America, 2018, Or Germany, 1933?

America, 2018, Or Germany, 1933?

A Story by Michael Stevens
"

warning

"



CNN reporter Jim Acosta was interrupted and told to 


leave by a White House Aide when he tried to ask a 


Russia investigation question, and the crowd started 


yelling “you're a liar!” at him, and I got chills down 


my spine. This is the more like a scene from Nazi 


Germany when Hitler came to power. Mob mentality 


gone wild. A clamp down of THE staple that sets us 


apart, or used to, from a dictatorship, a free press. 


What has happened to the country I used to know? It 


started with chants of “Lock her up!” at rally's, now 


this. Automatons parroting what their leaders say, 


with no desire to find out the truth. Mindless 


zombies in a trance, unhinged from reality, doing 


their masters bidding.




If you'd have told me it would be like this in 


America, I'd have laughed in your face, but now 


days, up is down, black is white, and truth is what 


Donald J. Trump tells us it is. America meets The 


Twilight Zone. I can hear Rod Serling saying, “It 


looks like the old America, but take a closer look. 


These citizens carrying torches though the dark of 


night are looking for a monster, a monster called 


Truth, to burn at the stake, then, once they've 


destroyed it, in mindless celebration they'll dance, 


somewhere in The Twilight Zone.”
