Creeping Fascism

The voices of the past, on Recognizing the Unrecognizable…

"You will understand me when I say that my Middle High German was my life. It was all I cared about. I was a scholar, a specialist. Then, suddenly, I was plunged into all the new activity, as the university was drawn into the new situation; meetings, conferences, interviews, ceremonies, and, above all, papers to be filled out, reports, bibliographies, lists, questionnaires. And on top of that were the demands in the community, the things in which one had to, was ‘expected to' participate that had not been there or had not been important before. It was all rigmarole, of course, but it consumed all one's energies, coming on top of the work one really wanted to do. You can see how easy it was, then, not to think about fundamental things. One had no time."

"Those," I said, "are the words of my friend the baker. ‘One had no time to think. There was so much going on.'"

"Your friend the baker was right," said my colleague. "The dictatorship, and the whole process of its coming into being, was above all diverting. It provided an excuse not to think for people who did not want to think anyway. I do not speak of your ‘little men,' your baker and so on; I speak of my colleagues and myself, learned men, mind you. Most of us did not want to think about fundamental things and never had. There was no need to. Nazism gave us some dreadful, fundamental things to think about--we were decent people--and kept us so busy with continuous changes and ‘crises' and so fascinated, yes, fascinated, by the machinations of the ‘national enemies,' without and within, that we had no time to think about these dreadful things that were growing, little by little, all around us. Unconsciously, I suppose, we were grateful. Who wants to think?

"To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it--please try to believe me--unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,' that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures' that no ‘patriotic German' could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.

"And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,' collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in--your nation, your people--is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.

"Once the war began, the government could do anything ‘necessary' to win it; so it was with the ‘final solution of the Jewish problem,' which the Nazis always talked about but never dared undertake, not even the Nazis, until war and its ‘necessities' gave them the knowledge that they could get away with it. The people abroad who thought that war against Hitler would help the Jews were wrong. And the people in Germany who, once the war had begun, still thought of complaining, protesting, resisting, were betting on Germany's losing the war. It was a long bet. Not many made it."

How ironic then that the persecuted have become the persecutors, using the tactics of their former oppressors to destroy those they wish to control and/or exterminate. 9/11 was their Reichstag Fire (a near-perfect False Flag Operation - but for the "Dancing Israelis"), the pretext to launch their plan – rooted in revenge and greed. But they have taken it one step farther, compelling others to do the job on their behalf.

From the article:

The American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) said newspaper editors don't claim to be infallible. "However, the First Amendment makes it clear no person or branch of government has the prerogative to usurp any American's right to speak or print what he or she believes is important and relevant truth. We believe honorable debate would focus on the issues raised by the reporting, not on attacks on the truth-tellers," it said.

AMEN.

Now how about revealing the truth of 9/11 and the fact that, according to the FBI, the purported Bin Laden confession video tape that we were subjected to in the aftermath of 9/11 has been deemed NOT CREDIBLE by the FBI, AND that the WANTED poster for Bin Laden DOES NOT include any offenses related to 9/11.

Is there a bigger story than this?

Headline:

"Bin Laden NOT WANTED In Connection With 9/11 - FBI SAYS"

Where are the Newspaper Editors on THIS STORY?

Google: Fake bin laden video

Google: FBI most wanted bin laden

The Washington Post is intentionally misleading you about Bin Laden:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/27/AR200608 2700687.html

That the administration felt compelled to encourage the Washington Post to publish this story is direct evidence of the blogosphere's influence.

We've been seeing this story repeated countless times right here in these threads.

It was likely as a direct result of those continued efforts that Keith Olbermann featured it as part of his "Worst Person In The world" segment a week ago - which has subsequently led Rove to try to knock the story down now before it gathers more steam.

The fact is that the purported Bin Laden Confession video sited in this article is itself a blatant forgery. The FBI fails to confirm its authenticity.

The Post knows this to be the case, but intentionally used false information to dissuade further investigation into the fact that BIN LADEN WAS NOT INVOLVED IN 9/11.

The Post knows that there is an actual Bin Laden statement that was issued in the aftermath of 9/11 during which Bin Laden stated emphatically that he had nothing to do with 9/11.

The Post is performing Government PsyOps with this story - further evidence of the Administration's complicity in 9/11.

It's not going to work, Karl.

We know.

Have you actually LOOKED at the person in the fake Bin Laden video?

The FBI declines to confirm its authenticity.

Top Bin Laden Expert: The Tapes are Fakes Kevin Barrett

As a PhD in Islamic and Arabic Studies, I hate to say this, but I'll say it anyway. The events of 9/11 had nothing to do with Islam. The war on terror itself is as phony as the latest "Bin Laden tape."

Compare the nose of the actor in the video tape with that of Bin Laden:

This is NOT BIN LADEN.

Repeat this information often.

LOOK AT THE VIDEO - IT'S FAKE.
