Where have all of our rights gone?

To whom it may concern,

Where have all of our rights gone? Up in smoke almost everyone. Now, as each day comes and goes by another step is taken towards the total oppression of everyone's civil rights that are guaranteed under the ideas of democracy.

Yet, we can stop what is almost here, if we only look to the past for our lessons and face what is directly in front of us. For, if you look to the dark cold days, when Hitler first came into power. In Hitler’s first election, he was only able to obtain a third of the German Population under his control. Then in a span of 18 month Hitler was able to stir up the hatred and distrust for the communists, socialists, the Jewish and other people who were viewed in Germany at that time as being the less desirables. While this hatred and distrust had overtaken Germany, Hitler was able to grasp a tight hold of the German people by having his people set the German Parliament building on fire. Hitler then blamed the socialists, and communists for this fire, which allowed him to ban these parties from the German federal election. However, once the federal election was carried out, Hitler still did not have over 50%, his party was only able to gain 43.7% of the vote. So to acquire total power, Hitler formed a coalition government with the National Party in Germany, which had 8 % of the vote.

Now, looking at the present day, we are able to see drastic similarities in these dark days of Germany to the present. With only a gigantic burning of a recognized institutions waiting in front of us. Then, once these steps are carried out within the next year, then more restrictive laws far more oppressive than now will be unleashed unto the land and the people of democratic Nations. Some say that there is nothing waiting in the future and soon the world will return to what it was in the eighties and nineties. However, the signs are still in front of people, showing that attacks far worst than what unfold on that horrific day of September 11th 2001 are waiting in the shadows to leap out and once again overtake the land.

I am just a fictional writer, who wrote a novel that showed how the assistant director of the FBI, the former Federal Opposition leader of Canada and people spread throughout the world, had conspired with known world terrorists. My novel was copyrighted April 20th 2001. For, writing this novel and the next two novels in the series, my wife and I have been persecuted, censored and oppressed. So, where is the freedom that was supposed to have existed in a Nation that I once stood on guard for in its military for over eight years?

In closing here is a famous poem that I once heard on a radio:

They came for the trade unionists and I did not stop them because I was not a trade unionists

They came for the socialists and I did not stop them because I was not a socialist

They came for the communist and I did not stop them because I was not a communist

They came for the Jewish people and I did not stop them because I was not Jewish

They came for the Catholics and I did not stop them because I was not catholic

They came for the Christians and I did not stop them because I was not a Christian

They came for me and there was no one left to stop them

From this I learned that we may not all agreed with each other on religion, political policies, or even social issues. Still in a democracy everyone should have a right to express themselves and to allow any group to be focus on is to allow one group of people at a time to be taken out, until at last there is only you. So, remember united we stand, divided we fall.

Thank you for your time
