Hitler: The Rise of Evil is a Canadian TV miniseries in two parts, directed by Christian Duguay and produced by Alliance Atlantis. It explores Adolf Hitler's rise and his early consolidation of power during the years after World War I and focuses on how the embittered, politically fragmented and economically buffeted state of German society following the war made that ascent possible.

    Today we have the same rise to power of the Rabid Radical Religious Reich backing the Republican/Tea Party with the support of the multiple billionaires trying to buy the elections to put into place a Christo-Fascist government.

    Very scary that history can repeat itself so close together that we can really see the comparisons.

    Mostly quite good. I have only one bone to pick.

    This is a semi-historical fiction. Most of the script cites known historical fact. Some of the events portrayed here, like the details of Hitler's personal life, have no historical sources and were made up by the dramatist. Worse yet, other events, like the exact events of the Beer Hall Putsch, have many contradictory sources, each telling a different tale. The author of this TV docudrama owes his audience about a minute of narration to separate facts, controversy, and fiction. The story of Hitler's rise to power is just too important. Everyone must know the truth well enough to be sure this sad history is never repeated.

    Some parts of the film distorts the truth about Hitler like about him beating a dog in the trench during WW1. Hitler was an advocate in the welfare of animals. Unfortunately most of his actions did more harm than good.

    My great uncle was from northern Germany. He ended up in Plaszow a feeder camp to Ausclavitz-Birkenau extermination camp. He was freed by the Allies two days before transfer to be killed along with over 200 others.

    He came to the US in the late 1940's and when I was younger warned us of just what is happening today in the US because it is EXACTLY what he saw happening in Germany in the 1930's and early 1940's.

    "WHEN Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the Flag, and carrying a cross" is a saying attributed to Sinclair Lewis. It is even more true today.

    Hitler came to power with the aid of the RCC and a couple of the Protestant sects plus the money backing of the industrial barons of the time, a couple of American ones too.

    Today the Republican Party, backed by the Rabid Radical Religious Reich and the multiple multi-billionaires of industry are making the same mistake, Most definitely.

    Fascism always starts with a charismatic person, like Obama. A smooth talking con-man like Bill Clinton, or a hypnotic sociopath like FDR. The people are lulled into a bubble of false security. They are willing victims.

    Germany had been bombed and gassed into submission by England, France, and the United States to preserve the brutal and racist British Empire. The Brits and their Royalty, the head of the Church of England, saddled Germany with grotesque reparation payments meant to keep the Germans in perpetual poverty. The money lenders were all too happy to keep the pot boiling and to take advantage whenever they could.

    As soon as a charismatic talker came around promising the moon the people went for it.. just lke today in America.

    WRONG!!! Fascism ALWAYS starts with economic distress of the Rich!! They look for a person to represent them without being to much in front of the camera's Plus they get the backing of the vocals at the local churches to back them up via much needed donations.

    But just for your entertainment THIS IS THE REAL ROMNEY and what he thinks of 47% of the Nations' citizens right out of his own mouth!!!

    WRONG!!! Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Axelrod, Bernanke, Geithner, Bill Clinton, and others have led this country to the door of the poorhouse. Obama is already rightly referred to as, 'The Food Stamp President'. Obama acted quickly to bail out his Union thugs and Wall Street Banksters, while the rest of Main Street lay twisting in the wind.

    Obama has already seized power through his use of executive orders, endless war, and the money printing presses of the Federal Reserve. The Fed is run by a group of foreign banksters who Bernanke refuses to identify. We can all take an educated guess who these foreign bankers represent.

    And you have a very warped vie of the conditions of our nations finances during the Bush II years. We lost over $3 Trillion to tax cuts for the rich A REPUBLICAN action. We had continuously smaller job creation, as a matter of fact under Obama there have been more jobs created in just 3 years than were created during the FULL 8 years of Bush II. 4.5 million v 2.9 million

    Ge a life.

    You have a warped and distorted view of the Bush years. Must be a Union shill or Government drone. The Unemployement rate under the Bush administration never went over 7% the entire 8 years of the Bush Presidency. The Unemployment rate under Obama has never gone UNDEr 8% during the entire Obama Presidency.

    Obama has created more DEBT in less than 4 years than Bush created in 8 years!!! Plus, Obama and the Social Democrats controlled the House and Senate the last two years of the Bush Presidency.

    Unemployment during a growing economy is NOT THE PRIMARY STATISTIC that needs to be looked at. ANY economist will tell you that with a continuing decline in newly employed there will be a turning point into DECLINE of employment and rising UN EMPLOYMENT.

    The Recession of 2008 started all the way back in 2005!!! I saw it happening in the continued decline of tax revenue from sales tax. I had to budget for a $28 million dollar a year based upon tax receipts. When I saw the steady decline in 2003,4 and 5 along with the fewer and fewer jobs being created I KNEW we were going to be in for a HUGE recession and I warned my work mates to pay off every credit card and every outstanding debt they had and DON'T hang yourselves with debt.!!! Those that took my advice have survived this recession. Those that didn't well lets say they need a place to live, being kind.

    As for the rise in unemployment, when the bottom fell out of the financial industry because of their greed and lack of due diligence, It was the ENTIRE WORLD that suffered.

    With the Tax Cuts for the Rich and Corporations that Bush II put into place in 2002, we LOST over $ 3.4 Trillion dollars in tax income all the while spending over $4.8 Trillion on two wars. Total debt created by Bush II over $8 Trillion dollars, from an acco...

    The continuation of the Bush II Tax Cuts, the two wars and sudden decrease of over 16% of income taxes from the roughly 20 million newly unemployed, has been the continued cause of our current budget deficits.

    THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THIS AROUND AND NOT FALL INTO A DEPRESSION, is to put people back to work by ANY MEANS POSSIBLE.

    YET!!!! The obstructionist of the Republican / Tea Party elected in 2010 has stomped all over ANY attempts for the government to assist in getting the economy growing more rapidly. As it is over 4.5 million have been put back to work since April 2009. It has been a slow but steady return out of recession and the Republican/Tea Party, rather than assist the American Economy by putting people back to work rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, have done everything to stop ANY growth at all to attempt to discredit President Obama.

    You don't like what I have written I am sure, but there are very few economists that would disagree with my assessment. See Kiplinger Letters and their Economists Magazine was getting vibes back in 2003 that we were having problems. The Washington Letter and their California Letter detailed several problems that were not being addressed by the Congress when it came to the problems facing the Financial industry. They and several others were not listened too, and as a result we had a massive recession.

    I have two degrees one in Business and one in Economics. I went CASH ONLY in 1975. NO CREDIT at all. A guy named Dave Ramsey came along in 1990 or so and has been very successful selling the idea of CASH ONLY. No Debt with his Book Financial Peace and his program, Financial Peace University and his newest book "Total Money Make Over"

    I believe in the principle he made a fortune at and has helped others achieve financial security. But at the same time I also believe we are our brothers keepers, They are NOT opposed concepts.

    I suggest you pull your head out of your posterior orifice and see the REAL WORLD as it is today, and how we MUST put people back to work to survive this recession or you can kiss your posterior good bye.

    The Tech Bubble signaled the beginning of the Recession back in 2000, during the last year of the Clinton administration. I knew then that we had entered a new era of government diktat and money printing.

    It is clear to me and many other economists that Alan Greenspan's money expansion and Clinton's easy credit at the Fed and FNMA created the Real Estate Bubble. Bush inherited this mess, along with Bin Laden and al Qiada, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, and then of course 9-11... the Clinton Legacy.

    The tax reform during the Bush Administration affected all people and lowered rates on capital. Dividends were being taxed twice by Clinton and the Leftists and Capital Gains were treated like ordinary income, greatly inhibiting the stock market, which provides liquidity to companies and allows all people to participate in our great system of free enterprise.

    Collectivists like yourself see nothing wrong with Big Govt taking money from the people and spending it on endless wars and Bailouts for the Rich. Stop fretting over the money the rich have and start fretting over the money the Government steals.

    The Real Estate bubble was caused by GREED of the brokers/Banks/wall street making loans which no responsible lender would do, the banks for turning them into bundled commodities and Wall Street laundering them to other banks. It was a house of cards from the word "sold" was put on the for sale sign in front of the homes.

    I have purchased 11 properties since 1980 to add to my farm/ranch which is now about 1245 acres. EVERY ONE of the purchases was a distressed sale because they got in over their heads on credit. 7 of them since 2007. I bought the CASH and about $0.08 on the dollar of appraised value as a average. One I bought for TWO CENTS for every dollar the person paid for it. The banks lost their shirts and the owners were sold a bill of goods every time. This is not the Government doing this. This was real estate brokers, banks and wall street.

    As for wars, EVERY WAR since 1919 has been started by a conservative. Look it up. And Every One benefits the Ultra Rich.

    EZ credit, the Clinton Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), FNMA buyin the crap mortgages from the Banks as ordered by Janet Reno, all of this helped to create the Greenspan Bubble.

    The Greenspan Bubble finally popped in 2008 with the collapse of Lehman Brothers. The reckless spending and credit from the Clinton years finally took its toll. You can watch various Youtube videos of Barney Frank defending FNMA and the real estate bubble from various reforms proposed by GW Bush, McCain, and others during the early 2000's.

    As far as the Wars of the 20th Century, they have ALL been started by Ultra Rich DEMOCRATS!!! Look it up yourself.. start with Woodrow Willson, FDR, LBJ, Truman, and Clinton.

    Have not seen it but would like to. If it is accurate it would be very educational to people and give them a better understanding of the forces that hurled him into power. It might make for an appreciation of our democracy and how complacent we are as a society. Good post.
