Rare stash of Nazi propaganda films

"If you look carefully, you can see they mirror what's happening
right now in America."

http://westword.com/issues/2002-12-19/news2.html/1/index.html


Nurkiewicz believes that President Bush is capitalizing upon the American public's emotional response to the September 11 terrorist attacks in much the same way Hitler capitalized upon the German public's outrage over the Treaty of Versailles. "Bush is incrementally positioning himself as a dictator, and he's using modern propaganda to further his agenda," Nurkiewicz says.

"That's why I want to make sure these films enter the public domain, because if you look carefully at how they use images and language, you can see they mirror what's happening right now in America. The Department of Homeland Security -- that sounds exactly like the language of the Ministry of Propaganda. People need to examine these films and realize this has happened before."

1. I just returned from Africa and saw dictatorships up close and in person.
Hate to burst your bubble, but we're not even close (yet).

2. Further confirmation from ex-US Army War College dept. head.
See this article "Brainwashing America" by Dr. Norman Livergood former head of the Artificial Intelligence Dept. at the US Army War College from 1993 - 1995.


The puppet Bush regime is using new, aggressive forms of brainwashing to change the very way Americans think and feel.

This is the psychological dimension of the "High Cabal's" general onslaught against American workers, just as the "war on terrorism" is the military dimension and corporate crime and tax cuts for the rich comprise the economic dimension.

We are living under the beginning stages of a military dictatorship in precisely the same way that 1930s Germans suffered under the Nazi regime.

As in the case of Nazi Germany, state-sponsored propaganda (brainwashing) is a vital part of the Bush regime's strategy

4. I am currently re-reading
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich which I hadn't read since high school 40 years ago. It puts todays current events in a chilling light, and while we are still a long ways from Germany in the 1930's we are allowing the government to move too far in the wrong direction. At least today it seems as if more people are aware of the dangers, and, hopefully, things will not again be allowed to get that far out of kilter.

5. You need to understand this Phenomenon
It doesn’t happen totally by volition; it not is like they make these choices and as they grow up from childhood saying “I am going to be a fascist dictator when I grow up”. It is process and it has many eternal and external elements. Any numbers of famous and infamous people have made that trip by such circumstances spun into that corner. Some chose and some were drawn.

When the person is separated from the myth, it is much easier to discern how consequences align them selves. There are so many good places to learn about different things, history, people and movements on the internet. I often find it difficult to ponder such and wonder how anybody can come with a exact conclusion about anything (but being on the same page is helpful).

Thanks for the post about the films, but realize that propaganda does not work too well without other things being in place. To think ancient people dreamed of movement being seen in pictures would be something that I also would like to contemplate, bringing to the point of what someone can imagine and could it ever be made to come true, that’s the scary part

Creative Visualization - Part One
From Imagination to Reality
Attracting Success with Mind Power
By Remez Sasson

Visualizing is seeing images in our mind. If we add concentration and feelings to visualization, it becomes a great creative power that makes things happen. Used in the right way, creative visualization can bring changes into our life. The thought is the matrix or blueprint; the feelings provide the energy, the "electricity".

Sounds weird? Not at all!

With creative visualization, we are able to alter our environment and circumstances, cause events to happen, attract money, possessions, work and love, change habits and improve the health. It is a great mind power. It is the power beyond every success.


Imagine you have a genie
at your disposal.


By visualizing an event, a situation, or an object, such as a car, a house, furniture etc, we attract it to us. We see in our imagination what we want and it happens. It is like daydreaming. It resembles magic, though actually there is no magic here. It is a natural process of thought.
(snip)


I sure most people are sick of this one but I will paste it up anyway, maybe someone has not seen it (yet)

It's time for another Bush/Nazis thread
Know the enemy, and never forget
