In the early days of Hitler's reign, many people supported his new directives, which were aimed at bringing Germany back from the ruins of World War I. He managed to bring prosperity to the nation, and each new order was presented as a means to benefit the country, gaining widespread support. Hitler's ability to win over the masses seemed unnaturally skillful. His brilliance and rapid rise to power had an almost supernatural quality, as events unfolded rapidly according to his wishes.
Hitler's objectives have frequently been described as employing the "constitution to dismantle the constitution" and utilizing the "rules of the republic to annihilate the republic." Disturbingly, this seems to be paralleled in the US from past to present. The constitution is employed to undermine itself and the nation. While we are frequently labeled a democracy, we are, in fact, a republic. The term "democracy" is often used to the extent that we forget the fundamental principles upon which our country was founded. Democracy represents mob rule where the majority holds sway. Considering how indoctrinated our country has become, is it wise for such a mob to govern us? Remember, we are a republic, not a democracy. The attempt to shift our country away from its republic roots has been progressing for decades. However, in recent years, this transformation has brought our nation alarmingly close to devastation.
Hitler believed that the government should control newspapers, allowing his propaganda to influence public opinion. This phenomenon is observed today as well – truth is difficult to find in the news, current books, or online platforms. The government has seemingly sanitized information on a wide scale, and this process continues; as evidenced last month. Google, the UN, and the WHO have been removing content deemed as "disinformation", a term coined by the CIA, resembling how "conspiracy theory" originated.
In 1921 Hitler assembled a large group of unemployed young men and former soldiers, known as the Storm Troopers (Sturmabteilung) or SA, as the Nazi Party’s private army. They gained the nickname ‘Brownshirts’, after their brown shirted uniforms. Their role was to protect party meetings, march in Nazi rallies and intimidate political opponents by breaking up their meetings.” To me, this sounds like what we see with our government inserting FBI, CIA actors into the January 6 protest. We see it happen whenever a conservative gives a speech in Universities. It sounds like the activities of the BLM and Antifa where they burn down buildings and the left says it’s just peaceful protests.
The German people grew weary of the struggling economy and found themselves divided as a nation due to WWI and the previous government. Hitler exploited this situation and was often portrayed as Germany's savior, the man who would rescue the country from the clutches of depression. This bears a resemblance to some current events in the US. Hitler resorted to scapegoating Jews and others, blaming them for Germany's troubles. They were frequently depicted as subhuman, or as threats to both the racial purity and economic future of the country. Scapegoating remains present today, with the racial divide perpetrated by the democrats. Other examples are the left calling people in general, useless eaters and those on the right should be killed. Some claim that white people have caused all of humanity's ills. Just like the Nazis' infamous "brownshirts" intimidated opponents through targeted attacks, we observe similar incidents when conservatives attempt to speak anywhere.
In July 1933, other political parties were banned, leaving only Hitler's Nazi party. Drawing a parallel, some Americans perceive Washington D.C. as a one-party system. While it appears that there are two parties, both often vote for similar controversial bills. Democrats usually unite to pass bills, with the GOP seemingly opposing them – a good cop/bad cop act. Ultimately, many contentious bills are passed with both parties voting in lockstep. The GOP investigates as a distraction from their true intentions. Since Hitler's era, advancements in knowledge, techniques, psychology, and technology have made it easier for governments to deceive citizens.
In 1933, Hitler sought to eliminate his political opponents and had 400 of them killed in a single night, an event later dubbed the "Night of the Long Knives." Today, the US government arrests and imprisons its political adversaries, as evidenced by the treatment of January 6th protesters and certain presidential candidates. It seems that if silencing someone by one method proves unsuccessful, contemporary governments possess their own version of a "Night of the Long Knives." Despite advances in technology, it appears that individuals are not held accountable for their actions.
The German Führer used institutions to spread his beliefs and indoctrinate students. Today's institutions are much the same rather than practicing their reason for existing which is to educate. The courts, the Department of Justice, and various administrative branches contribute to the government's agenda by ensuring compliance or punishing dissent. This administration and its associates exploit minority groups to provoke animosity towards their adversaries, consequently undermining our nation's unity. Drawing parallels to historical figures such as Hitler, they seize upon an already fractured society created by years of intentional division.
In today's America, millions of people find themselves at a disadvantage due to the rapidly evolving global economy and open borders. They have lost jobs due to social justice schemes, covid mandates, migrants, store closures due to lawlessness and a bad economy. Feeling humiliated, insecure, and abandoned by political elites while being ridiculed by cultural elites, these individuals often remain silent about their concerns for fear of being "canceled" or arrested. As in Germany, one didn’t complain about the government or ruling class.
I've briefly mentioned a few similarities between Hitler's early years in power and our current ruling class. While our government doesn't promote the extermination of millions of Jews, it does support the termination of millions of unborn babies and in some cases born infants without conscience. Understanding how Hitler's regime rapidly evolved into a totalitarian government could help put current events into perspective. While Hitler rose rapidly, the globalist took their sweet time and used the “boiling frog” technique. It appears that people in the US are more easily influenced than previously imagined, as evidenced by the recent pandemic. The majority of the population followed directives that ultimately served as tools for control, with the so-called cure now being likened to modern-day gas chambers.
People often say, how could the Germans allow Hitler to rise to perpetrate such horror? Just look at ourselves in the last 3 yrs. And you will find your answer.
