Quote from Thunderdog:
Thank you for an outstanding thread. The video is remarkable and very much worth watching in its entirety.
The recounting of the 10 essential steps to closing an open society read like a recipe for dictatorial regimes, and the documented parallels drawn between and among Bush, Hitler, Stalin and a few others are indisputable. This was some really scary stuff, and the people who minimize its import are exactly the kind of people who enabled the the dictators of the past to take root.
As it happens, I just recently finished reading a biography about George Soros, which ended with his distaste for Bush and his likening of the Bush administration to that of Hitler's Nazi Germany. Soros dedicated his philanthropic life to opening closed societies and saw the growing parallels between what Bush was doing and what Soros had lived through in his early life.
