Food for Politically Incorrect Thought.
I am getting a creepy feeling of watching a modern replay of history in action.
I am first referring to Barack Obama and his ascension to the Presidency. A messianic Pied Piper for America.
I am also historically referring specifically to the rise to political leadership of Adolf Hitler.
Hitler was born in Austria not Germany. In order to run for political office in Germany he had to become a German citizen. He did this in 1932.
Barack Obama appears to have been born outside the United States (Kenya?).
Hitler rose to power in an economic crises as has Barack Obama.
Hitler was viewed as having messianic powers to save Germany and I keep hearing that Obama is going to save our nation in its “crises”.
Hitler was leader of the National Socialistic German Workers Party (using German abbreviation techniques, NAZI party) and Hitler’s promise was to bring National Socialism to Germany. Socialism on a national scale for all German workers. He kept his promise.
Obama has campaigned and promised socialism on a national scale for all American workers and it looks like he means to keep that promise.
Hitler in furtherance of his goals, placed loyal National Socialists (and old line NAZI’s ) in key leadership positions in the German government.
I see Obama appointing old line radical Socialists into key positions in his administration.
As far as socialism in action methods, Hitler nationalized all industries but used a clever technique. He allowed factory owners and other owners of businesses to have their names remain on the deeds, but they were viewed as “overseers” in their own plants. They were allowed to remain there to implement the Central Planning commands emanating from Berlin. As long as they “did their job” they remained in their “overseer” positions. Otherwise they were replaced with “loyal” Germans.
Obama is implementing Nationalization of various industries. The CEO’s and others in industrial positions of authority are allowed to remain as long as they toe the line on Central Government demands. Oversight of their activities is from Washington.
The Federal Government is “buying” preferred bonds in business as part of this scheme of “bailout”. Preferred bonds having no voting power, but generally can be converted to common stock which does have voting power. A hammer over the heads of business for total Central Planning control at will. CEO’s can be voted out if need be.
Hitler had members of his party who tried to bring down by revolution the Bavarian Government. Hitler went to prison for one year for being a leader of that failed revolution.
Obama has friends and party members like Bill Ayers, a dedicated revolutionary who tried to bring down the US Government and is an expert unrepenitent bomb maker who lost a girl friend due to a untimely bomb detonation. Ayers is still promoting radicalism using stronger action than he used. Bigger bombs for better times.
Hitler is considered to be one of the worlds greatest orators, not on content but on speech delivery capability. He mesmerized even the opposition who lost track of speech content due to his emotional oratorical delivery method.
Hitler convinced a nation that a political party flag was the national flag. That he, Adolf Hitler, WAS the nation Germany. The SS took oaths to Adolf Hitler The Nation, not Germany the Nation. Disloyalty to Hitler was disloyalty to The Nation. Treason to Hitler was treason to Germany.
“The Will of the Führer is the Will of Germany” was a nice propaganda slogan of the times.
I read that Obama is a wonderful speech maker. A great “Pied Piper” (a quote by the way) which “…America needs at this time”. All the press is a-jumble with nothing but praise for his ability to give “hope to America and the world” (by speech making). Suppose we said “Obama is wrong”. Will we be committing treason? I wonder how long that will take.
People went a little mad when Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. The messiah had arrived. Great night time torchlight parades all over Germany that night.
What can I say of the Obama coronation on January 20th that does not invite comparison?
Most of the worlds totalitarian dictators had narcistic personalities. By narcistic I mean an inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity. A gratification derived from admiration of one’s own mental attributes which eventually leads to a belief in personal infallibility, never look backwards on deeds already done because there is no need. Hitler had this type of personality. At first he was promoted as being infallible in politics only. By 1945 he personally believed in being infallible in politics, infallible in leading his political party (NAZI’s), infallible as leader of the civil government, infallible as leader and prime director of all military battles and military strategy on all fronts simultaneously, infallible in religious beliefs etc.
Obama in rising to political leadership seems to have that narcistic personality. It’s on display publically daily. The only one capable of infallibly saving America during crises.
Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (1933-1945), Dr Joseph Goebbels made sure the Newsmedia told the “truth” and had infallible good things to say about NAZI leadership and activities. Not like those Weimar Republic radicals.
I need but look at the American Newsmedia in whatever format it appears in their “reporting” the “News” on Obama for comparison. Who will be the chosen one for our American Minister of Public Enlightenment and Politically Correct Worldview Propagator? Jane Fonda perhaps?
Hitlers power as an absolute dictator rested on one law passed by the Reichstag (German Weimar Parlament). The law was called the Enabling Act. It gave the Chancellor (Hitler) power to amend the Constitution at will to “handle the crises”. It required renewal every 4 years. It was always renewed by the only remaining “loyal” Party in Parliament, the NAZIs. The Weimar Republic never died, it remained as the Will of the Führer.
Will Obama follow the delegated powers granted under the US Constitution, or is it only a obsolete out-of-favor Constitution good only for Happy Days, null and void in times of “crises” and substitutable by the Will of our messianic new President?
Hitler developed the Hitler Youth (Hitler Jungend) for 14 to 18 year old boys to develop the “proper Weltanshauung” (Weltanschauung = a comprehensive conception or image of the universe and of humanity’s relation to it). It finally became mandatory by law to be a Hitler Jungend member for boys of that age. All Hitler Jungend meetings were held on Sunday so the youths would not become confused with talk about that Jew named Jesus, who was promoted by dis-loyal Germans on Sundays.
One of the mandatory meal prayers required of the Hitler Jungend is translated and shown below:
“Führer, my Führer, given me by God. Protect and preserve my life for a long span. You saved Germany in time of need. I thank you for my daily bread. Be with me for a long time, do not leave me, Führer, my Führer, my faith, my light, Hail to my Führer!”
When we start seeing similar prayers like the above prayer with the word Führer replaced with President, and the word Germany replaced with America I think this comparison of historical replay will be complete.
Myself? Well I’ll be in a Re-education Center at Happy Camp in Death Valley, California run by Reverend Wright for containment of less evolved forms. Ah, enjoying the sun and watching Socialism on a National scale for American Workers (that survive).
