Bush-Hitler Parallels

A long piece even in this condensed form, but it's still an excellent read; no supposition or speculation just nice clean FACTS! Much more than can be said for the crap that seems to come out of Westminster and Washington with the unwavering regularity of a Rhino relieving itself!

This isn't democracy; IT'S SCARY!


1) The republican party and Bush almost mirror the propaganda methods used by Hitler in old nazi Germany. The republicans are calling this fight against terrorism a war, this is propaganda. It is not a war, congress has to declare war and they have not done that. It is propaganda to call a fight against terrorism a war.
PROOF

2) Hitler was born in Austria, he called it "the homeland" and Bush calls America "the homeland," Bush uses the term "homeland" quite a bit and named the new security agency "The Department of Homeland Security." Frankly it makes me cringe when I hear homeland instead of American or country. I would prefer "The Department of American Security" and Bush could say "the country" instead of the homeland. My 78 year old father fought Hitler and the Nazis, he even stole a Nazi flag from Hitler's house. He hates the term "Homeland" when referring to anything American.
PROOF

3) Hitler created a police force to control the people, it was called the "Gestapo." Bush wants to implement the TIPS program that would be similar to the "Gestapo." He wants a million Americans to sign up to spy on other Americans. We can't process the intelligence we get now let alone process the reports from a million American spies who have no training in spying on people.
PROOF

4) Hitler used the military against the citizens and Bush wants to do it to. The Bush administration has directed lawyers in the Departments of Justice and Defense to review the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 and any other laws that sharply restrict the military's ability to participate in domestic law enforcement. Military leaders oppose Bush and support the restrictions because their troops were not specifically trained in those roles, and they worried that domestic tasks could lead to serious political problems. This is really scary, the military is trained to kill people not be policemen.
PROOF

5) Bush said he would like to be a dictator because it would sure make things easier. Hitler said about the same thing, then he became a dictator. Since the sole difference between a dictatorship and a democracy is that the leaders are popularly elected by the masses of people rather than by seizing office by force, being appointed by an elite or by assuming power via a fixed election there can be no other way to describe the Bush administration than as a dictatorship.
PROOF

6) Bush and Asskkkroft have suspended the Constitution here in America. Hitler did the same thing in 1933 when he brought the nazi party to power. We have an American citizen in jail right now who has been refused his due process and not allowed to see an attorney. He is called an Enemy Combatant to get around the Constitution even though we are not at war. In 1932 Hitler was unsuccessful in the presidential elections against Hindenburg, but Hitler still became chancellor in 1933. He then suspended their constitution and brought his Nazi Party to power. Hitler was Germany's dictator for 6 years (1939-1945).
PROOF

7) Bush's family has ties to Nazi Germany. It all started with Prescott Bush, George W. Bush's grandfather. In 1918 it is said that he robbed the grave and stole the skull of the Native American warrior Geronimo as part of an initiation into Yale's Skull and Bones Society. The Skull and Bones Society has been important to the Bush Family. George Bush Sr. and George W. Bush were also members of this secret society. Prescott Bush got into a little bit of trouble back in the 1940s. While American soldiers were fighting the Nazis in WWII, three of Prescott Bush's companies were seized under the Trading With The Enemy Act because they were selling fuel to and laundering money for the Nazis.
PROOF

8) What conservatives [EVERYONE! - ewar] don't yet fully realize is that the Bush family - including GW - are neither genuine Republicans nor are they genuine conservatives. What they are is genuine corporate-fascists. The minimally qualified GW Bush is a man whose entire career is based solely on his father being George Bush and all the helping hands that connection brought into play. The four US Supreme Court justices who gave Bush the presidency were either appointed by his father, had sons working for law firms representing GW in the contested election lawsuits or had publicly stated that they had a strong personal commitment to making sure Gore never became President. Justice Scalia said he'd resign if Gore became President. Justice O'Conner said she could not retire if Gore became President because a liberal Justice would replace her. Both Justices Rhenquist and Scalia have sons working for Bush law firms involved in the election. Justice Thomas' wife works for both the far right Heritage Foundation and the Bush transition team. These Justice's flawed and highly partisan ruling trashed the entire idea of States rights - the very same conservative ideology they have so vigorously defended-not to mention the rule of law, equal protection and the idea of judicial impartiality and restraint.
PROOF

All hail our new American Furhrer, GW Bush and the real President of the United States, Mr. Dick Cheney. They are the best fascists money can buy.
