You have to admit that it’s funny that everything we say is paranoia, and everything you say is cold hard fact. You know what else was paranoia? The people in Germany who were like, Hey, wait a second, this Hitler dude’s doing some crazy shit. While the complicit nodded along and said, Quit being paranoid!

Here’s a little ditty from the Nuremberg trials. Take note. “What about those of us who knew better? We who knew the words were lies, and worse than lies? Why did we sit silent? Why did we take part? Because we loved our country! What difference does it make if a few political extremists lose their rights? What difference does it make if a few racial minorities lose their rights? It is only a passing phase. It is only a stage we are going through. It will be discarded sooner or later. Hitler himself will be discarded… sooner or later. The country is in danger. We will march out of the shadows. We will go forward. Forward is the great password.”

Sound familiar? To you it may not. Therein lies the issue.
