Emergency preparedness

1. National Socialism is pretty much what we have now, and it is definitely what we are moving towards. Nazism had nothing to do with killing Jews (that was Hitler's own personal brand of crazy), but it had everything to do with nationalized infrastructure, welfare, and automobiles (Volkwagen...the people's car).
2. My last name is Wilhelm...good German name.

A lot of people don't understand that the academic definition of fascisim is simply an economic system in which land, labor, and capital is owned by the citizenry, but controlled and directed by the government. This is slightly different from socialism and communism but still very similar to what we have in this country and we're moving closer and closer to it each day.

"Fascist ethics begin ... with the acknowledgment that it is not the individual who confers a meaning upon society, but it is, instead, the existence of a human society which determines the human character of the individual. According to Fascism, a true, a great spiritual life cannot take place unless the State has risen to a position of pre-eminence in the world of man. The curtailment of liberty thus becomes justified at once, and this need of rising the State to its rightful position."

[Mario Palmieri, "The Philosophy of Fascism" 1936]

But our government keeps calling itself a democracy...they MUST have said it enough times now to make it the truth, right? It's funny because we never were even founded as a democracy...it was a Republic from day one. It's right there in the Pledge of Allegiance.
