Quote -- Is this familiar to anyone?
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich ^ | 1959 | William L. Shirer

Posted on 12/15/2009 7:25:47 AM PST by Loud Mime

"For the first time—in the last relatively free election Germany was to have—the Nazi Party now could employ all the vast resources of the government to win votes. Goebbels was jubilant. "Now it will be easy," he wrote in his diary on February 3, "to carry on the fight, for we can call on all the resources of the State. Radio and press are at our disposal. We shall stage a masterpiece of propaganda. And this time, naturally, there is no lack of money."

When the government controls the media, either through official or non-official means, they can do terrible things.

Obama is doing the same thing.

The question is, will the sheeple let him pull it off?

Are the compromised sheeple ignorant of history?

History repeats itself and why the need for the LEFT to

REWRITE HISTORY!

IGNORNACE is what makes this a potentially successful plan of action on behalf of Hitler and Obama.

WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is must reading for anybody who is skeptical of the reasons why we loathe Obama and why we fear for our freedom and safety.

And we already have the Obama symbol imprinted on government materials. One thing people overlook is that neither the swastika nor the Obama “Hope and Change” symbol were symbols of their respective governments, but party symbols masquerading as symbols of government....

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,
people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the
State can shield the people from the political,
economic and or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to
use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the
truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by
extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the
State.

And here I thought by reading FR that the MSM was on a Deathwatch. It’s that thinking that got Germany into trouble in the first place.

Hey techno, does this sound familiar?

"Here is why Hitler and now Obama are considered intelligent in a nefarious way: their recognition of what motivates man and woman to embrace evil and forsake the noble, how to consolidate power, and how to use that power to suppress the opposition. What comes through loud and clear in Nazi Germany is that once a nation sheds the ethics and morality of the Christian religion and ultimately God the forces of degeneration, despair, and tyranny step in to fill the vacuum. Remember nature abhors and cannot abide a vacuum "

Hitler was overthrown ... but not by the Germans. Hitler was overthrown by those he wanted to conquer. Obama wants to submit to the rest of the world, and that's ok with the rest of the world.

It's different this time, because it must be internal.

Not exactly overthrown.
He was defeated after several long years of sacrifice, blood and a maddeningly devised strategic program of offense by the Allies. The only way to overthrow this impostor Obama is 1.At the ballot box in November, and 2. At the ballot box three years from now, and (most importantly) 3.
By exposing him and his intended Total Control program, small parts of which are ALREADY initiated and put into place by him, exposing him
and what he INTENDED to do, not what he will in fact manage to get “done”.......It is of utmost importance to illuminate the entire longterm program this team of supposed “Utopians” had in mind when they “won” and what their “Revolutionary Mandate” was. Anything else will have them coming out as “the good guys”, with their reputations intact, ready to fight another day, for the exact same things.I dearly wish there would be a way to stop him and immobilize his entire Administration NOW, but it would never be allowed: too embarrassing for the Country, for Michelle and the Children, for Oprah. This is why politicians like him HAVE children, and why intermediaries like Oprah serve as the useful idiots to promote and protect people like Oblahblah.

“If conservatives really believed in the founding documents of our country we would have already taken care of this matter and would still be free.” Stockpirate

Problem is most just give lip service to the founding fathers and what they wrote and stood for.

“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve of obtain their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them.” Thomas Jefferson

“When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty.” Thomas Jefferson..

There is the answer to our problem.

And this.....

” To such a mindless man was now entrusted dictatorial control over German science, the public schools, the institutions of higher learning and the youth organizations. For education in the Third Reich, as Hitler envisaged it, was not to be confined to stuffy classrooms but to be furthered by a Spartan, political and martial training in the successive youth groups and to reach its climax not so much in the universities and engineering colleges, which absorbed but a small minority, but first, at the age of eighteen, in compulsory labor service and then in service, as conscripts, in the armed forces.”

Don't be surprised if the most extreme leftists and 'Rats beging to contemplate that 0bama has moved too far to the center, and has betrayed all of their glorious progressive ideas and plans, and when that happens you can be sure they've got some moron in a closet with a rifle and a scope who believes he's the reincarnation of James Earl Ray.

If 0bama is assassinated, it will be by a cabal of his own followers who believe he will be more useful in death, than life. Believe that.

By the time Hitler was defeated the US had more than 16 million men in uniform. Think about that number. 16 million.

America was there to make that happen. Who will be there for us - no one on this earth. Divine intervention is what we need!
