In recent days much has
been said about MP
Larry Millers comparing those that favor the gun registry to the
Hitler regime, whilst I think that in this case
there is no comparison its hard for someone who has alluded to such
comparison when speaking about our current PM and his regime to be
overly critical. So I will say right here that I in no way wish to
suggest that Herr Harper supports genocide or the killing of Jews,
rather the opposite seems to be the case as he seems to think that
Israel can do no wrong. I do find this comparison rather ironic
however when it comes from a member of the most tightly controlled
and least open party we have ever had in power in Canada.
Hitler was a dictator
who ran the country with an iron fist surrounded by a few trusted
lieutenants who effectively dictated policy to the detriment of all
who did not agree with them. He came to power largely by democratic
means and his ability to sway the public opinion, in part due to the
fear of further depression. Prior to coming to power any who voiced
disagreement during his speeches were removed, after those removed
included any in his party who dared to oppose him.
“During
1933-34, Hitler
consolidated his authority through
the destruction of all other political parties, "coordination"
of all aspects of German life, and the liquidation of dissent”
“March
1933 Election The
Nazis stepped up their harassment
of their political opponents,
“
“On
March 23, 1933, the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act, which gave
dictatorial authority to Hitler's cabinet for four years. Armed with
full powers, Hitler moved to eliminate
all possible centers of opposition.
His policy is known as Gleichschaltung,
which translates literally as coordination. In this context, however,
it meant more precisely subordination, that is, subordinating
all independent institutions to the authority of Hitler
and the Nazi Party.”
The Nazi Party
Organization Book says The
Führer is always right! Never
go against discipline! Let
the program be your dogma.
Given the above I have to say that I find the comparison between the two regimes much more compelling than any comparison to those who would retain a list of long gun owners. I will leave it up to the reader to decide which is closer to the truth.
-------------------------------------
In regard to the
elimination all possible
centers of opposition watch for the Parliamentary Budget
Officer to be eased out in the near future and replaced with a more
amenable (read less thorough and honest) individual. Over the last
few years Kevin Page has repeatedly been at odds with the Harper
Regimes budgetary forecast and in almost ever case been proven to be
correct. He
now points out that the recent threats to
increase the eligibility age for OAS and GIS are not
necessary needed and that the scare tactics
that say the pension system is not sustainable are not
necessarily true. For his pains his report was
called "unbelievable, unreliable, incredible." by one of
the Harper faithful. In my view he should be given the Order of
Canada for services above and beyond under constant attack from the
ruling regime!
Then there is the
recent attack
on environmentalists who have been dubbed
'radicals' by this regime, it now seems that they
are now considered a terrorist threat. - The
minister said that, in addition to foreign threats, the government
would be vigilant against domestic extremism that is “based on
grievances – real or perceived – revolving around the
promotion of various causes such as animal rights, white supremacy,
environmentalism and anti-capitalism.” How long will it
be before openly criticizing Harper and his followers becomes a crime
against the state, next on the list may well be the blogging
community, keep you head up folks.
