A BOOK ABOUT MY STRUGGLES

I was born in one country, raised in another.

My father was born in another country.

I was not his only child.

He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.

My mother died at an early age from cancer.

Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father, not my mother.

Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy.

No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.

That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.

It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics in my 30s. Then, with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s.

They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.

I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history and no experience in leading a single organization.

Yet I was a powerful speaker, and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.

I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.

This bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy . . .

I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy.

I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.

I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.

It was the free market, banks and corporations.

I decided to start making citizens hate them; and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

I called mine "A People's Campaign.”

That sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could change our country and the world.

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities."

My true views were not widely known, and I kept them unknown until after I became my nation's leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. I'm glad they didn't.

Then I became the most powerful man in the world.

And then the world learned the truth.

Who am I?















Answer: ADOLPH HITLER







If you were thinking of SOMEONE ELSE: be afraid! Be very Afraid! Those who don't learn from the past are destined to repeat it.

  1. Yeah, but....there are significant differences. Hitler did receive the Iron Cross, 1st class, seldom awarded to enlisted men at the time. Just saying..

  2. at least he did do a few positive things. He made the trains run on time and almost single handedly eliminated mental illness in Germany. He also accommplished great strides in the medical sinces. He fostered an invironment that made great strides in all the physical sciences. He did on fajor flub though. He picked on the wrong people. If he had picked the muslems we would be singing his praises instead of reviling the legacy he left us. Such a small mistake can mean everything.

  3. To Anonymous (above):

    Can I borrow your head for my rock garden?! Pardon my French, but calling you an effing idiot would be an insult to all idiots everywhere.

    OK let's take it by the numbers: 1) It wasn't Hitler who made the trains run on time it was Mussolini, idiot. 2) Hitler's 3d Reich accomplishments in medicine were the result of crimes against humanity, using concentration camp inmates and prisoners of war as human guinea pigs. 3) The 3d Reich was an authoritarian society, an oppressive environment that ran out the greatest scientific thinkers of the day - how do you think we ended up with Einstein? 4) You're right he did pick on the wrong people: the Jews (look at what happened to every tyrant who ever picked on God's Chosen people), the Poles, British and the French, the Russians, and later the Americans. Look where all that got him: suicide the only way out for himself and his wife/mistress, Germany was reduced to rubble, her soldiers lay dead on battlefields across two and a half continents, the country split in two and occupied.

    Hitler did nothing positive for Germany or the world. He was a criminal and has the blood of millions on his hands. Anyone who admires Hitler or anything he was involved in is an idiot or worse a loon.

  5. Dude, I am SO stealing this and posting it on my blog. For the past two years I have been saying that this country resembles Germany in 1932-33 or Spain in 1935-1936. Just check out the movie Cabaret and look at the similarities.

    We just keep repeating history.
