Odd, Bill Maher Makes Hitler Sound Good

Mar 15, 2016 9:30AM PDT


Of course he did have deviant film makers there, just like we have in Hollywood. He did have marxist causing street battles, we saw the beginning of such by Bernie's Bolsheviks in Chicago. The marxist even took over Berlin for awhile before he became Chancellor, which is why his group was in Nuremberg instead, at first. He did face Europe having ripped off Germany economically after WW1. He did see Germans starving after the Weimar Republic collapsed under fiat money inflation by a central bank (their version of Federal Reserve). He did have world Jewry declare a world wide boycott of German produced goods, (the Jews termed it a "war") which in turn infuriated the German citizens, stokiing the growing anti-semitism thereby. He did stand against the Reds, promoted infrastructure to rebuild Germany and provide jobs. He was behind the creation of the Volkswagen so not just the rich had vehicles, but the middle class could to. The Autobahn still there today was his vision. He went after moral corruption on the nation, against sodomites, against prostitutes, encouraged moral lifestyle. Like Kennedy who copied him later, Hitler started youth programs to promote exercise and the building up of the nation's youth and health. There was a lot of good he did, much in his first 6 years, and even his critics said if he'd stopped there and not started the war with France, he'd be considered one of the greatest German leaders to this day. He never declared war on Britain, that was Churchill's doing. He did declare war on USA, reluctantly, due to our becoming involved with the British war against him. His speech about declaration of war on USA and why is quite revealing of another point of view, from Germany's side of it. Actually, we started attacking German subs even though there was no state of war between us and Germany. Here's a early quote from one speech.

"The struggle against marxism, has for the first time, evolved into a united struggle. For the first time, I allow myself, as an unknow man, to start a war, and not rest until this plague has been removed from the German way of life."
Hitler was an extreme patriot, a war hero, injured in WW1, for Germany and committed to his stand against Marxism, which is one reason he was puzzled why the rest of the West didn't recognize the threat from Russia and stand with him.

In case you don't get it, the above was not actual comparison but a Bill Maher concoction to slur Trump.

To better understand history, one must examine it from both sides, compare propaganda from both sides too, because that reveals the steps to war, and maybe ways such could have been avoided.

What I remember reading about Hitler's complaint

against the Jews was that they controlled too much of the money. We have politicians today that say similar though their anger isn't directed toward an ethnic people.
