micchiato : First they came for the communists, and I didn’t...

January 14th 2012 First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Martin Niemöller (born January 14, 1892), referring to his 1937 arrest by the Nazis (after being a supporter of Hitler) because of his eventual participation in the dissenting and resistant “Confessional Church”. Interned in concentration camps until 1945, he was eventually liberated by American troops. The WWI veteran became an ardent pacifist after WWII, protested the Vietnam War in the 1960s and lobbied world leaders for nuclear disarmament.

Paranoid? You bet your sweet ass I am!
And even if I am "crazy" it doesn't mean I'm not right. Wish me luck world, my network got hit again and my bat senses tell me I'm in for a long day...
