*Dr. David Kaiser
History Unfolding
*
*I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written
15 books on history that have been published in six
languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have
come to think there is something monumentally large afoot,
and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a
mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but
they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that
is only now coming into a sharper focus..
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense
it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like,
and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be
brewing, but there is something happening within our country
that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The
pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our
banks make massive loans to people we know they can never
pay back? Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has
little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two
trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past
few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose
the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is
three times the $700 billion we all argued about so
strenuously just this past September. Who has this money?
Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us?
Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a
government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our
elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally
de-industrializing our economy... Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our
history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we
are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students
by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or
articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not
picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every
close election (violently in California over a proposition
that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to
remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you
ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have
corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected
judges to write laws that radically change our way of life,
and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to
turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are
in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking
system is on the verge of collapse, social security is
nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government.
Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college
and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is
staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is
potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we
cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same
religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of
your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows
anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen,
let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his
associations and alliances are with real radicals in their
chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about
him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary
(Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create
and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than
our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course.
The media would never play that for you over and over and
then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter
and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)
Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word:
Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my
children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together, something
he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my
assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines,
push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new
and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And
when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning..
**As a serious student of history, I thought I would never
come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have
felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a
former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about
whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they
should have known was that he was associated with groups
that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom
they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage
through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.
And there were the promises. Economic times were tough,
people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he
smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even
newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his
"brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission.
Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to
office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at
hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized
the controls of government power, person by person,
department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The
children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to
join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught
exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so.
No Jews of course,
How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising
jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards
for the military-industrial complex. He did it by
indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health
care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to
re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe ,
and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did
you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice
and .... . ... change. And the people surely got what they
voted for.
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there
in the history books.
So read your history books. Many people of conscience
objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names,
laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed
out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House
of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was
booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was
right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not
listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most
cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art,
museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet,
in _less than six years_ (a shorter time span than just two
terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own
citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning
children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors..
All with the best of intentions, of course.. The road to
Hell is paved with them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional
decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the
objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me
cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting
to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope
I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and
ignoring what is transpiring around me..
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will
scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or
both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been
afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what
I believe-and why I believe it.
**I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only
hope is our vote in the next elections.

Pass this along. Perhaps it will help to begin the awakening
of America as to where we are headed.
