This pull-quote from an out-of-print from an historian who interviewed average Germans in Germany about how they could support a genocidal dictatorship from 1933 to 1945.

I find this pull quote most alarming, because in my opinion, this adroitly illustrates how most Americans and most posts I am reading here on FR are accepting this fundamental transformation from a republic to a fascist oligarchy now ruling us.

History repeats, because we forget and choose to ignore history, thinking that kind of thing cannot happen here. Yet the voices from the past not only warn us, they are screaming at us that it is already here, and we refuse to recognize it.

Mostly because we set aside our principles for expediency. We lie to ourselves that tomorrow will be the same as it was yesterday, and we go through the delusional exercise of practicing insanity by telling ourselves we will fix it the next election cycle by simply electing more of the same.

The German people did not recognize nor care that they lost their Republic, and apparently - neither do we Americans at the end of 2014.

Change the anti-semitism towards Jews to anti-Conservatism today and you can see that the skids are already greased for a ‘cleansing’ of those the State say are a thorn in the side of society.

I care, you care, most here care.

However how many of those will sacrifice their life, their families, their well being, and livelihoods to turn it around?
Dying on their feet instead of begging on their knees?

It only takes a few good men to stand up against the horde of evil. Where are they? See my tag-line.

I recognize it- that's why I call them demonazis.

The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the holidays.

That's a laugh!

CWII Spark Ping — “The world you live in - your nation, your people - is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed.”


This is from a historian who interviewed Germans about the `33-`45 timeframe.
