March 23, 1933 Germany passed and signed into law Ermächtigungsgesetz, also known as the enabling act; basically ceding absolute power to Hitler and his stooges under certain circumstances. Getting it passed was the nazi crowning achievement that paved the way for their future plans for germany. This legislation was the backbone that the nazis loosely used to quasi legally justify turning germany into a dictatorship, abolishing the german presidency and establishing der fuhrer after the "night of the long knives". 77 deaths was the official number killed at the time for treason and nonsense, although the actual number was much higher.
We're all aware of the countless Executive "Orders" signed into 'law' recently and the implications of such, as well as the billions of rounds of ammunition aquired by every federal agency including the post office, government seizure of private assets on a whim etc. etc.
Obama signed The Affordable Care Act 77 years to the day that Ermächtigungsgesetz was signed into german law. Strange coincidence, or a warning?
