The Patriot Act was 300 pages long & weighed as much or more than a baby. It was printed at 3AM & it was required that representatives vote for it that same day at 11AM. Why ?? If someone REALLY cares about "patriotism" wouldn't they want everyone to take the proper time to REALLY absorb this document. Look up Naomi Wolf the author of the book that this documentary is based on. Great Lady. Oh & ALL TEN steps the Nazis implemented in Germany to change course are in full swing here & if you think that's some great big coincidence you truly are a waste of a thinking human being.
Random fact of the day: one of the all-time FAVORITE Nazi words = HOMELAND
people have great misconceptions about Nazi Germany. In the early '30s you still would have found Gay & Women's Rights organizations. torture was illegal. there were MANY newspapers & media outlets. they had more than their fair share of celebrities. it was a thriving very modern society even more so than America. It was not some deserted wasteland that needed saving. Hitler was not the all-encompassing figure of EVIL a movie wants to sell you. By most accounts he was highly intelligent & charming & if everyone did not trust in that he never would have been able to get away with the things he did. The Devil is most devilish when respectable.
i think the other thing that needs to be added to this is that the common sleepwalker of today has this line of thinking that goes something like this ===> if we don't end up with a guy who reminds us of Hitler & some poor group of people are being led to slaughter in gas chambers then we could not POSSIBLY be "like" Nazi Germany. Those vapid vessels seem to forget that people who want to make these modern changes happen were taking notes & they must have made one particular one that read kinda like:
DON'T LOOK LIKE MURDERING BAD GUYS (NOT GOOD)
keep in mind (just) one of the answers to number 3: BLACKWATER. that company is making a FORTUNE from our government & has been for years. don't be surprised if you start hearing that name along with abuse of Occupy protesters. they are (amongst so many other things) a highly trained organization of hitmen i.e. murderers assembled from around the world.
here's Naomi talking about her book. this is not the documentary.
