5 January 1919: The German Workers' Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, D.A.P.) was founded by Anton Drexler on a pan-German nationalist, anti-Semitic, anti-capitalist, & anti-Marxist platform, promoting the stab-in-the-back myth; in February 1920, the D.A.P. would be re-founded as the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, N.S.D.A.P.—the Nazi Party).
Lest we forget.
Commentary: This is the six hundred sixty-sixth episode of "The Explorers' Club," № 666. Some months back I had noted on my calendar the founding of this precursor to the Nazi Party as an event we dare not forget in January 2019. Then, as I realized the "Explorers' Club" episode numbers I thought, "Wow, six hundred sixty-six! 666. Maybe I should focus on episode on the Number of the Beast?" My eyes widened when I noticed that entirely without my consciously intending it Episode № DCLXVI lined up with the Nazi founding. I can think of few things more apropos than equating the diabolical Nazi ideology with the Number of the Beast.
