” The Nazis...............had done their work well. The years of tyranny had robbed people of the will or capacity for independent thought.The Germans, a highly intelligent and educated people, lived under Hitler in an intellectual fog. The propagandists had beaten into their heads one point of view. The suppression of free expression, the crushing of dissent left no place for alternative ideas to circulate. People went about perpetually puzzled, uncertain what to believe, distrusting their own judgement.” Piercing the Reich by Joseph E. Persico , pg. 86
I see the same thing happening in America today. We are ignorant if we do not think history doesn’t repeat itself. There is a Great UNREST and I am afraid it will soon erupt. Our culture is practically destroyed and still the uncomprehending dream on.
Bump. TBH....with the crap I’m dealing witb from my kids and hubby...they’ll ne the first to turn me in.

It is strange to me why the glaring parallels between Hitler’s Germany and what is happening in America today are not covered by some media somewhere. It is like our freedom of speech does not go there. The latest thing is the attempt to erase and cleanse our history through flag burning and destroying monuments. Our history has already been cleansed in public schools and the latest madness is expanding that. Hitler attempted to erase history, as well, as he ushered in his new Germany, complete with health care for all which, of course, included gas chambers for those he founded inconvenient. In America, those would be the Christians. I believe, regarding the mental fog too many Americans are in can be explained, first through the dumbing down of our population but also, through the widespread use of narcotics which numb the frontal lobes of the brain. It is science and lots of common folks are on narcotic pain killers in the aftermath of surgeries, etc. I have seen friends who are good people become much different after making those drugs a part of their lives. History records that disease has changed it’s course at times... I believe that legal drugs, street drugs and alcohol have really been influential in changing the course of America. She is drugged literally, “out of her skull”. And, people in high places are bound to be a part of that, as well. It is a lethal mix. People with numbed consciences will do horrible things if not stopped.
