Military Expert: Olympics Ceremony Alarmingly Fascist

CHEN:
The Olympics Opening Ceremony was hailed by some as the biggest show on Earth. But it didn't impress everyone. An Israeli military expert says the ceremony sparks memories many would rather forget. Our Israeli team has the story.

STORY:
Colonel Yehuda Wegman is an expert on military doctrines and Israeli military history. He watched just a part of the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony but immediately felt something was wrong.

[Col. Yehuda Wegman, Military Expert]:
"The phenomenon of thousands of people moving together in huge blocks, like a machine operated by one person to serve one purpose, is a phenomenon that history has proven to be associated with regimes we would rather forget ever existed."

Wegman finds similarities between the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony and the ceremonies held by the Nazi regime. He quotes from the biography of Hitler's Minister of Armaments, Albert Speer.

[Col. Yehuda Wegman, Military Expert]:
"Opposite the giant stages Speer positioned huge blocks of people dressed in brown and black uniforms who, together, formed an impressive geometric shape…The spirit of the generation, which was disturbed by the anarchy and disorder, couldn't but watch the scene in great awe.'"

[Col. Yehuda Wegman, Military Expert]:
"'The visitors in Nirenberg, including many foreigners, were so impressed they were ready to disregard the repulsive aspects of the regime.'"

Wegman recently published an article on Ynet - a major Israeli newspaper's website. He calls the public's attention to the dangers the ceremony represents to the Free World.

[Col. Yehuda Wegman, Military Expert]:
"If this was about a small country like Andorra, then that wouldn't have been a reason for concern. But this is China - a country that accounts for a fifth of the world's population and has enormous power and natural resources. It has the ability to bring into action the ideas that lie behind those ceremonies: ideas of imperialism, intervention and oppression."

Looking into the book, Wegman says history is repeating itself.

Poor man, hope he wasn't too traumatised by the fireworks too.

[FecitAnon]

Bullshit. Ah who didn't see a reference to the 1936 berlin Olympics coming? Jews are just jealous because they feel alienated from Greek culture and the ideal of physical beauty and sport.

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

Moving in blocks with thousands? You mean exactly like the military, including the Isreali?

Everything which threats Israel is anti semetic it seems.

For some days ago i was talking about how bad Israel was threatining the Palestinians and guess what the jew i was talking to said:

"Nazi" -__- I did not even use bad words.

[comali2212]

Killing innocents and destroying their houses with bulldozers and fighter jets is just a reminder of a unique civilization :)

Olympics opening beauty is the REAL terror!

Eh! Deja vu

[parsifal3142]

So you prefer the children to hoist up the flag themselves?

Just be careful when you're talking about things you don't know, brother. One should think before write such useless comment.
