Poor, Poor Lamb & Lynx...

Having heard about the Nazi Pop Twins awhile ago (about the time their Montana neighbors were protesting them), I really couldn't wait to watch this documentary and hate them. Turns out... these girls didn't stand a chance. Pushed into show biz by a mother who felt there exists different definitions for the word "racist" ("my definition and everyone elses"), they recorded songs at 11 years old that have earned them hatred and confusion... And now at 14, well, they are protective of their mother, conflicted about the fact that they do not believe what they have learned their whole lives and just plain lost...

God, as adults, as parents- we have so much power. And children just want to be seen and loved and feel safe. It is not these girls who are a "threat to society" as they have been called but the selfish people who have forgotten their responsibility. And selfish people just plain piss me off. We have a responsibility to our future and these children are it. (I don't mean to sound all Whitney because Lord knows, Bobbi Kristina is going to be a mess!) But as I watched every shot of these girls, whose very essence was crumbling under the weight of their mothers hatred.... I gotta be honest, I could have happily kicked her in the teeth myself. And then given her a hug because they filmed her father as well. The ties that bind....

I don't know that the show will ever air in America... particularly as it is balanced, open minded journalism with close-ups of imperfect people who are not portrayed as monsters but given a chance to reveal that they are broken... whether they mean to or not. (and American journalism don't play that way!) But here is the article about the show and if you can find it on youtube or whatever, it is so worth the watch. If only to remind us how influential we truly are to those children that we are connected to. And at the end of the day, if we behave selfishly and irresponsibly toward them, they will hand us the same and then they will hand it to their children. And isn't that simply just crazy making? The most disturbing part of the whole hour, for me, was watching the twins' sister- 3 year old, Dresden, shout "white power" to get to wear a bracelet that the Mom was pushing.....
the ties that bind...

Nazi Pop Twins is a one-off, one hour documentary where filmmaker James Quinn investigates the controversial American pop band Prussian Blue, whose teenage twin girl stars have made headlines across the world with their white nationalist music and as poster girls of neo-Nazism.

Prussian Blue , named after the chemical residue from Holocaust gas chambers, are 14 year olds Lamb and Lynx Gaede who with their long blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes aren't your typical teeny boppers – they're white nationalists.
Californian, but proud of their German ancestry, the pop duo have been performing white nationalistic songs before all-white audiences since they were nine.
Since their arrival on the pop scene, Lamb and Lynx have gained thousands of column inches and ignited global outrage across the world with their very own brand of pop in which they sing the praises of Rudolph Hess, promote holocaust denial and dream of a White America.

Filmed over a year, Nazi Pop Twins follows James as he is invited into the home of the Gaede family where he aims to discover the secrets of the twin's notoriety and the motivation behind their controversial music.
As the family allow James and the cameras into their lives, he discovers some disturbing truths beneath the happy family image that determined mother/manager April likes to project. Is she, in fact, just using Lamb and Lynx as a mouthpiece for her own extremist views?
