Tony Blair - Welcome to National Socialism

Tony Blair today on seizing cash from people not convicted of any crime...

Goebbels told an audience of the Volksgerichtshof (National Socialist People's Court -VGH) judges in 1942, " ...the judiciary has to recognize its political task. Whether a judgment was just or unjust was unimportant; what mattered was that it fulfilled its purpose". A Minister of Justice is reported to have said to the newly appointed President of the VGH: "In general, the judge of the VGH must become accustomed to seeing primarily the ideas and intentions of the leadership of the state, while the human fate which depends on it is only secondary".

It is a small step from the use of the personal pronoun repeated, to arrive finally believing that the law is framed by the subjective will of the Führer himself. It is an easy step to it's general acceptance.

Remember Bush's State of the Union address to Congress January 2003, televised nationwide just before the illegal invasion of Iraq. Claiming success in the War on Terra , Bush said that "more than 3,000 suspected terrorists" had been arrested worldwide – "and many others have met a different fate." Cue sickly knowing grin, a snicker .. "Let's put it this way. They are no longer a problem."

As my nanny used to say, "Well they must be bad men Teddy. or else the Policemen wouldn't have locked them up".
