History. It's a curious thing. We learn from it, or at least we should, and we try to use it as a guide for the present and the future. Of course, we all interpret it a bit differently.
At the close of World War II in 1945, the nation of Germany was partitioned into two distinct nations. The Bundesrepublik Deutschland in the west, or West Germany, and the misleadingly named German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik) in the east, or East Germany. Further, the then-former capital of Germany, Berlin, was divided into 4 sectors, with the British, French and American sectors becoming West Berlin and the Soviet sector becoming East Berlin. Democracy and republics in the western parts of both versus the eastern European version of communism in the eastern parts.
The East German law enforcement apparatus was monstrous, cruel, brutal and pervasive. Although there were local law enforcement organizations, the primary responsibility for maintaining law and order throughout East Germany belonged to the Ministry for State Security, or the Stasi as it was called. It must be made crystal clear here that the Stasi and the governments of East Germany and East Berlin were decidedly not Nazis.
A brief description of the Stasi from Wikipedia:
"The Ministry for State Security (German: Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, MfS) or State Security Service (Staatssicherheitsdienst, SSD), commonly known as the Stasi, was the official state security service of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). One of the Stasi's main tasks was spying on the population, primarily through a vast network of citizens turned informants, and fighting any opposition by overt and covert measures, including hidden psychological destruction of dissidents (Zersetzung, literally meaning "decomposition"). It arrested 250,000 people as political prisoners during its existence."

Sounds all too familiar.
I would guess several million wanna-bees here in the US right now. Probably live not too far from you. Maybe even a relative.
Question: Why is the FBI and DOJ so silent on this fraudulent election people ask?
Answer: Because they are both preparing for their new roles in the HarrisBiden government to be a sort of FSB/KBG/Stasi/Gestapo rolled into one new Cabinet level agency called (on the order of) The Ministry of Truth and Reconciliation.
I see Masonic symbolism on that shield, and I’m not surprised.
The Rooskies had envy as their guide.
One of the best movies I ever saw “The Lives of Others” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3_iLOp6IhM . It will make your skin crawl but there is redemption at the end. Rush raved about this movie years ago and I finally got a chance to see it on Netflix, WOW, mind blowing!
Why do you think we have a dept of homeland security and Patriot Act? It gives the the power to arrest any one who might be a terrorist.

*************
Trump needs to fire Wray yesterday.
Barr should be next to go. He’s absolutely worthless.
Stasi existed 40 years and collected 900 million to a billion pages of information. The CIA and NSA by their own admission collect that every two days now. The Stasi never dreamed of the surveillance we have in America.
Our intel apparatus was created for our protection, not it’s a deadly menace and must be put down. It’s exactly like old Yeller.
Well, if he provided any clarity, I didn't see it.
It seems to me that: Totalitarian Nazis = Totalitarian Communists.
The Lives of Others,,,
Rush spoke of.
Nobody on earth should have the spy power that DC and its agencies have. Nobody.
Sooner or later evil will rise (has risen) and take control of this monster.
Out fathers knew this and wrote USConstitution to disallow US government to ever grab this kind of power. DC didn’t care. DC is now conquered by that evil and is conquering USAians. Even Trump cannot stop what has already begun... Duh.
Then the fence was built to keep the East Germans in and years later the commies built the wall around Berlin.
I remember my parents sending care packages to my aunt especially for Christmas so my aunt could Christmas cookies. They also included Bananas which they could not get there.
Totalitarian Communists = Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrat party.
Do you realize that the rats are against Barr. You are not any better than them
Did you grow up in West Germany?
You probably see it in your stool as well on the rare occasions you pass one. The compass, by its self is hardly Masonic symbolism and especially not in this context.
That was one of the lamest replies I’ve ever seen on Free Republic. And I’ve been here a long time.
Of course the DOJ is fighting Barr (thank you Captain Obvious) but if you’ve ever been an executive or manager resistance to your agenda is not uncommon. Your job as a leader is to press forward and find ways to realize your vision and achieve your objectives. After all, Barr wanted the job so its incumbent on him to do it with conviction, integrity and courage. That’s what the American people have a right to expect of their Attorney General as the chief law enforcement of the land. If he doesn’t set the example for defending our laws who will?
What exactly has Barr done to protect our republic, our elections, and punish those responsible for the statist coup against Trump? Please tell me in specific terms, not vague generalities.
Have you even read the DOJ’s mission statement? If not, I suggest you take a look at it today because you cannot read it and come to any conclusion other than the fact that Barr has been a complete failure with respect to fulfilling any aspect of that mission.
As for your assertion that “You are not any better than them” [i.e., the rats] it just shows how defensive you are. We have a right, and indeed an obligation, to criticize our leaders when they fall short of meeting their responsibilities as Barr has done. Even Trump has criticized Barr but I guess that’s another inconvenient fact you choose to ignore.
