Parallels in Greece coincide with Hitlers rise to power

[colt1rgr]

This is definitely some scary stuff and when ya couple it with the EU's crumbling financial situation and France's newly elected socialist regime ya have to wonder "what will be the catalyst?"

What makes this more interesting is the following. In order for Hitler to gain the peoples vote the German people had to be going through hell. After the end of WWI and the treaty that ended that, the German people had no rights and their government had to pay reparations which sent Germany into a tail spin to the shit whole. Hitler assumed power with a Germany at 47% unemployment. He saved Germany’s economy and saved “face” of the people. He actually copied Mussolini’s ideas to run the country. The autobahn was Mussolini’s idea and so on. Then the rest is History.

Today we have at least 5 European countries in financial turmoil. Maybe more as Holland and Denmark I believe are in trouble now. Germany which is Europe’s power house in industry and GDP decided that all countries with economic problems must instill austerity measures. The problem is that it’s not the fault of the people but rather the fault of corrupt politicians in all these countries.

Now we have Greece which had a minimum monthly wage of about $800 being pushed down to $300 a month. The people here, having mortgages and loans that have monthly payments of $400 to $600 a month (example) are wondering how this will be covered? Not to mention that the price of gas is $9 a gallon and the prices at the supermarket are the same as when there was no crisis.

So when you have a people getting suppressed like those of pre-Hitler days it goes without saying that the vote at the ballots will go accordingly. So far, the communist have gone from about an 11% to at least 25% and they will send Frau Merkel and her austerity measures you know were. The far right being “neo-Nazis” are at 8% a jump from the 0.4% that they were.

On the 17 of June we have elections again…. The campaign to hold the austerity measures is great especially on TV via the News, commercials. Nevertheless, people are struggling to make ends meat. The 18th of June (the day after the elections) will be an interesting day. To be honest I refuse to speculate on the outcome. I have friends that vote from the extreme left to the extreme right and everything in between so I just don’t know. What I do know is that my family income is down 40% at least and my expenses didn’t budge since pre-crisis days.

It’s not my fault but corrupt politicians are still making 6 figures while my combined family income is almost $17,000 per year! I’m 52 years old with a son that will want to go to college in 6 years………

Who should I vote for?

Who should I vote for?

Vote your pocketbook.

Who should I vote for?

Vote your pocketbook.

That's the hard part, all parties claim the pocketbook will work best with them. I can safely say that everything from the left to and including the center left is excluded by principal. After that I have to think....

On TV this morning there was a discussion between a fascist party member, a communist party member (female) and a coalition communist party member (female), with a center right party and a center left party member. The fascist called the both female communist party members “dirty communists” and they called him a “Nazi” fascist. I’m paraphrasing but the outcome was as follows…

The fascist threw a glass of water in one of the communists face and the other slapped the fascist with a news paper. So the fascist gets up and punches the communist lady in the face about 4 times. All hell broke lose for a bit and they locked the fascist in a room. He kicked the door down and while leaving said “I’ll be back with 100 of my boys and show all of you”.

I guess things are heating up before elections…
