                        THE SAYINGS OF ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

Led by Israeli billionaire, Haim Saban and his loyal political coterie:  Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Bud Yorkin, Jerry Zucker and James Cameron, a right-wing faction of Hollywood’s staunchest supporters of the Israel Lobby endorsed Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor of California.  This political alliance is supremely ironic for the reasons cited below.

It is little secret that these Hollywood right-wingers strongly support both George Bush’s neoconservative foreign policies and the Democratic Party where they use their financial clout to promote Cheney’s wars in the Middle East against Islamic nations rich in oil.  When approached by his agents, they did not hesitate to cross the partisan divide to support their dear friend, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican admirer of George Bush and a man driven by his naked ambition to emulate his childhood idol, Adolf Hitler, and become like his role model, an authoritarian political dictator.

In a clever but totally transparent series of maneuvers, Schwarzenegger has attempted to distance himself from the unpopular values of the Republican mainstream that rejects:  abortion, gay rights and the theory of evolution.  Self-proclaimed as a “moderate” Republican (as if there were any such thing) Schwarzenegger has designed his image to appeal to the mainstream of Californians who are, like the majority of Americans, tolerant, generous and understanding people in contrast to the intolerant attitudes that dominate the red states in the Bible Belt. 

That said, over the years Schwarzenegger has made a number of statements that reveal:  his lifelong affinity for authoritarianism and totalitarian government; his love of Nazi war criminals; his own messianic fantasies of political dictatorship and his adoration for his childhood role model - Adolf Hitler.

Born into a family headed by his father, a member of the Austrian Nazi Party, Schwarzenegger was inculcated with the values of the herrenvolk – the Nazi theory of racial supremacy of the Nordic and Germanic races.
 

Schwarzenegger indulged his fantasies of the master race and developed his own body into the physical specimen of Aryan supremacy modeled on the Nazi ideal of Germanic racial superiority.

Conan the Barbarian represents a racist literary creation of Robert E. Howard, who promulgated a theory of Aryan supremacy in his writings.  That Schwarzenegger was chosen for the title role confirmed and fulfilled his childhood fantasies of ascension to the physical paragon of Aryan supremacy.

His psychological commitment to the Nazi ideal of racial supremacy committed to the utopian ideal of a state under the paternal authority of an absolute dictator led Schwarzenegger to make the revealing statements below.

"My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. . .  People need somebody to watch over them... Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave." -- Arnold Schwarzenegger to US News and World Report in 1990.

"I was born to be a leader. I love the fact that millions of people look up to me." Arnold Schwarzenegger in Loaded Magazine.

Accusing Schwarzenegger of racism, two black bodybuilders who knew him well quoted him as stating, “If you gave these blacks a country to run, they would run it down the tubes."

When Kurt Waldheim was criticized for having concealed his Nazi past, Schwarzenegger refused to criticize him.  Worse.  He invited the Nazi war criminal to his wedding to Maria Shriver.   

Explaining his curious relationship with Waldheim, Schwarzenegger said, "My friends don't want me to mention Kurt's name, because of all the recent Nazi stuff and the U.N. controversy, but I love him - and Maria does too, and so thank you, Kurt." 

After his father’s Nazi past and his own fondness for racism became part of the public record, Schwarzenegger made a substantial contribution to the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles.  In a transparent gesture, Schwarzenegger commissioned the Wiesenthal Center to produce a report to whitewash his father’s Nazi status in what was nothing less than a clumsy attempt to exonerate himself from his love and devotion to Hitler, the father of the Third Reich and the author of the Holocaust.   

According to Spy Magazine, Schwarzenegger frequently, “enjoyed playing and giving away records of Hitler’s speeches.” 

According to reports from the crew of Pumping Iron, Schwarzenegger confessed his admiration for Hitler.  Much worse.  In October, 2003, ABC News reported Schwarzenegger’s admiration for Adolf Hitler attributing the following quote directly to him:  

"I admired Hitler, for instance, because he came from being a little man with almost no formal education, up to power. I admire him for being such a good public speaker and for what he did with it." 

and his goal of being, 

". . . like Hitler in the Nuremberg stadium and have all those people scream at you and just being (in) total agreement (with) whatever you say."

Moving beyond slavish admiration for Hitler, Schwarzenegger has made no secret of his messianic fantasies.  Here is a direct quote that he has never even attempted to refute:

I didn't think about money. I thought about the fame, about just being the greatest. I was dreaming about being some dictator of a country or some savior like Jesus."

and

“I was always dreaming about very powerful people, dictators and things like that. I was just always impressed by people who could be remembered for hundreds of years, or even, like Jesus, be for thousands of years remembered." Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1977 film Pumping Iron.

A confessed admirer of the world’s most notorious anti-semite and author of the Holocaust, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a man who openly shares his vision of himself as a messianic dictator, now enjoys the generous political support of Hollywood’s Israel Lobby.   

The American author, Charles Dudley Warner (1829 – 1900) once wrote, “Politics makes strange bedfellows.”  Schwarzenegger, Spielberg, Katzenberg, Cameron, Saban and Yorkin have just proven Warner correct.
