Clay Higgins has a message for America -- from Auschwitz

Just in time for Independence Day, U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-Port Barre, has a video message for America. But instead of visiting constituent cookouts, shooting off fireworks and waving the United States flag, Higgins delivers a stark dispatch from the Nazis' Auschwitz concentration camp at Oswiecim, Poland.

Mr. Higgins, I've been watching your presentations for a few months now and I must say, you are among the best of men on this planet I believe. I am proud that you are one of our senators who make sense and your meticulous way of explaining things is beyond reproach. I love hearing you speak and bringing logic to arguments. I have a few years on you, but you make me look like a kid out of high school with your wisdom and comments. God bless you and your family sir and do keep up the good fight. THank you for your service and your tenure in this government.

[@shanek.bernard8027]

Yes, while the Nazi party began as a socialist workers' party (hence the name National Socialist German Workers' Party), Hitler purged the party of its leftists after joining it and took the group to the hard right. Hence, the name "National Socialist" became precisely that, a name, a vestigial remnant, and nothing else. In short, Hitler and the Nazis embraced a far right-wing ideology, even while retaining the original leftist name of their party. For more information, see Ian Kershaw, "Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris" (W. W. Norton & Company, 1998), or any number of a multitude of other reputable Hitler biographies.

True, but what about Palestine? Not the bad minority of those who wreak havoc, but the rest of the good citizens who hope for a better free future? Israel is not what we as Americans believe it to be. Gaza and West Bank is the world's largest human refugee camps. Truth can begin with the truth. Respect to Mr Higgins.

[@meero3479]

I fully respect this brave, honourable man, an example to all men. He is not alone in his submission to zionist israel. They have deep roots in US law enforcement, and control the narrative in American politics/media/military/legal systems. I hope he, like millions of Americans, frees themselves from the control of tel-aviv.

What if someone with a video camera minced around the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington Cemetery during the changing of the guard, or around the Cenotaph in London, talking in full voice about whatever axe he had to grind, about which he was completely ignorant, encouraging more of the violence that made those memorials necessary?
