Traveling the Quiet Road to Tyranny
By Wen Wryte

Could we be traveling a quiet road to tyranny?

Steve McCann’s recent summary of what we now know about the events on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021 indicates why we should all be very worried about the US, leader of the free world, sliding ever closer towards tyranny.

But it’s a slow journey on a quiet road, with the final destination not yet in sight.

J.B. Shurk has set out how far we’ve already come on this quiet road to tyranny

How do tyrannical despots attain absolute power without a violent revolution?  They do it by stealth.  It’s happened before.  Eighty-eight years ago, to be precise.

On Jan. 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was awarded the chancellorship of Germany by the ailing President Hindenberg.  Although the Nazis were losing electoral support, they remained the largest party in the Reichstag, but without anything near a working majority.  Hitler seized the chance to take control of all the reins of power.  His pretext for the assumption of dictatorial powers was the Reichstag fire of Feb. 27, 1933.

Somehow a man managed to get into the Reichstag and -- supposedly undetected -- started a fire which turned into a conflagration.  Where was the security?

Compare this with what happened on Jan. 6: the videos show the door-security officials at the Congress building inviting the participants in.  Unfortunately for the Democrats’ agenda, there was very little disruption or destruction (although the shooting of Ashli Babbitt has yet to be the subject of a public investigation).

Yes. As Antifa mirrors Ernst Roehm's "Brown Shirts". As censorship in media grows and grows and free speech dies. As the American version of Krystallnacht lasts for weeks but is replete with the same sort of looting and burning. So many similarities...

The left will eventually screw up, big time.

My fear is in the meantime they will fill up the nation with so many line jumpers who are agreeable to socialism the political demographic will be irreparably damaged.

The similarities are frightening. I recently read a novel set in 1940-41 France. The protagonist was a Resistance fighter. I couldn't help but ponder whether I'd have the guts to join the Resistance, knowing the Gestapo could nab me at any time.
