Did the Neo cons use 9-11 like Hitler used the Reichstag Fire?
And how long are "they" going to get away with it?

http://www.weyrich.com/political_issues/reichstag_fire.html

January 30, 1933
Weimar Republic President Paul von Hindenburg appoints Adolph Hitler Chancellor.

February 27, 1933
The German Parliament (Reichstag) burns down. A dazed Dutch Communist named Marinus van der Lubbe is found at the scene and charged with arson. .

February 28, 1933
President Hindenburg and Chancellor Hitler invoke Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, which permits the suspension of civil liberties in time of national emergency. This Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and State abrogates the following constitutional protections:
Free expression of opinion
Freedom of the press
Right of assembly and association
Right to privacy of postal and electronic communications
Protection against unlawful searches and seizures
Individual property rights
States' right of self-government
A supplemental decree creates the SA (Storm Troops) and SS (Special Security) Federal police agencies.

3. Yes...I'm not stating
that I'm a MIHOPer...but the Reichstag fire WAS set by the Nazis and then blamed on the Communists.

If it's a direct parallel...that does mean MIHOP...

The fallout/response is certainly parallel, though.

11. Probably.....and the OTHER comparison is....
.....their using the Iraqi WMD situation, otherwise known as the lie, as Hitler used the Polish attack on a German radio station, also a lie, to start a war! Jews were put in German uniforms, shot, and place at a radio station just inside the Polish/German border, so that Hitler, like Bush, would have an "excuse" to invade a soveriegn country. HELLO World War II!!

5. See also the "incident" that Hitler used to move on Poland.
That seems to be a forerunner of "Operation Northwoods".

8. Unreal, never knew the Reichstag was Nazi arson on their own building.
I no have to research, so that I can add that to the speech that goes something something "we are in danger from without & from within..." so imfamous and oft quoted during the "Cold" war.
I tell you, those who said they were afraid to fly after 911 made me wonder why. I have just become not worried, but reluctant to fly because of the security hassle. Am I on the "no fly" list, only the shadow (gov) knows for sure. persevere

10. It was not "their" building
Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 03:45 PM by Kellanved
It was - and is - the seat of the German lower house of Parliament. It was torched and the unrest was later used to remove the Communistic (and shortly thereafter the Social Democratic) MPs from their offices, thus creating a majority for Hitler's conservative-fascist coalition .
While the circumstances are still somewhat unclear, most evidence points towards van der Lubbe really being the arsonist. The debate is mostly whatever or not the SA helped him in getting access to the building.

16. How many coincidences does it take?

PNAC openly states the mission: World Domination
The Bush administration and the signers of the PNAC documents are one in the same
Everything just happens to go wrong on 911 by some freak coincidence, a trillion to one odds
Bush sits in the Classroom and others are incommunicado
Bush had gotten warnings that Bin Laden was prepared to strike (and so did daddy bush whom is the only ex president that continues to receive the Presidential daily briefs)
Daddy Bush and a Bin Laden family member are having brunch together on 911
Neal Bush had connections to the World trade center security and The two airports that had the hijackers on them
CBS, NBC, ABC and the Democrats get Anthrax. FOX/CNN & the Republicans don’t.
Anthrax is “weaponized” and comes from our own stockpile
Bush , Cheney, Rice, Rove, Libby, etc… all start taking CIPRO before the Anthrax attack occurs.

They absolutely knew what they were doing and are using the fear of terrorism to drive their agenda forward with help from the media. They could not get away with what they are doing without help from the press. They are just as guilty in my opinion.

17. And Hitler DID the Reichstag fire just like the Neocons DID 9-11.
The path to money and power...they made their plan and intentions perfectly clear in their PNAC document.

18. We have been saying that in DU for 5 years
We even discussed the possibility of a Reichstag incident early in 2001. We just as surprised as everyone else about 9/11, but not surprised about the rush to infringe on our liberties.

19. Judge for yourself. (The source: "Der Schuldige," Der Stürmer, #10/1933.)
Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 11:58 PM by norml


Background: The following lead article from Der Stürmer, Julius Streicher's anti-Semitic weekly, appeared in March 1933, just after the Reichstag fire. The claim is that the fire was part of a world-wide Jewish conspiracy based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The Protocols, a demonstrated forgery, were regularly used by Streicher to support his charge of a sinister world-wide Jewish conspiracy. For more information on the Stürmer and its editor, see my book on Julius Streicher.

The source: "Der Schuldige," Der Stürmer, #10/1933.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Guilty
The Reichstag Fire / The Crimes of Bolshevism / Marxist Agitation /
The Jews as the Cause / The Zionist Protocols /
Convict the World Criminals


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A few days ago, Germany was astonished by the news of arson in the Reichstag. Fires were set in more than twenty places in the building. It was almost completely destroyed. The ringleader is the head of the Communist faction in the Reichstag, Representative Torgler.

At the time time the press brought another unsettling report. In the basement of the "Karl Liebknecht Building" :

secret passages

and hidden tunnels were discovered. Material that encouraged civil war was found. Detailed plans to murder both individuals and groups of Germans citizens were found. The bloody uprising was supposed to begin throughout Germany in the immediate future. There was to be murder and arson in cities and villages.

These news items had a strong effect throughout Germany. The indifferent citizen who had not wanted to see the enormous danger of Bolshevism looked in horror toward Berlin. He too realized now that Germany faced a terrible threat. The burning Reichstag building was the signal that brought every German to his senses.

22. And Van der Lubbe was a council communist, not a Marxist-Leninist
But Hitler used the fire as an excuse to attack the Marxist-Leninists. The same story: attacking B for what A did.

20. Absolutely
I've been saying that for a long time, but last night I looked up "Reichstag Fire" on Wikipedia just to be surer of the facts. It disturbed me so much I had a hard time getting to sleep.

25. Several thoughts
1) IIRC, the Reichstag fire was not set by the Nazis, but they used it to wag the dog. No need for LIHOP or MIHOP where there's blowback.

2) Zbigniew Brzezinski states boldly in his 1998 book, "The Grand Chessboard", that the US population would not accept his policy of imperial expansion without a motivation like a new Pearl Harbor.

3) PNAC says essentially the same thing.

4) Imperial expansion is a bi-partisan policy, which explains why the Democratic leadership has supported the Iraq invasion, etc., etc.

5) Preen time: I alerted my friends to the near certainty that the 911 attack was a Reichstag fire event on 9/11/2001. They laughed at me, but have since stopped.
