"Hello, welcome to Nazi Germany," greeted the old veteran...
There was an elderly man (probably in his late 70's-early 80's) in front of the grocery store with his veterans jacket on (despite the FL heat) greeting people walking up with a, "Hello, welcome to Nazi Germany."

The look on his face was a sad one, he wasn't confrontational at all. There was a gentleness in his voice.

And this man didn't appear as if he was in a dementia or ALZ crisis, he looked like he'd simply had enough and had to say something.


Maybe some of y'all see stuff like this everyday, but I don't, so I post. It was so unexpected it was surreal.

It must be such a bitter pill to swallow for our elder veterans to see what's becoming of this country.

I am sure he is grateful he won't have to experience it much longer. As for us... it'll get worse before it gets better. But when it gets better, it'll be so much better...

Naw, I really did just get home from the store, and he really was saying that.

I have no agenda but to share a story that is deeply moving me.

Re: "Hello, welcome to Nazi Germany," greeted the old veteran...
So many people in general are not happy about the direction this country has taken, and the emotional outbursts and expressions are becoming more frequent and this can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.

Some may see a crazy loon ranting outside a store and dismiss further thought about it but others might really look beyond his outer appearance and figure that there must be something to his claims that compelled him to BE there SAYING what he is and dig deeper into that for meaning on a more personal level.

I think it's good that people are expressing their opinions regardless of repercussions they may fear in retaliation...

Too much paranoia regarding motive behind anothers communication has only bred a population of people who can't recognize another human being for what they are...just another human being in the same world they're in.

Perhaps being from Germany it sounds like that to you.
I can assure you however, many others feel the same about the direction our country has taken.

Interestingly enough, it is primarily retired military folks
I see who are awake/brave enough to be sounding the warning bell.
We all breathe the same air.

I think they have the most to lose because they invested their ENTIRE lives, their SPIRITS, into patriotism to their country...I dunno, I just think the rug is pulled from underneath their feet a little harder than some other of us because of their past dedication. I think this because I was raised by a career Navy man. I know very well how deeply patriotism can be engrained in a military person.

The thing is, they're tough as nails. That gentleman at the store probably served in the Korean War. Standing up at the door of a grocery store civilly, disobediently, making a statement like that has got to pale in comparison to the challenge that is carrying a gun through the jungle, and serving his country in a deadly fashion.

I doubt that elder vet thought he anymore has a single thing to lose by speaking out, as he sees fit...afterall, he's an American, and it's supposed to be his right.

Anyway, it was definitely one of my more memorable visits to the grocery store. I've been more emotional than usual lately, and this got me pretty good here this morning.

Thanks for reading and posting youse guyses...hf

Governments aren't countries, they are legal entities just like MS or coca-cola...

Judaism itself has no access to the human prefrontal cortex lmao...

"The jews" are in fact predatory genetic psychopaths. It's actually the "master race" Hitler was talking about...

So the same "jews" ie Psychopaths are also running the US government, trying to merge it into a socialist world government aka the NWO.

While this thread is at the precipice of turning into a fuckall arguement thread I want it to be known that it was not my intention to incite such.

This thread is in no way a political statement made by myself.

Ms. ArunaLuna's post best sums up the reason why I posted--

Was the man a German or American veteran? He was probably fought in World War II.
