The shadow of fascism and tyranny in Europe has begun to rise again in this BBC report.


In Greece, the rise of ultra right wing conservatives with uniformed
gang members policing streets has begun. They use intimidation, violence
and fear against the minorities of their population and are gaining
power and are spreading into the police and government forces. They
currently hold 12% of the Greek Parliament, the Nazis had 18% at their
start.

The Greek Prime Minister himself has compared his nation to that of Germany on the eve of Hitlers rise.


Any descendant of the veterans, victims and survivors of World War 2
should pay close attention to this story. In it I have heard the echoes
of the Kristallnacht, the SS and SA, the night of the long knives, the
election of 1933, the Nurnberg rallies and the rise of Adolf Hitler and
the architects of the holocaust.

I know this is is not jolly
good to watch, but people should be aware that the path to the darkest
acts of human history is now being tread upon again.
