Title- thus is 1938

[Strange_Ice]

Found this somewhere else but had to share it unfortunately before I could get the rest of the article it disappeared (including the original writer and end notes) but I did get the majority and the main point behind it. Never would have thought of it but things DO sound a lot like the beginning of when the Jewish people started being rounded up and persecuted for who they are and what they believe and the start of the NAZI's power grab.....

 

This is the most important commentary I've ever written.

 

It's time for alarm bells. It's time for me to play the part of Paul Revere: "The communist tyrants and dictators are coming! The communist tyrants and dictators are coming!" They're coming first for unvaccinated Americans.

This is 1938. I'm a Jew. I now understand just a little of what it felt like to be a Jew in 1938. No, it's not the Holocaust. Nothing can be compared to the Holocaust. Ever.

But 1938 was not the Holocaust. It was the pre-Holocaust. It was the time before the nightmare, when the foundation was being laid to destroy the freedom, free speech, businesses and lives of millions of Jews.

Everything happening today to the American people ... to the U.S. Constitution ... to freedom ... and particularly to unvaccinated Americans reminds me of 1938. This is only the beginning. It gets much worse from here.

First, "the papers." Vaccine mandates and vaccine passports are just like 1938, when the Gestapo demanded papers from every German.

Republicans asked for "papers" from migrants who had broken into our country. Criminals. Democrats said, "No, that's racism." Republicans asked for "papers" once every two years for federal elections, to prove you have a right to vote. Democrats said, "No, that's racism."

Now Democrats want American citizens, not illegal aliens, not criminals, but patriots born in this country, to produce papers 24/7. We'll need papers to enter restaurants, bars, nightclubs, concerts, casinos, conventions and hotels and to board a train, plane or bus. We'll need papers to enter a supermarket, or we'll starve to death. All for the crime of being unvaccinated against ... wait for it ... The flu.

All for the crime of being unwilling to inject an untested, rushed to production, experimental, "for emergency use only" shot into our bodies.

What happened to the war cry of Democrats: "My body, my choice"? It only applies to murdering babies, but it doesn't apply to dangerous experimental shots that we don't want injected into our bodies.

Weren't Jews injected with experimental drugs by the depraved Nazi government? Wasn't that a key part of the Nuremberg trials? That no government could ever again inject experimental shots into the bodies of unwilling citizens? Isn't that a basic human right?

By the way, this isn't about vaccines. If you want the vaccine, take it. I'd never stop you. I'd never limit your freedom, your choice. This is about vaccine mandates -- forcibly injecting Americans who don't want it. That's 1938.

But there's much more in common with 1938. Mask mandates. If you're scared, wear them. I'm not scared. I don't want to wear them. Mandates are about forcing individuals to lose their freedom, choice, individuality and human rights. That's 1938.

Lockdowns are a match with the Warsaw Ghetto. Jews were locked down. Jews couldn't work. Jews couldn't travel. Jewish businesses were labeled "nonessential."

If government can force us to close our businesses, to kill our jobs, to decide who is nonessential, then this is 1938.

Stars on clothing. It's coming. The vaccinated get into restaurants, bars, concerts, supermarkets, planes and trains. They keep their jobs. The rest of us are marked as "subhuman" for life. That's the star. That's 1938.

Media and social media as the public-relations wing of the government. That's called propaganda. Remind you of 1938? Back then, the Jews' books were burned. Today, it's those of conservatives, patriots and specifically the unvaccinated. We are silenced. Our facts are labeled "misleading." Only the facts that agree with big government's agenda count. That's 1938.

[Strange_Ice]

The original article went on about going door to door to check your status and taking away guns. And pointing out first it's the propaganda of unvaccinated, then comes the forcing people to submit to the governments will under the guise of "public safety", then they come for your weapons and other freedoms, until they get to a point wear if your not going to submit you will be forced and segregated and things start to look exactly the same as almost 100 years ago when the nazis tried to eradicate all who were not the same as them. That we are heading down a slippery and dangerous slope if things are allowed to continue down its current path....

Covid is no joke and is real. Getting vaccinated is the responsible thing to do.

This really should be no surprise, OP. America stopped being a free country once they started requiring Driver Passports (aka licenses) just to drive on the God-given roads. Talk about taking away our freedoms!

It took me all of about 5 seconds to find the author of this screed. He simultaneously works for Breitbart and Newsmax and has a radio show. So much for being silenced…

I suspect however, that you could have cited the original source if it didn’t show this for what it is: 20 lbs of bullshit in a 10 lb sack.

I am not sure which is more appalling and disgusting - the original bullshit on a stick screed or that ANYONE buys into it.  Explains a lot sometimes to see what people will fall for.  And Breitbart and Newsmax are not even the worst bullshit purveyors out there!!!!!

And the scary part is that I want to believe this is tongue in cheek sarcasm which would make it pretty hilarious or then again these days is it actual belief which would make it truly pathetic.  God-given roads??  hahahahahaha   Where is that damn sarcasm font??  I am voting hilarious.

I see where the “black shirts” instigated another rumble with the Proud Boys this weekend at a religious rally in Portland. Meanwhile the police chirp their sirens.

Well, since you brought it up.  The initial "instigation" was the far right wing street preacher Artur Pawlowski was holding a public speaking event.  He is known for being: anti LBGTQ , anti-vaxer, anti-mask, white nationalist, and blah, blah.  The Proud Boys showed up (or didn't, officially they say those were imposters.  Wow now antifa fights against antifa secret agents, eh?  Stay with me , can't make this shit up.) to "protect" the "reverend."  The leftists being vigorously opposed to both and given to tit for tat incitation and mischief and not reluctant to mix it up with with far righties showed up to counter protest.  That's when a paint ball gun shoot out occurred!!  This "violent event" you and others wish to compare to storming the capital to kill Congressmen and overturn an election (I know, you did not SAY that. wink) resulted in, I repeat, a f*%king paint ball gun exchange!!  The horror, the horror.  Reported that numerous downtown diners, etc. "strolled by".  Now what was the point again?  Oh and random thought - "Proud Boys" sounds like a gay fraternity, so what's up with that?

[Come Honor Face]

As someone who had a grandmother who was a Holocaust survivor, this topic is disgusting and the writer and anybody peddling this ignorant nonsense should be ashamed of themselves.

If believing in science and wanting the world to be rid of deadly diseases makes you a "Nazi" these days, then I guess you can start calling me the Jewish Hitler.

You forgot the part about taking the preacher’s sound equipment and throwing it in the river. And taking the rally’s food, giving it to the homeless.  If you don’t like what someone has to say, don’t listen.  Or better yet offer counter arguments. You do not have license to disrupt their event and destroy property.  But such disruptions seem to be SOP for Antifa.

I do NOT compare this weekend’s activities to Jan 6, but I do place last summer’s hurling of Molotov’s at federal buildings in that vein.

I left out the "thrown in river" part because that statement does not appear in any of the several news articles I checked.  Articles I saw simply noted they "attempted to grab the reverend's speakers."  Regardless they should not have - even a total whack job like the "reverend" has a right to speak.  I also left out that the good reverend tells his followers there is no climate change the fires are God's wrath for allowing homosexuality, and the police or government officials that enforce covid restrictions are nazis.  And I left out that the far right sites many here obviously follow characterized that garbage (btw he has criminal charges in Canada from whence he fled) as a "family religious service".  Yeah, in the same way Hillsburrow (sp?) Church spews it's ludicrous bs at "family religious services".  I did not mention a whole lot, but it only gets worse the harder you look.  I also failed to mention btw that band of dangerous "Antifa" were led by a 70 year old vet in a wheel chair and he was shot in the face with paintball gun by a "Proud Boy" - they should be so proud.  It is a useful example of how the right wing sites spin shit harder than a nuclear centrifuge in order to mislead.  And I left out the videos showing said Proud Boys calling police "mother fuckers" and "nazis" (oh the irony!!) and a couple threatening police. Bottom line total lunatic whackos from the left disrupted total lunatic whackos from the right trying to defend a lunatic preacher whose message is way out lunatic and both acted like a bunch of adolescents while the police watched and laughed their asses off at the spectacle.  But again - your point was?

[Phil-anderer]

For the love of Christ... this is NOT anything like the holocaust, and I wish people would stop comparing ANYTHING to it.

This is a world-wide public health crisis, caused by a virus.  600k+ dead in the US.  Get vaccinated and wear a fucking mask.  You can still carry your guns, howl at the moon, drive on our roads, foment your hate and fear.

I find it hilarious that some people don't know how to READ. I'm pretty sure (and I made it BOLD for those that cant read) the writer says "I'M A JEW" as well as pointing out "No, its NOT the haulocost. NOTHING can compare to that" and that the Holocaust was NOT in 1938 (it started 2 years later in 1940 by the way for those that are offended but don't know when the event they are offended by happened)... he is talking about the events that slowly started taking place BEFORE it. And that IS exactly what's happing right now. 

Then you get to the other section where he points out that it's wrong and the whole Nuremberg trials happened specifically for what is currently happening now. Yes the vaccines ARE still experimental and the government is NOT supposed to FORCE unwilling citizens to take them...

So NO. NO I will NOT take a f'n  vaccine that is NOT fully approved because it was rushed and not fully tested. I do not feel safe in that situation and will wait at least a few years before I do feel comfortable getting it after I'm sure all the lab rats that did take it are still in good health, and after there is an actual solid foot hold on the situations.  NO still means NO.

The article you thought was so brilliant has a few dozen misrepresentations, red herrings, and bald face lies.  I am not going take the time to dispel most of them because you will not believe a thing I say and it gets time consuming!   A few have to be challenged. The far right wing media have your mind and now seek your soul.  Sorry, I would not bet for you on this one.  Any mention and IMPLIED comparison to the holocaust especially in support of a political position is vile.  Period. No matter the disclaimers of the start of the article.  If you do not understand that, it is your comprehension skills you should be questioning.

The ability of the government to REQUIRE vaccinations as a necessary thing to protect the public health was decided by the supreme court in 1905 in Jacobson vs. Massachusetts.  The majority opinion and therefore finding of the court states it better than I could hope to. It reads:

Justice John Marshall Harlan delivered the decision for a 7–2 majority that the Massachusetts law did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment.^[2] The Court held that "in every well ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand" and that "[r]eal liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own [liberty], whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others

As a result small pox was slowed and then eradicated.  And the Marxists, communists, Nazis, and socialists DID NOT take over.  Freedom was not ended or impinged.

For years the right bemoans "unnecessary red tape" when complaining about the FDA's lengthy process.  His Orangeness in announcing project Warp Speed stated exactly that - we were going to cut through the red tape and get a vaccine fast.  Of course he was wanting credit for a vaccine against a virus he insisted did not exist - "hoax", "fake news".  Now suddenly "the FDA hasn't approved it yet" is the whiny excuse for not getting vaccinated.  With almost 200 million shots in this country alone and the months of study before hand, and the ten years of developing the mrna approach the vaccines are not unknown, risky, or threats that need more proof to know that any potential risk is minor compared to 600 thousand deaths with more deadly variants coming.

In 1918 the government REQUIRED masks to be worn and ENFORCED the requirement as part of the struggle against the Spanish Flu.  Even with the rudimentary understanding of bacteria and no knowledge of what viruses are, folks were smart enough to know that masks slowed the spread and gave everyone better odds.  Eventually the particular strain of flu pretty much vanished.  Required masks were, but once again the Marxists, communists, Nazis, and socialists DID NOT take over.  Freedom was not ended or impinged.  Oh, and btw covid is NOT THE FUCKING FLU but the editorial flatly states that it is.  'Nuff said.

Is it your choice to get vaccinated or not? In the case of a pandemic with grave risk to the public health, settled law says no., and that the government can require it.  But thus far not required by any government at any level except to be employed by them.  BTW government agents possibly going door to door to OFFER, not require, a free vaccine that could save the life of the resident(s) being compared to government agents arresting citizens simply for their race for the purpose of murdering them.is the single most stupid fucking comparison I have ever heard, and there's lots to choose from any more.  And yet the brain washed believe - any thing but the truth, they believe.  Do I think it should be your choice?  Sure.  As long as you are quarantined till this shit is over.  Enough of you do not get vaccinated it may never be over.  But it is all about you.

Soooo much more that could be said about that monumentally false, misleading, steaming pile of bull shit editorial piece.  But those are the important ones.

My personal opinion is that it would be wise for everyone to get vaccinated. Hopefully it would slow down the spread and maybe prevent this horrible virus from mutating. But I also believe that it is a personal decision that everyone has the right to make. If you choose to be vaccinated you shouldn't have to be worried about somebody that isn't. My biggest concern is with the midterms coming around the corner  that mask mandates and lockdowns would give the libs justification to push for mail in balloting again. Wouldn't that be convenient. De Jau Vue!
