No Cross or Angels on the Trump Family Monument in Lutheran All
Faiths Cemetery in Queens New York.
Emphasis of course on the “all faiths” part for the Trump Family and
their German roots and Fred Christ Trump Sr.’s love of the Nazis and Klu Klux
Klan, I find it strange that a blank round disk at the top of that granite
stone is pretty much what it seems to be – the Sun.
Curious that immigrants like the Drumpfs (Trumps) who got here
half a century after my ancestors got here and who fought in the Civil War to free
the slaves, that these probably originally Lutheran immigrants, should revert to pagan
worship of the Sun. But hey, that is their first right amendment last I heard. This is America.
The worship of the sun by the Trumps no doubt is related to the
religious pagan revivalism of the National Socialist Party in Germany in the
1930s and 1940s. That Chancellor Hitler’s Uniform cap had the Sun symbol
embroidered on that cap below the German eagle and swastika.
Along with revived Pagan rituals on the Summer Solstice
worshipping the Sun, the Nazis revived pagan Sun Worship as an alternative to
western civilization’s Christian symbols and ethics etc.
The Nazis allowed the formation of a new religious group, the
so-called Deutsche Glaubensbewegung or ‘German Faith Movement’. This was
actually a coalition of paganist groups which were united largely by their
reverence for the German Volk, and their hatred of the Jews. Members of this
group wanted to replace elements of Christianity which they perceived as
deriving from Judaism with pre-Christian Germanic beliefs. Worship of the sun
was central to their doctrine and practice. They celebrated festivals based on
the astronomical calendar, wearing cloaks and coarsely woven dresses, and
carrying torches. The most well-known of these paganists was Erich Ludendorff,
former commander of the German armies in the First World War, who, since taking
part in the failed Nazi Putsch of 1923 had busied himself with producing
literature attacking Jews, Freemasons, and Jesuits.
