A sobering bit of history - repeating itself

From Don Surber:

Democrats improve upon Reichstag fire
On February 27, 1933, communist Marinus van der Lubbe set ablaze the Reichstag, which was the home of the German parliament. Newly installed Chancellor Hitler used this event as an excuse to remove communist members from parliament, giving the Nazis a majority. The Nazis then began suspending civil liberties.

Democrats want to turn the storming of the Capitol on January 6 into their own Reichstag fire, and the Republican establishment is willing to go along with the gag.

And gag it is.

They want to silence everyone. The American press is a willing accomplice.

Don highlights the central aspect of what is happening here:

Making money no longer matters to Corporate America. Political power does.

The conformity is a lot like Germany nearly 90 years ago. Hitler was not particularly brilliant nor a very good administrator. Corporate Germany was. You have to realize, the Germans in 1930s were the best educated people in the world.

But they were bitter about the outcome of the Great War, as it was known then. Their hate consumed them, and in the end it left Germany in rubble and divided in two.

Dissent is now hate speech, and hate speech is now violence, and violence is now domestic terrorism.

Amazon profits were way up during the lockdown.  Political power is all that they crave.   Much much more at the site - ignore at your peril.

The bit of hope at the bottom of the box is this.  Soviet dissidents had mimeograph machines, we have the internet. President Trump's 2020 re-election was a landslide.  People will not forget that.
