Today’s German Populist Party that attempts to democratically via Politics oppose Bureaucratic-imposed unassimilated and unassimilatable Islamist migrants on today’s Germany has been in several jurisdictions spied upon and even banned as a ‘Right Wing Extremist (Neo-Nazi) Party.’ Naturally the jurisdictional governments are very Left-Wing and sometimes even include ANTIFA Left-Wing Terrorists in their structure. This AfD party is headed by a lesbian – a true political oddity. Lesbians or gay men in politics are mostly but not exclusively Left-Wing politicians when they ‘play the homosexual card’ for political advantage. President Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury and CIA Director are homosexual – but they do not ‘play the homosexual card’ for political advantage. Just like other normal people everywhere – gay or straight – they keep their private sex lives out of politics where it does not belong. As best I know, so does the head of the German AfD party.
Back on February 6, on this website, in an essay titled “Lawyers, Political Activism and the Two-Tier IRS,” I included quite a lot of the history of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party. I have a little more history to add to the story.
Once Hitler gained control of the Nazi party, his second-in-command had been a WWI officer named Ernst Roehm. (I think he had been a major during the war.) When the financial collapse of Germany occurred starting in 1928-29, law and order also collapsed. For the next half-decade, millions of Communist paramilitary thugs fought in the streets against millions of Nazi paramilitary thugs. The Nazi thugs were organized into the SA Brown-Shirts who were commanded by Ernst Roehm. Their headquarters barracks was located outside Munich in an area that later on in the 1930s became the first Concentration Camp called ‘DACHAU.”
In 1932-33, as Hitler was taking over the government in stages, there occurred an historical event usually called ‘the Night of the Long Knives.’ (Yet again, I encourage everyone to read William L. Shirer’s “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” for a legitimately full account.)
The famous Leni Riefenstahl movie “The Triumph of the Will” depicts the last days of the 2+ million men SA Brown-Shirts before their dissolution.
The German army, as per the Treaty of Versailles, was limited to 100,000 men – vastly outnumbered by the SA Brown-Shirts. The ‘deal’ between Hitler and the German Bureaucratic establishment, including the 100,000-man professional army, necessitated the disbanding of the SA Brown-Shirts who had won the street war against the (pre-ANTIFA) Communist paramilitary.
Hitler could not send any lesser Nazi official to arrest or execute the SA commander Ernst Roehm; therefore, he went personally to fulfill the ‘deal’ that he made with the German army and bureaucracy.
Ernst Roehm was an unusual character for the era – he was (just like Yasser Arafat of the PLO) a private life homosexual in a world that disallowed public knowledge of a political person’s homosexuality if they were to continue their public political career. Only Hitler personally could get past Ernst Roehm’s security guards. When he entered Roehm’s living quarters, he found his second-in-command in bed with his (male) chauffeur. (Soviet intelligence secretly photographed Yasser Arafat in Communist Romania in bed with his male chauffeur. Soviet intelligence always controlled Yasser Arafat by private blackmail until the Cold War ended.)
Hitler shot Roehm dead and thereby, in command of the SA Brown-Shirts, disbanded them and began the real consolidation of his power with the army living up to the ‘deal’ swearing their personal loyalty to Hitler rather than to the government.
[Two critically important stages led to his absolute power. First, at a legislative session, the first ‘banning’ of a political party occurred. There were three large political factions – the Nazis, the Communists and the Social Democrats. He banned the Communists, arrested their elected leaders and turned his Nazi legislative supporters into a majority rather than a plurality. Step 2 was to pass the ‘Enabling Acts’ which allowed the legislative Nazi majority to effectively dissolve, by transferring both Executive and Legislative Authority to Hitler personally with the vastly expanded German army swearing loyalty to the Fuehrer.]
Massive societal corruption among the so-called ‘Elites’ for several decades in the world of professional politicians, mainstream media and prestigious academia has so perverted this world that George Santayana’s famous quote – “Those cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” – is not merely Ironic but tragically overwhelmingly prophetic.
