As Athen's Woes Grow

Those who don't know history are bound to repeat it. 

Sadly, since most of us have no clue about history we are in the process of repeating it.

Remember, when things collapse and order disappears...the majority of us will HAPPILY elect a leader who promises to restore order...so at least we can sleep at night....even if he is a Nazi OR even if he is the Antichrist.

If you want a glimmer of what is coming for Atlanta, Oakland, St. Paul or a city near you....check out what is happening in Athens today.

ATHENS—After two years of government cutbacks brought on by Greece's debt crisis, the signs of social decay are everywhere in Athens and the mood in the capital is despondent.

Downtown Athens today is a shadow of its former self. Its streets, formerly once lined with crowded elegant stores and vibrant cafés, are now scarred by shuttered shopfronts, crime, homelessness and periodic rioting.

Businesses are closing at a record pace, and unemployment in the greater Athens area has soared to more than 23%, above the national average. Regular demonstrations have frightened away tourists, and thousands of the city's hotels and retailers are teetering on the verge of bankruptcy.

"I'm no fascist, but this time I'll vote for Golden Dawn just to shake up the dirty political system," said Kostas Kalatzakos, owner of a small store in Athens. "Robbers have broken into my shop three times in the past two years, and the last time around the police sounded annoyed when I called them to come and investigate. Of course nobody is ever caught."

With such newfound supporters, Golden Dawn, using neo-Nazi rhetoric and a logo of an ancient symbol resembling the swastika, is poised to enter Parliament for the first time. Recent public-opinion pPolls show support for Golden Dawn, hovering between 5% and 6%, well above the 3% minimum threshold needed to enter Parliament and potentially securing them as many as 15 seats in Greece's 300-member legislature.

So there you have it...as the unrest grows, people will gladly accept Nazis if it means they can feel safe.  And of course no one wants to look in the mirror and realize that THEY brought bankruptcy on themselves so they will gladly listen to someone who is casting blame on someone else.

Adolf Hitler did the exact same thing...and he ended up taking out 1/3 of the world's Jews in the process.

The Bible tells us that the Antichrist will take out 2/3 of the world's Jews...and a lot of other gentiles too.

How will we stand people?  Have we reconciled ourselves to make decisions today about what we will do when we face difficult choices if we witness this whole society collapse?  Would we elect the Nazi party if they blamed all our problems on the Mexicans and blacks and promised us a new glorious future as we return to "family values?"
