Ever wonder how the German people could have gone along with a regime bent on world conquest and genocide? How a country so well-grounded in art, culture, philosophy, science, and rational thought could have so willingly subscribed to the machinations of a madman - a country where most of the intellectual elite and a large percentage of the everyday people considered Hitler a fool and regarded Mein Kampf as the illiterate ramblings of an idiot? How such a people could have been so enthusiastic in the pursuit of policies that most knew would ultimately destroy not only much of the world but their own country as well?

To pluck the fruit of total domination of the sheep of the field. Quite a few members of the flock still have a touch of dog or even wolf. And they fight back seeing the horror of corperatism triumphant smashing its way over the lives of people like you or me. So we ( the forces of \u201cdemocracy\u201d) managed to defeat with horrific loss and pain, the forces of fascism.\r\n Much money was made. It was a good war, our kind of war. Lots of our guys never came home, much grief and bitterness flowed with the triumph of victory at its end. But strangely no one wanted to talk or hear about where the money to finance \u201c that lunatic corporal\u201d had come from or our ham fisted approach to Imperial Japan\u2019s annexation of territory near \u201cour\u201d ocean. Much money was made it was a good war one that gave California the gift of most of the fishing and agricultural assets of newly relocated Japanese Americans(to be compensated, of course at 1940$ property assessments values, decades later) available for sale at UNBELIEVABLE discounts to the joy of envious competing enterprises. \r\n Fascism however never was in any danger. It got smarter, better technology and even tighter control over modes of communication and education. With our taxes It added more muscle and teeth. It gives us our extravagant (some of us) lifestyle. We are just in another greed feeding frenzy with the scraps and blooming blood of its attention now becoming too obvious to ignore. Now it's starting to feed more upon us. The world will not forgive us as a nation if we don\u2019t stop this (their) nightmare. \r\n \r\n ","author":"Sheepdog","parent_id":19718,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-10-11 02:58:23","modified":"2013-11-10 23:46:52","fileurl":""}]}
