American Minute with Bill Federer FEB. 4 - Nazi healthcare, gun confiscation, holocaust, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer martyred


American Minute with Bill Federer
FEB. 4 - Nazi healthcare, gun confiscation, holocaust, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer martyred

The National Socialist Workers' Party leader, Adolph Hitler, became Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933, and began implementing a plan of universal healthcare, with no regard for conscience.

The New York Times reported October 10, 1933:

"Nazi Plan to Kill Incurables to End Pain; German Religious Groups Oppose Move...

The Ministry of Justice...explaining the Nazi aims regarding the German penal code, today announced its intentions to authorize physicians to end the sufferings of the incurable patient...in the interest of true humanity..."



The New York Times continued:

"The Catholic newspaper Germania hastened to observe: 'The Catholic faith binds the conscience of its followers not to accept this method.'...In Lutheran circles, too, life is regarded as something that God alone can take...

Euthanasia...has become a widely discussed word in the Reich...No life still valuable to the State will be wantonly destroyed."



When Germany's economy suffered, expenses had to be cut from the national healthcare plan, such as keeping alive handicapped, insane, chronically ill, elderly and those with dementia.

They were considered "lebensunwertes leben"-life unworthy of life.

Then criminals, convicts, street bums, beggars and gypsies, considered "leeches" on society, met a similar fate.



Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger had been the editor of the Birth Control Review, a magazine that published in April 1933 an article by Ernst Rudin, one of the 'fathers of racial hygiene.'

Ernst Rudin advised the Nazi Socialist Workers Party to prevent hereditary defectives genes from being passed on to future generations by people considered by the State to be inferior mankind - 'untermensch'.



Labeling the Aryan race 'ubermensch' (super mankind), the National Socialist Workers Party enacted horrific plans to purge the human gene pool of what they considered 'inferior' races, resulting in 6 million Jews and millions of others dying in gas chambers and ovens.



U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop stated in 1977:

"When the first 273,000 German aged, infirm and retarded were killed in gas chambers there was no outcry from that medical profession... and it was not far from there to Auschwitz."



British Journalist Malcolm Muggeridge explained:

"We have...for those that have eyes to see, an object lesson in what the quest for 'quality of life' without reference to 'sanctity of life' can involve...

The origins of the Holocaust lay, not in Nazi terrorism...but in...Germany's acceptance of euthanasia and mercy-killing as humane and estimable."



In 1933, the German Reichstag (Capitol Building) was set on fire under suspicious conditions, creating a crisis which Hitler used to suspend basic rights, arrest his political opponents and have them shot without a trial.

Hitler forced old military leaders to retire. He swayed the public with mesmerizing speeches.



An SA Oberführer warned of an ordinance by the provisional Bavarian Minister of the Interior:

"The deadline set...for the surrender of weapons will expire on March 31, 1933. I therefore request the immediate surrender of all arms...

Whoever does not belong to one of these named units (SA, SS, and Stahlhelm) and...keeps his weapon without authorization or even hides it, must be viewed as an enemy of the national government and will be held responsible without hesitation and with the utmost severity."



Heinrich Himmler, head of Nazi S.S. ("Schutzstaffel"-Protection Squadron), stated:

"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the S.S. or the S.A. Ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State."

When a suspected homosexual youth shot a Nazi diplomat in Paris, it was used as an excuse to confiscate all firearms from Jews.



German newspapers printed, November 10, 1938:

"Jews Forbidden to Possess Weapons By Order of SS Reichsführer Himmler, Munich...



'Persons who, according to the Nürnberg law, are regarded as Jews, are forbidden to possess any weapon. Violators will be condemned to a concentration camp and imprisoned for a period of up to 20 years.'"



The New York Times, November 9, 1938, reported:

"The Berlin Police...announced that...the entire Jewish population of Berlin had been 'disarmed' with the confiscation of 2,569 hand weapons, 1,702 firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. Any Jews still found in possession of weapons without valid licenses are threatened with the severest punishment."



Earlier in his political career, Hitler pretended to be a Christian in order to get elected, but once in power he revealed his nazified social Darwinism beliefs and became openly hostile toward Christianity.



Of the Waffengesetz (Nazi Weapons Law), March 18, 1938, Hitler stated at a dinner talk, April 11, 1942 (Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, 2nd Edition, 1973, p. 425-6, translated by Norman Cameron and R. H. Stevens):

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing...

So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order."


Franklin D. Roosevelt stated of Hitler, December 15, 1941:

"Government to him is not the servant...of the people but their absolute master and the dictator of their every act...

The rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which seemed to the Founders of the Republic inalienable, were, to Hitler and his fellows, empty words..."

Get the book, The Faith of FDR-From President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Public Papers 1933-45



FDR continued:

"Hitler advanced: That the individual human being has no rights whatsoever in himself...no right to a soul of his own, or a mind of his own, or a tongue of his own, or a trade of his own; or even to live where he pleases or to marry the woman he loves;

That his only duty is the duty of obedience, not to his God, not to his conscience, but to Adolf Hitler...

His only value is his value, not as a man, but as a unit of the Nazi state... To Hitler, the church...is a monstrosity to be destroyed by every means."

FDR stated in his State of the Union Address, January 6, 1942:

"The world is too small...for both Hitler and God...Nazis have now announced their plan for enforcing their...pagan religion all over the world...by which the Holy Bible and the Cross of Mercy would be displaced by Mein Kampf and the swastika."



Some Church leaders resisted Hitler, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born FEBRUARY 4, 1906.



He studied in New York in 1930, where he met Frank Fisher, an African-American seminarian who introduced him to Harlem's Abyssinian Baptist Church.



He was inspired by African-American spirituals and the preaching of Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., who helped Bonhoeffer turn "from phraseology to reality," motivating him to stand up against injustice.



Bonhoeffer helped found the Confessing Church in Germany, which refused to be intimidated by Hitler into silence.

In his book, The Cost of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer rebuked nominal Christians:

"Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline. Communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ."



Bonhoeffer stated in a 1932 sermon:

"The blood of martyrs might once again be demanded, but this blood, if we really have the courage and loyalty to shed it, will not be innocent, shining like that of the first witnesses for the faith. On our blood lies heavy guilt, the guilt of the unprofitable servant."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned Germans not to slip into the cult of Führer (leader) worship, as he could turn out to be a Verführer (mis-leader, seducer).

America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations

Jimmy Carter wrote in his book Sources of Strength, 1997:

"Rev. Niebuhr urged Dietrich Bonhoeffer to remain in America for his own safety. Bonhoeffer refused. He felt he had to be among the other Christians persecuted in Germany.

So he returned home, and...in resistance to Hitler...preached publicly against Nazism, racism, and anti-semitism...

Bonhoeffer was finally arrested and imprisoned..."



Jimmy Carter continued:

"Dietrich Bonhoeffer died April 9, 1945, just a fe days before the allied armies liberated Germany. He was executed on orders of Heinrich Himmler. He died a disciple and a martyr..."

Jimmy Carter concluded:

"The same Holy Spirit...that gave Bonhoeffer the strength to stand up against Nazi tyranny is available to us today."



Dietrich Bonhoeffer challenged:

"To endure the cross is not tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ"

On February 16, 2002, Dr. James Dobson told the National Religious Broadcasters:

"Those of you who feel that the church has no responsibility in the cultural area...



What if it were 1943 and you were in Nazi Germany and you knew what Hitler was doing to the Jews... Would you say, 'We're not political-that's somebody else's problem'?"

Dobson concluded:

"I thank God Dietrich Bonhoeffer did not give that answer, and he was arrested by the Nazis and hanged in 1945, naked and alone because he said, 'This is not right.'"

The Cover Oregon, Cover-Up

Team Block

In 2011 Governor John Kitzhaber’s chief health care advisors promised the Oregon Legislature that if a $48 million federal grant were approved to develop the state’s own health insurance exchange, the money would be carefully spent to benefit Oregon citizens. The Legislature agreed after requiring multiple oversight provisions and Oregon’s health insurance exchange project (later renamed “Cover Oregon”), was born.
Today, three years later, the status of Cover Oregon tells a grim tale--the promises were broken, nearly $200 million has disappeared and the Governor was distant and uninterested. In short, Cover Oregon is an abject failure. KATU investigative reporter Hillary Lake has exposed elements of the situation in the following news interview (Click here.)
Cover Oregon has been a pointless waste of taxpayer money, costing thousands of Oregonians their health insurance.
Cover Oregon spent a million dollars on a Quality Assurance team (Maximus), which raised the alarm with the Governor's Office every month for more than a year. Regrettably for Oregon, the Governor never acted on the reports and the entire Executive Branch ignored the Quality Assurance Team warnings.

KATUKitzhaberJan2014
So what can be done now?  Instead of admitting that his own gross lack of oversight wasted $200 million of our money and caused this tragedy, the Governor has called for a $228,000 study. This new study is allegedly to determine the cause of the Cover Oregon failure.  In reality, it is an effort to save face at taxpayer expense and it is unlikely that a firm hired by the Governor will give an unbiased result.  Conveniently, this contractor is not required to disclose the results of its investigation to the legislature or to you, the public.  
Enough Is Enough. We cannot expect an objective accounting for nearly $200 million “rat-holed” on this failed project. Where did the money go?  Why did the Governor choose to ignore the Quality Assurance Team’s warnings? How much more is the Governor willing to spend to resuscitate this dead horse?
It’s time for answers to these and other important questions relating to Cover Oregon by demanding a federal audit of the entire Cover Oregon project. 
Cover Oregon needs a federal General Accountability Office (GAO) audit. If you agree, join me and other Oregon legislators by adding your name to a GAO Audit Request Petition.  (Click here.)
We must get to the bottom of the Cover Oregon Cover-Up. If there has been fraud, waste, embezzlement or abuse of public trust, those responsible must be held accountable.  We must impose safeguards to prevent a repeat performance of this mess.  We must ensure all Oregonians have affordable, quality, patient-doctor driven health care. We must restore open, honest and accountable state government.  Please join me in petitioning Oregon’s federal elected officials to request a GAO Audit of Cover Oregon without delay.  To add your name to a GAO Audit Request Petition click here.
 Sincerely,
Representative Dennis Richardson Signature

Liberty Quotes - John Adams, Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi, Walter Williams

"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as
sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and
public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence."

"Hypocrisy is anything whatever may deceive the cleverest and most
penetrating man, but the least wide-awake of children recognizes it,
and is revolted by it, however ingeniously it may be disguised."

"The bottom line is that we've become a nation of thieves, a value rejected by our founders. James Madison, the father of our Constitution, was horrified when Congress appropriated $15,000 to help French refugees. He said, 'I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.' Tragically, today's Americans would run Madison out of town on a rail."

American Minute with Bill Federer FEB. 1 - 'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord' - Julia Ward Howe


American Minute with Bill Federer
FEB. 1 - 'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord' - Julia Ward Howe

Five dollars was all she was paid by the Atlantic Monthly Magazine for her poem, 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic', published FEBRUARY 1, 1862.

It became Lincoln's favorite song and the Union's theme song.



Julia Ward Howe was the daughter of a Wall Street banker and wife of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe who ran a school for the blind in Boston, which grew into the famous Perkins Institute.



Julia and her husband entertained John Brown in their home and published the anti-slavery journal Commonwealth.

In 1861, Julia traveled to Washington, D.C., and saw the city teeming with military, horses galloping all around and innumerable campfires burning.



Julia Ward Howe wrote:

"I went to bed that night as usual, and slept, according to my wont, quite soundly. I awoke in the gray of the morning twilight;

and as I lay waiting for the dawn, the long lines of the desired poem began to twine themselves in my mind.

Having thought out all the stanzas, I said to myself, 'I must get up and write these verses down, lest I fall asleep again and forget them.'

So, with a sudden effort, I sprang out of bed, and found in the dimness an old stump of a pen which I remembered to have used the day before. I scrawled the verses almost without looking at the paper."

"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He has loosed the fateful lighting of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
'As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea;
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on."

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

So profound was Julia Ward Howe's influence, that Theodore Roosevelt dedicated his book to her, Fear God and Take Your Own Part (NY: G.H. Doran Co., 1916, p. v.): 



"This book is dedicated to the memory of Julia Ward Howe: because in the vital matters fundamentally affecting the life of the Republic, she was as good a citizen of the Republic as Washington and Lincoln themselves.

She was in the highest sense a good wife and a good mother...At the same time she fulfilled her full duty to the commonwealth...

She preached that stern and lofty courage of soul which shrinks neither from war nor...suffering and hardship and danger...

She embodies that trait more essential than any other in the make-up of the men and women of this Republic - the valor of righteousness."



Recent research reveals that there is more slavery and human trafficking today than at any time in history.

This includes generational indebtedness in South Asia; North Korean forced labor camps; exploited labor for mining and agriculture in Africa and South America; illicit drug trade; Sharia Islamic forced marriages; and sex-slavery in cities across the world, including the United States, of which Super Bowl weekend is unfortunately a big venue.



An estimated 180 million Africans and over a million Europeans were enslaved in the 1,400 years of Islamic expansion.



In Fear God and Take Your Own Part, 1916, Theodore Roosevelt wrote his address to the American Sociological Congress:



"The civilization of Europe, America and Australia exists today...only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization...

stretching through the centuries from Charles Martel in the 8th century and those of John Sobieski in the 17th century..."



Theodore Roosevelt continued:

"During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish king, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors;

and in consequence Christianity practically vanished from the two continents;

and today nobody can find in them any 'social values' whatever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influences are concerned..."



Theodore Roosevelt concluded:

"There are such 'social values' today in Europe, America and Australia only because...the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do

- that is, to beat back the Moslem invader.

If Europe...had not been able to defend itself...there would have been no 'social values'...and no sociologists to discuss them."
