The Disastrous Rise Of Misplaced Power

Before I get to the information that deals directly with the title of this post,  I want to preface what I plan to share with a declaration that I have recently become quite interested in viewing movies from the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's. Yesterday, I watched My Man Godfrey

Storyline
In the depths of the Depression, a party game brings dizzy socialite Irene Bullock to the city dump where she meets Godfrey, a derelict, and ends by hiring him as family butler. He finds the Bullocks to be the epitome of idle rich, and nutty as the proverbial fruitcake. Soon, the dramatizing Irene is in love with her 'protege'...who feels strongly that a romance between servant and employer is out of place, regardless of that servant's mysterious past... Written by Rod Crawford

It was interesting to hear the commentary by the TCM channel. He stated that seeing "the rich" portrayed at ditsy, oftentimes irrational and argumentative with each other, and downright crazy at times appealed to the middle class who frequented the movie theaters back then.


Though there was a lot of hoopla and silliness in the movie, the storyline was quite good. Apparently, the movie was nominated for four Academy Awards in the top categories, but none of the nominees won the award that year.


If you have never seen this movie, you can watch it online. Go to the link above and scroll down a bit to where you will see "Related Videos" and select "full movie."


Without giving away most of the plot, I must say that it was refreshing to see the rich helping the poor, and then a man down on his luck repay the rich man who helped him get back on his feet.


Today, we have a gangster government that is relentless in pitting the poor against the rich. I have NEVER seen the Obamafraud regime EVER give any credit to ANY CHARITABLE GROUP - whether they are rich, poor or anything in between. All I see on a constant basis is the Democrats hating and bashing the Republicans (especially conservative Christians) and lying to promote their terrible Keynesian economic socialist agenda.


Things are quite ugly now, but I don't think that we have seen ANYTHING yet. The 2012 Election is going to be ten times worse. I continue to pray for this country - that the elitist leftists and their media of mass deception cronies - would calm down the rhetoric they spew.  They demonize every group that they are against in order to somehow win the next election. The race card will be played with astounding ignorance and lies - with their hope that the failed economic policies of Obama will somehow not be scrutinized by the voters. But I think it's too late for that anyway. The public is awakened to the mess that Obama has wreaked upon our nation. They will vote accordingly.

The second movie that I want to mention today is called To Be Or Not To Be. I tuned in just after the credits and barely recognized Jack Benny! When I was growing up, he was a much older man. The mini description from the info button on my remote showed me that Benny was one of the lead characters in the film. You can view the movie online at the link above.

Storyline
In occupied Poland during WWII, a troupe of ham stage actors (led by Joseph Tura and his wife Maria) match wits with the Nazis. A spy has information which would be very damaging to the Polish resistance and they must prevent it's being delivered to the Germans. Written by Ken Yousten

It is interesting to note that many movies of that era often involved Hitler and the Nazis. At the website we read:

When Jack Benny's father went to see this movie, he was outraged at the sight of his son in a Nazi uniform in the first scene and even stormed out of the theater. Jack convinced his father that it was satire, and he agreed to sit through all of it.

According to the book 'The United Artists Story' by Ronald Bergan, " Unfortunately, at its release, Pearl Harbor had been attacked, Germany was sweeping across Europe, and the film's star, Carole Lombard, was killed in a plane crash while on a war-bond selling tour. Therefore, neither critics nor public were in the mood to laugh, finding the picture tasteless and callous. Over the years, however, it recovered its production costs and became a classic."

I can see why people would find it tasteless and callous when it was first released because of the real life circumstances happening at the time. But later on, after the victory over Hitler and the Nazis at the end of WWII, it became quite common to mock the Nazis. Remember the T.V. show Hogan's Heroes of the 1960's and 1970's?

Storyline
Colonel Hogan leads a ragtag band of POW's caught behind German lines in this popular television comedy. The bumbling Germans give Hogan and his crew plenty of opportunities to sabotage their war efforts. Colonel Klink is more concerned with having everything run smoothly and avoiding any trouble with his superiors (especially anything that might result in his being reassigned and sent to the front) than with being tough on Hogan and his fellow prisoners. Written by Tad Dibbern

Of course the horrors of the Holocaust is nothing to make light of.  It is an example of THE most disastrous rise of misplaced power!   I don't recall this comedy series dealing with the seriousness of that portion of the war. It was more about making the Nazis look foolish.

Recently, I ran across a posting by a 25 year old young college graduate who was trying to educate the commentators on her Face Book page about the dangers of socialism. Here is the thread (minus last names, "Christine W" is me):

You and 3 others like this..

Jaime B T Ah this is coming from the guy who appeased hitler. Besides he made this quote to denigrate his political rival, and has no factual or poignant substance. I love you my republican friend but don't be afraid of something that isn't scary! Love you!

Friday at 9:03am Amanda M haha ohhhhhh Jaime B T, I just KNEW there would be a comment under my status from you! Something that "isn't scary" is a very big difference of opinion my dear. We have covered our political differences many of times, and I still love you.

Friday at 9:12am Fred B - Jaime, I believe your "appeasement" comment actually refers to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain who appeased Hitler from 1937 to 1939. His policies of avoiding war with Germany have been the subject of intense debate for seventy years among academics, politicians and diplomats. Churchill is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders and served as Prime Minister twice (1940–45 and 1951–55). It was Churchill who lead the British war against Hitler. I trust you will find this info helpful.

Friday at 9:19am Amanda M oh Mike! Before you "like" a comment make sure the information is factual. I think my dear friend, Fred, cleared that up.

Friday at 9:31am Amanda M ‎** still love ya Mike! Our political debates go back to high school :-) along with Mr. Sean Q! haha

Friday at 9:32am Christine W - Amanda! I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good work educating people who ignore the dangers of Socialism and/or shrug their shoulders over that dangerous philosophy. Love, Mamasita

Friday at 10:11am Jaime B T - Oops! Thank you Fred for the correction.

Friday at 10:15am .Sean Q - Keep me out of this Amanda! But good job posting an anti-socialism quote from a conservative politician, must have been hard to find. But I miss you like crazy and better see you when I come home this time. Miss you too Nielio, may be stopping through LA on my way to HI.


Friday at 1:37pm Amanda M - haha i didn't say it was hard to find! I posted it because i LIKE and AGREE with it. duh? Miss you more! and yes, I will definitely see you when ur back :) Rally the troops!

Friday at 1:40pm Christine W - Amanda, so many young people are not aware of what socialism leads to...mainly Communism, misery and death. The naysayers here need to read up on some history.

Unfortunately, many young people from Amanda's generation were not taught that Nazism is short for National Socialism.They also don't know that America IS NOT a democracy. Look at how often democracies around the world fall right back in line with a  socialism/communism type of government due to the tyrannic mindset of leaders who want power? What's more, they will wield such power to accomplish their own agenda. It is NEVER GOOD for the people under such regimes.






I really wonder what they teach in public school history classes and secular colleges these days? Do many people Amanda's age even realize how many failed socialist/communist policies in history led to the misery and death of millions? If they did, I doubt that they would be for the Obamafraud regime trying to resurrect such failed, dangerous, corrupt, and evil policies here in our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC - the United States of America!! Oftentimes, the term "democracy" means something quite different to socialists. It is a means to an end to get to the "New World Order."


The "New World Order" may sound good to our itching ears, but history has shown us that such a philosophical form of one-world global government WON'T WORK. Why? Because absolute power corrupts absolutely! Take a look at some famous people in history who have given us warnings:

Quotes from world leaders who reveal, in their own words, what they have planned for the rest of us. Listen, as they admit, that their goal is a one-world government, which they call the “New World Order“.

“The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds’ central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups.” – Professor Caroll Quigley, of Georgetown University, Mentor of William Jefferson Clinton, in Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World In Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966).
