Here’s a descriptive excerpt from Milton Mayer’s book:
“They Thought They Were Free” about the enslavement of the German people by the Nazi Regime.

Thanks, Frank, that is a “must-read” in my opinion.
During the Bush II administration I referred to many of our civil liberties losses as creeping Fascism. Now, under the Obama administration, the erosion of those civil liberties that were illegal under the Bush II admin. have been made legal. It’s definitely worse now.
Here’s an article from 2007: https://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2007/09/02/are-we-good-germans-by-ed-ciaccio/
Thanks, Lo. I love Ed Ciaccio. Good article with plenty of links which I remember reading back then and before.2007.
Pertinent to this thread, we went to see the movie,”Woman In Gold” last night, based on a true story about stolen paintings by the Nazis. Very good screenplay, acting, directing, photography, musical score…. Academy Award material!
Funny thing, Lo, the first time I heard about Milton Mayer was in one of Thom Hartmann’s articles in the early 2000’s. I don’t know why he is so kind to the Dronebama, and the Democrats what with their record for war, torture, fascism at home and imperial ambitions abroad.
Yes, it should be a must-read if people are ready to see the similarities between what happened over there and what has been happening to us here.
gotta protect us from the terrorists, folks! They’re omnipresent, ya know!
When Thomas Jefferson mentioned “eternal vigilance,” he wasn’t referring to Huxley’s, Orwell’s, or the NSA, CIA, FBI, and other agencies of Uncle Sam’s version of “eternal surveillance.”
It is “we the peons” – oops, I mean “people” who need to be watching those agencies of the fascist/imperialist government.
Fab interview ~ required listening (ha ha…!)
Good one, David.
