The world we live in is willing to give-up or give-in to threats uttered and executed by those who want to intimidate them. There is not only their freedom of speech they're trying to take away, but their lives as well. I raise my hat in admiration for those who dare telling the world the truth and not be blinded, and muted by threats, warning the world of the true faces behind the smiling masks of treachery. What they, those courageous few, are trying to do is warn the free world of the dangers but, I fear, the world plays 3 monkeys and remains a bystander. Going back some 75 years, not to be found in history books only, because we're still here to tell the tale, Hitler succeeded in blinding its people by propaganda, whipping up hatred, murdering anyone who dared to speak out against him, and the world? It sat back and listened thinking it will never happen and there was a white paper waved in the wind promising peace in our time and that was what the world wanted to hear. Listen and learn from those brave few who put their lives on the block for you, let it not be in vain!!!
