"Ernst Fraenkel said the Nazis instrument was not the concentration camp but the law — not the prerogative but the normative state, an apparatus dating back centuries. From 1933 additional laws butressed this new normal. The Reichstag fire decree allowed the surveillance of letters and phone calls, and to detain people indefinately in “protective custody.” It nullified the Weimar Constitution’s freedoms of assembly, association, of speech and of the press.

People faced losing their jobs if they didn’t join the Nazi party under the Civil Service Law of Apr 1933, which included all teachers, university staff, police, prosecutors, social administrators and functionaries.

However, even before the Law more than 30 per cent of teachers and 50 per cent of doctors had proactively joined the Nazi Party. Compare to today.

Parents would be told to enrol children in state education as opposed to denominational schools under penalty of losing child support and welfare benefits. Monks and priests who ran faith-based schools were demonised in the press as pederasts. Catholics represented 40 per cent of the population — hardly a minority — yet they were subject to persisitent harrassment.

The Enabling Laws allowed the Chancellor to pass any law contrary to the constitution without legislative approval.

It became illegal to call for the return of democracy, print leaflets demanding a change to the constitution or the removal of Hitler, or to associate with anyone so advocating.

The Hate Law of Dec 1934 made it illegal to spread rumours about the regime, to make derogatory remarks about the Party and its leaders, or the state. Another law made it a crime to engage in “malicious gossip” or spread rumours about about the government.

Similar hate laws are being rammed through our legislatures today."

Yes, I'm somewhat familiar with this...

We Americans have a Constitution that is not susceptible to fuckery. Psychopaths, charlatans, traitors, lawyers, it doesn't matter what they do, what they say. Our rights are INALIENABLE, and any law that tries to circumvent the Constitution is ILLEGAL on its face and cannot be executed nor enforced. Period.

What has happened in this country IS ILLEGAL and will be prosecuted as such.
