The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe predicted a lot of this chaos back in the 90’s.

It’s a very good read.

F.A. Hayek tells us why people try to deny the similarities between what’s happening now and what happened in pre-Nazi Germany.

People compare themselves now with how Germany ended up - a genocidal regime bent on world conquest - and can’t, due to the extremity of the evil of the German regime, see that our society could ever end up there.

This is why you have to do things like give a description of the political, economic, and social climate in the era leading up to the atrocities, without mentioning the era or the country, and ask the person you’re talking to to identify the situation you’re describing - THEN tell them it was pre-Nazi Germany.

Churchill never sat in the House of Lords, otherwise a decent article.

And folks wonder why the ammo shelves at WallyWorld are have been empty for a YEAR.

The author keeps repeating "we" this and "we" that, sorry but it is properly "they." "We" have been trying to raise the alarm for two decades and have been called every name the book and a few that were created just for us "evil conservatives."

The communists will now reap the whirlwinds of their insanity. When it collapses around them just as historically it has in EVERY other attempt at the “communist utopia” and they are busy pointing fingers at everything and everyone but themselves those that were vilified for all those years will be methodically correcting the issues.

No one will be listening to the bleating of the communists at that point.

very sobering. Just substitute Christians, right-wing, conservative instead of Jews and we’re there...am just now watching the sad discussion about the young Christian girl in Florida who is fearing for her life to go back to her Muslim parents. We do indeed live in a world that is tromping through the same mud over and over.

I totally agree with David Kaiser’s opinions on our current state and I fear for my children’s future...

Dito, except - That is our money. Yours and mine.

Not really. The Federal reserve's money is private. We back it with our full faith and credit but it is not ours.

Excellent article. Thanks for posting it. As for the question of why we have been de-industrializing America, I came across this 2008 column by Victor Hanson about this topic:

THIS is why we decry “HITLER”. It is a warning that we are going down a horribly, horribly dark road.

They say no one can be compared to Hitler as he murdered millions of innocent people.

Hummmm. Abortion, euthanasia....

This is why we are yelling HITLER... it is a WARNING !

An excellent find. Thanks for posting this and thanks to David Kaiser for compiling all the signs and markers in one place. He's right.

Some of our fellow Americans have been unraveling the fabric of our society ever more rapidly for the last few decades. Why?

History has several examples of where we are headed and I believe a majority know this or at minimum feel it/sense it on some level. Is it too late? This frog thinks the water is way too hot already.

It won’t collapse right away on it’s own, they haven’t QUITE sucked us dry yet, but they will collapse if we conservatives stand up for ourselves more and stop letting them define our world with lies and crime.

Although the origins of the quote are obscure, it is frequently attributed, at least in part to Alexander Tytler and widely known as the Tytler Cycle"...

"From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to apathy; from apathy to dependency; and from dependency back to bondage once more."
