The Left Is Enjoying Its Reichstag Fire Moment

I don't think it matters too much that our main perpetrators in this case were a buffalo and podium-packin' Florida Man.

Yeah, along with Duck Dynasty and quite a few other unhinged private citizens.

This isn’t going to end well.

For some reason I've been stating something about May, a turn of events. The month of May, I should do a little research what takes place in May about people and government.

Why would state anything without your own research?

Something you heard? A dream maybe?

Just curious.

Mayday does come to mind though

He did admit to it so there's that.

The evil, vile left engineered a situation so that they could take advantage and crush freedoms.

The fires are highly up to debate and most historians lean to Hitler's thugs started to fires to blame on the communist / Bolsheviks party, it was a false flag for Hitler to gain more power.

Trump basically called on his zealous followers to go storm the capitol building. How is this the same? I don't see a connection. If anything, Trump is creating the stir right in front of everyone's eyes.

if you wanted to create a similar scenario Antifa and BLM would have been wolves in sheep's clothes and stormed the capitol but they didn't. This was all Trump, and his followings doing, freely and willingly.

Weird. I didn’t see 74 million people there. Plus all the ones questioning why the #walkaway movement has been silenced or the election was stolen. Or.... nvm

All just a bunch of nutters according to you

On here of all places

I don't know if I buy that, van der Lubbe confessed and there was still due process in Germany at that point so I don't think he was coerced.

Neither did I, but I did see a bunch of bat*** crazy wackos there.

So I've read, but for some reason historians still seem to be unsure. Who knows why. They seem to be unsure of a great many things actually.

Damn! He is? Well somebody better send him a letter express Mail in the PO I guess because he has about 9 days to finish what he started

“Trump is creating the stir right in front of everyone’s eyes”

Um. Ok. Bigly task for one dude eh?

Maybe others are looking at all the players.

Not the guy getting sidelined. Permanently

Hey, if Bill Ayers can bomb The Capitol and then not be
sorry, not regret what he did, then go on to write books
for Obama and get his campaign off the ground with
meetings in his home, then go on to be a distinguished
professor....Trump has nothing to worry about right?

A little background on the Capitol bombing.



That is just openers!

Are they? The general consensus is that van der Lubbe started the fire and confessed.

Hey. It’s nice to have idols and attribute your rise to power to!

Innit?

Show us the video or the transcript of Trump calling on his followers to storm the capitol building.

Just like it’s common knowledge Hitler was an MI plant, right?

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

There's finer details, for starters the Nazi party had not yet established their distinction of being a fascist group. Lubbe would have easily been won over by the National Socialist party, especially by a bunch of liars within Hitlers group of sociopaths. The Nazi party were fully involved in "intellectual" subversion in the northern regions of Europe to swoon over the population easy, not as harsh as they did in Austria but it was there.

Believe whatever makes you feel best, you might even get a trophy. You're a history winner!

a reply to: Klassified

Excellent point, here is more from the link hat I find important to repeat:

While some people have always maintained that the whole thing was a false flag, most historians believe than van der Lubbe really did set the fire. Nonetheless, the advantages it gave to the Nazis were clear, and so it was no surprise when, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II ended, German General Franz Halder declared that he had heard one of the most prominent and influential Nazis, Hermann Göring, boast that he himself had set the fire. When confronted with Halder’s statement, Göring denied having had anything to do with the fire, but there is no doubt that its chief beneficiary was Germany’s new National Socialist regime. The Reichstag fire enabled the National Socialists to declare their political opponents enemies of the state and accordingly silence them and outlaw their activity, and opened the door to World War II and the Holocaust.

We are still in the fog of trying to figure out what exactly occurred. Everybody needs to calm the f* down because the rhetoric is getting dangerous. 74.2 million people voted for Trump and I am sure those of you that are against him have neighbors or friends that are pro Trump (whether you know it or not) that are good neighbors and friends to you.

Growing up my Mom told me that you should always imagine yourself in someone else’s shoes before you judge them because one day you can find yourself in the same position....

Much love and peace to ALL of you in this crazy time.

74 Million people voted for him. His voice isn't falling on deaf ears.

I get all that, and it plays into the general mood, I just think his confession is pretty strong and that Hitler, Goebbels, et. al., didn't have the wherewithal to actually pull it off themselves and not get caught. They were still on the outside looking in and even Hitler felt it was a stroke of luck.
