Adolf Hitler nicknamed the 'God of Germany' came to power and sustained his authority by intimidation of the masses through his Nazi party organs, the most prominent being the Schutzstaffel (SS) better known as the Blackshirts, the terrorist state security apparatus , driving them into submission while he rammed policies of 'the superior Aryan race' into their psyche.


Do we see this development in Botswana since the creation of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security Services with Isaac Kgosi in charge? Heinrich Himmler the chicken farmer was SS head; Dr Josef Goebbels whose philosophy, was a lie repeated many times becomes the truth, headed the propaganda outfit! Who do we have here? Masisi the bootlicker? Himmler’s storm troopers’ strategy was intimidate, terrorise and beat Germans into submission! The DIS does no less.
