In both cases the Police stand down. They do not intervene. Destruction of small and medium sized businesses is widespread across the nation. Fires and broken glass are accompanied by looting and assaults on innocent civilians.
Both pogroms are conducted against innocent citizens
Both pogroms are conducted against innocent citizens. Many lose their small businesses.
In Germany, anti-Semitism was encouraged by the Nazi Party. Jews were the Nazis’ primary scapegoats for the German defeat in World War I, and for every other perceived national ill.
In America, rioting and looting was passively condoned by the Democrat Party ostensibly due to the death of George Floyd. Before the 2020 General Election, then Democrat Candidate for the Vice Presidency, then California Senator Kamala Harris, was being interviewed on the Stephen Colbert show when she said of the riots:
“They’re not gonna stop […] this is a movement I’m telling you, they’re not gonna stop. And everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop, they’re not gonna stop before election day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after election day […] and everyone should take note of that on both levels, that they’re not gonna let up, and they should not, and we should not.”
Even Snopes couldn’t walk back her statement of support for chaos.
How the Nazi Party Used Death to Justify Destruction
The catalyst for Kristallnacht was the man on the left, Herschel Grynszpan, who fatally shot the man on the right, Ernst vom Rath, on 7 November 1938 in Paris, France.
The immediate consequence was a rise in the tide of anti-Semitism already growing in Germany.
German born Grynszpan, age 17, went to the German Embassy in Paris with a revolver intending to shoot the German Ambassador. But settled for the first embassy employee he saw. A Third Legation Secretary.
Grynszpan was incited to act when he heard that his family had been deported from Hanover in October 1938, to Poland along with 18,000 other Jews and just deposited there. (A year later, 1 September 1939, Germany invaded and occupied Poland.)
Dr. Joseph Goebbels saw the death of vom Rath as a golden opportunity to fuel German anti-Semitism.
“The political atmosphere of early November 1938 was already heavy with antisemitic violence, as the regime…continued to step up the pressure on Germany’s Jews to emigrate…Goebbels decided to make the incident into a major propaganda exercise. That same day, the Propaganda Ministry instructed the press to give the incident a prominent place in its reporting. It was to be described as an attack by ‘world Jewry’ on the Third Reich that would entail the ‘heaviest consequences’ for Germany’s Jews. This was a clear invitation to the Party faithful to act.” (The Third Reich In Power, Richard J Evans, 2005, p.580)
The propaganda initiative worked:
“That evening, 8 November, pogroms – involving the burning of synagogues, destruction of Jewish property, plundering of goods, and maltreatment of individual Jews – were instigated in a number of parts of the country through the agitation of local Party leaders without any directives from on high.” (Hitler, 1936-1945, Ian Kershaw, 2000, p.137)
When, on 8 November, Goebbels learned that vom Rath had died of his wounds, he exclaimed, “Now that’s done it.” (Kershaw, p.137)
On 30 January 1939, almost two months later, in a Reichstag speech, Hitler predicted that war in Europe would lead to the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe.

How the Democrat Party Uses Death to Justify Destruction
The catalyst for months of chaos in mostly Blue Cities across America was the video of a black man dying while a white police officer put his knee down against George Floyd’s neck.
That video triggered a continuation of a movement that can be traced back to Ferguson, Missouri in late 2014. There Michael Brown died in a struggle with a local police officer over the officer’s weapon.
Between 7 November – 26 December 2014, the American Thinker website posted a series of ten articles on the events in Ferguson following Brown’s death.
It was an episode somewhat similar to the death of George Floyd, but differing significantly in its judicial outcome. Officer Wilson was exonerated by a Grand Jury, changed his name, and moved out of the area. But for many, Brown continues to be a victim of police brutality.
In one of the ten articles mentioned above, the writer was candidly told something – on the record – by the co-founder of the Ferguson “Don’t Shoot” coalition, that soon morphed into the “Hands Up – Don’t Shoot” meme. What he was told sheds light on what we’ve witnessed in the wake of Floyd’s death.
The source, who was an out-of-state attorney employed by a West Coast foundation dedicated to promoting social change, predicted the outcome of the Officer Wilson Grand Jury while it was still convened. Concerning Wilson, the source said, “He’ll not be indicted. He did nothing wrong by following procedure. This is about a new Civil Rights Movement.”
And so, it continues.
E pluribus unum is on the currency in America. Out of many, one.
E pluribus chao is the reality. Out of many, chaos.
