Hitler's Courts Video series Parts 2 and 3 (Past can be prologue, readers!)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9VmrsKJeFc&feature=player_detailpage&list=PL9FED823760AAC656Fascism is sneaking in to the USA. Many of the EXACT SAME METHODS are being used. Be alert. Get your Town council to fire AND imprison any police officer that is brutal or racist. That's how it began in Germany (with the LAWS backing the police up!).
Hitler's Courts Part 3: Germany after WWII and the USA after 911. Our democracy is in peril from fascism.
Despite that high sounding and righteous phrase from Nuremberg above, most of the people in the law system were NOT even tried. In the video, you will see what NO LAWYER wants to talk about TODAY in regard to the ILLEGALITY of LAWS that VIOLATE basic human MORALITY. Forget the concentration camp guard just following legal ad lawful orders. That's when things were REALLY far gone. Go back to the German cops in the streets doing a number on the Jews in particular and anybody they wanted to beat up in general. Hello? USA today, anyone? You aren't black so no problem. Dream on, pal!
No amount of hair splitting legalese can justify a LAW that asserts that an assault by a police officer is LAWFUL while self defense against that illegal assault is not. THAT's the LAW in Pennsylvania. IT actually SAYS that, even if the assault by the police officer is ILLEGAL, you have NO RIGHT to defend yourself. BULLSHIT!
Under Pennsylvania law, you may not use force to resist a legal or illegal arrest. Remember you have the right to contest the validity of your arrest later on in court.

Fascism isn't coming; It's HERE, people. It just hasn't rung your bell yet. But it will. If you live in Pennsylvania or any other state with an UNLAWFUL LAW like that above, work to get it changed or watch our country go down the fascist drain.
THAT is what happened in Germany before it got really bad over there. By the early 1940s The SS was allowed to REINTERPRET or DISGARD a LAW or a Court sentence if they considered it TOO LENIENT. What an amazing pile of steaming bullshit.
And it was all done with all the proper legal stamps, motions and sentencing paperwork! The video makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR that it CAN happen here.
IT ALSO, and unfortunately for we-the-people, puts the main responsibility for stopping fascist tyranny that will change our Court System to a murderous travesty of justice on, GET THIS, our Judges and lawyers.
I don't think so. But then, the narrators are representatives of the LAW NOW, so it is PAR FOR THE COURSE for them to do a little Noblesse Oblige Dance.
It was a great video series but, aside from the BRIEF mention of a few travesties of justice perpetrated in the past by the USA and a warning about the danger of too many anti-terrorism laws after 911, they don't say BEANS about how bad it is already.
I know better. They don't want to ADMIT that they are as fearful of losing their JOBS as those German Jurists and lawyers were in the 1930s. If you don't see that, you have a leak in your attic. Don't count on our court system for anything but lip service to democracy at best and, at worst, acting as the willing double talking, rhetoric laced motor mouth handmaiden of fascism, prejudice, brutality and corporate enslavement for profit over planet.
George Orwell was not whistling Dixie. Pass it on. The democracy you save may be your own.
