When Adolph Hitler assumed power in Germany in 1933, racial segregation in America was enforced through laws or lynch mobs. Anti-Semitism and laws restricting immigration reinforced the perception among most Americans that the ideal American was “white” and “Protestant.”

This social order had its roots in a widely accepted theory in place at the time in Germany (as well as other parts of Europe) called “eugenics science.”

This theory holds that certain human traits are inherited making one race of people superior to all others.

One of our so-called Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, was a subscriber to the eugenics theory.

Of course, proponents of eugenics always come to the conclusion that the Caucasian race (“white folks”) is the racially superior race—that white people are far more emotionally, physically and intellectually developed as a human species than those species of “other folks.”

Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi) rose to power with insurrectionist attacks on democratic institutions espousing one basic political agenda—that the Fuhrer could create a pure-white Aryan Race through eugenics that would rule the world with absolute power and death.

In what began under today’s “war” language as “territorial disputes,” German military forces killed roughly 11 million people that Nazi ideology deemed “unworthy of life”—Jews, homosexuals, Slavs and Jehovah’s Witnesses—in an effort to establish that eugenics-inspired Aryan race.

Millions of Americans prior to Hitler’s territorial disputes in Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland in 1938-39 supported the Nazi ideology of racial superiority.

Even after America joined the worldwide territorial dispute in December 1941, millions of Americans still continued to believe in the eugenics nonsense and the slaughter of untold millions it was producing.

Hitler died in 1945 by a bullet to his head fired by his own hand or a bullet fired from a Russian rifle up his ass. Take your choice.

Yet two decades after what was truly WWII, an American demagogue named George Wallace was espousing the same Nazi-based white racial superiority before crowds of adoring, cheering white folks.

This demagogue pulled in nearly 10 million votes in the 1968 presidential election—or more than 13 percent of the total votes cast.

That means Wallace would draw roughly 42 million votes in a presidential election today.

These are still eugenics people in this country today that want to smash the nation’s democratic institutions through insurrection; and who subject racial minorities, non-Christian religious worshippers (Jews and Muslims primarily), all forms of LBGTQ people, and immigrants of every stripe to social isolation, physical hate attacks, and prejudice in all shapes and sizes.

And they have discovered a new Nazi-like leader to hail as their savior—the recently indicted war criminal, Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Like Hitler did with his European territorial disputes, Putin believes he has a right to embark upon territorial disputes with all former Eastern Soviet-Bloc European nations to bring them back into Russia’s “Motherland.”

And in order to accomplish these disputed territorial annexations, Putin orders, encourages, and/or allows his military forces—much like Stalin and Hitler did in WWII—to rape four-year-old daughters in front of their fathers and wives in front of their husbands; to knowingly target civilian schools, hospitals, places of worship, and high-rise apartment complexes in order to kill as many non-combatants as possible; to put tens of thousands of “convicts” on the front lines as human fodder in an effort to deplete Ukrainian military resources; and to murder any friend or foe who dares to criticize the Ukrainian “territorial dispute.”

It is sad to see so many George Wallace descendants increasingly coming out of the American political woodwork to either support or acquiesce to Putin’s Ukrainian “territorial dispute” effort.

History truly repeats itself.
