History Repeats Itself. It reflects in most parts of the world.
Technology in Newspapers and Magazines, Radio and Television, Computer and Internet have made communication and spread of news around the world a daily routine.
Today we hear of earthquakes, bombings, derailed
trains, crash landed planes and horrific crimes in distant places thousands of miles away from us.
And therefore we are able to observe and compare history to our times and place.
An unknown non-entity, uneducated and therefore unpolished in speech and deed, through devious and deceitful
means becomes the leader of a group of cut-throats.
Also known as the ”Bully of the Beer Hall”.
The times were depressive nationally and racially. Therefore people were inclined to listen to challenging rhetoric even of a deranged mad-man.
Thus Adolf Hitler rose to power and brought down a pure and proud nation with himself.
A comparative study of Hitler with many of the despots around the world would show all tyrants are of similar minds and achieve similar end results after the mayhem of their creation.
Hitler did not trust or respect anyone but himself.
2 … Sweeping victories are of ”Beginner’s Luck”
3 … Bloated Ego turns to inevitable arrogance.
4 … Does not entertain opinions of others and refuses to pay heed to advices of experienced people.
5 .. Not honoured by leaders of men as he respects none and in speech equals a street thug.
6 … Respects no traditions, conventions or laws and therefore could kill and maim in schools, hospitals and among his own people too.
7 … Although the daily mantra of ”my people” ”எம் மக்கள்” is recited nothing is done unless and otherwise something derives to his own party.
8 … Selecting sub-standard persons to lead groups of people.
9 … Recruiting children to fight his war.
10 And forcing the elderly and the invalid to take up arms.
11 Subordinates learnt in quick time to please him with good news and sweep all bitter events beneath the carpet.
12 And he believed that everything was under control while whole sections of community and society were seething with anger and frustration.
A close look would lead you to the inevitable conclusion unless one is blind.
