Hitler Speaks

[necron2.0]

Not sure if this is something that should go into “the Senate” or not, so I’ll let the PTB decide. Some may find the subject matter controversial. I don’t, but some might. Anyway, I guess this came out last year sometime, but I’d only seen it recently on one of the Discovery Channels:

The Private Voice of Hitler

For the first time, viewers are able to hear what the Fuehrer was saying - in his own voice - in those familiar silent home movies that Eva Braun filmed at the Berghoff. With the amazing Automatic Lip Reading (ALR) technology, we learn what Hitler said while he relaxed in the Bavarian sun as the war raged. Then, using audio from a secret tape, Hitler's own voice is used to dub the movies, bringing the enigmatic images fully to life as never before.

I must confess to being fascinated by Hitler. I’m not fascinated by the man, rather, I’m fascinated by the icon, by everything that went into making him. People have dismissed him as just an evil man, but I think that misses the larger point. He wasn’t unique, in any respect. Hitler was made. He was a product of his times, and the product of what others drove him to be. That to me points to something much scarier than just an evil man. That to me says that Hitler is not truly dead, nor can he ever be. Somebody like him will come again, and again and again, so long as there are human beings, and so long as people will rally behind a figurehead promising revenge.

I had no idea about this, and I think it would be a fascinating look into the man.

Which is precisely why we can NEVER give evil a chance to gain a foothold, anywhere, at any time. Period.

Unfortunately, that's what happens everytime someone gets voted into office. (Or someone of considerable charisma, as Hitler was obviously possessed of in his time, in that country, is given--or seizes-- the opportunity to lead ) As for us, now I'm not saying, "stop going out to vote". That's one of the few veiled, lip-service freedoms we actually have left in this country. (Other countries are far less fortunate.) But, as has been said elsewhere, it just doesn't seem like we're going out to vote for the right person for the country anymore. It's more like we're going out to vote for the lesser of two evils. (Or three, or four, depending on how many candidates are running.)

Hitler was a New England Patriots fan.

LOL!
That's funny . That video is universally used for just about anything that represents an upset.
