    If anything, it illustrates the apathy under which the Nazis gradually took hold of the German population. We’ve learned absolutely nothing from that time.

      The following are quotes from the Guy Ritchie film “Revolver” see if any of this sounds like the last 12 years in America…

      “IN EVERY GAME AND CON THERE IS ALWAYS AN OPPONENT AND THERE IS ALWAYS A VICTIM.”

      “RULE #1: “IF YOU WANT TO GET SMARTER, PLAY A SMARTER OPPONENT.”
      
      RULE #2: “THE MORE SOPHISTICATED THE GAME, THE MORE SOPHISTICATED THE OPPONENT.”
      
      “THE BIGGER THE ENVIRONMENT, THE EASIER THE CONTROL.”
      
      “THE OPPONENT SIMPLY DISTRACTS THEIR VICTIM BY GETTING THEM CONSUMED WITH THIER OWN CONSUMPTION.”
      
      “THE BIGER THE TRICK, THE OLDER THE TRICK, THE EASIER IT IS TO PULL.”
      
      “YOU BELIEVE IT CAN’T BE THAT OLD, AND IT CAN’T BE THAT BIG FOR SO MANY PEOPLE TO HAVE FALLEN FOR IT.”
      
      “EVENTUALLY WHEN THE OPPONENT IS CHALLENGED OR QUESTIONED, IT MEANS THE VICTIM’S INVESTMENT AND THUS, HIS INTELLIGENCE IS QUESTIONED. NOONE CAN ACCEPT THAT, NOT EVEN TO THEMSELVES.”
      
      “YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND A GOOD OPPONENT IN THE VERY LAST PLACE YOU WOULD EVER LOOK.”
