On March 23, 1933, the nation's legislative body passed the "Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation," which appeared benign and allowed the leader to pass laws by decree in times of emergency.
What it succeeded in doing, however, was ensuring that the leader became a law unto himself.
The leader's name was Adolf Hitler, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Yet history has a way of repeating itself.
Hitler's rise to power should serve as a stark lesson to always be leery of granting any government leader sweeping powers.
Clearly, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we are not heeding that lesson.
