Oh fuck, no way.
Ok, I read thenlink and the bassist was an opely total piece of shit before joining the band but I didn't see anyhing about the AoB songs being hidden propaganda or the rest of the band's history. Where does the speculation come from?

That was my first exposure to the theory, I've never been able to confirm nor deny it conclusively, especially since cracked.com back in those times was only mostly satire. Like 99% of the pieces were satire, and then they'd publish something that wasn't satire, and this could be a good example of that. Either way, I bought their CD way back when.
That seems completely serious and not satire at all.
Since I never saw the videos, my assumption was that 'wants another baby' was wanting to sleep around with multiple partners as in 'I love you baby', not having a literal baby. The six pointed stars and the cradle is pretty fucking clear it is about a Jewish woman sleeping around to have multiple babies, and yeah that is apparently one of those 'Jews are taking over' racist stereotypes.
Now I'm guessing that the Sign is a swastika.
Thanks for the link, I'm gonna go throw that album in the trash and feel like a jackass for not catching on earlier.
