Nazification of Germany
vs.
Nazification of America
by Norman D. Livergood
Phase 1
German Nazification: Seizure of Power
1933:
January 30
Hitler is appointed Chancellor by Hindenburg
Weimar Republic President
Paul von Hindenburg appointed Adolph Hitler Chancellor even though the Nazis were only a small minority in the German government.
On his first day as chancellor, Hitler manipulated Hindenburg into dissolving the Reichstag and calling for the new elections
he had wanted - to be held on March 5, 1933. President Hindenburg had fallen under Hitler's spell and was signing just about
anything Hitler put in front of him. Hitler began immediately to orchestrate the complete takeover of all mechanisms of governance
and functions of state, to make Nazi Germany a totalitarian dictatorship.
February 3, 1933
In
a speech to the leading army and navy commanders, Hitler revealed his Lebensraum program for the conquest of "living space"
for the German people, rearmament, and resistance to the Versailles Treaty. He spoke of the importance of the military and
promised not to involve it in domestic political disputes.
Phase 1
American Nazification: Seizure
of Power
1999: November
Bush is appoinited President by the Supreme Court
Bush
is foisted on the American public through a coup d'etat of the Supreme Court after massive election fraud perpetrated by his
brother in Florida.
Thousands of voters were illegally disqualified in the 2000 election in the state of Florida,
when Jeb Bush and his Secretary of State compiled a false list of felons who would not be allowed to vote.
The Supreme
Court was packed with reactionary right-wingers several of whom had conflicts of interest because of their ties to the Bush
family.
Dubya appoints convicted criminals, racists, and corporate-controlled underlings to his cabinet.
January, 2000
Bush pushes his tax cuts for the wealthy through Congress, begins his assaults
on the environment, and commands the FBI to stop investigations concerning the Bin Laden family and other suspected terrorist
cells.
Phase 2
An Atrocity to Subdue the People
February
27, 1933
The Reichstag Fire
On the night the German Parliament Building--the Reichstag--
burned down, Hitler was at Goebbels's apartment having dinner. They rushed to the scene where they met Göring who was already
screaming false charges and making threats against the Communists. At first glance, Hitler described the fire as a beacon
from heaven. "You are now witnessing the beginning of a great epoch in German history. . . This fire is the beginning," Hitler
told a news reporter at the scene.
While not all historians agree on who actually perpetrated the Reichstag Fire,
writers such as Klaus P. Fischer feel that most likely the Nazis were responsible.
A dazed Dutch Communist named Marinus
van der Lubbe was found at the scene and charged with arson. He was later found guilty and executed.
On February 28,
1933--the day after the Reichstag fire--President Hindenburg and Chancellor Hitler invoked Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution,
which permitted the suspension of civil liberties in time of national emergency.
A Decree of the Reich President for
the Protection of the People and State abrogated the following German constitutional protections:
- Free expression of opinion
- Freedom of the press
- Right of assembly and association
- Right to privacy of postal and electronic communications
- Protection against unlawful searches and seizures
- Individual property rights
- States' right of self-government
A supplemental decree created the SA (Storm Troops) and SS (Special Security) Federal police agencies.
Phase 2
An Atrocity to Subdue the People
September 11, 2001
The
Terrorist Attacks
When the Word Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked, Bush was reading to grade
school children in Florida. When informed of the attack by his associates , he continued reading. He then flew to a security
bunker in Nebraska before finally returning to the White House.
No military aircraft had been scrambled to intercept
the four hijacked planes, though there was plenty of time to do so.
The fact that there has been no genuine investigation
into the 9/11 terrorist attack on American citizens creates the odor of a cover-up of gigantic proportions. Some news analysts
point to the possibility that the Bush administration could have been complicit.
Hundreds of suspects were immediately
jailed, without benefit of habeas corpus or other rights. Some of these suspects have already been found guilty of the crime.
The
Bush junta forced the Patriot Act bill through Congress, suspending essential civil liberties. Excusing oppression as essential
to the "war on terrorism," and maintaining that dissent was treason.
The Patriot Act abrogated the following American
constitutional protections:
- Free expression of opinion
- Freedom of the press
- Right of assembly and association
- Right to privacy of postal and electronic communications
- Protection against unlawful searches and seizures
- Individual property rights
- States' right of self-government
Presidential decrees make it possible for military forces to be used to monitor and control the civilian population, in
abrogation of the posse comitatus act.
The Reichstag Fire Syndrome occurs whenever a democracy is destroyed by creating
a law-and-order crisis and offering as a "solution" the abdication of civil liberties and state's rights to a powerful but
unaccountable central dictator. The men of wealth who put the tyrant into power are then able to reap obscene war profits.
Phase 3
The Dictator Destroys Elections and Appoints Himself Dictator
March 24, 1933
The Enabling Act
On March 24, 1933, the Reichstag passed
the Law for Terminating the Suffering of People and Nation, also known as the Enabling Law, essentially granting Adolph Hitler
dictatorial power. There was no further need for elections because the Fuhrer/Dictator made all the decisions!
Since
the Nazis had only been able to gain a 44% plurality in the Reichstag in the March 5, 1933 elections, Hitler looked for another
way to establish a full dictatorship.
Herman Göring--later to become the head of Germany's armed forces--declared that
there was no further need for State governments. So Over the next few weeks, in each of the legal Weimar states the local
Nazi organizations instigated riiots and then summarily replaced the elected state government by appointed Nazi Reich Commissioners
to quell the disorder.
The Nazi legislators sponsored the Enabling Act, a bill that gave Hitler dictatorial powers
for four years. To make sure the law passed, the Nazis imprisoned Communists and created propaganda campaigns to influence
public opinion. Just days before the vote on the bill, the Nazis held a staged ceremony in Potsdam in which Hitler was depicted
as a conservative national leader, not the head of a radical party. Hitler promised that the Enabling Act would only benefit
the German people.
The moment the bill passed, however, the German democratic constitution was abrogated and Nazi Party
rule became absolute. Hitler immediately invoked the new law to rescind the democratic freedoms of the Weimar Republic and
to dissolve political parties and organizations.
The Dictator Established Death Camps
March
22, 1933
Dachau slave labor death camp established
The Hitler regime
established the first concentration camp about 15 kilometers northwest of Munich, dedicated on March 20 by Heinrich Himmler.
It held about 5,000 prisoners, mostly Communists, Social-Democrats, and homosexuals. Bavarian police guarded the prisoners
until April 11, when the SS took over. The slave-labor death camps, so hideous in their reality that Germans didn't want to
hear about them, became an efficient tool in silencing opponents of the regime. Dachau was a "political camp" and the first
Jewish detainees were among the best-known political opponents of the Nazi regime. More than 10,000 Jews from all over Germany
were interned there after the Kristallnacht pogrom. When the systematic genocide of Jews began, the Jewish prisoners were
deported from Dachau and other camps in the Reich to the extermination camps in the East.
Phase 3
The Leader Destroys Elections and Appoints Himself Dictator
November,
2002
The Homeland Security Act
In the 2000 and now again in the midterm 2002 elections, electronic
voting has meant that our democratic right to have our votes counted fairly and accurately has been taken from us by the Bush
junta.
Since we now suffer under the situation where there is no opposition to the criminal Bush regime--most Democrats
having effectively become pawns of the Republicans--then none of the state election frauds will be investigated. We can't
be sure that key races such as that of Mondale in Minnesota and Carnahan in Missouri were not the result of massive vote fraud.
We can be sure that the Florida gubernatorial race was completely fixed.
This sinister phase 3 of the nazification
of America is best understood by reviewing some of the information that Greg Palast has made available. Palast is the investigative
reporter for BBC and the Observer who first exposed the 2000 Florida vote crimes.
94,000 people -- over half of them
African American --were on a "scrub list" in Florida, resulting in their being blocked from voting in the 2000 election. Did
Florida rectify this mistake before the 2002 election? Fuhgeddaboudit! Those voters won't be reinstated in Florida until January
2003--if ever. Electronic, touch screen voting is the basis for election fraud:
- votes can easily be lost through "software glitches"
- Democratic votes can become Republican votes and no one is the wiser
The "touch" screens are made by ES&S, the vendor chosen by Katherine Harris, Florida Secretary of State and current
congressional candidate. The lobbyist who sold that company's system to Jeb and Katherine is Sandy Mortham, founder of Women
for Jeb and Harris' predecessor as Secretary of State. Mortham was the person who instigated the scam in 1998 to find black
voters who could be disqualified.
ES&S machines, not surprisingly, failed to work in Black precincts in 2002. And
of course with electronic voting there is no paper ballot back-up.
In the 2002 mid-term "elections" the Republicans
gained control of all branches of government:
executive, legislative, and judicial. Just as in Hitler's Enabling Act, so Bush Jr. forced the Homeland Security bill through
Congress which gave him complete dictatorial powers:
- the President is able to make any decision he wishes without judicial or legislative restraint
- the executive branch can now carry on its meetings in secret, without scrutiny from the press or the people
- the "homeland security" agents can now intrude in any part of citizen's life
slipped into the Homeland Security bill
at the last moment
- allows police to conduct Internet or telephone eavesdropping willy-nilly with no requirement to ask a court's permission
first
- demands life sentences for hackers that 'recklessly' endanger lives
- allows Net surveillance to gather telephone numbers, IP addresses, and URLs or e-mail information, where an 'immediate
threat to a national security interest' is suspected
- permits ISPs to hand users' records over to law enforcement authorities, overturning current legislation that outlaws
such behaviour
the Homeland Security Information Awareness Office will be run by a former convicted felon
up to 850,000
jobs will be privatized, knocking out union and civil service oversight
On November 14, 2002, as the Senate was being
pressured to pass a hastily-prepared homeland security bill, Senator Byrd spoke out vehemently against the bill as Bush's
grab for dictatorial power--the worst act of tyranny, he said, in the fifty years he's been in Congress.
Secret US Police Concentration Camps
In a revealing admission in June, 1997, the Director of
Resource Management for the U.S. Army confirmed the validity of a memorandum relating to the establishment of a civilian inmate
labor program under development by the Department of the Army. The document states, "Enclosed for your review and comment
is the draft Army regulation on civilian inmate labor utilization" and the procedure to "establish civilian prison camps on
installations."
Amid widespread rumors, Congressman Henry Gonzales clarified the question of the existence of civilian
detention camps. In an interview, Gonzalez stated, "The truth is yes -- you do have these stand by provisions, and the plans
are here...whereby you could, in the name of stopping terrorism...evoke the military and arrest Americans and put them in
detention camps."
On Sunday, November 10th, the New York Times announced that 200,000 to 250,000 troops would be used
to attack Iraq, while 265,000 National Guard and Reserve personnal would be called to active duty--MOST OF WHICH WILL BE DEPLOYED
IN THE UNITED STATES! Is Bush at war with Iraq or with American citizens?
