Goebbels would be envious of what is going on in this country today.
He certainly was right about how to get people to go along with the destruction of rights. But we thought we were superior to the German people, that they were stupid, or evil or something. And it turns out that even with that historical lesson, a frightening number of people who have a lot more access to knowledge than the German people did, are more than willing to believe that they are in dire danger from some entity they cannot even identify. With all the warnings we have received and all the lessons from history, this tactic still works. Muslims! Evil! Be Scared! We will protect you!
Amazing anyone in today's world is still willing to buy into these tactics.
So please speak for yourself. The good news is that millions of Americans are NOT willing to give up their rights based on manufactured fear. We have more to fear from other Americans as the numbers show, and from Government policies that allow tens of thousands of Americans die each for lack of HC, than from these shadowy, foreign, 'brown people'.
