Are we a New Weimar?

Description: Germany's bizarre 1919-1933 "psychedelic trip" between conservative militarism periods offers disturbing parallels to America today. While surrounding decades were prudish and structured, Weimar exploded with sexual degeneracy and cultural chaos—exactly like our current era. This strange historical anomaly wasn't just a random blip—it was the unheeded warning before catastrophe. The similarities are far more extensive and influential than most realize. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.
