Within a month of the nation being attacked by terrorists, legislation that combated terrorism by suspending constitutional guarantees of free speech was championed by a popular leader. It was called the “Decree on the Protection of People and State,” and it passed despite the objections of concerned legislators and civil libertarians.
A new national agency was formed within a year that coordinated police and federal security. It consolidated unprecedented power under one leader. No, this is not President Bush’s newly won Department of Homeland Security—it was Hitler’s Office of Fatherland Security, the Reichssicherheitshauptamt and Schutzstaffel, better known simply as the SS.

Spot on.
The parallels are there in so many ways. People need to learn from history and realize that secret police never turn out as a good thing. Look at SS, look at KGB, look at Stasi. Same stuff different day.

Now homeland security has made it their priority to shut down websites for copyright infringement. It just goes to show you that they were really set up as a security arm to protect the interests of corporations. Nothing else. Not you or me... Besides I don't want their protection. That's what guns are for.

Yet in nine years Congress has not once met to discuss the State of Emergency declared by George W. Bush in response to 9/11, a State of Emergency that remains in effect today. Appeals to the Congress to meet its responsibilities to review COG have fallen on deaf ears, even now that the Congress is dominated by Democrats.[49]

We have no Constitutional government anymore. It's just a show so that the people stay in their slumber and won't realize that their country has been stolen. This is why our votes and opinions no longer matter. The Republic is dead and the United States is nothing more than a cog in the wheel of the New World Order.
