1. Jeebus H., what the hell, this needs to be spread far and wide!

2. This story should be on every newscast on every channel but likely won't be on one. Get it? You betcha.

4. This did make it in the news pretty heavily around July. Articles and interviews but it does need to be amplified again.

I saw him on MSNBC and local news here in L.A. He was also making rounds on CNN, Reuters and NBC, CBS, ABC and/or their affiliates.

On Edit: When I say "this" I mean his arrest and story, not this particular video.

6. One of the first things

Hitler did was take over the press.........

If this continues, I can only think that Fox will be elevated to the only media, totally owned and operated by the Republicans as the ONLY media, much like PRAVDA in Russia.....

7. The other media outlets are watered down. They just watch a 249 year old woman being beaten to dead.

8. Not just Hitler

His socialist successors perfected the tactic to a high art. Every visitor to the former East Germany had to surrender all printed matter at the border, where it was confiscated and never returned. Not only that, it was forbidden for more than four people to congregate at a public place like a café. The were terrified, it seems, of idea infiltration. My wife and I had friends there, and the creepy feeling of being constantly observed was something we never got used to. It shapes your mentality. Our friends, even after they could come west, never ever got used to being able to say what they wanted without looking over their shoulder.

9. Yea

My son, in his early/mid teens visited Russia. Once before the breakup, and once afterwards. He said whenever he left the hotel room, he was shadowed by a KBG agent on both of his visits, being a U.S. Citizen......

3. These nazi thugs need to be exposed and stopped.

Btw Mr. Retes looks like a really nice guy. What's happening to him is a horror story. 🙁
