Feeling Like a Jew at the Beginning of the Third Reich

When I was about eight years old, I had a vision that one day the US would become a dictatorship. In the early '80s I started looking into government spooky business--the CIA staging coupes and running drugs, the FBI spying on citizens, illegal wars made under false allegations. Then came 9/11. The first moment I heard the news, the message went through my mind: "They've gone and done it." And I didn't mean the "Arab terrorists." Since 9/11 there has been a wholesale assault on the Constitution, the rule of law, freedom of speech, and the right to a trial, among other things. Since Obama's reign has begun, the pace of the police state has accelerated.

Under Obama's watch, the Patriot Act has been strengthened, Guantanamo prisoners still have not had a trial, and Americans have been labeled and tried as terrorists because they spoke against the government, challenged the IRS, and posed as an oilman at a government give-away of public lands rich in oil, timber, and minterals. Then there was the alleged hunting down of Osama bin Laden and his slaying without a trial, followed by the slaying of three American citizens just because the government said they were terrorists--again no trial, no airing of the "evidence" in a public forum. Also, drone activity and killings have grossly increased under Obama. And then today and yesterday, the Congress and Senate are voting on the Military Appropriations Bill, which would make law what Obama proposed in 2009. In the height of hypocracy, especially for a self-proclaimed Constitutional lawyer, Obama pronounced, in sight of the original document at the National Archives, that people could be incarcerated indefinitely on the suspicion that they might someday commit an act of terrorism. Oh, my gawd! So we've gone from people being indefinitely detained without a trial to people being indefinitely detained before they've even done anything wrong. Here's the video of the 2009 speech.



The appropriations bill was not openly debated in either the Congress or Senate, merely discussed in committee, not in public view. It is beyond the pale that Obama took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. He and the Congress and Senate should have been labeled as the biggest enemies to the Constitution.

I have also read of firms within the killing industry and arms of the military that are developing systems that can "read" a person's brain activity to determine if he's having hostile thoughts. No doubt having hostile thoughts because of the survelliance of his thoughts!

Though I've warned people about the coming dictatorship for at least 20 years, now when I say something, I'm no longer considered crazy or over-reacting. Even people who six months ago were skeptical now see it plainly before their eyes. Everything is in place for a Stallinist US.

Just as the Jews were given plenty of warning signs that things were heading in a bad direction for them at the beginning of the Third Reich, so, too, Americans have been given plenty of warning signs. Some Jews who had the money to leave and/or family outside Germany got out in time. But a whole lot more didn't. Some probably thought it wasn't possible to get THAT bad.
