21st Century Amerika: The Fourth Reich | Philip A. Farruggio [View all]



Philip A. Farruggio -- World News Trust

Nov. 11, 2014

In Joachim Fest's fine biography of Adolf Hitler, aptly titled Hitler, we learn many things never before taught in our World History classes here.

To delve into it now with the needed detail from this 700+ page masterpiece would be futile for me the columnist. There is just so much to digest and comprehend about this Austrian of little education and no professional calling who became the Fuhrer.

Yet, throughout the book one cannot help but realize just how much the movers and shakers of our Amerikan empire copied tactics and outright propaganda from the Hitler gang. The use of the term Fatherland to describe Germany rings so close to post 9/11 Amerika's choice of Homeland as in Homeland Security.

Ever since 9/11 and our subsequent invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, each time there is a major sporting event they spread out the giant American flag and trot out the honor guard to sing our national anthem. The real connivance is how they always show us American GIs dressed in camouflage, as if they just came from the battlefield.
