Some days I carry around a 1938 8x56R shell, as a reminder of history. It is a beautiful piece of work, gold colored from tip to tail. That caliber was never used as a combat round by Hitler’s army, but rather used to execute civilians. Millions of them.
It reminds me of what a psychotic leader can do, once he gets the population whipped up into an hysterical, mindless fear.
Schools still teach history these days ?
No – the mere mention of guns or bullets is grounds for expulsion. WWII was fought by a bunch of guys giving mean looks to each other.
Don’t forget the chemical warfare which consisted of farting in the opponents general direction.
Nice touch! 😉
No they don’t. Looks to have a Nazi branding on it. Interesting piece
Might be used again, against us climate change deniers, if there is a repeat of 1936.
Reminds me of an article published before the 2008 election, “Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuehrer.” http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html
If I remember correctly, during that same time period, the other of the Axis powers, Japan, invaded China and executed approximately twenty-five million Chinese people. The slaughter was so heartless; the Japanese considered their victims NOT WORTH THE COST OF A BULLET, so they used swords. So I echo your thoughts, “…what a psychotic leader can do, once he gets the population whipped up into an hysterical, mindless fear.” Then, I make the obvious connection with the rabble calling for the persecution and prosecution of “deniers” like me… Oddly enough, there is no single psychotic leader, whipping the greenies into a murderous lather; it is a beast with many heads, not a beast with a single head. Mann, AlGore, Lewandowski… each head has a name. (yes, “AlGore” – pronounced similarly to igor, the hunchbacked assistant to the madman Frankenstein – and this, necessarily, casts Bill Clinton as Frankenstein…)
Our news media are equally culpable for not holding our leaders accountable.
We no longer have a News Media they are the mouthpieces of the Liberals
Actually they are the mouth pieces for the Central Bankers (Same diff.)
SEE link for MSM – banker connections.
Steve, don’t carry that in the Capitol of the Land of the Free. You may end up in jail.
