The introduction of so-called porno scanners at Americas airports and the egregious pat downs of airline travelers have turned every American into a German Jew. Instead of dehumanizing and demeaning one segment of the population in order to pave the way for the Holocaust, all airline travelers are being treated like German Jews by our government for our own good to keep us safe from terrorists on airplanes.
The TSA now considers every American a potential enemy of the state, because any one of us may be carrying a bomb aboard an airplane, despite the fact that young men from the Middle East perpetrated the 9/11 attacks.
Hold on, say TSA officials and their lackeys in Congress and in the media, Our federal government is not out to harm us let alone kill us like the Nazis did to the Jews; our government needs to conduct aggressive measures to protect us on all commercial flights from potential terrorists. That is the party line.
I can understand objections to those who point to Nazi Germany and warn that this is what current day America is about. But I disagree with this objection.
The ultimate horrors in Nazi Germany were, indeed, much more terrible than anything close to what has occurred so far in America. But one should do more than only consider just the ultimate horrors of what went on in Nazi Germany. One must think about the road that was traveled by the Germans to get to that point.
I believe one of the most serious misunderstandings about totalitarianism is that it arrives as a full package that requires no assembly. That it is put on the people, like a winter coat. All at one time, and in full view for all to see.
This is a grave misunderstanding.
I often wondered why more Jews didnt flee Nazi Germany. The answer did not come to me until I saw Roman Polanskis important movie, The Pianist.
In the movie, Polanski demonstrates how many Jews were simply one step behind. When Nazi Germany limited how much money a Jew could have, instead of leaving the country, many Jews debated where they should hide their money. When Jews were required to move to certain parts of the city, many Jews simply focused on how to find the best place to live, instead of leaving the country. And then, of course, eventually it was too late to leave the country.
Would some Jews, perhaps a few, have listened and benefited from early warnings of fringe voices about dangers? I think so. Would it have made sense to object to the Nazi limit on how much money a Jew could hold, and thus put at least a speed bump in the way of the Nazis? I think so.
No, they havent pulled up the trains in America, yet. But, when the trains do pull up, it is too late.
Its clear what totalitarianism looks like and when I see it in America, I am going to object loud and clear. Whether it is groping TSA agents, or spying SEC agents. For it is those first steps where the battle needs to be won. Dehumanization in Germany, as Murray Sabrin points out, came step-by-step.
Dehumanization, whether it is groping or limiting how much money an ethnic group can hold, is still dehumanization. Its the same road. We all know where that road led to in Nazi Germany. Maybe we can learn from history and stop the US from heading any further down that road.
Do my cries of warning put me on the fringe? Yes, they do. But it is a fringe group that I am proud to stand with.

America! It's about
That's just what Hitler would say!
certainly makes a valid point
What if we show up at the TSA with a Star of David pinned on our coat, and a tatooed number on our forearm?
As described in Shoah, upper class Jews were transported in luxury trains and played cards with each other on the way to the death camp.
When they arrived on the platform a camp trustee whispered to one of the new arrivals about the true nature of the camp.
The new arrival snitched to a guard that the camp trustee was "out to cause trouble and anxiety".
The guards hauled the trustee away from the platform out of sight of the new arrivals and immediately shot him.

German civilians were duped/doped/dumbed down to elect Hitler.
Same goes for everybody that voted for Obama.
German civilians and their heirs have been humiliated with guilt trips since WW II.
Should the same guilt be placed on everybody that voted for the Kenyan?
The aim is world imprisonment and over time, the misery will eclipse the Hitler atrocities.
Those stupid Obots have two years to wise up and rectify their errors.
Sarcasm?

And this is exactly what you see in so many of the tsa threads. So many making light of it all - only finding ways to have a little fun with the tsa, play with their minds, make a game of it all — instead of facing this enemy head on, dealing with it directly so as to defeat it!! so the innocent children, women will not be left to deal with it. What kind of men would abandon their nation's defenseless, innocent children, leave them alone with a sexual predator, only worrying about themselves? Well not a real man. A real man with the love of God in him would rise up so fast, consumed with nothing but destroying anything that would dare to touch his children or the women in his life. I think more men are upset about it then we are lead to believe -- but still there are so many men who's minds have been brine and pickled in porn for so many years, their conscience dulled, they could care less about a sexual assault on the women/children of America. They have been sexual assaulting women/children every time they have looked at porn basically so - it ain't gonna register.
At most, obama duped two voters inti voting for him.The rest voted for him because of his promise to use the power of the government to steal money and goods from their rightful owners and give it to them. Come election day 2012, every bastard that voted for the sob will vote for him again.
This one of the most absurd postings that I have read on FR, and that is saying something. This comparison to things we do not like with Hitler and the Jews is getting old. It is intellectually lazy and dishonest. As much as I loathe what the TSA is doing, it bears little resemblance to what Hitler was doing to the Jews. Going through a pat down hardly makes anyone a German Jew. I am neither a German nor a Jew, but comparing what the TSA is doing with the holocaust is to belittle and demean what the Jews suffered under Nazi Germany.
Well, given the department of homeland security’s opinion of those opposed to the left’s tyranny, I would say that some of us are more “Jewish” than others. And, I don’t mean that in the religious sense either.
Fact is, the US is Germany, 1938. And conservatives are the new Jews. A situation that was pointed out by another freeper several years ago.
Oh, I agree - we're not to the equivalent stage of the Holocaust - yet. Give the national socialists time. The pieces are falling in place, and the direction is clear.
This thread is worse than Auschwitz!
Conditioning...We’ll get used to it...Along with a lot of other things we never imagined we would put up with...

You'll get a cavity search no doubt.
When the foreign occupier employed the phrase 'fundamentally transforming America' two
years ago, that's precisely what he meant. Zer0 has no intention of going quietly.
