Brittanica Online Encyclopaedia describes the Reichstag Fire as "a key event in the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship and sometimes believed to have been contrived by the newly formed Nazi government itself to turn public opinion against its opponents and to assume emergency powers." Or, in other words, a commonly held belief is that the Nazis themselves set the fire and blamed it on their political opponents.
Of course there are vast differences here. But 9/11 was a HUGE event that was used as a catalyst for future endeavors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_Fire_Decreequote:
On the evening of February 27, 1933 — six days before the parliamentary election — fire broke out in the Reichstag chambers. While the exact circumstances of the fire remain unclear to this day, what is clear is that Hitler and his supporters quickly capitalized on the fire as a means by which to speed their consolidation of power. Seizing on the burning of the Reichstag building as the opening salvo in a communist uprising, the Nazis were able to throw millions of Germans into a convulsion of fear at the threat of Communist terror. The official account stated:
The burning of the Reichstag was intended to be the signal for a bloody uprising and civil war. Large-scale pillaging in Berlin was planned.... It has been determined that ... throughout Germany acts of terrorism were to begin against prominent individuals, against private property, against the lives and safety of the peaceful population, and general civil war was to be unleashed....
There were terrorists in Nazi Germany too, except they were jewish communist and the masses were thrown into hysteria...Sound familiar?
quote:
The decree, officially the Verordnung des Reichspräsidenten zum Schutz von Volk und Staat (Order of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State), invoked the authority of Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution which allowed the Reichspräsident to take any appropriate measure to remedy dangers to public safety.
There it is again, mass hysteria and fear used to seize unquestioned authority...
quote:
On the basis of Article 48 paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the German Reich, the following is ordered in defense against Communist state-endangering acts of violence
Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124 and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. It is therefore permissible to restrict the rights of personal freedom [habeas corpus], freedom of opinion, including the freedom of the press, the freedom to organize and assemble, the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications, and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.
Most of those things do not apply to us, the Facists in the Bush Administration know it would be suicide to attempt, but they did try and continue too:
quote:
the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications, and warrants for house searches,
Lets Listen to Adolph Hitlers right hand man, Hermann Goring:
quote:
In keeping with the purpose and aim of the decree the additional measures ... will be directed against the Communists in the first instance, but then also against those who co-operate with the Communists and who support or encourage their criminal aims.... I would point out that any necessary measures against members or establishments of other than Communist, anarchist or Social Democratic parties can only be justified by the decree ... if they serve to help the defense against such Communist activities in the widest sense.
So you see, They were telling the Germans "Don't worry, if you're not providing aid and comfort to the enemy this does not apply to you" and that is why many Americans oppose ANY restrictions on our freedoms no matter how small because of external threats.
Lets continue:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act_of_1933quote:
The formal name of the Enabling Act was Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich ("Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation").
It even has a name no one would dare argue against...Kind of like the Patriot Act.
quote:
ARTICLE 2:Laws enacted by the government of the Reich may deviate from the constitution as long as they do not affect the institutions of the Reichstag and the Reichsrat. The rights of the President remain undisturbed.
May deviate from the constitution so long as....
quote:
ARTICLE 3:Laws enacted by the Reich government shall be issued by the Chancellor and announced in the Reich Gazette. They shall take effect on the day following the announcement, unless they prescribe a different date. Articles 68 to 77 of the Constitution do not apply to laws enacted by the Reich government.
Article 68 and 77 of the Constitution do not apply to laws enacted by the Reich government.....
There it is again....Slowly but surely the constitution is being ripped and gutted, for the protection of the state and people of course.
quote:
ARTICLE 4:Treaties of the Reich with foreign states which affect matters of Reich legislation shall not require the approval of the bodies of the legislature. The government of the Reich shall issue the regulations required for the execution of such treaties.
Shall not require the approval of the bodies of the legislature....Its becoming quite obvious isn't it?
quote:
Under the Act, the government had acquired the authority to pass laws without either parliamentary consent or control. Unprecedentedly, these laws could even deviate from the Constitution.
You guys ever heard of
Presidential Directive 51? Here is a short clip that explains what the Bush Administration wants incase of another "National Emergency":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjZymcRfDTs(Please watch the clip despite it being on devil-youtube its footage from CSPAN)
Here is what I am trying to say:
The Bush Administration has indeed tried to strip Americans from basic rights by using hysterical paranoid fear-mongering rants....This is the same strategy the Nazi Government used to strip their citizens of basic rights, unfortunately they did not have 24/7 information at their finger tips and had to "trust" their government...After all, the German people were under seize after the reighstag fire
Its the same crap...Fear Tactics, unnecessary laws that ONLY benefit the government, the vilification of an outside "enemy" to muster support, "Homeland Defense"?? The Nazi's originated that stupid term...
One day i belive, when i'm too old to read this text the truth will show the Bush Administration had a different agenda planned for America. This is not a Bush bash, he is too much of a simpleton, its the men behind the veil I worry about.
