meat, they are just like Hitler. It makes perfect sense to me.

Rob, you should withdraw your statement about the tanning booths, someone just might do that.

Makes perfect sense as Hitler was a vegetarian along with his many other oddities.

He wasn’t, but you can believe whatever you like! It’s the internet!

Robert Payne writes in Hitler: The Life and Death of Adolph Hitler

“Hitler’s asceticism played an important part in the image he projected over Germany. According to the widely believed legend, he neither smoked nor drank, nor did he eat meat or have anything to do with women. Only the first was true. He drank beer and diluted wine frequently, had a special fondness for Bavarian sausages and kept a mistress, Eva Braun… His asceticism was fiction invented by Goebbels to emphasize his total dedication, his self-control, the distance that separated him from other men. By this outward show of asceticism, he could claim that he was dedicated to the service of his people. In fact he was remarkably self-indulgent and possessed none of the instincts of the ascetic.”

Take comfort in knowing that you’re not the first to fall for Goebbels’s propaganda.

BTW: I love the reductio ad Hiterlum!

IF you’re right (one source doesn’t prove it necessarily) it would only because he tried but couldn’t live up to your high standards.

Besides I heard there’s no meat in Bavarian Sausages anyway.

Stalin and Mao ate meat. AHHHHhhh!!!!!!

Really, the logic behind that argument is impeccable.

1. John Doe does X.
2. Hitler did X.
3. Therefore, John Doe supports Hitler.

Watch out bicyclists!!!

Gee didn’t you make pretty much that stupid point when you said:

Laughing my ass off!

THIS guy is probably a muslim India (India has plenty).  His hate for the Jews probably trumps any logic, as with many other Muslims around the world.

Why on earth would anyone want to be different in the way Hitler was different?

LOL

I keep forgetting that I have to always simplify things for The Whistler. Just for you, TW:

if they serve meat, they are just like Hitler. (...)Not because Hitler served meat, of course—only an idiot could possibly think that, a man of so small mental capacity his ability to function in the real world would be severely diminished—but because Hitler killed Jews.

/me would never eat at “Hitler’s Cross”. I wouldn’t know what they were serving on that large dinner dish…

I’d probably call the health inspectors and CSI first if there was one near me…

Who did Hitler try to conqure and why?

Besides his intense intolerance concerning Jews (which even I reject as well as regret) most of the other groups he accused of trechery really were trecherous, dangerous not only to Germans, but to all others——The power behind America and England were the sly ones, the ‘smart ones’, the ‘clever ones’, the wolves in democratic or religous clothing who were a threat to the spiritual and idealistic evolution of humanity while the Russian peasants mobilized for battle through Bolshevism were simply a danger because of their brute strenghth and numerical value which threatened not only the peace and security of Eroupe, but according to Hitler they also endangered India and eventually all Asia for they were barbarians and the color of there skin was not going to save them anymore than for the Masionic Rulers of Wall Street or in Washington.
The so-called Elite by giving the blind masess the opium of religon, and the illusion of democracy, they could get them to sacrifice themsleves in their capitalist wars for their grand Financial Empire.
He was not going to fight this financially, numericaly, materialy superior evil lightly or democraticly, but with no mercy,—-he was no fan of tortour—-he prefered they just be shot on the spot—Jeffersonian style.
He knew this form of battle was what makes winning possible.
Hitler wanted to destroy the force of American Financial Militarism before it got so much power no one can stop it—-as it is today.
Hitler only wanted to colonize peoples who he felt posed a danger to his people—-THE RUSSIANS and their SLAVIC brothers and potencial converts to Bolshevism—very coneniently Hitler needed their land as well for his “Lebensbraun”—I know.
Now the Russians which were a very big force superior in numbers—masses of cavemen—bolshevized—ready for battle.——-This was not India folks; when Hitler compared “Britians India to Germany’s colonization in Russia”—-he was not comparing India to Russia in the spiritual or culteral sense, he was saying that Russians would be there for Germans to expliot economicly, thus he said “India will be our Russia”—“what India is to Britian, Russia will be to us”—He was refering to the size of Russia and it’s many multitudes, and the way the British cruely ruled a Old culteral nation such as India, Hitler would rule this culteraly degenerate mass of base humaniods.
For Russia was in no way anything like India, these snow dwellers were not proginators of culter, they were barbaric Neanderthals lead by superior Jewish masters.
Thus Hitler said that ’ If the “British” leave India the Russians will surly take the atvantage”.
He wanted to save the peacefull and cultered nation of India from such a fate of Mongol attack.
Hitler was only going to treat masses of people who endangered his people like The British treated the Indians, his future intentions toward the Indians themselves are probably better than most people would beleive or even want to know—one of freindship and support in a “Greater India”—-for Hitler wanted every specie to evolve upwards to betterment from the insect world to the animal world and in the human world, he beleived that the futrure Aryans would preserve this righteoius new order where the more capable nations protect all life on earth.


I beleive Hitler honered all nobal races as he honered all nobal species as he honered all nature.
He just beleived that race mixing on vast scales results in the loss of identity and considering the amount of human souls there are to consider I think he was right.
All through his career he never made a piont of oppressing innocent people of color who had done his people no harm.
He looked to avenge the enemy’s of Germany—Slav’s, Britians of colonial Churchill’s breed, and Pig Nation America——-all white.
He did not give a ****....to him they needed an enlightenment.

Churchill defenetly was more racist towards people of color than Hitler…..infact Hitler collaberated with them…he fought for their liberation…Hitler ended The British Empire because of it’s greed and hypocracy.
I’m not saying that he was a champion of the coloered peoples…for sure he was the opposite…but he honered all species and all of nature and he had no designs on the coloered people, he beleived every non-threatening race and specie is entitled to their natrual living space.

We must remember that hitler was the only individual who saw the disastor that was the future of a degenerate mankind.
He warned the world, and the world took him for a crazy, now the world is seeing he was right, and it’s pretty embarasssing.
He may not have been 100% right, but at least 90%.
He cared enough to show the world their dark future.
Nameing a restruant after him is the very least we can do

Hebrew-Aryan Monarch: Sorry buddy, but I don’t think you are right. From what I have read, Hitler blamed the surrender in WWI, when Germany hadn’t even been threatened and were still in France, on a conspiracy partly due to Jews, as well as others. He wanted to avenge this defeat and create a greater Germany. He was a nationalist nut, not a visionary like you claim.
