What no one seemed to notice ... was the ever widening gap ... between the government and the people ... And it became always wider ... the whole process of its coming into being, was above all diverting, it provided an excuse not to think for people who did not want to think anyway ... Nazism gave us some dreadful, fundamental things to think about ... and kept us so busy with continuous changes and 'crises' and so fascinated ... by the machinations of the 'national enemies', without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us ... Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted', that unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these 'little measures' ...must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing ... Each act ... is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next.
[SIZE=5]You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow. You don't want to act, or even talk, alone... you don't want to go out of your way to make trouble ... And it is not just fear ... that restrains you, it is also genuine uncertainty ... And you are an alarmist. You are saying that this must lead to this, and you can't prove it ... But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That's the difficulty.
The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, [SIZE=5]and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves, when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed... You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things your father ... could never have imagined."

comparing 3rd reich to USA is one heck of a stretch.
however we must be vigilante to despotism. blackwater aka, Xe, should be disbanded like yesterday.
Insidious. The wool sheeple cap drifts slowly over the eyes of the sheeple. So slowly that they don't see the subtle movements in the wool. If they should notice, the alarmists will be subdued with more trinkets. We all have a price, sad to say. Makes you wonder just what it will take to awaken and anger the sheeple to a white hot level .
Here listen for 5 minutes... if you think it's junk then that's fine, but she nails the details of how we are heading toward a fascist dictatorship. How Germany went from a free society to a closed society. She's pretty spot on.
The dollar depreciation is looking a lot like the Reichsmark depreciation...I think that we should start counterfeiting with a softer cloth so that we can at least use it as a good toilet paper subsititute
