###  Germany in 1930's.

Hitlers speech in Munich 1930.
The fire at the Reichstag, 1933.
The New chancellor, Adolf Hitler. The Third Reich, 1933. 
The first concentration camp, Dachau. 1933.
The campaign of book burning's, 1933.
The boycott of Jewish owned business, 1934.
The night of the long knives 1934.

It scares me how little people know of history.

All the information we need to see of the  unfolding events of the future, lie  not in front of us, or  _with us_ , in the here and now.
The clues, sign posts, and 6 feet high flashing neon signs, all lie  in the past.
And are there for us to take advantage of, to utilize,  to help to avoid the mistakes made previously.

Yet, here we are, in 2019, and seemingly still blind to events of history, and how they unfolded.
_We refuse to read the signposts_!

I'm not going into much detail here,  on the rise of the NAZI'S. It's well documented, and reading it yourself would give you a far better insight, a far more comprehensive view,  than any  postings I could do.

But I will give you some points that are disturbing echos from the past, possibly giving an indication of the future, if left unchallenged....

As Hitler gained power, to did _the fear_ of opposing him. 

Political dissidents were sent  to the newly built  Dachau concentration camp, and knowledge was being suppressed (propaganda) and even eradicated (book burnings). Legitimate businesses was not only boycotted, but attacked by the brainwashed sheep, and if not _directly_ from Hitlers order, most definitely fueled on by his ideology and political outlook.

_(side note: Interestingly, many of the actions carried out in Hitlers name, were never 'officially' sanctioned by him. From 'the final solution' at the Wannsee conference - the planned systematic destruction of the Jews - to the various acts on his rise to power - he was never ***actually*** witness to many of them, or condoned it. He was a politician. He directed, and the unthinking sheep, did his bidding)._

####  Ah, but what the hell as this got to do with Steem?

We have a rally of the Steem faithfuls in a day or two, in Bangkok.
Any speeches?


.... I was doing some research into something very specific, and in my investigations, came across an interesting, and for me, disturbing little gem.
This speech below.

But before you get the speech itself read on.

#### In the 1930's in Germany, people became afraid. _Very afraid_.


And we all know how that turned out.

When freedom of speech is overshadowed by the threats of physical retribution, there _is_ no freedom of speech.

> When  'the neanderthal' (I use this term as a metaphor for the lesser developed human being) resorts to threats of violence, as a way to suppress others' freedom of speech', and nothing is done to counter it, we all know how that _always_  turns out. 
Sooner or later.
The neanderthal  does,  what the neanderthal is,  and he does the bidding of his much cleverer masters. 
The sheep do not realize they are sheep, of course,  for they are unthinking automatons who just  _think_ that they are thinking.

At this point on the historical timeline - the one where we are right now-  will be, I think,  one of those times in history,  that will be  looked back  as a time of  _The insane  running the asylum_....

####  Do we not look back at 1930's Germany and ask ourselves the question:  _'how did they let it happen?'_.

20/20 vision and hindsight is not a tool to be ignored, if we are to shape the future.

Are _we_ 'letting it happen'? Right now, by our actions (or inaction)?

Are _you_ the club wielding Neanderthal trying to suppress the freedoms of others because you _don't like_ what others have to say?
Are the acts of violence, or the threats of violence, your weapon of choice, rather than open debate?
_What does that say about you?_
....that you have nothing of value to say?

####   Are you a part  the Waffen SS, and you _don't even realize it_.?

Do you _know_ that  you are thinking, or do you only  _think_  that you're thinking?
And do you know the difference?

######  (I've never said 'be afraid, be very afraid', and actually _meant it_  before now).
Well today, I _am_ saying it  - and meaning it _in exactly that way_. 


THIS SPEECH HAPPENED. IT IS REAL.



.....if you aren't a little bit  freaked out by the parallels exhibited in these  thought processes (parallels or  template? it could seen as either),  you're either  _not thinking_, , or on the steem gravy  train in some fashion or other and in denial.
(Some  people, I'm sure - would prefer to be on _any_ gravy train without a soul,  rather than on _no gravy train_, and spiritually intact).
_Are you aware of how many Nazi's, from lowly solder to high ranking officers,  didn't believe remotely  in 'The Third Reich'?_ 
hint: it was a lot.
They stayed 'loyal' to the cause,  because of the life that was offered to them. A little pit of  power bought their souls.
_How cheaply would you sell your soul_ ? 
Do you place _any_ value on it at all?

Yes,  Steemians  read this 'inspiring speech', and see just how much you can identify with it.

This  wasn't written by ned or andrarchy, or elipowell, or any of the stinc crew - or any of the  sycophants who follow their leaders blindly.
A Steem cheer leader did not go anywhere near this little  doozy.

It was written by no other than your favorite fascist...

###  Adolf Hitler !!!!

Yep, you read that correctly.

Read it and weep, becuase from how I see it -  you're cheering on - _exactly_ - the same seeds from the same ideology.
Don't believe me?
Keep reading, (you might need your hanky, though.)


Do you ever get a niggling feeling,  that you've been cheated?  or your cheating yourself somehow? or even deluding yourself? 
( I had _no choice_, I was  following orders).

You know how I mean....

###  _in the same way that you see the people of Germany,  being duped, in denial, or delusional,  before WW2?_ 

Know thyself.
Who's side are you on? 
Do you even know there is a side?
Do you even give a fuck?

Are you thinking, or do you just think that you're thinking?



####  _This speech is an historical fact...._ 
(link below ).




I've  changed four words more than once , but no more than a few times, and one word once.
That's it

1/ The opening sentence opposition' to 'Steeminc', - Only One time.

2/ 'The state', replaced by 'Steem', 

3/ 'Constitution' replaced by 'Code', 

4/  'parliament.' replaced by  'DPOS'

5/   nation replaced by 'ecosystem'


### THERE ARE _NO_ OTHER CHANGES.

As an intellectual exercise, I quickly looked glanced  other speeches (not Hitler ones), over history...

_I could find none that 'fit the bill'_ quite  like the one above, but very interestingly, I -DID_ find many speeches that had echos.....from Lincoln, to Martin Luther Kings 'I have a dream'. (changing 'negro' to 'wage slave' etc..) of th esame narrative.

My point being, maybe _all these_ are the same  narrative edited to suit the time and space.
which make it worrying.
Is the Steem ecosytem anything radically different that whats been  said, or proposed,  before?
_Is steem the establishment?_

###   The opening speech, from Hitler in 1930, in Munich..... _WORD FOR WORD...._

check later if you don't believe me, but right now, just read it....
http://hitler.org/speeches/09-16-30.html

###   The road to hell is paved with good intentions, Steemians.
Hankies at the ready!
Lets begin...





(Hitler talking) _.....And the question at this time is: what are the aims of steeminc and its leaders?
It is a fight for an idea - a Weltanschhauung: and in the forefront stands a fundamental principle: Men do not exist for Steem, Steem exists for men. 
First and far above all else stands the idea of the people: Steem is a form of organization of this people, and the meaning and the purpose of Steem are through this form of organization to assure the life of the people. And from this there arises a new mode of thought and thus necessarily a new political method._

_We say: a new mode of thought. Today our whole official political outlook is rooted in the view that Steem must be maintained because Steem in itself is the essential thing; we, on the other hand, maintain that Steem in its form has a definite purpose to fulfill and the moment that it fails to fulfill its purpose the form stands condemned. Above everything stands the purpose to maintain the ecosystem's life - that is the essential thing and one should not speak of a law for the protection of Steem but for the protection of the ecosystem: it is of this protection that one must think.... In the place of this rigid formal organization - Steem - must be set the living organism - the people. Then all action is given a new untrammelled freedom: all the formal fetters which can today be imposed on men become immoral directly if they fail to maintain the people, because that is the highest purpose in life and the aim of all reasonable thought and action._

_If today our action employs among its different weapons that of DPOS, that is not to say that DPOS exist only for DPOS ends. For us DPOS is not an end in itself, but merely a means to an end . . . we are not on principle a DPOS party - that would be a contradiction of our whole outlook - WE ARE A DPOS PARTY BY COMPULSION, UNDER CONSTRAINT, AND THAT COMPULSION IS THE CONSTITUTION(code).
 The Code compels us to use this means. It does not compel us to wish for a particular goal, it only prescribes a way - a method, and, I repeat, we follow this way legally, in accordance with the Code: by the way laid down through the Code we advance towards the purposes which we have set before us.
Never can Code determine for all time the content of a purpose, especially when this content is not identical with the vital rights of a people. If today the Code admits for its protection laws which are headed, 'Laws for the Protection of the Republic,' then it is demonstrated that the most which our present Code can prescribe is nothing but the protection and the maintenance of a form, and that does not touch the maintenance of the ecosystem, of a people. This purpose is therefore free: this is the goal which we proclaim and to which we shall attain. . ._





###  What do you ya recon to that THEN, fellow Steemians? 

####   Do I now change the 'steemians' to  _the supporters of nationalist socialist workers party?_    lol)


(facists/commies/authoritarians, are all the same pond scum, its only the labels that are different).

![IMAG0066.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ2ij7S6Uz2UqC3pMja5FXQAPEySXpRfEQCzbc52SxxQE/IMAG0066.JPG)

Remember how it went down in Germany, after 1930?. 
Dachau opened  soon after this speech was made....


All the _very best of luck_ to those can who think for themselves, and continue to stay here. (who are not on the gravy train).

Have a great Sunday, everyone!
