We Didn’t Start the Fire Janet Kuypers 2/27/19 (the anniversary of the Reichstag fire, February 27th 1933) Precisely four weeks after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany, Germany’s parliament building, the Reichstag, was set on fire. And to Adolf Hitler, what a fortunate happenstance this was, where they could pass the Reichstag Fire Decree, to state all communists (since one “started” the fire), were against Germany, which cemented Nazi Germany, and him becoming the Führer. Fortunate happenstance for Adolf Hitler indeed, or was it a well-orchestrated plot by the German Government, making “the Reichstag Fire” synonymous with a Red Flag, a ruse to fool a country to condemn a false enemy so they end up supporting their true enemy instead? This is how master of deceit Hitler orchestrated his way to power. Documents uncovered after the end of World War Two, plus information revealed during the Nuremberg trials, shows Herman Göring may have started the Reichstag fire. Needing a patsy was easy when they found the unstable Dutch communist Marinus van der Lubbe (and man, did Hitler hate those communists; this story’s writing itself). You’re probably now expecting a tirade on concentration camps, or the twisted experiments of Doctor Mengele, or the twisted sadistic acts of a chicken farmer who was too weak to even be admitted into an army. But sorry, reader, Himmler and the SS weren’t even around in ’33, when the Reichstag burned to the ground. This was when just the seeds were planted in the German government, the seeds no one wanted after defeat in World War One. However, these were the seeds planted and growing deep within the mind of Hitler, seeds no one fully understood, even when he wrote his rambling diatribes in Mein Kampf while serving prison time for ducking and covering (instead of heroically fighting) after the Beer Hall Putsch. But don’t think they didn’t aggrandize these failed battles to appease the megalomaniacal “savior” that the women flock to and adore, which is why the leader could never marry a woman; he was only married to the Fatherland. Which may explain his “love affair” with his niece, but after she killed herself (two years before the Reichstag fire), Hitler only settled for a meek woman, well hidden. On the surface the rise of Nazi Germany only existed because a series of curious and fortunate happenstances. But look into each of these inexplicable events, and a different story unfolds altogether, of careful planning — and careful propaganda. Because even Joseph Goebbels, the Propaganda Minister, said that his best propaganda was Adolf Hitler himself, and creating his short-term myth.
