Anti-Semitism

Today, I finished the book Straight into Darkness by Faye Kellerman. When I started it a couple of days ago, I put it aside and decided not to read it, but after reading a book that came before it (Street Dreams), I decided to give it another try. It was set in Munich, Germany in the 1920’s when Hitler was coming to power.

What is scary is that there are so many parallels to today in the US. The economy in Germany was terrible after WWI. Germany was in debt and tried to print their way out of it. There was hyperinflation – it took a wheelbarrow of German marks to buy an egg.

Whenever there is trouble, we humans always want to assess blame. Hitler was a master at blaming: the Jews, the Communists, the Social Democrats, the Royalists… anyone, but particularly the Jews.

In view of our economy and the devaluation of the dollar, inflation rises and hyperinflation is a very real possibility. The crops we produce will be affected by inflation, floods and tornados and, of course, the use of corn for ethanol. (Speaking of ethanol, my cousin was told today that the reason they couldn’t keep their weed-eater going was probably due to the ethanol in the gas.)

As the dollar deflates and the price of necessary commodities inflates, we may soon see shortages. We may not know be able to afford enough food to stay alive. When people don’t know where they are going to get their next meal, they get testy and scared and want to blame someone. The Obama administration is already playing the blame game: the rich don’t pay their fair share, big oil, etc. What incentive do people have to produce more if they know any gain they get will be taxed unfairly. And, if anyone has been watching Obama, you know he is an anti-Semite. How could he not be and sit in the pew listening to Jeremiah Wright for 20 plus years.

I hope everyone who reads this post will stand with Israel, defend the Jewish population, and speak out against anti-Semitism. I also hope that each of you will store a little extra food (well, actually, a lot of extra food) and other necessities just in case prices get unmanageable or we have food shortages.

And chaos would play right into the hands of socialists and Marxists who think they know how to spend your money better than you do. They would be delighted to have everyone look to the nanny state for sustenance.

Sorry, all, didn’t mean to preach, but I feel so strongly about it.

Until next time…
