DOES HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? Neo-fascists and Terrorists Against Liberty, p. 2 We must thank one courageous Senator Jeffords - the only Senator in Washington with the guts to rescue the Senate from falling into the extreme right wing snake pit into which the likes of Trent Lot is pulling Congress. Most Democrats are wagging their tails and licking the Texas cowboy boots of our nitwit puppet masquerading as President, just like the liberals in Germany did with Hitler. The undeniable fact that Bush was installed by fraud in the White house received no objection from most Democrats and the sold out "free" press - which had persecuted a very competent President for years over sexual peccadillos - paid little attention to the greatest crime against the American people in our entire history. The Nazis were secretly admired by extreme right Republican racists as far back as the Nixon days. In 1933 the Nazis began their attack on democracy by raiding the Communist party headquarters to get their membership list. Half a century later Republicans neo-fascists repeated the same bit of history by burglarizing the Democratic Party's Watergate headquarters, which ended in Nixon's resignation. That Nazi/GOP crime was just a preview of coming Republican attractions for Election 2000, when hired GOP goons rioted Florida vote counting facilities and intimidated election officials there into stopping their manual recount of votes. The pattern of historical repetition begins to appear with an even more frightening contemporary aspect. While in Nixon's times there existed independent investigative reporters willing to bust treasonous plots, today mainstream media is 100% under the control of right wing mega corporations whose interests are carefully protected. Göring and Goebbels, with Hitler's approval, hatched a grandiose plan to shock public opinion and cause massive national panic. They coaxed and helped a psychotic Communist in the torching of prepared combustible fuel caches set up by the Nazis (through an underground tunnel) for burning the Reichstag in Berlin, the building where elected representatives of the Republic met in Congress. The arsonist worked a long time to start many fires in the enormous edifice while the efficient German police were inexplicably and conveniently absent from this most important of government buildings. No one could ever explain such a lack of security, just as no one can explain today how 18 men with pen knives could hijack four airliners on the same morning and the mighty Pentagon could be struck without warning forty-four minutes after a colossal catastrophe hit New York, even though the FBI had received information that strikes involving civilian airlines were being plotted. Nazi reactions to the Reichstag catastrophe were without the least reflection, showing a premeditated political opportunism duplicated seventy years later by the Bushists' knee jerk reactions to a heart-breaking national tragedy that should have first called for aid and assistance to Americans at home, immediate aviation security (with impregnable cockpits and pilot bodyguards), and serious national reflection. Instead, both the Nazis and the Republicans chose to instantly beat the revenge war drum and rattle their swords to reap the maximum political bonanza from public shock, anguish, panic, and anger. Investigate? Later. Reflect? Never! It might reveal the real causes behind the insanity of terrorism. It might bring to light our own many acts of terrorism in the last 100 years throughout the world. We must rush to close the barn door after the cows have run away and let the press concoct polls created by propaganda and provocation. "98% of the people are lining up behind the glorious Führer!" This is the kind of journalism that gives bullshit a bad name. Unfurl
the battle flags. Sing the national anthem. Unite the people behind
the leader, no matter how evil and corrupt he may be. Sound familiar
in both German and English? "Deuschland über Alles!" A few days
after the Reichstag fire, as if by collective hypnosis, the Nazis
were seen by the public as all-knowing heroes. They deftly captured
the lone culprit (an easy task, since, having helped him, they had
been aware of who he was) and grabbed a bunch of others as well. The
Nazi Party was instantly seen as credible and patriotic. The more
it blamed foreign and domestic Communists as terrorists, painted all
liberals and democratic people as enemies of Germany, and threatened
to crush its enemies with force, the more the public was deliriously
titillated. |
