The Bush cabal is taking its cues from Nazi Party history.
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 12:22 PM by benburch
Is there anybody here who now doubts that the actions of this administration are informed by the history of the Nazi Party's rise to power and nearly to world domination?

Of course they hope to avoid some of the mistakes of the Nazis - There is now no superpower which can go to war with us without unleashing nuclear destruction and the end of civilization. Other mistakes, like overextending your armed forces seem to be OK with them, however.

Comments welcome.

2. I'm hoping that
they are too arrogant to correct all the mistakes the Nazis made. Right now, with the extreme overextension of the military, they may be hard pressed to be able to continue with their agenda of world domination.

3. With Germany, there was no real superpower either
The US had not really achieved super power status until it mobilized for WWII. And nuclear weapons were not developed.
But for today, all it will only take a nuclear power to bring down the overpowering giant.
The similarities are astonishing when you look at the bush regime compared to the hitler cabinet.

4. One thing
The world has grown wiser and more able to resist the kind of actions like Nazi Germany. Remember Hitler had a number of quick victories and one of his main political opponents, Conrad Heiden, who was in Nazi Germany through its rise and fall, said that the victories seemed to convince people that Hitler was correct and this led to the success of Hitler's propoganda campaign. Fortunately today Bush is being seen for the corrupt incompetent chimp he is and his "miserable failure" in Iraq repeatedly reminds us of this.

5. China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia could stop the USA dead in its tracks
by pulling the plug financially. If they were to base things on the Euro instead of US dollar, we would see total chaos in the US. Where would we get our 'junk' if the far east countries decided not to deal with us? We could still eat, but I don't think it would take any army to crush the US.

6. And what would be the consequences if they did, militarily?
Bush is not sane. He WILL use nuclear weapons if pushed like that.

7. A big failing in the Bush regime if it
wants to emulate Hitler is the variety of news sources today.
Hitler was virtually the only means of "news". He could confiscate all the radios and stop outside news from coming into the country. Television was almost non-existant. Today, there is the radio, television, internet, ham radios, people traveling and newspapers which makes it virtually impossible to have a propaganda machine like Hitler did.
Bushco is trying, but it's not working. People are turning from the television news to the internet. They can read foreign news and the amount of info that can be googled is astronomical. Once a critical mass is achieved of people realizing the truth, this regime will be flattened, not only in the white house, but representatives and senators who aided and abetted the crimes against the nation will be included in the clean-up.

8. Remember... The internet can be shut down.
All it takes is a homeland security directive, and some goons to go take the backbone routers by force.
