A British historian spent 30 years interviewing former Nazis to answer one question: How did this happen?
Laurence Rees’ 2025 book “The Nazi Mind: Twelve Warnings from History” list twelve warning signs. I read it and worked the evidence the way I work a case file after 40 years in the courtroom, and every single one of the twelve is here in America right now. I share my thoughts in the video.
Conspiracy theories drive government policy. Opponents get called vermin and the enemy within, then troops get sent to American cities. Lawmakers who reminded soldiers of their oath were told that is punishable by death, while an adviser compared the President to Jesus. Young minds get shaped by social media while the Education Department’s civil rights division gets gutted. January 6 defendants were pardoned on day one and the Defense Secretary said no quarter, no mercy, which is a war crime. Elites think they can control him, the same bet German business leaders made and lost. Journalists faced 170 assaults in 2025 alone. Thousands of federal workers and 17 inspectors general were fired. A judge found probable cause for contempt after 200 Venezuelans were deported anyway. ICE custody deaths hit a 20-year high. And more than 2,000 Iranians have been killed, including 170 children in one strike on a girls school.
Rees ends his book with four words: the Nazis were defeated. Fascism only wins when good people stay quiet. Watch this, share it, and vote like your democracy depends on it, because it does.
