Stop thinking and follow me cried Hitler
I will make you masters of the world.
And the people answered, HElL!!
Stop thinking and believe in me, bellowed Mussolini
and I will restore the glory that was ruined.
The people answered ll Duce! Il Duce!
Stop thinking and follow your God-Emperor cried the
Japanese War-Lords and Japan will rule the world.
And the people answered: Banzai! Banzai!
Each system was alike and that the constitutional
law-making bodies gave up their power.
The Reichstag in Berlin.
The House of Deputies in Rome.
The Diet in Tokyo.
And these elected representatives,
became collections of stooges.
Rubber stamp organizations.
Applauding on cue, the words
of the leaders.
Each system did away with free-speech,
and free-assembly.
Each system did away with free-press and
substituted a press controlled by the party
Through their ministry of propaganda,
each took complete control of theatre,
..the movies, the radio. Every cultural
activity in every channel of information,
..was controlled by the most
important members of the party.
Each did away with free courts,
and trail by jury.
And substituted courts and judges,
run by the party.
Each abolished labour unions, and
the rights of bargaining for wages.
And under the pretext of patriotism,
established the system of forced labour
Each enforced its decrees, by an army of secret
police, who held the power of life and death,
..over every individual.
And for the few who still believed in freedom
and said so, there was a ready answer.
"Only the application of force used continuously
and ruthlessly can bring about the decision...
..in favour of the side it supports."
"Mein Kampf" -Page 189 German Edition
"The greatest intellect in the world,
can be silenced with this."
That is an exact translation of the words
these black-shirts cheer so lustily.
"Whenever I hear anyone mention the word culture,
the first thing I do is reach for my gun."
Yes, they had the answers,
the black-jack and the gun.
In ltaly they did it differently.
While in Japan.
To their names, can be added
hundreds of thousands of others
..who stood in the way of the new order
Finally there is only one obstacle left,
I am the Light of the World, he that follow me shall
not walk in darkness, but have the light of hope.
The word of God and the word of purists
can not be reconciled.
"l am absolutely clear in my own mind, and I think l
can speak for the Fhrer as well.
That both the Catholic and Protestant churches
must banish from the life of our people."
Thus spoke Dr. Alfred Rosenberg and if you
had any doubt he spoke for his Fhrer
..here's what happened.
