1933 - "Time and again, they used legal means to give their actions a semblance of legality."


"After taking power, Hitler and the Nazis turned Germany into a dictatorship. Time and again, they used legal means to give their actions a semblance of legality. Step by step, Hitler managed to erode democracy until it was just a hollow facade. Things did not end there, though." (from, Germany 1933: from Democracy to Dictatorship - Anne Frank House)


People forget that at the time of the Nazi's coming to power in 1933, Germany was considered the most advanced, cutting edge, nation on earth. They were not backward or even particularly conservative. To assume it could never happen in our generation, in a modern Western nation, would be naïve to say the least.

The Democrats' Inspiration for the January 6th Overreaction

Image
The Reichstag fire took place on February 27, 1933, in Germany. The Reichstag, the German parliament building, was set on fire under suspicious circumstances. The Nazis, led by Adolf Hitler, quickly capitalized on the incident to further their political agenda, sound familiar? In the same way, Democrats and Elites left-leaning Republicans decided to move boldly through the January 6th investigation which has a chilling similarity to how the Nazis reacted to the burning of the German Reichstag in 1933. Just as the Democrats blamed the MAGA Republicans , Nazis publicly blamed their largest political rivals in Germany for the Reichstag fire. They went on to claim it was part of a larger conspiracy to overthrow the government, just like the Democrats did during the  United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol  activities throughout 2021. The Reichstag event played a crucial role in solidifying Nazi power in Germany and th...

The Open Southern Border and the Democrats' Racist Notions: Brown-Skinned People and Manipulation

Image
This is a lithograph depicting representatives of the 41st and 42nd Congress of the United States (1892) who were the first persons of color to serve in this capacity in our legislative branch of government. They were all Republicans and today represents a reminder of how easy it is for a society to destroy the hopes and dreams of whole generations of people in order to achieve and hold political dominance. When discussing our open southern border in the United States, identity politics and political affiliations often intersect, leading to a troubling reality. The belief of the Democrat Party that brown-skinned people are easier to manipulate and control, particularly in the context of electoral politics. We are going to examine the racist implications of this belief, highlighting its racist nature and emphasizing the importance of rejecting such stereotypes. Additionally, we will show that this has been a decades-old plan for Democrats one that they are currently executing. We w...

Admit it or not, we have to face the fact, we are in a literal war with China.

Image
Years ago, we were given a gift of two ATVs that were made in China. On the surface, it seemed like quite an amazing gift. Unfortunately, in a matter of months, we realized that you kind of get what you pay for. Now, 10 years later, Chinese ATVs still leave something to be desired, yet they sell big. For the consumer, they’re cheap, in many cases, 1/3 the price of more reputable and well-known brands. For the Chinese companies that sell them, they’re cheap to manufacture and cheap to sell. But the fact still remains: tens of thousands of people make the decision to buy Chinese, and the net effect is that when it comes to ATVs, in many respects, the Chinese are eating the big brands' lunches. When you started reading this post, you might have thought it was going to be about a literal war with China. Well, the reality is that we are at war with China, and over the last 3 years, we have suffered millions of casualties, including over 100,000 dead in 2023 alone. What are we talking ab...
