If one is familiar with the fictional musical,
Springtime for Hitler1 (1967), its sequel,
Falltime for Hitler, was performed in the Canadian House of Commons on Friday, September 22, 2023 under the baton of Speaker Anthony Rota.
2 We are not yet sure who wrote the original script, but it may, in time, be FOIAed. However, the plot seems vaguely reminiscent of
Springtime ..., but with a
Fall twist: something about a fraudulent scheme to fund some musical (chairs?) venture. (You know the one where chairs keep disappearing when the music suddenly stops without warning!). Something too about a “worst director,” an “out-of-control actor,” and a “producer-accountant,” scheming partnership.
Over the past three years, (as most of us already know), the
Falltime script has been playing out in malls, main-streets, parks, playgrounds, gyms, jails, schools, salons, churches, courts, campuses, pubs, police lines, parliaments, and on and on — actually, everywhere. But the final
Fall finale (we can hope) of
this Fall sequel was the standing ovation for a Nazi veteran, or, as the original, fictioned producer of
Springtime coined: “practically a love letter to Adolf Hitler.”
Certainly, that’s what it sounded like and with good reason, no, because that’s the tricky tune they have all been humming these past three plus years — you know, that P4 rap song: power, politics, pscience,
3 and propaganda; sometimes abbreviated to P3: public-private partnerships.
Anyway, since it’s
Fall time, and almost everyone is falling over themselves to denounce the standing ovation, how about we denounce the entire script? Let it fall. Let it fall. Let if fall: not into some memory hole (like apparently the '40s), but into perpetual awareness of the frauds, pitfalls, and fallacies of Utopian notions and nightmares.

Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp With Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden is a fictional musical in Mel Brooks' 1967 film
The Producers,[1] as well as the stage musical adaptation of the movie,[2] and the 2005 movie adaptation of the musical. It is a musical about Adolf Hitler, written by Franz Liebkind, an unbalanced Nazi originally played by Kenneth Mars (and later by Brad Oscar and Will Ferrell in the stage musical and the 2005 film, respectively).
In the film, the play is chosen by the producer Max Bialystock and his accountant Leo Bloom in their fraudulent scheme to raise substantial funding by selling 25,000% of a play, then causing it to fail, and finally keeping all of the remaining money for themselves. To ensure that the play is a total failure, Max selects an incredibly tasteless script (which he describes as "practically a love letter to Adolf Hitler"), and hires the worst director he can find (Roger DeBris), a stereotypical homosexual and transvestite caricature. He casts an out-of-control hippie named Lorenzo St. Dubois, also known by his initials "L.S.D.",[3] in the role of Hitler (after he had wandered into the wrong theatre by mistake during the casting call – "That's our Hitler!"). |

Pscience is the corrupted offshoot of honorable Science. It is the inevitable consequence of man's obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, glory, and domination. Pscience is pseudo, psychopathic, propagandizing, plagiarizing, politicized, psy-opic, and above all, profit-obsessed, and profit-driven. This obsessive pursuit and protection by people without conscience (PWOCs) is often enabled by naïve, trusting, or fear-filled acolytes and servitors. Pscience is a one-faith, one-dogma, heretic-fearing, self-deceiving, other-censoring system (SMS).
