A historical quote by him

chanceschnadenberg — 2024-01-22 23:13:10 UTC

“German boys! Do you know the country without freedom, the country of terror and tyranny? Yes, you know it well, but are afraid to talk about it. They have intimidated you to such an extent that you don't dare talk for fear of reprisals. Yes you are right; it is Germany — Hitler Germany! Through their unscrupulous terror tactics against young and old, men and women, they have succeeded in making you spineless puppets to do their bidding.”

But our present State is a

dictatorship of Evil.

"We've known

that for a long time," I can hear

you say

"and it is not necessary

for you to remind us of it once

again." So I ask you: If you are

aware of this, why do you not stir

why

yourselves? Why do you permit this

autocrat to rob you of one sphere of

your rights after another,

little by

little, both overtly and in secret?

One day there will be nothing left,

nothing at all, except for a

mechanized

national engine that has

been commandeered by criminals and
