Past and Present History Demonstrate Abuse of National Emergency

National emergency is an interesting and useful government tool. History in general demonstrates the point.

The national lockdown to “flatten the curve for two weeks” has turned into three mandatory shots, that may or may not work, to keep your job and feed your family. Many nursing homes in Fairfax, Virginia, have been under lockdown again, with staff wearing not just masks but shields as well and patients wearing masks even when alone in their rooms.

The corporate owners of the nursing home where my mom is a resident admitted that there were zero positive Covid-19 tests among the patients and zero positive Covid-19 tests among the staff. Have they lifted the lockdown? No, they are waiting for further instructions from the health department of Virginia, they claim. Even prisoners in jail get more free time outside for fresh air, sunshine, and recreation than the nursing home patients.

Are we really free in America anymore or is it just an illusion of the masses who are dumbed down to levels not even the most staunch Soviet or fascist totalitarians would have ever dreamed of?

Lockdowns were presented to the American public as a national emergency due to a pandemic. Billions of dollars have been made in profits at the expense of the American public while pharma “saved” their lives with Covid-19 vaccine, rushed to the market under emergency use authorization.

Cheap drug cures were denied to people and still are in many states and countries. The globalist propaganda vilified useful drugs and fired any doctors and nurses who were actually preserving their Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. They kept most of their patients alive without vaccines.

Four weeks after Hitler took office, a national emergency was proclaimed.  It was not a medical one but it violated the rights of men just the same. None of the ordinary German citizens thought the emergency extraordinary or that it violated or even mildly inhibited their rights as human beings. None of the “little Hitlers,” as Milton Mayer called them, local or provincial officials, ascribed any moral evil to Hitler or to his constant edicts and mandates.

According to Mayer and the ten ordinary Germans he interviewed after WWII, Hitler was a man, who had his fellow Germans’ interest in mind, and, by doing what he did, became a testament to democracy, to the “ability of us little men to become great and to rule the whole world. Such a man is the modern pattern of the demagogical tyrant, ‘the people’s friend’ of Plato’s mob democracy.” He was a “charismatic leader,” not unlike some modern leaders.

While writing the introduction to his book, They Thought They Were Free, Milton Mayer stated: “As an American, I was repelled by the rise of National Socialism in Germany. As an American of German descent, I was ashamed. As a Jew, I was stricken. As a newspaperman, I was fascinated.”

As a newspaperman Mayer analyzed Nazism and the Nazi doctrine based on racial superiority by interviewing ten ordinary Germans. Mayer even tried to get a meeting with Adolf Hitler in Berlin in 1935ing  but failed.

Mayer wrote that Nazism was the mass movement of the average German and “not the tyranny of a diabolical few over helpless millions.” While he did not find the average German, he claimed, he found instead “ten Germans sufficiently different from one another in background, character, intellect, and temperament to represent, among them, tens of millions of Germans and sufficiently like unto one another to have been Nazis.”

Mayer concluded that “Nazism overcame Germany  not by attack from without or by subversion from within,” but it was what most Germans wanted, under pressure of combined reality and illusion.” And Mayer realized that citizens from any country, who would succumb to that kind of pressure, “no Constitution, no laws, no police, and certainly no army would be able to protect us from harm.”

Not unlike our large cities today, the radicalism of the German cities bred howling Communists, then howling Nazis, and “nobody knows just how they will howl tomorrow.”

Uneducated men, young and old, who knew nothing about politics, history, wars, and the world, claimed to be Nazis, national socialists. The massive newspapers, fliers, and posters everywhere spewing non-stop propaganda convinced them that they knew what they were talking about. Many had a copy of Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf, but never opened it.

How did they “feel” about the regime? The regime promised the uneducated bread and a “thousand year Reich.” It did not matter to the masses how long this empire would last. The uneducated masses were only concerned about the pebble in their shoes as the Roman soldiers used to say. In this case the pebble in their shoes was bread and a people’s car (Volkswagen) in every driveway.

History does repeat itself. American masses want free education, free food, free housing, free health care, free child care, free guaranteed income, equity of outcomes, and free travel. That they are going to get it at the expense of someone else’s freedom and violation of their human rights, they don’t care.

Most educated Germans were offended by the Nazi book burnings and even by the Nazi burnings of synagogues, and by Kristallnacht. Then there was the Reichstag fire, the burning in 1933 of the Parliament building, four weeks after Hitler took power. It was blamed on the communists. Then synagogues were blown up as a “safety measure” and Jews were locked up for their own “protection.”

The “little men” in Germany had no substantial status in the community - “if everybody is little, nobody is little.” And such men can be easily manipulated, controlled, and ruled. The “little men” were sixty-nine million plus in a nation of seventy million. “They were the Nazis, the little men to whom, if ever they voiced their own views outside their own circles, bigger men politely pretended to listen without ever asking them to elaborate.” (Milton Mayer, p. 45)

These little men believed in the Nazi program and practice, “the democratic part.” They did not know that Nazism [national socialism] was total tyranny which degraded its adherents and enslaved its opponents and adherents alike; terrorism and terror in daily life, private and public; brute personal and mob injustice at every level of association; a flank attack upon God and a frontal attack upon the worth of the human person and the rights which that worth implies.” (Milton Mayer, p. 47)

One German, when asked why he believed in National Socialism [Nazism], he replied, “Because it promised to solve the unemployment problem. And it did. But I never imagined what it would lead to. Nobody did.” (Milton Mayer, p. 47)

But with it they enjoyed ten-dollar holiday trips for the family in the ‘Strength Through Joy’ Nazi program, trips to Norway in summer and Spain in winter, trips to people who had never before dreamed of such trips. Nobody went hungry, nobody was cold, nobody was sick and uncared for. What is there not to like about Nazism from the standpoint of the ordinary German? The horrors of the Nazi regime were never advertised anywhere nor did they reach any ordinary German. (p. 49)

The National Socialist regime promised bread and butter and delivered housing, cars, health, and hope, a New Order the average German liked. They were enthralled during Nazi festivals by everyone’s enthusiasm after so many years of galloping inflation and disillusion. They explained the looting in this euphoria of predatory behavior with euphemisms such as “little men gone wild.”

As long as the “little men” were left alone in their mundane lives, the compulsory military service, the secret police, the rationing, the constant propaganda on street posters, in newspapers, on radio, on fliers, the Friday evenings and Sunday mornings compulsory public volunteer work, and the propaganda on public address systems were not meant for them. “Service to the tyranny” was necessary and non-compliance was highly frowned upon.

When on November 10, 1938, Mayer wrote, a mob of children were carrying sacks of candy out of a Jewish candy store whose windows had been smashed, parents and bystanders were watching and did nothing and said nothing. Only one witness is alleged to have said, “You are teaching your children to steal.”

In 2020 America, we all watched in horror as mobs of American young people looted and set fire to store after store and none were punished and sent to jail and good Americans did nothing, just watched.

Mayer believed that the ordinary Germans were guilty of tyranny and Nazism because “nothing was done, or attempted, that they would not stand for.” Nobody rose to protest the sacrilege, the lawless destruction of valuable property, statues, books, synagogues, stores, etc., and nobody clamored for authorities to uphold the law.

And history repeats itself in another place and in another time. The citizens go along with the program and remain silent.

Fear and Anxiety Replaced "Hope and Change"

There is palpable fear and anxiety blanketing the souls of hardworking Americans who get up every day and go to work hoping with increased trepidation that things will improve. The MSM and the President are telling them that the economy is doing well when reality paints a different picture.

In light of the forced passage of Obamacare, there is fear of loss of health insurance, of the best health care in the world, of doctor shortages, of the dreaded 15 bureaucratic death panels appointed to deny as many procedures as possible, and of shortages of medications. There is anger at the loss of $700 billion from Medicare funds now earmarked to help implement the socialist Obamacare, substituting one socialist program for a disastrous one.

There is fear stemming from the loss of jobs and involuntary reduced work hours. Almost 14 percent of the labor force is unemployed – the Bureau of Labor Statistics massages the data monthly to keep it at the media reported 8.3 percent level, but everyone knows the real numbers.

College graduates cannot find jobs much less the six-figure salary employment that academic advisors promised. Instead, they are moving back with mom and dad, gladly crashing in the basement for free.

There is a real fear of punishing success and rewarding sloth under the guise of social justice, fitting in the grand scheme of the world elites of redistribution of wealth from the haves to the have-nots, those who like to stay home and draw welfare checks and benefits in exchange for a vote for those who promise more welfare.

There is fear of confiscation of property under eminent domain, by EPA fiat regulations, and re-zoning rules of the UN Agenda 21’s smart growth, green growth, sustainable growth plans designed to save mother Earth, Gaia, from human activity. Farming, the family, private property, recreation, mobility, the car, suburbia, traditional education are not sustainable under the global elite’s master plan. Everything must follow an environmental design carefully laid out in the 40 chapter document titled Agenda 21 of the Rio 1992 Treaty.

There is fear of government, of police, of loss of freedom, of drones, of FEMA camps, TSA molestation at airports in the name of supposed safety, and unwarranted immigration checks. TSA agents are now at metro stations, train stations, interstates, stadiums, political events, bus terminals, and truck stops. States are being sued by our government because they are trying to enforce the law that the federal government refuses or fails to enforce.

Many government agencies are ordering hollow point bullets by the millions and Americans are anxious. Should they not protect our borders first?

When more soldiers commit suicide than those killed in combat in Afghanistan, there is a problem. Some of them have never been in a war zone. What is so frightening to them?

There is anxiety over the ever-rising government corruption, lack of any indictment for highly publicized crimes swept under the rug, and for the billions of dollars stolen from the American taxpayers. The law now sends only little people to jail, just like under communism.

There is fear of losing free speech and anxiety over the concentrated racial hate stoked from many directions and the never-before seen utter divisiveness among Americans. There is fear of loss of freedom. Many books have been written about the perceived tyranny by the few.

There is anxiety over possible shortages and rationing of food, fuel, electricity, given this summer’s wide spread drought. We are the world’s biggest exporter of corn and many nations depend on us for their food supply. Yet we are still turning corn into ethanol.

We are fearful of the jihadis infiltrating our country and our levels of government since 9/11. Americans are afraid of jihadi schools that preach hate against the infidels instead of peace and love. We are afraid for our faith and cry for the loss of Christians slaughtered or crucified in Egypt. We are outraged at the senseless killing of Sikhs, a peaceful religion. Yet the only way citizens show displeasure is by showing up en mass to support a restaurant chain under assault for its Christian values.

Americans are anxious over possible bank runs, loss of pensions, of their life’s savings, their homes, the weakening of the dollar, the endless printing of currency by the Fed (monetization), borrowing from China, outsourcing the manufacturing sector, and the general never-audited secretive policy of the Federal Reserve to manipulate the money stock and interest rates.

There is fear and anxiety in the hearts of those who make this country great through hard work. They are more and more resentful of the welfare class that votes to fundamentally change this country without questioning what kind of change that would be, and what would happen when they run out of other people’s money? Would the benevolent government still support them? Americans are resentful of those in power who no longer represent “we the people” but the interests of the rarefied elites and the banking powers of the world.

While We Were Sleeping

While the entire country was riveted to the news that Obamacare, the most expensive and freedom robbing tax bill in U.S. history, was upheld by the Supreme Court, the President was busy driving in the last nail in the coffin of liberty.

It is not the first time the media helped in the deception of Americans and in hiding the truth.

We were so preoccupied with the looming health care insurance premium that is really a tax for the privilege of living in the U.S., the upcoming health exchanges, Obama’s domestic army of IRS health insurance enforcement agents, more unemployment growing on the horizon, and a dim economic future, that we overlooked the national emergency declared by President Obama.

President Obama sent a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the President of the Senate on June 25, 2012, announcing his declaration of national emergency.

According to Kenneth Schortgren, “the United States is seizing assets and property owned or managed by the Russian Federation relating to nuclear items and programs tied to Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU).” (examiner.com, June 26, 2012)

“I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, in view of the policies underlying Executive Order 12938 of November 14, 1994, and Executive Order 13085 of May 26, 1998, and the restrictions put in place pursuant to Executive Order 13159 of June 21, 2000, find that the risk of nuclear proliferation created by the accumulation of a large volume of weapons-usable fissile material in the territory of the Russian Federation continues to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.”

The ramifications of this national emergency are quite complex, given the fragile state of the global economy, the unstable Middle East, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the weak dollar, our huge national debt as the number one threat to national security, the 257 Foreign Trade Zones in the U.S., the insolvency of the euro crisis born by the socialist welfare states in the euro zone, huge unemployment across Europe, bank bailouts and insolvencies, military posturing by Iran, China, Russia, and Korea, the touted Arab Spring/Winter, and the subsequent takeover of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt’s recent election. We can speculate but we will certainly be accused of wearing a tinfoil hat since only progressives and Democrats are opinion makers and the arbiters of truth. Any possible theory advanced by other Americans would be met with incredulity and derision. At a minimum, it would be seen as hate speech or racism.

We were also oblivious to today’s strike down of the Stolen Valor Act. Using indefensible judgment, the Supremes said that it is now acceptable to lie about military service. Apparently, the First Amendment protects the Americans’ right to lie, even if that lie involves a person’s military service, medals, and awards received. (Lee Ferran, abcNews, June 28, 2012)

The decision vindicated Xavier Alvarez who was convicted under the Stolen Valor Act of 2006. The bill made it illegal to claim ownership of or to wear military medals and ribbons, which were not earned. Alvarez never received the medals claimed nor served in the military. He was sentenced to three years probation, a $5,000 fine, and community service. His lawyers convinced the Supreme Court that the Stolen Valor Act was unconstitutional and it violated his right to lie.

SCOTUS, through Justice Kennedy, defended its 6-3 decision in Alvarez’s favor that the Stolen Valor Act is “too broad and ignores whether the liar is trying to gain anything through his or her false statement.” A lie by any other name is still a lie. People lie to gain influence, access, money, and positions of power.

While cowardly Americans exercise their SCOTUS-decreed right to lie about military accomplishments, the true heroes who receive medals and ribbons do so by sacrificing their lives, limbs, blood, treasure, and precious time with their families.

Driven into oblivion, the state of Realityville is becoming stranger by the day – the loons and the corrupt are running the asylum.
