What a tragically stupid country we are.

This chapter of the book goes into great detail about how Hitler chose lawyers to oversee the occupation of Poland, the annexation of Austria, etc. etc. Lawyers were vastly overrepresented among the commanders of the Einsatzgruppen (paramilitary death squads). Cont'd

(Rose here) This section seems especially critical RIGHT NOW. Federal employees are being pressured to resign, or to submit to the PFOTUS (Predicate Felon of the United States)'s demands, immediately. Overwhelmingly THEY ARE REFUSING. These are OUR Federal employees; SUPPORT THEM. Be proud.

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty — power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The hand entrusted with power becomes, either from human depravity or esprit du corps, the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted Agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity. Wendell Phillips, American Abolitionist Speeches before the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, January, 1852.

This is who we KNOW said it. AND he warned us all that w/o constant vigilance the hand entrusted w/power becomes the enemy of the people. That w/o continual oversight the powerful office of democracy itself is destined to become a despot. He warned us all 173 years ago. NOW we pay attention.
