Hitler was shrewd, not so hypnotic, new German biography says
One America News Network ^ | November 7, 2015 | Madeline Chambers

Recent works on the Third Reich have placed more emphasis on the social and political climate that led to the rise of Nazism after defeat in World War One and crippling reparation demands.

Soon after World War Two, Germans clung to the belief that they had been held hostage by a criminal gang led by the charismatic Hitler, bent on conquering Europe and exterminating Jews.

Das Die Obama.

Hypnotists will tell you, that they can't make you do things you don't want to do, or believe things you don't already believe, or WANT to believe.

Liberals WANT to believe the bullshiite that Obama preaches, so they'll happily go along.

Were he alive, A. Hitler would be the standard bearer of the DemomKKKrat party in 2016. Actually, his polices and that of fellow socialist Bernie Sanders vary little, if at all.

They try to promote it as fairness and being civil.
They ignore cause and effect.

He would have supported the Muslim Brotherhood and all damage to the U.S. just like Barry.

“Hypnotists will tell you, that they can’t make you do things you don’t want to do, or believe things you don’t already believe, or WANT to believe.”

Sounds like overindulging in alcohol. Some people see a drunk who is violent or acts like an idiot and say, “That’s not like him, it’s the whiskey talking, he’s not like that at all.” In truth that IS him, the real him that he has been hiding while sober.

I think the Dem voters see the benefits flow and don’t grasp the damaging effects at all.
They are both politically active and ignorant.

Actually he supported the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. There are pictures of them meeting in Germany. It is said that the Grand Mufti advocated for the demise of the Jews (Jooos) - to push them into the sea. Hitler in return would take Islamic soldiers into his army. This is known but not that well known. Hitler also believed in the occult and only used religion when he could direct and guide the masses. It was his regime that declared Atlantis was the birth of the Aryan race.

“Shrewd” can be dangerous to those who are in the vicinity of the one acknowledged to be the “shrewd” one.

Sly, cunning, duplicitious, such a person takes advantage of another’s timidity, or lack of knowledge, or simple naivety, to compel some great injustice to be visited upon other parts of the public.

“Predatory” might be another adjective that applies.

Longerich also seeks to debunk the theory that Hitler had an irresistible charisma that captivated Germans, arguing it was largely artificially constructed by the Nazi propaganda machine which pumped out pictures of entranced fans at rallies.

Sure, the Nazis were good at propaganda displays. But many, many Germans were captivated and followed him blindly. One doesn't exclude the other.

He may also be setting the bar too high. Most Germans weren't in a state of constant ecstasy about Hitler, but they were inspired enough to believe in him and to follow him to their doom. Wasn't that bad enough?

There was no daylight between the Nazis and Commies. Both were anti-God abortionists and pro-sodomy. The Pink Swastika book exposes the homosexuality that was rampant in Hitler’s Germany. Lenin was clearly a sodomite and mostly likely a pedophile just like mohammed.

If I were living in Weimar Germany, I might
be tempted to give a “strong horse” a whole
lot of leeway in getting my country out of
the mess Versailles forced it into.

“There was no daylight between the Nazis and Commies”

Not sure what you mean by “no daylight,” but ...

Because Nazism co-opted the popular success of communism among working people while simultaneously promising to destroy communism and offer an alternative to it, Hitler’s anticommunist program allowed industrialists with traditional conservative views (tending toward monarchism, aristocracy, and laissez-faire capitalism) to cast their lot with, and help underwrite, the Nazi rise to power.
