Huge JP fan here (though I haven't listened to him much lately - the IDW has become as a whole very cringeworthy to me now). I have never seen this before.
In his defense, publicly speaking about the JQ is risky, especially for such a large public figure. Even if he answered thoughtfully and in good faith, it would be taken out of context and him and his family would recieve 1000x more hell than they've already received. Would you talk about the JQ if you were JBP? I am not sure if I would.
I'd probably be more willing to say "I can't honestly answer that without risking my loved ones" instead of just sidestepping it entirely when it's central to 90% of what he talks about. He constantly brings up the last century, but it's always the Nahzeeees, and virtually never the communists.
Ah, that fills out the picture. I really hope 200 Years Together gets fully translated one day. I'm on Vol 2 out of 3 of The Gulag Archipelago and I'm certainly interested in what else he had to say, even if he wrote it far after the events had transpired.
He's most likely not, but there's things that get people suspicious. I think the biggest thing is that he wont call out the jew. Here's the clip most people who call him a jewish shill post.

Ok then.

Wrong, he talks about the communists as much if not moreso than the nazis. I have watched all of his lectures and many of his interviews.
