Facebook takes down Trump campaign ads with Nazi symbol

[PeteS in CA]

You can be confused but I am not.  He used a symbol that the Nazi's used for political prisoners in Nazi camps.  For people who rescued Jews, communists, anarchist and any political dissidents.  I don't know how much clearer it could be.

Not only did he use it.   He used it to have people sign a petition.  The very large upside down triangle underneath with no explanation of what it meant.  It is not Antifa symbolism.

@Chosen Daughter

Colored triangles are now Nazi symbols? You really believe that absurdity?

Trump chose to use a red triangle to express solidarity with Nazis? Also absurd.

I think you're smarter than that. I suggest you admit that you swallowed ludicrous Troll Bait, take a day off to cool off, and move on to the next Gotcha-Trump:

Well I wouldn't say that I am a genius for recognizing that there was some meaning to a yuuuuuge red triangle under trump team advocacy for petitioning.  I don't know if I have good enough blood lines to figure out that it wasn't an emoji.  That it wasn't the symbol that Antifa uses.  Or to question if it had been why they would put it under the petition message without designating why.  I don't think I need great blood lines to figure out that it would be very odd for the presidents campaign team to put a "shape" at the bottom for no reason at all.  A big one too.


Trump Hails “Good Bloodlines” of Henry Ford, Whose Anti-Semitism Inspired Hitler

Donald Trump’s campaign to change the subject from the coronavirus pandemic took a bizarre turn on Thursday, as the president paused during a speech at a Ford Motor Company plant in Michigan to praise the “good bloodlines” of the family descended from the firm’s founder, Henry Ford, a notorious anti-Semite and favorite of Adolf Hitler.

In an apparent ad-lib, Trump looked up from his prepared remarks — which praised the firm for teaming up with General Electric to produce ventilators and face shields for medical workers — to observe that Henry Ford’s descendants, like the current chairman, Bill Ford, who had introduced the president, have “good blood.”

President Trump: "The company founded by a man named Henry Ford -- good bloodlines, good bloodlines."

And:

Trump has made no secret of his own belief that he inherited everything from intelligence to an ability to withstand pressure through the “great genes” passed on to him by his parents and grandparents. He has also frequently compared the importance of “good bloodlines” in humans to the breeding of champion racehorses, a view that overlaps in uncomfortable ways with those of eugenicists and racists like Ford.

“I’m proud to have that German blood,” Trump once told an interviewer. “You’ve all got such good bloodlines,” Trump reportedly told British business leaders at a dinner in 2018. “You’ve all got such amazing DNA.”

I do have German in my blood as well as Swedish, Irish and who knows what else.  So perhaps I am not smart enough to fully understand why Trump posted a red triangle under a petition.  But I am smart enough to figure out that it was used by the Nazi's to designate political prisoners.

So, multiple generations of Ford family leadership of FoMoCo wasn't what Trump referred to?

Who would have guessed that Trumps German bloodline came from the same German town that the Heinzes came from.   He might be a relative of John Kerry's wife!

Let's knock off the conspiracy theories, lest I have to move this to Alternate Realities.

I'll have to bring this up at the next meeting I have with the CFR.....

[Smokin Joe]

Maybe some Mod should move this thread to the Alternate Realities forum.

Was Euclid a Freemason? Of the Illuminati? Opus Dei? All three, ?

I'm just waiting for the triangle blowback to hit the Amish.

I'm just waiting for the triangle blowback to hit the Amish.   

It’s a matter of time. The ancient Egyptians were big on triangles too, and where are they now?

Which reminds me - 3, 4, 5 (of the right angle triangle) adds up to 12. Divide by 2 and you get 6. June is month 6, Trump was born in June.

Coincidence?

There are a good number of orgs and companies that through the past couple of centuries have used red triangles as or in their logos. IMO, this thread really does belong in the Alternate Realities forum.

I knew that.  Is it possible that the Trump campaign was promoting birth control?  Maybe population control?  Margaret Sanger Eugenics to promote good blood?

[libertybele]

I don't know ... there's just something evil and creepy about the red triangle.

If they aren't busy reading leftist conspiracy theories on their phone while they are driving...

Besides, red triangles weren't about extolling any supposed virtues of the Nazis, so much as denigrating the wearer for the political  reasons already noted. As far as Communists go, I would just as soon see them go-- elsewhere, that is, if they won't see the reason of a Republic and try to demolish my way of life. THere are plenty of other jurisdictions out there where Communism finds sympathy at the highest levels.

Perhaps that's where the Antifa in that day picked it up... Kinda like Americans embracing the European derogatory term 'Yankee' and wore t as a badge of pride.

There is no doubt at all that current Antifa is a resurrection of the old... even down to emblems and symbols. Spittin image.

I don't know if I will go all the way with @Chosen Daughter on that (don't know enough), But the ties are certainly there.

So the reference is acceptable being that Communist were the red designation by the Nazi party?

[roamer_1]

One of the things I DO see in Antifa symbology is a red triangle pointing down, next to a black triangle pointing up... That's 'as above, so below' symbology with occult origins, which is why I noticed it.

Doesn't make it so, but I can see where people could put two and two together...

We used to call communists "Reds" here, too, because the flags they adopted were red in color (USSR, China).

From the "Red Menace" to the "Red Scare" it was so, and only in recent elections has the GOP been denoted by Red, we used to be denoted by blue and the Democrats, now the Communists of the (New) Left, by red.

In the Concentration Camps, the Red triangles denoted "... political prisoners: social democrats, liberals, socialists, communists, anarchists, gentiles who assisted Jews; trade unionists; and Freemasons." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camp_badge

Considering Antifa has its roots, even symbolism, in the anti-Nazi (Communist) street factions of Wiemar Germany, it's fair to associate the symbol with them, and likely they themselves used it as an identifying mark or symbol.

From the same source as I used in the post above:

Black triangle – people who were deemed asocial elements (asozial) and work-shy (arbeitsscheu), including the following:

    Roma and Sinti (Gypsies). They wore the black triangle with a Z notation (for Zigeuner, meaning Gypsy) to the right of the triangle's point.[7] Male Romani were later assigned a brown triangle. Female Romani were still deemed asocials as they were stereotyped as petty criminals (prostitutes, kidnappers and fortune tellers).
    Mentally ill and mentally disabled. Their triangles were inscribed with the word Blöd, meaning stupid.[8]
    Alcoholics and drug addicts.
    Vagrants and beggars.
    Pacifists and conscription resisters.
    Prostitutes.[9][10]
    Lesbians.[11]

The Nazis would combine symbols by overlaying one with the other inverted, so it is possible that both together would denote an antisocial communist, for example.

HA! Ain't that something!

  Yeah. How 'bout that?

BTW, I looked up some of those symbols, and even got a post yanked from book face for posting a link to refute some antifa type's assertion there was no organized N-word (not the long one) group. I posted the link to their party webpage.
In a subsequent post, I pointed out that the previous post had been yanked, and that I had not posted the link to endorse nor support the group, but to show, they, indeed, existed. I then commented it shouldn't be too hard to find for someone so smart as they were, and noted apparently only communist links were to be tolerated.

   I wouldn't expect you to.  I in no way support Antifa but Trump should clarify why he used the symbol.  It is not a symbol of the Antifa.  He didn't just put a huge inverted triangle because he likes shapes.

[roamer_1]

It amazes me how they're just doing it all over again.. I mean dusting off the exact same play books, to include barely changed symbology, and nobody knows it.
