In an impoverished Germany by the war, with a Versailles convention which imposed very tough conditions as war damage and with a severe economic crisis, it was not a hard thing for Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei - NSDAP) to acquire the power. Hitler best intuited the power of propaganda and fully exploited the technology and means of communications available in those times. By taking control of the main means of communication, throughout his totalitarian regime, the German people lived in a reality distortion field.
Time past by, the technology evolved, people don’t and also forgot. In the year 2008, means of information have diversified, information travels fast and owning real information became the most important weapon. The whole world is involved in a very expensive war against a more or less invisible enemy: terrorism. USA assumed the role of the leading warrior against this enemy, by any means. At the same time, a new economic crisis hits the entire world and mainly USA. The situation is similar with the 30’s and this time the Internet is the main mean of communication.
