Israeli youth go through military training, right? Maybe a special program to have a couple of hundred of those who are good at teaching come to the U.S. and do high-profile education across the nation as an emergency effort? Of course, such an idea might lead the so-called prez to add Israel to the travel ban (weak joke).C. J.

FIVE months...that is ALL it took.<br />FIVE MONTHS for Hitler to change the world, to change us.<br /><br />March: Outlawing the Communist Party, which had had 16.9% of the votes in the 1932 election, and threatening the Social Democrats (later forced to join the Nazi party), exploiting conservatives' fear of Communists. <br /><br />Still March: passing the Enabling Act, which enabled Hitler's government to henceforth pass laws without going through parliament and even without being subject to the constitution. The Enabling Act was supposedly limited to 4 years but always renewed.<br />March/April: first and second Gleichschaltung laws, which de facto removed all power from the German states (Bundesländer) and gave it to the central government<br /><br />April-May: occupying major trade union offices and then outlawing these organizations (3.5 million Germans were members in trade unions at the time) <br /><br />April-July: negotiating a treaty with the Vatican that ensured the Catholic Church wouldn't use their sway to counter Hitler's plans (Reichskonkordat)<br /><br />Until June: outlawing the rest of the non-Nazi parties and making it illegal to found new parties<br /><br />June/July: killing or arresting many of vice chancellor von Papen's associates. von Papen himself was placed under "protective" house arrest and later resigned from his post. Apart from this move against the vice chancellor, the key purpose of this Night of the Long Knives was to get rid of the hooligans of the SA though, some of whom wanted power for themselves. Instead, the SS became Hitler's new favorite.<br /><br />So within 5 months, the Nazis transformed Germany into a single-party state with no civil liberties. Once President von Hindenburg died in 1934, not a single person could legally oppose Hitler anymore.<br /><br />"First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out because I wasn't a Communist..."<br />"... then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist..."<br />"... then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I wasn't a Jew..."<br />"... then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me." -- famous quote by Pastor Martin Niemöller, who spent 1937-1945 in a concentration camp for opposing the introduction of Nazi ideology into Christianity<br /><br />NEVER AGAIN.Cindy Sandersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436591027427176588.post-46085073423852425842017-02-27T10:50:33.860-06:002017-02-27T10:50:33.860-06:00I neglected to sign my comment.

My second is to go to the source, the sad real estate mogul whose pathetic ego abyss can only be filled by his own glorification (leaving no room for any other human beings at all). I wonder what outrage Donald Trump would be able to manifest if the stones of his parents were overturned. Pettiness in power is a symptom of a very sick society and what causes me so much rage is that I can't really be angry at most of the people who voted for him. I mean, you don't get angry at the guy who just lost everything in his pocket to the man running a three card monte game on the corner. The loser is just somebody's fool. Lot's of people know how to play with the fools. That's really a no brainer...it's all feel. A good con man reflexively feels just what his marks want to hear. And the charge in watching all the lemmings do exactly what you want them to do is electric. Remember this one >>>"I could shoot somebody in the middle of 5th Ave and they'd still vote for me"...or something like that. Guy needs to be sent to Devil's Island. I'm serious. He's the worst poison in the world.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005918451919621847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436591027427176588.post-65120563622302162812017-02-27T09:19:53.745-06:002017-02-27T09:19:53.745-06:00Right on, Randy!

Instead of worrying about putting more properties up in the middle east, and focusing on their unending, insatiable greed.....why aren’t they outraged at what is gong on!!!! They claim to be “Orthodox Jews”, and I would never judge anyone’s claim to faith, but they aren’t like ANY Orthodox Jews that I know. The whole thing is so horrible, and yet so predictable....it happened before, IT CAN NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229681080592179364noreply@blogger.com
