This essay appeared in The Market Oracle.
The remarkable rapidity of the Union's plunge into darkest thuggery conjures up half understood memories of other totalitarian experiments. In this fascinating report, Mr. Whitney compares Bush's Operation Falcon with Hitler's Night of the Long Knives.
The events unfolding now are stripping away the last thin vener of feigned respect for individual rights from the executive branch of the federal government. The Decider in Chief has orchestrated a state of perpetual crisis, necessitating, he has made exceedingly clear, the elimination of every one of the civil guarantees for which we, as a people, have paid so dearly, and in the sanctity of which, we have invested our entire faith. To him, they are no more than so many impediments to his exercise of total control. Our rights, including presumption of innocence, due process, freedom of speech, protection against arbitrary search and seizure, and all the rest have now been rendered thoroughly contingent.
At last we awake. Is it already too late?

However, after much pressure from Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler, Hitler agreed that Roehm should die.
