Wake Up, America [How Hitler rose to power in the 1930s, on bad economic conditions]
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 10/06/08

Posted on 10/07/2008 3:36:41 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

A nation that doesn't know history is destined to repeat its serious mistakes. People swayed by carefully crafted political propaganda relentlessly repeated and effectively delivered can easily lose their freedom and way of life.

How many times have you been told by soaring, almost hypnotic oratory that "the direct causes of our financial crisis and subprime real estate loan mess were the greedy banks, big corporations and the failed economic policies of George Bush"?

...To begin with, Germany's Nazi party in 1928 won only 810,000 votes nationally, elected only 12 to the Reichstag and was considered sort of a joke. But the 1929 crash started the Depression, with unemployment soaring and poverty hitting hard, even among the formerly prosperous middle class.

In 1930, the bad economy helped the Nazi party get 6.5 million votes nationally and put 107 deputies in the Reichstag, becoming the second-largest party. By 1933, again due to a poor economy, Hitler became Germany's chancellor. His storm troopers, Hitler Youth and Goebbels' propaganda departments grew rapidly.

Please share this with the writer -- and anyone else of influence.

...connecting the dots to show Barack Obama's long-standing, continuously developing, anti-American alliances...

Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

Simpson documents his research in his article, providing Web links. He provides a rough flow chart.

"CHANGE"

Further corroboration on Obama & The Cloward-Piven Strategy:

Obama, Voter Fraud & Mortgage Meltdown, by James H. Walsh, former federal prosecutor.

More on Obama's Marxist alliance with Radical Islamists:

Barack Obama campaigning with taxpayers' money for Raila Odinga, Marxist & pro-Islamist, despotic leader in Kenya

Barack Obama & Khalid Al-Mansour, old Black Panther friend of Ayers & Dohrn, who raised funds to get Obama into Harvard

And then there are... Herbert and Marion Sandler, the Pritzkers, and the "loose lips" of Charles Schumer and Harry Reid....

One of the ways the NAZI’s controlled business owner’s was to be the one to LOAN the business money. Oh wait, that is what the Fed is getting ready to do.

I think it was on HillaryClintonForum.net where I saw a poster say he never understood how Hitler gained power in Germany until witnessing Obama and his Obots.

Here are the lyrics, and a link. Learn quickly lest you be scourged, and beheaded:
http://s68.photobucket.com/albums/i12/Gunkadink/?action=view&current=Obamaleader_0001.flv

Obama wants to be our fearless leader,
to his great name we sing in endless praise.
Our nation he says he would change for us forever,
to him we now our faithful voices raise.
Our land was sick, we need the great Barack Obama,
he brought to us his wondrous healing power.

The great Barack will be our wondrous savior,
he’ll save us all in this our darkest hour.
Obama told us that he loves our greatest freedoms,
but that to last, all them he’ll have to take,
And then we’ll live in strife and constant servile bondage,
it seems his talk is only mostly fake. (1:38)

Before he came, we always had our weapons,
he took them first to keep his Brownshirts safe. (1:53)
Reeducation camps are really horrid places,
with “showers” and many hangings with the rope.
Of man’s kindness there simply are no outward traces
we’re forced to read “Audacity of Hope.” (2:24)

And so we march into that dark tomorrow,
without a thought of what that really means.
Our children soon will quickly come to loathe and hate us,
their former birthright we have pissed away.
And so the day you cast your vote for great Obama,
t’will be the day your liberties you’ll slay.

There is no doubt an Obama election will result in great harm to our country. The people seem to be stampeding in that direction, however.

To anyone who has not done so already, I suggest you start planning for how you and your family will survive a total economic collapse.

Even with McCain, we still might not avoid it. With a President Obama it becomes a certainty.

We are seeing the Cloward-Piven Strategy with Soros and other hedge fund shorts trying to wipe out the global financial system. This is about power and money.

ACORN and their gang - soros, obama, ayers, dems set the viruses in fannie and freddie. They used it to wipe out Wall Street. Wall Street and commercial banks like Wachovia were picked off one by one by the shorts in coordinated attacks using shorting and credit default swaps.

“All you need is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere.” Like Soros and Obama, perhaps?

The video of the creepy “dear Leader” like kids singing Obambi’s praises was bad enough. However, after this article, I have no problem picturing die Obama jugend singing “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”.
