The day after the fire, Hitler asked for and received from President Hindenburg the Reichstag Fire Decree, signed into law by Hindenburg using Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. The Reichstag Fire Decree suspended most civil liberties in Germany and was used by the Nazis to ban publications not considered "friendly" to the Nazi cause.


What will be our Reichstag Fire?

Superbug (whether it was gov't created or not), Another 9/11, Mexican gangs, etc...

The White House has been burning the midnight oil. I hear it will be out before the national curfew is imposed.

Read up on history. The Nazi cause was patriotism, serving the fatherland, going after traitors, hounding intellectuals, forming the Gestapo to spy on citizens, designating certain racial and ethnic groups as corrupt, inferior, and therefore a danger to the ideal Aryan family.
Are you kidding?

When I say Reichstag Fire, I am not referring to the same party that exterminates Jews. This new "Nazi" party could humiliate, deport, or incarcerate opposition members. I am speaking of the Nazi party before 1938, when they weren't making a science of turning Jews and Gypsies into lampshades and soap.

Hitler and Nazi Germany are all dead. Really.
There are no more Richstag fires. Today we live in a different reality. Hopefully extremists who see Hitler, Stalin and Satan in every corner can be controlled and our civilization, as imperfect as is, will prevail.

The irony is that there will ALWAYS be another Reichstag fire so long as we as a society dismiss the opportunity for one.

Take out danger to the ideal Aryan family and replace it with danger to the left-wing liberal family and it fits like a glove.

Are you sure you know what you're asking? The title of the thread is about the Reichstag fire, that event occurred in January, 1933 - five years before 1938. Do you think there was a difference in the Nazi party before and after 1938?
Lampshades and soap? The dead were burned. What the Nazis collected were gold teeth, hair, eye-glasses. Where do you get your history lessons?
