The Nazification of AmeriKKKa Continues

The Nazification of AmeriKKKa Continues

"One of the most repressive acts of the new Nazi government, this one allowed for the suspension of civil liberties in the wake of the false crisis created by the Nazis as a result of the fire that gutted the Reichstag (parliament) building on the previous day. Without firm evidence, it was put about that it had been set by the Communists as the opening act in the attempt to overthrow the state. The president was persuaded that the state was in danger and, hence, that the emergency measures embodied in the decree were necessary. Even though under Art. 48 of the constitution, the decree would have been withdrawn once the so-called emergency had passed, any hope of this happening was prevented by the establishment of Hitler's dictatorship following the Enabling Act (see below). It was in fact never withdrawn and remained until the end as an instrument of Nazi terror against ordinary citizens who ran foul of the regime."

An AmeriKKKan philosopher named George Santayana once remarked "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Alas AmeriKKKans are ahistorical and most of us suffer from historic amnesia as well as mis-education and disinformation. In AmeriKKKa the study of the past and history are eschewed or relegated to isolated trivia . This explains why we are witnessing the metamorphosis of the AmeriKKKan form of government from an erstwhile republic to a corporatist, fascist police state right before our eyes. AmeriKKKa was never designed to be a one man (or one woman) one vote democracy. The founders of this country were determined to keep the control of government on the hands of a select circle of wealthy white men designed to minimize participation of the masses. Despite agitation for voting rights and civil rights changes that resulted in several modifications in the suffrage status of Africans in AmeriKKKa and white females over the years, AmeriKKKa has for all intents and purposes remained the bailiwick of rich, old, white males.
Most people have no idea AmeriKKKa was founded on the principles of white male hegemony, wealth based upon the African slave trade and made possible by the slaughter and genocide against the indigenous inhabitants of this land. Most white AmeriKKKans don't want to know the truth because it would destroy their delusional self-image. They like to think of themselves as, civilized, honorable and freedom loving people. Many blacks folks don't want to know the truth because it reminds us of our subordinate status within the AmeriKKKan socio-economic infrastructure or we are too busy chasing our tails trying to keep up with the latest fads and crazes.
Over the last few decades the ruling elites in AmeriKKKa have conspired to transform this nation into a totalitarian police state linked to their like minded cohorts, family members and business partners in Europe and Asia. This new configuration as Del Jones often reminded us is nothing more than a reshuffling of the deck chairs of the global white supremacy ship of state. If we remembered the past or studied history we would see similarities between the Bu$h administration's use of 9-11 to pass the USA PATRIOT Act(s) which essentially disembowel the US Constitution and Adolph Hitler's use of the Reichstag fire to pass the Enabling Acts of 1933 which ushered in the Third Reich. Most historians are convinced Hitler and his Nazi henchmen actually started the fire in the German Parliament (Reichstag) Building. They subsequently blamed it on the Communists (they found a convenient stooge to pin it on) and used the Reichstag fire as a pretext to begin a reign of terror which transformed the German government from a constitutional democratic republic into essentially a one party fascist dictatorship. Keep in mind the German parliament went along with Hitler's scheme and voted for the changes because of the hysteria Hitler, his Brown Shirts and co-conspirators in the media created to serve their agenda. Everything Hitler did was legal under German law! Does this sound familiar to you at all?
"Although Hitler won the office of German chancellor in legal fashion (the Nazis, after all, were the largest group in the Reichstag or lower house of parliament)), he was, of course, determined to rule Germany without the restraint of a democratically elected parliament. For this to happen he had to set aside the guarantees of civil rights and democratic procedures established by the Weimar Constitution, a tactic that required the approval of two-thirds of sitting representatives. This was achieved by calling a new election (which increased the Nazi vote) and using force and intimidation against the existing parties, especially those of the Socialists and Communists, many of whose elected representatives were jailed as political enemies or forced to flee the country. Once assured of the votes of the Catholic Center party, the two-thirds majority was assured. Thus, over the unavailing opposition of Socialist deputies, the March 24 session gave Hitler approval of legislation enabling him to exercise dictatorial rule for four years, leaving the Nazis free to suborn Germany's hitherto free institutions and subordinate both state and people to the ideological demands of the new regime. Of course the compliant Reichsrat (upper house) followed suit. Inevitably, the Act was renewed in 1937 and persisted until the collapse of Germany in 1945. The official name of the Enabling legislation was ‘Law for the Removal of the Distress of People and Reich.'" The Decrees of 1933 http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/jobrien/reference/ob60.html
Unlike the mass of AmeriKKKans, George W Bu$h and his sponsors are familiar with the past because they or their forefathers lived it. It seems they are using Adolph Hitler's strategies as their play book. The few scholars and researchers who have made the connection between Hitler and the NeoCon agenda see an uncanny similarity between what Hitler did in Germany in the 1020's and ‘30's and what George W Bu$h and his handlers have pulled off since 9-11. "Most Americans have forgotten that Hitler came to power legally. He and the Nazi Party were elected democratically in a time of great national turmoil and crisis. They themselves had done much to cause the turmoil, of course, but that's what makes the Bush comparison so compelling.
Similar to the Bush administration, the Nazis were funded and ultimately ushered into power by wealthy industrialists looking for government favors in the form of tax breaks, big subsidies, and laws to weaken the rights of workers. When the Reichstag (Germany's Parliament building) was set ablaze in 1933 (probably by Nazis), the Nazis framed their political rivals for it. In the general panic that followed, the German Parliament was purged of all left-wing representatives who might be soft on communists and foreigners, and the few who remained then VOTED to grant Chancellor Hitler dictatorial powers. A long, hideous nightmare had begun... The Bush administration isn't any more interested in protecting our freedom from terrorists than Hitler was in protecting Germans from communists, Jews, and all the other groups he scapegoated. The Bush administration is fighting only to protect itself and its corporate sponsors. It hides behind a veil of national security and behind non-stop war headlines of its own creation. And behind that smokescreen, Bush, Inc. is pursuing Hitler's old agenda from the 1920s and 1930s: serving the interests of the corporate industrialists who brought it to power."

Our historical amnesia will be our undoing. Just as Hitler was able to undermine the German Republic by blaming the Reichstag Fire on the Communists; the Bu$hites used 9-11 and their preposterous explanation of what happened on that day when the US military stood down which leads me to believe they knew about it in advance or actually executed it themselves (see Operation Northwoods, an actual US military precedent for such treachery) but they blamed 9-11 on "fanatical Islamofascist terrorists". Just as Hitler used the Reichstag fire to persecute the Communists and Socialists parties, and pass the Enabling Acts of 1933 which allowed his Nazi Party to take total control of the government and wage preemptive wars against his neighbors; Bu$h and Co. are using 9-11 to wage imperialistic wars against countries around the world. These countries are ruled by Muslims that coincidentally to sit over huge reserves of oil and natural gas or that have major geo-strategic relevance.
Like Hitler and his Nazi Party, Bu$h and the US Congress have ushered in a fascist police state in AmeriKKKa under the guise of "national security" stability, protection and anti-terrorism! The Bu$hites have succeeded in not only stealing elections in 200 and 2004 but also in taking over and changing the direction of the government ! This was not just the plan of modern day NeoCons, the AmeriKKKan ruling elites have plotted for decades to install a one world configuration with themselves at the head. They have attempted to do it in a piecemeal fashion one country or region at a time. They do so by controlling the nation's banking infrastructure, finances and currency, then they take over the government and media via ownership, loans, bribes and white mail. Many of these rich and elite AmeriKKKan families had ties to Hitler and his fascist regime including George W Bu$h's grandfather Prescott Bush and his great grandfather Herbert Walker. "How a famous American family made its fortune from the Nazis For the Bush family, it is a lingering nightmare. For their Nazi clients, the Dutch connection was the mother of all money laundering schemes. From 1945 until 1949, one of the lengthiest and, it now appears, most futile interrogations of a Nazi war crimes suspect began in the American Zone of Occupied Germany. Multi-billionaire steel magnate Fritz Thyssen-the man whose steel combine was the cold heart of the Nazi war machine-talked and talked and talked to a joint US-UK interrogation team. For four long years, successive teams of inquisitors tried to break Thyssen's simple claim to possess neither foreign bank accounts nor interests in foreign corporations, no assets that might lead to the missing billions in assets of the Third Reich. The inquisitors failed utterly. Why? Because what the wily Thyssen deposed was, in a sense, true. What the Allied investigators never understood was that they were not asking Thyssen the right question. Thyssen did not need any foreign bank accounts because his family secretly owned an entire chain of banks. He did not have to transfer his Nazi assets at the end of World War II, all he had to do was transfer the ownership documents - stocks, bonds, deeds and trusts--from his bank in Berlin through his bank in Holland to his American friends in New York City: Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker. Thyssen's partners in crime were the father and father-in-law of a future President of the United States." How the Bush family made its fortune from the Nazis by Robert Lederman http://www.john-loftus.com/Thyssen.asp#fortune
Keep in mind Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker weren't the only ones who profited from Hitler and the Nazis. So did Henry and Edsel Ford, The DuPonts, Rockefellers, Mellons as well as General Motors, J.P. Morgan Bank, Goodyear and others. But for many it was not just about business; they were not just capitalists who happened to be fascist sympathizers. They were fascists who wanted to take over the US government themselves! "In the summer of 1933, shortly after Roosevelt's "First 100 Days," America's richest businessmen were in a panic. It was clear that Roosevelt intended to conduct a massive redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. Roosevelt had to be stopped at all costs. The answer was a military coup. It was to be secretly financed and organized by leading officers of the Morgan and Du Pont empires. This included some of America's richest and most famous names of the time:
* Irenee Du Pont - Right-wing chemical industrialist and founder of the American Liberty League, the organization assigned to execute the plot.
* Grayson Murphy - Director of Goodyear, Bethlehem Steel and a group of J.P. Morgan banks.
* William Doyle - Former state commander of the American Legion and a central plotter of the coup.
* John Davis - Former Democratic presidential candidate and a senior attorney for J.P. Morgan.
* Al Smith - Roosevelt's bitter political foe from New York. Smith was a former governor of New York and a codirector of the American Liberty League.
* John J. Raskob - A high-ranking Du Pont officer and a former chairman of the Democratic Party. In later decades, Raskob would become a "Knight of Malta," a Roman Catholic Religious Order with a high percentage of CIA spies, including CIA Directors William Casey, William Colby and John McCone.
* Robert Clark - One of Wall Street's richest bankers and stockbrokers.
* Gerald MacGuire - Bond salesman for Clark, and a former commander of the Connecticut American Legion. MacGuire was the key recruiter to General Butler.
The plotters attempted to recruit General Smedley Butler to lead the coup. They selected him because he was a war hero who was popular with the troops. The plotters felt his good reputation was important to make the troops feel confident that they were doing the right thing by overthrowing a democratically elected president. However, this was a mistake: Butler was popular with the troops because he identified with them. That is, he was a man of the people, not the elite. When the plotters approached General Butler with their proposal to lead the coup, he pretended to go along with the plan at first, secretly deciding to betray it to Congress at the right moment.
What the businessmen proposed was dramatic: they wanted General Butler to deliver an ultimatum to Roosevelt. Roosevelt would pretend to become sick and incapacitated from his polio, and allow a newly created cabinet officer, a "Secretary of General Affairs," to run things in his stead. The secretary, of course, would be carrying out the orders of Wall Street. If Roosevelt refused, then General Butler would force him out with an army of 500,000 war veterans from the American Legion. But MacGuire assured Butler the cover story would work... The businessmen also promised that money was no object: Clark told Butler that he would spend half his $60 million fortune to save the other half.
And what type of government would replace Roosevelt's New Deal? MacGuire was perfectly candid to Paul French, a reporter friend of General Butler's:
‘We need a fascist government in this country… to save the nation from the communists who want to tear it down and wreck all that we have built in America. The only men who have the patriotism to do it are the soldiers, and Smedley Butler is the ideal leader. He could organize a million men overnight.' Indeed, it turns out that MacGuire travelled to Italy to study Mussolini's fascist state, and came away mightily impressed. He wrote glowing reports back to his boss, Robert Clark, suggesting that they implement the same thing." THE BUSINESS PLOT TO OVERTHROW ROOSEVELT http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/Coup.htm
Most of us never heard or read about this because it was kept hush hush by the mainstream media of the day even when General Butler testified before the US Congress and revealed the plot. "The plot fell apart when Butler went public. The general revealed the details of the coup before the McCormack-Dickstein Committee, which would later become the notorious House Un-American Activities Committee. (In the 50s, this committee would destroy the lives of hundreds of innocent Americans with its communist witch hunts.) The Committee heard the testimony of Butler and French, but failed to call in any of the coup plotters for questioning, other than MacGuire. In fact, the Committee whitewashed the public version of its final report, deleting the names of powerful businessmen whose reputations they sought to protect. The most likely reason for this response is that Wall Street had undue influence in Congress also. Even more alarming, the elite-controlled media failed to pick up on the story, and even today the incident remains little known. The elite managed to spin the story as nothing more than the rumors and hearsay of Butler and French, even though Butler was a Quaker of unimpeachable honesty and integrity. Butler, appalled by the cover-up, went on national radio to denounce it, but with little success. Butler was not vindicated until 1967, when journalist John Spivak uncovered the Committee's internal, secret report. It clearly confirmed Butler's story." THE BUSINESS PLOT TO OVERTHROW ROOSEVELT http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/Coup.htm .
When we say the ruling elites and corporate media are in on the 9-11 coverup, this is how it's done. The same way they protected the fascists of the 1930's. We saw that with the Warren and 9-11 Commissions whitewash. The ruling elites love fascism and the regimes of people like Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini are their role models. They also want to establish totalitarian control over the lives of the masses of the people of the world and in that regard a butchers like Joseph Stalin is their hero. We are merely witnessing a newer version of the ruling elites attempts to totally control the US economy via the government and return the country to a robber baron monopoly paradigm to ensure a joint NeoCon and NeoLib configuration in which they control and manipulate the world's wealth, human and natural resources. The Corporations already control the government, yesterday's Senate vote on warrantless wiretapping just made it easier for the fascists to usher in the police state they have been planning for decades. The Nazification of AmeriKKKa is officially upon us.
