Pulling down statutes is just another form of book burning. If something
conveys a message that fascists don’t like, whether a book, a statue or
anything else, destroy it! Burn it! Actually, if you brought back to life
a German who was on the street in Berlin on Kristallnacht and dropped him
down in Seattle, Portland, New York, Chicago, and some other America cities
as well, I suspect he would look around and think “Wow, this is worse than
Kristallnacht.”
Is this Kristallnacht all over again?
*The following is by Journalist Wayne Allyn Root, 21 June 2020; this short
article is interesting, informative and distressing – Mr. Root draws some
alarming parallels between what happened in Nazi Germany and what is
happening today in America. *
Question: Is America starting down the path of Nazi Germany?
I cannot express how truly sad writing this op-ed has made me. But I’m a
patriotic American. And I’m an American Jew. I have studied the beginnings
of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. And I can clearly see parallels with
what is happening in America today. Thank God we have President Trump (at
the moment) keeping us from heading too far down this tragic path. But I
must warn my fellow Americans that we are clearly headed in a frightening
and tragic direction.
I know I’m not alone. A recent poll shows 80% of the American public
believes things are spiraling “out of control.”
I never thought I’d write the following words about living in America:
Those caught in the middle of the recent “protests” in American cities,
especially those seeing their businesses looted, burned or destroyed;
seeing police stations burned or seized by radicals; or seeing their town’s
downtown business district taken hostage by thugs finally understand how
Jews felt in Nazi Germany during the infamous Kristallnacht.
This is exactly how it started in Nazi Germany all those decades ago:
— Windows shattered, stores looted and burned.
— Blackshirts roaming the streets demanding people kneel at their feet.
— Censorship, book burning, snitching by neighbors and co-workers.
— Media propaganda and manipulation.
— The police and “good people” doing nothing to help.
Amazingly, it’s happening here today. And far too many political leaders,
media and “good people” are telling us it is acceptable.
All of us are experiencing some aspect of this dark period in America’s
history:
— Many of us don’t fly an American flag at our homes. We don’t dare put a
Trump sign on our lawn or in our store window, or put a Trump bumper
sticker on our car, for fear of violence or vandalism.
— On the TV, we all see supposedly rational and respected people calling
us racist solely because of the color of our skin.
— Our free speech is monitored, censored, shadow-banned or outright banned
by those who control social media.
— Our great American history is being destroyed, denigrated or erased.
Radicals are toppling the statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Abraham Lincoln and even abolitionists — heroes who bravely fought against
slavery.
— A black NASCAR driver can wrap his car with “Black Lives Matter,” but an
NBA announcer loses his job for tweeting, “All Lives Matter,” and a
Philadelphia newspaper editor is forced to resign for writing, “Buildings
Matter, Too,” as his city burns.
— NFL superstar quarterback Drew Brees was forced to beg for forgiveness
for saying he will always stand for our national anthem.
College football coach Mike Gundy was forced to beg for forgiveness from
his players for wearing a T-Shirt with the name of the conservative One
America News Network.
— Demented never-Trumper Rick Wilson tried to destroy Domino’s pizza for
thanking a prominent Trump supporter for a compliment on its pizza in a
corporate tweet … in 2012 … before Trump ever even got into politics.
When did America lose its freedom of speech and expression? When did we
decide to erase all of our history? Isn’t that what ISIS does?
*OPEN YOUR EYES.* Study what happened in Nazi Germany during the infamous
Kristallnacht. The night of Nov. 9-10, 1938, marked the beginning of the
Nazis’ attack on the Jews. Jewish homes and businesses were looted,
desecrated and burned while the police and “good people” stood by and
watched. Nazis laughed and cheered as books were burned.
The name Kristallnacht refers to the litter of broken glass … exactly the
same as what we saw take place in major American cities over the past few
weeks. How did they compare? See the blocks of boarded-up businesses all
over Manhattan. See 700 buildings damaged, burned and destroyed in
Minneapolis. See downtown Seattle run by a “warlord” and armed domestic
terrorists with AR-15s.
In Paris this week, protesters chanted, “Dirty Jews!” The Marxist mayor of
New York City has joined tens of thousands at a “Black Trans Lives Matter”
event in Brooklyn while ordering parks and playgrounds for Orthodox Jewish
children welded shut.
Today’s version of book burning is HBO Max banning “Gone With the Wind,” a
photo of Winston Churchill “disappearing” from Google, Hollywood canceling
“Cops” and “Live PD.”
Yes, all that happened in just the last few weeks. You may not have heard
about it because it was scarcely reported by the mainstream propaganda
media.
*Never forget the famous Holocaust lesson:* After they have come for me,
they will come for you, and there will be no one left to stop them.
Trust me, they’re coming for all of us.
They won’t stop. *This will only get worse and out of control, unless we
draw a line in the sand, stand up to the bullies and don’t let them change
your mind on how America should be!*
