January 6 was America’s Reichstag fire

Though it didn’t work as well for the Democrats as it did for Hitler.

Hitler was originally democratically elected — not by a majority, but rather by a plurality, as allowed by the Weimar Republic’s constitution. It was a turning point for all of world history.

The Nazis, being ambitious tyrants, leapt at any possible opportunity to expand their grip on Germany. So, on February 27, 1933 — just four weeks after Hitler was sworn in as chancellor — the fire that struck the German parliament building was at least partially blamed on Bolshevik agitators. Sound familiar?

Germany’s then-president, Paul von Hindenburg, issued a decree suspending all civil liberties in order to facilitate the rounding up and disposal of communists. And thus, Hitler became an absolute dictator.

Today’s American Democrats have not been quite so lucky. Hitler’s Germany was rife with a profound sense of betrayal, since the German people had been continuously told by their government that they were winning the world war. This was added to the subsequent misery that came with Weimar’s catastrophic inflation — which was ostensibly intended to screw the Allies out of their reparations, which were defined in German marks. This is well described in Paul Johnson’s Modern Times, in the chapter aptly titled “Waiting for Hitler.”

The days after January 6 have seen anything other than a leftist surge in the USA. How so? Short answer: This is America, land of the free. No two-bit public official can suspend our civil rights, to say nothing of the obvious political incompetence that has infected today’s Democrat party. Also, we have not been as softened up as the German people had been in the early thirties. However, the possibility of some staged event to push us into surrendering our personal sovereignty remains in the background.

The COVID rules were the trial run.

It was especially the language that the Democrats used for January 6 that made it suspiciously like a false flag power grab. They called it an “insurrection”, not a protest. They did everything but declare martial law to make sure they could hunt down and jail anyone even remotely associated with it, with NO due process.

I should have thought of this but didn’t.

The most suspicious thing of all was that the FBI was able to track down EVERY J6 person they wanted via the cell phone pings off the cell towers with the EXCEPTION of the person who left a pipe bomb by the DNC headquarters in DC. The agent in charge of the FBI DC field office explained that was because of all the THOUSANDS of cell phones tracked only ONE had their data somehow “corrupted.” That of the pipe bomber.

Pam Bondi should be investigating all of these people who orchestrated the J6 “insurrection”. These people were involved in an overthrow of constitutional law. They should be dragged into court behind accusation of a real insurrection.

Right there I stopped reading. Thanks to the author for not wasting my time.

NOT ONE PERSON HAS OR WILL BE ARRESTED OR EXECUTED FOR JANUARY 6th. NOT ONE. This president has no sense of urgency, no competent legal team, no help from CONgress, and no personal understanding of what is stake here. It is clear. He's too busy praising Albert Bouralnd of PFIZER!!! maKinG DeALz!

In order for the Reichstag fire thing to work, people have to believe the narrative. But people are seeing through it now. People saw that the Trump trials were shams. The saw that the Mar-a-Lago raid was staged. They don’t believe that conservative are the terrorists. They don’t believe the legacy media. They have over-played their hand, and continuing with it will just dig their hole deeper.

pretty good. he just left out the most important part: the German election was probably legit. the j-six fedsurrection and persecution of MAGA was perpetrated by the left to cover up their election theft of 2020, as well as to cow We the People, and consolidate dictatorial, one-party rule over America.

imho, the big difference Maker between us and the cursed German people, was humble, intercessory prayer for America and DJT to the Merciful God of the Universe, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I think that is wishful thinking. When are the voters going to reject DemonRats? We are about to lose Va and Nj.

Amazing, it is a full-on Marxist alphabet agency Color Revolution coup of the USA. It succeeded to install the dementia carcass (82 million votes) to carry on with the work of that lawless Obama creature. They intended to continue with their CCP selected tool Tim Walz. Vile reprobate.

It has failed here for the moment only because of believers praying in the name of Jesus to rebuke this evil. They will be back to try again if we don’t stop them now.

I do hear what you’re saying. Trump may only want to retire to New York City.

But, he’s the only game in town. The RINOs weren’t going to get the job done.

Mr. President, a little more George S. Patton, please.

Jan 6 and George Floyd proves that the media can spin anything.
