"On April 26, 1933, the interior minister for the German state of Prussia issued a decree creating a new secret state police, or Geheime Staats Polizei, abbreviated: Gestapo.

It operated by collecting tips from ordinary citizens, including even school children. And this network of Gestapo informants changed Germans’ behavior almost overnight. Even a joke about the ruling party could land you in a Gestapo interrogation room.

Talking politics around your children became a dangerous gamble. According to Erik Larson’s book In the Garden of Beasts, 37% of denunciations “arose not from heartfelt political beliefs, but from private conflicts with the trigger often breathtakingly trivial.”

The new Chancellor— who encouraged the behavior — was so shocked by the citizens’ eagerness to rat out their neighbors that he remarked, “We are living at present in a sea of denunciations and human meanness.” That Chancellor, of course, was Adolf Hitler.

The secret police didn’t need wire taps in every home or spies on every street corner. They found an army of willing, eager informants in the general population.

The volume of denunciations was so great, in fact, that the Gestapo actually had to ask people to stop reporting political crimes to them, because they were overwhelmed and found it impossible to process them all.

The similarity, however, is how quickly things changed. In Nazi Germany, just as now in America, the entire culture changed literally within a few months."

And now we know why the fisa courts exist. They just haven't been utilized or funded beyond political candidates, as of yet

And on that note, wait for the videos of my chamber session. I guarantee it it will be spectacle to be held, and used to futher training sessions on how agents are to wear hearing protection so as not to be influenced by "backward thinking" and influential thought processes, as well as the psychological toll on the human mind as to how far a human being will go to dehumanize and demoralize his interrogators. I swear I will make sure they wipe my freshly shat ass and be made to mop up my piss, and clean the spit and blood off their faces, even if I have to bite the tip of my own tongue off to achieve the desired result. It will be glorious. Lol
