+1 for the Crashr. This is a classic case of the bad intertwining with the good and fooling everyone. The connection to Hitler is two-fold, since he did this early on with the SA, whose original mission was to set up field kitchens for hungry Germans. I’ve not read the book, but I believe Hitler devoted the better part of a chapter on this type of political masquerade in “Mein Kampf”.
Hitler also conveniently ignored the fact that the Muslims he solicited, such as the “Grand Mufti”, were Semites like the Jews. I’ve always wondered why this fact never makes it out of the corners of history whenever a reprise of Hitler is done.
There must have been SOME thinkers at the time who saw this huge disconnect.
This is the result of forming a police state with dictatorial powers. It will not last 30 years here, but as it is gaining steam each and every day, but is this more than a Egyptian revolution? A little ditty the U.S. main stream media is as of yet not covering is the protests in India against government corruption, and the thing all of these nations have in common is that they are fed up with a government that ours is working feverishly to duplicate. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110130/wl_sthasia_afp/indiapoliticscorruptionprotest

Or goose-step like the Muslim Brotherhood – they are the grandfather of Hezbollah, Hamas, and al-Qaeda and were only a small, unpopular group of anti-modern fanatics who were unable to attract members, until they were adopted by Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich beginning in the 1930s.

Doubt that anyone will miss the current ruling party as much as they missed Anastasia.
Same revolution, different time and place.

Don’t forget this news flash from telegraph UK. Interesting article as they plant the U.N. leader in Egypt, the question is will the Egyptians allow the U.S. to select their leader?
