I have nothing substantive to add. I just think it’s funny that the authors last name is “Kaiser.”

History Unfolding - Are We Poised for another Third Reich?

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life.

While I have the same feeling as this guy does, it sort of bothers me that he misrepresents who he is. He would seem to be a physics professor at MIT, which is nothing to be ashamed of, but not exactly what one would guess from the words quoted above.

ML/NJ

Ja, Herr Kaiser,
You need to add into your landscape painting the effect of him supporting the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt and him pushing old borders on a little in defensible Israel. His support of Islam in general right down to trying to change the history of America by trying to tell Americans that the founding fathers had ramadang dinners in the White House....

It would be the 4th Reich then...

Seriously, why is everyone so obsessed with the Nazis? History, and even recent history, have given us dictatorships and Governments just as bad, or far worse.

Sounds like this guy has been inside Obama’s head. Hope he took a good long soapy hot shower when he got out of there.

...”but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.”

Some people want to live to be able to see the future while others just want to live to be grandparents.

‘tis odd that $2 trillion has dissipated from the public and no one is much concerned about it.

Thoughts similar to this article crossed my mind when reading about Anders Breivik’s shooting in Oslo, and how there are some parallels there in the strong appeals to nationalism, his imprisonment (where presumably he, like Hitler, will continue to write) and the fact that it seems he’s working with others who share his vision. I think places like Norway are the places to watch for things like this.

First post, btw.

This is a hoax. The alleged author denies that he wrote it.

"We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?"

No we don't. Most of the people who defaulted lost their jobs or had an income reduction. The vast majority of them could have paid the loans off if the economy had not crashed.

"We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has “loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. "

This is probably like the $16 Trillion that was loaned over 3.5 years. Most of it was overnight loans that settled the next day with interest. If you add up the nominal amount of one day loans, it sounds like a huge amount over the course of a few months. But the amount outstanding at any one time was a fraction of a percent of that amount.

The worse thing about the situation we’re in is that my 90y.o. German mother has flash backs in the middle of the night and calls to tell me about it all.
She never talked much about it when we were growing up, but now...the tales she tells.

Something is in the air. And it has been unfolding for a lot more than a few decades.

The trajectory of history is to the end times described in the Bible.

A world attempting to unify, but still at war with itself. A world leader who sets up as a god. A world system that you either join or die.

It’s going to be a lot worse than what happened in Germany.

Maybe this is a hoax, probably it is.

However there are several mega-trends at work here. One is the unwinding of a massive credit bubble which apparently was also true at other times in history such as the 30’s and also the French Revolution.

Another is the passing of the baton in terms of economic superpower status - something that we’ve also seen in the past.

Another is the competition for natural resources that are seen to be increasingly threatened. We’ve also seen that movie before.

Another is the increasing role of race in today’s political debate.

Finally you have a government that is ambitious, has a tenuous relationship with the truth, and is supported by a propagandizing media.

While we’ve seen each of these megatrends before, what is scary to me is that what we are seeing now is that they are all converging.

Regardless of the authenticity of the original post, I find this convergence very troubling.
