The Real News Hour(Classic 1996) The Illusion Of Freedom [YOwbTMg7ccA]

Illusion of Freedom, Nazi Germany, Communist Soviet Union

Jeff Davis and Alex Jones discuss the concept of the illusion of freedom, beginning with a reading of the poem "First They Came" regarding the Holocaust. They compare modern American law enforcement practices, such as driver's license and registration checks, to the "papers please" requirements of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The discussion posits that American citizens are increasingly treated like criminals through spot checks and regulatory hurdles.
