Is History Repeating itself?

In March 1933, the Enabling Act became law in Germany, granting the chief executive the power to enact laws without legislative oversight, effectively dismantling the system of checks and balances.

This pivotal legislation marked the transition from a democratic republic to a totalitarian dictatorship.

By September of that year, Germany had become a one-party state, consolidating the power of the Nazi regime and eliminating political opposition.

During the liquidation of the ghettos starting in 1942, trains were used to transport the condemned populations to death camps. To implement the “Final Solution”, the Nazis made the Deutsche Reichsbahn an indispensable element of the mass extermination machine, wrote historian Raul Hilberg.

Today masked immigration agents are taking unwanted immigrants to detention facilities.

Does any of that history remind anyone of what is happening in the United States today?

There was No One Left

Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984) was a German anti-Nazi theologian[1] and Lutheran pastor. He is best known for his statement, “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist …… and there was no one left to speak for me.”

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn’t a Jew.
When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

 Donald Trump spreads the same kind of intolerance. First it was the Mexicans now it’s the Muslims. Who will be next?

Will you speak out?

Dictator or King?

A San Bernardino born Hispanic was arrested by masked men wearing “border patrol” vests. A popular Oregon vineyard owner was taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody outside his church in Oregon on Thursday.    

If you have brown skin you are subject to arrest. Donald Trump’s words saying immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country.’ The Biden campaign likened the comments to Hitler.

The raids by ICE are stunning but no surprise.

Terry Moran defends ‘fair and accurate’ post about Trump that got him dropped by ABC News. Both ABC and CBS have been sued by Donald Trump because he did not like their reporting.

Where does this end?

If Trump has his way he will be a dictator or a king.

President Donald Trump on Meet the Press

This episode captured on YouTube should alarm you

In the full, unedited version of Donald Trump’s recent Meet the Press interview with Kristen Welker—released online by NBC but not aired in full during the broadcast—Trump made several striking remarks that were omitted from the televised segment.

One such moment came when Trump claimed credit for getting Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to remove tariff impact notices from the platform. “I asked him about it and he said I don’t want to do that and he took it off immediately,” Trump said, calling Bezos “a very nice guy” and suggesting a friendly relationship between the two. 

President Donald Trump spoke for an hour with NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker and claimed that things going wrong in America are the fault of former President Joe Biden — and things that go well are because of him.

“When does it become the Trump economy?” Welker asked Trump in the extensive interview that aired Sunday.
