The Era of Clinton. How will truly objective historians view the Decade of Deceit? One way in which to gauge the future is to look at the past. Germany, in the thirties, is an appropriate period in which to compare the Clinton Administration. The events surrounding the Nazi's rise to power are very similar to the Clinton's. The bulk of this article comes directly from a chapter in a college history textbook about the Nazi regime. Mostly the nouns, dates and quotations have been changed to reflect this similarity. Yogi Berra's famous quote comes to mind when analyzing these similarities. "It's deja vu, all over again."
The world economic problems were the culminating blows to the Bush Administration. Toward the end of the 1980's, many Savings and Loans were forced to close and disorders broke out in many cities. The number of unemployed reached sixteen million, and desperate, jobless workers roamed the streets shouting, "Will work for food!" Night after night, police and military forces battled the hungry mobs.
Up to this time the Clinton's had attracted only lukewarm support. By the summer of 1992, however, their numbers increased, and the Clinton's became the most influential among the Democrats. Hungry, frightened and desperate, the impoverished masses turned to Clinton as a source of salvation.
Once the Clinton's began to gain popularity, Clinton and his master propagandist, James Carville, organized town hall meetings all over America. Thrilled by these colossal displays, mesmerized by rituals and ranting speeches, the masses gave Clinton increasing support.
For the Democratic Party, when the Clinton's ran against the incumbent George Bush for the Presidency of the American Republic, 1992 was a crucial year. Although the Clinton's had been defeated in a few primaries, the Democrats asked the Clinton's to move their campaign headquarters from Little Rock, Arkansas to the District of Columbia. The Clinton's refused demanding what was equivalent to dictatorial power.
It became increasingly difficult for the Bush Administration to carry on the government, and in November the general election was held. Some observers had hoped that the Clinton's had passed the crest of their power. At this point, however, a clique of Perot supporters and those fearful of another Reagan Revolution, threw their support to the Clinton's.
In January of 1993, a cabinet "that looked like America" was formed with Clinton at the head. Because he already had a clear majority in the Congress, he did not have to call for another election. During the campaign and increasingly afterwards, the news broadcasts were monopolized by The Dominant Media Culture, and The Politically Correct Thought Police coerced the people. But many Americans became disgusted with the strong arm methods and the Clinton's needed a dramatic incident to clear a majority in The Presidential Approval Poll.
Just after the election, fire gutted The Waco Compound. The blaze was blamed on the Branch-Davidians, though there was strong and justified suspicion that it was started by The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. When The Presidential Approval Poll was taken, the Clinton's rating was 44 percent. To this was added the support of The Dominant Media Culture and The Educational Establishment, giving the Clinton's a bare majority.
Quickly, the Congress passed the 1993 Tax Reform Act which granted the Clinton's the right to tax the people for the next four years. The American Constitution was never, only informally, abolished. The Congress continued as a phantom legislature, but nearly all political power was exercised by one person, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The Clinton's ruthlessly smashed the institutions and people by which they had come to power. All rivals who had spoken out against the Clinton's were not allowed to take from The Pork Barrel War Chest, nor were they invited to The White House.
The Doctrine of Liberal Superiority formed an integral part of the Clinton's program. The Christian Right bore the brunt of the Clinton's persecution. They were blamed for The Congressional Spending Deficit, for all that was bad about capitalism, for homelessness, for George Bush losing The White House and even for ozone depletion.
All these were represented as facets of a Reaganesque plot to destroy America and seize control of the culture. That such a fantastic tale was seriously believed by a considerable number of the citizens of a supposedly civilized nation indicated the state of near psychosis into which America had fallen.
Once they were President, the Clinton's did everything to stifle and destroy The Christian Right. The people, at first were handed Five Executive Orders signed by Clinton himself. Unborn children were declared to be "non-persons" and were stripped of all rights. The Clinton Administration then began a relentless push to the left.
Intensive effort was made to instill a single pattern of thought in literature, the press, drama, music, broadcasting, art and the movies. Censured books, including the original works of The American Founding Fathers, were rewritten and the original works disappeared from public view.
The school system was integrated with agents from The National Education Association, which drilled and regimented boys and girls from the ages 10 to 14. The American Universities, once famous throughout the world for their academic freedom, became agencies for propagating such ideas as Multi-Culturalism and The Superiority of Feminist Ideals. Enrollment in the Universities was limited to good liberal stock and professors were dismissed by the score.
In theory and in outward form, the Clinton's retained capitalism and private property. However, both business and labor became rigidly controlled by the state. Labor Unions were on the decline, and both workers and employers were enrolled in a new organization, The Medical Health Alliance. Compulsory dues were taken from worker's wages to support the Clinton's organizations. As a sop, the workers were told they were receiving free health care.
The government's attempt to solve America's economic problems included levying a huge tax load on the middle class and increasing the national debt by one trillion in order to provide work for the unemployed. To create jobs, the first five year plan, established in 1993, initiated an extensive program of Pork Barrel Projects. The unemployed were put back to work helping to build The Information Super Highway.
The Congressional Spending Deficit and the confusion over who was responsible for the economic problems, brought the Clinton's to power. This in turn led to global confusion. In the eighties, the Reagan Administration had brought to the country the longest peacetime economic recovery in history, but The Dominant Media Culture succeeded in stifling that remembrance.
The Totalitarian Powers came perilously close to losing the Presidency in the fall of 1994. However, after years of learning the truth, the people were no longer confused and victory quickly ensued. The Democratic Party lost both houses of Congress with the advent of George W. Bush and the Clinton's left Washington DC in complete disgrace.
HO ! WHOA!
Stop the tape!
Once upon a time there was a beautiful Aryan prince named Adolf Hitler.HO ! WHOA!
Agreed. If Hitler had been intellectually honest he would have offed himself. The Aryan ideal he was not.

Wasn't there a dwarf named "Fairy" and didn't he go into the SS? Or was it the Gestapo?
If it hadnt happened no one would believe it. It is too far fetched.

You are right about that. Who would have thought, that not one German, not one single German, disagreed with Hitler, and disagreed with his policies enough to assinate him. Hitler made a habit of riding around in open cars, unprotected when making speeches surruonded by tens of thousands of Germans with rifles, etc. It would only have taken one singel German with a rifle to end it all, but not one single German in Germany, disagreed enough to stop it. In fact, most Germans loved Hitler, and loved his policies. Hitler was NOT unpopular, he was very popular.
Some of them did of course but the majority did not. Why? Because he gave them food and jobs and wealth and someone else to blame all their troubles on.
The German people knew or guessed for the most part what was going on. You could practically throw a stone from Dachau and hit the camp. But wealth was pouring in from the conquered lands and Germany was feared if not respected. Better not to look or question. It would all turn out all right wouldnt it?
Willful blindness.

The American people knew or guessed for the most part what was going on. You could practically throw a stone from NJ and hit the UN building . But tax dollars were pouring into other countries and America was feared if not respected. Better not to look or question. It would all turn out all right wouldnt it?

Triumph Of The Will was very slick. Now, how many folk or volk if you will, were swayed by the film is questionable.

Yep. The film shows the Nazi's feeding people, providing jobs, etc. With the promises that government will provide all that you need, the film could be used in a Democratic candidate's campaign.
If you haven't had the chance to see the film, do so. The version I saw was subtitled, but as you read the words, you'd swear that the script was written for a Democratic candidate.
