"Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out
the exact amount of injustice and wrong, which will be imposed upon them; and
these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with
both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they
oppress." --- Frederick Douglass, Aug. 4,
1857
, which suspended the parliament,
the constitution and gave the Chancellor absolute power to do anything he wanted
on a whim. Interestingly, he managed to convince the Catholics in power to vote
for the Enabling Act if he promised to allow them free rein in the
society. Begrudgingly, they took the word of one of the most evil men in
history and voted for the act. Talk about making a pact with the
Devil.

Hitler's rise to power is well documented in history. The Germans left
a paper trail as wide as the infamous Autobahn is long. Hitler politically
fudged the rules, changed the rules, amended the rules, suspended the rules and
lied through his teeth to become Chancellor and then Dictator of Germany.
But he went even further with three initiatives that permanently cemented his
absolute power.
First, he rammed through the
Enabling
Act
He then, on the "
Night of the Long
Knives" (June 30 to July 2,
1934) used the military to murder the opposition, in other words his
critics. Estimates are that at least 85 senior officers and bureaucrats
were murdered during those 3 days, but other estimates put the murders much
higher.
Hitler then went on to create some straw men tied to racial and
genetic purity and German national pride. The Arian Nation (German race) was, according to Hitler, more pure genetically
and superior to all other races. The non-thinking German people bought the
propaganda hook, line and sinker.
The first straw men were the Jews. The Jews were not of
Arian descent and therefore they were the enemy of the German people and had to
be exterminated. Think of it: EXTERMINATED! The
extermination started with the "Night of Broken Glass" (
Kristallnacht) (Nov. 9-10,
1938) on Hitler's command and ended with "The Final
Solution", on Hitler's command.
(NOTE: It has been reported that Hitler
was a crystal meth junkie and took injections of crystal meth every day to fight
his constant depression. The injections increased as the war
progressed.)
Purifying the Arian race didn't end there for Hitler. The
sick, indigent, disabled, disfigured and homosexuals were also genetically
imperfect and had to be terminated, or could be used for medical
experimentation. One of Hitler's political enemies that was murdered
during the "Night of the Long Knives", one Ernst Rohm and leader
of the German Brown Shirts, was a homosexual.
What may be lost in all this is that the German people were
complicit and co-conspirators in the deaths of over 60,000,000 innocents
resulting from World War II, another war fought to rid the planet of a
megalomaniac, like so many other megalomaniacs in the last 5,000 years, that
thought they could dominate all the people of the world ….. with brute
force.
Nevertheless, you don't have to use brute force to conquer the
world or silence your critics. First, you have to develop a straw man, or
let's say a victim, just like Hitler did. Let's see, how many societal
victims can we name? The elderly, the poor, the disabled, any ethnic race other
than white, homosexuals, women and those cute little male lions (Cecil) that eat their cubs, come to mind. Then you have
to create a group who supports and defends the victim. We'll call this
group the "Victim Defenders." The rest is easy.
To silence your critics, all you have to do is convince the
public that anyone who doesn't support and defend the victim, is cheap,
in-sensitive, cruel, a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, a nativist, a voter
suppressor, an animal hater, or a misogynist. Since the average individual
doesn't want to be accused of being one of these pejoratives, they shut up and
the silencing is complete.
Hillary Clinton wasted no time, a few hours before the first
Republican Presidential debate on August 6, 2015, to accuse all of the
Republican candidates of being voter suppressors for advocating voter
identification before being able to vote. Hillary is a true blue
"Victim Defender", no matter what it costs.
Critics of any of Obama's policies are of course racists
because he is black. Those with religious convictions against gay marriage
are bigots and homophobes and they must pay for their transgressions and pay
dearly. If you take issue with Hillary's position on women, you are a
misogynist.
Of course none of this would be possible or effective if the
"Victim Defenders" didn't have the so-called "free" press aiding,
abetting and parroting every word that comes out of the mouths of the
"Victim Defenders."
Now is there an analogy to Hitler's extermination of the Jews
and the genetically challenged, in contemporary America? Who is being
exterminated today? Oh, but ladies and gentlemen, you know those being
exterminated have no rights under our constitution so it's OK. They are
just blobs of protoplasm growing in the womb, with a heart, a brain, lungs and
limbs.
So men, on the U. S. Supreme Court, out of thin air no less,
decreed that unborn babies ARE NOT subject to the protections of the U.
S. Constitution. In fact, under this Supreme Court decision, "Planned
Infanticide Hood" can sell the dead baby's body parts for huge sums of money,
not legally of course.
The court decision is quite interesting in that the U. S.
Constitution makes no mention of abortion, but every single Founding Father
would have reacted with horror at the thought of exterminating a baby in the
womb, as it would have vehemently violated their strongly held religious
beliefs. Is it any wonder that religious people today are equally
horrified?
If men, or women, or a court, can decide that an unborn baby
has no rights, then how far of a stretch is it for a mortal man or woman, or a
court, to decide to suspend the rights of all humans, even under the alleged
protections of the Constitution and even though all living humans are supposed
to have unalienable natural rights that come from their creator, not from man,
under that Constitution? Not very far it would seem.
And then, to go a little farther with this thought, how a far
of a stretch is it for a mortal man or woman, or a court, to suspend the
constitutionally protected property rights of landowners? But you see,
this has already happened with the passage of radical environmental laws that
supersede and have priority over so-called unalienable property rights.
These radical environmental laws have now forced the rural landowner to bear
most of the brunt of those laws, with no legal recourse or protection of those
rights. Our nationally known organization, the
National Association of Rural
Landowners, was formed 10 years ago
to be an advocate for those disenfranchised rural landowners. We are well
known in rural circles throughout the U. S.
Then there is the other straw man that the "Victim
Defenders" have invented. The victim is the environment and the
"Victim Defenders" tell us that the environment is in peril by
man's activities and man-caused global warming. With the aid of national and
international radical environmentalists, in-the-tank scientists, government and
the alleged "free" press that parrots their every word, the endless propaganda
convinces the unknowing public that they are guilty of harming the environment
by their earthly activities and by emitting carbon dioxide and must pay for
their transgressions. If you don't believe in the cult of environmentalism
and man-caused global warming, then of course you are an environment and climate
change "denier" and must be vilified, smeared and maligned by the "Victim
Defenders." It makes no difference that the made-as-instructed
science the "Victim Defenders" use to support their environmental
policies, is at best a theory and at worst an outright fraud.
The slow slippage into totalitarian rule happens a little bit
over time as the people become unwitting co-conspirators in fudging the rules,
changing the rules, amending the rules, suspending the rules and allowing our
leaders to lie through their teeth in an overt and deliberate attempt to become
the Dictators of America, whether the Dictator is one man or woman, or a group
of men or women in a cabal of elites, rightfully called an Absolute Democrat
Monarchy.
It happens as unconstitutional laws are passed that are not
challenged in court. It happens when judges legislate from the bench. It
happens when federal, state and local bureaucracies become powers unto
themselves with no Congressional oversight, in violation of Article 1, Section 1
of the Constitution.
It happens when politicians violate their oath of office and
are criminally negligent in discharging their duties for and on behalf of the
people, as we discussed in our last article entitled, "
We're Charging Governors With Violation of
Their Oath of Office."
It happens when you pass the War Powers Act (FDR - 1941)
that never sunsets and can suspend the constitution and habeas corpus on the
whim of the President. Japanese Americans were interned on this authority.
It happens when Congress passes the Patriot Act that repeals
portions of the U. S. Constitution. It happens when you pass the National
Defense Authorization Act and the Trade Powers Act that gives extraordinary,
unconstitutional powers to the President.
It happens when the government allows millions of illegal
aliens to flood into America's welfare state and when government allows criminal
illegal aliens to rape and murder lawful American citizens ….. but refuses to do
anything about it.
It happens as corruption invades our institutions like a cancer
that can't be cured. It happens as the people and the politicians lose
their sacred honor, where their word is no longer their bond and where greed,
avarice, self-gratification, or the obsession with being re-elected, overtake
their instinctive desire to support and defend what is right and punish what is
wrong.
And it happens when the "Victim Defenders" of one
ideology silences another ideology with false charges of being cheap,
in-sensitive, cruel, a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, a nativist, a voter
suppressor, an animal hater, or a misogynist.
So in the end ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to kill 'em
to silence 'em. You just have to use a victim or victims and public
pressure to shut the critics up so that the critics' voices are never heard
above the din of the "Victim Defenders"; in an environment where
the "Victim Defenders" don't care about the victims except to use
them as political fodder; an environment in which dictators are born from the
loins of those very same "Victim Defenders."
Who are the "Victim Defenders?" You decide!
The question is, will the American people override the
"Victim Defenders", or will they follow in the path of the German
people and become complicit and co-conspirators in the death of America and
American freedom and as a result, bring chaos and anarchy to the
world?
