Is The Past The Key To The Future?

I have been reading a book called 'The Rise and Fall of The Third Riech', in order to better understand how a mortal man was able to raise himself up to a godlike status and be tolerated by the people, all the while torturing and tormenting a majority of the population. Now while I am only about 63 pages into the text, (63 out of 1200 or so), I have discovered some striking similarities between what was going on in Germany post WWI and pre WWII and what is going on today in the US. I will make it a point to detail my findings and thier implications to our modern society as I continue to read.

I hope that you find this as compelling as I do, in order to maybe, oh..i don't know..., learn from our mistakes while we still can.

Thanks for reading.
