Perhaps more of you remember Winston Churchill&#8217;s version of it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Which was uttered in a <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"1948 speech to the House of Commons\"          href=\"http:\/\/www.nffonline.com\/industry-news\/2014\/08\/28\/those-who-fail-learn-history-are-doomed-repeat-it\">1948          speech to the House of Commons<\/a>. It really doesn&#8217;t matter which        version of it you remember. What matters is just how many remember the        quote but fail to make it part of their life. A goodly number of such        people have now converged on U.C. Berkeley making it the birthplace of The        Fourth Reich.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I feared this during the 2016 Presidential        campaign. You see, history is a pendulum. It swings back and forth because        so many genetic misfits fail to learn from history. This failure to learn        started to manifest itself most horrifically in Chicago when a team of        anti-trump people came up with a plan to sneak into the Trump rally and        commit violence. They then leaked widespread rumors of this impending        violence and <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"the rally was cancelled\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wbez.org\/shows\/npr\/trump-rally-in-chicago-canceled-amid-widespread-protests\/bd4298c1-ab76-43f7-8baa-2456d8848a07\">the          rally was cancelled<\/a>. What shocked and appalled me even more was        WBEZ, an NPR station airing an interview with one of the perpetrators of        this crime and her gleefully proclaiming this could become the model for        all other states. To some extend it did become that but it did not change        the outcome of the election, it only increased the amount of hatred felt        in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is why U.C. Berkeley became the        birthplace of The Fourth Reich, because it was the birthplace of free        speech. There could be no greater violation of free speech than violently        shutting down a scheduled speech. Allowing a mob to decide what speech        should be allowed is exactly the mentality Adolf Hitler&#8217;s followers had        during the early days of his rise to power. They violently suppressed any        message which did not agree with their doctrine. This allowed him to        eventually become Chancellor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once he became Chancellor we had the <a target=\"_blank\"          title=\"Night of the Long Knives\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Night_of_the_Long_Knives\">Night          of the Long Knives<\/a>. For those who did not pay attention to history,        this was a purge killing at least 85 people to cement Hitler&#8217;s power. We        also had the <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Nazi book burnings\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nazi_book_burnings\">Nazi          book burnings<\/a> destroying or at least attempting to destroy all        ideologies opposed to Nazism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Fourth Reich at U.C. Berkeley are not        far away from book burnings if they haven&#8217;t already began burning them in        the current violence. There have been calls from them to shut down        right-wing sites which disagree with their point of view, or at least so        I&#8217;ve heard in various interviews with those who participated in the riot.        Shutting down Web sites you don&#8217;t agree with is the modern day equivalent        of book burning. More people surf the Web than read books these days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No my dear people, we are watching the early        days of The Fourth Reich starting at U.C. Berkeley. This movement will        spread, if not to other universities immediately, by virtue of the        students graduating and trying to put someone in power &#8220;who thinks like        them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is well and truly sad that the next        iteration of what history will record as the new Nazi party with a        different name took root at the very place which previously championed the        idea all voices should be heard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cancelling any speech rather than bringing        in enough security to ensure safety of attendees is a gross violation of        that which U.C. Berkeley used to represent. It is also a gross and heinous        violation of the mandate for higher learning, exposing students to all        schools of thought so they might better form their own opinion.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
