How about his Reading Material? The way Hitler captivated people. When he gave a speech. (Hitler always arrived late which helped to develop tension and a sense of expectation.) He took the stage, stood to attention and (waited until there was complete silence before he started his speech.) For the first few months Hitler appeared nervous and spoke haltingly. Slowly he would begin to relax and his style of delivery would change. He would start to rock from side to side and begin to gesticulate with his hands. His voice would get louder and become more passionate. Sweat poured of him, his face turned white, his eyes bulged and his voice cracked with emotion. (He ranted and raved about the injustices done to Germany and played on his audience's emotions of hatred and envy.) By the end of the speech the audience would be in a state of near hysteria and were willing to do whatever Hitler suggested. (As soon as his speech finished Hitler would quickly leave the stage and disappear from view.) Refusing to be photographed, (Hitler's aim was to create an air of mystery about himself, hoping that it would encourage others to come and hear the man who was now being described as "the new Messiah".) Hitler's reputation as an orator grew and (it soon became clear that he was the main reason why people were joining the party.) This gave Hitler tremendous power within the organization as they knew they could not afford to lose him. One change suggested by Hitler concerned adding "Socialist" to the name of the party. Hitler had always been hostile to socialist ideas, especially those that involved racial or sexual equality. However, socialism was a popular political philosophy in Germany after the First World War. This was reflected in the growth in the German Social Democrat Party (SDP), the largest political party in Germany. Hitler, therefore redefined socialism by placing the word 'National' before it. He claimed he was only in favour of equality for those who had "German blood". Jews and other "aliens" would lose their rights of citizenship, and immigration of non-Germans should be brought to an end. In February 1920, the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) published its first programme which became known as the "25 Points". In the programme the party refused to accept the terms of the Versailles Treaty and called for the reunification of all German people. To reinforce their ideas on nationalism, equal rights were only to be given to German citizens. "Foreigners" and "aliens" would be denied these rights. (To appeal to the working class and socialists, the programme included several measures that would redistribute income and war profits, profit-sharing in large industries, nationalization of trusts, increases in old-age pensions and free education.) (Hitler's ability to arouse in his supporters emotions of anger and hate often resulted in their committing acts of violence.) In September 1921, Hitler was sent to prison for three months for being part of a mob who beat up a rival politician. When Hitler was released, he formed his own private army called Sturm Abteilung (Storm Section). (The SA (also known as stormtroopers or brownshirts) were instructed to disrupt the meetings of political opponents and to protect Hitler from revenge attacks.) Captain Ernst Roehm of the Bavarian Army played an important role in recruiting these men, and Hermann Goering, a former air-force pilot, became their leader. Do the Parts Pointed out here in parenthesees Sound Familiar? All things that Obama has also done to an extent. So... do you think that Barack Obama's change is a good thing? What about change that resembles Adolph Hitler's SS? Quote: The SS grew from a small paramilitary unit to an elite force that served as the Führer's "Praetorian Guard," the Nazi Party's "Shield Squadron" and a force with as much political influence as the regular German armed forces. Built upon the Nazi racial ideology, the SS, under Heinrich Himmler's command, was primarily responsible for the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis during the Second World War. In a speech by Barack Obama given July 2nd in Colorado Springs, he uttered these words... Quote: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." ...in other words, a Special Security force that is under his direct control, unfettered by constraints placed on our military forces regarding action against citizens. He also spoke of civilian service, which includes this... Quote: We'll send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. ...which smells to high heaven of the Hitler Youth, and the re-education activities of the Nazis. Did you know that Barack Obama supporters in Missouri, particularly Chief's of Police, Sheriffs, and Prosecutors, have banded together in a group called... "The Truth Squad", who's purpose is to "go after" anyone running advertising that is deemed to be "untruthful." Obama campaign cracks down on misleading TV ads September 23rd, 2008 The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign. Now, perhaps there is nothing wrong with pointing out untruthful, misleading information. But in this case, there is an implicit threat from law enforcement and the courts, that if you make political claims about Barack Obama, you will be arrested and prosecuted. Does that sound like America to you?
