“To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it… Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning… one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.”

Ironic isn’t it. The facist state is here and nobody notices it. Just this morning I had a delivery man here ranting away about the horrible democrats, and the satanic ACLU.
I loved his rant about how the liberals, the mexicans and the homosexuals had ruined this country, never realizing that those in control were playing him (and all of us in reality), like cheap fiddles.
If they can get you asking the wrong questions they don’t have to worry about the answers. We are here and no one has noticed that freedom is a thing of the past and all that is left is for us to feed the machine of corporate facism.
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945
sums it up nicely i believe…
