"First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me." - Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

Throughout my youth I remember wondering how what happened in Nazi Germany could have occurred and how so many otherwise good people could be fooled into going along with such an obviously evil system.  I always wished I could go back in time to understand it.

Well, my wish has come true but unfortunately instead of going back in time the exact same thing is happening today in the US, Europe and many other places.  If you cannot see the obvious signs of tyranny being constructed all around you at this point then you are purposely trying not to see it.
