INNAMBURAN PAGES: 19 AUGUST 1934

Lord Acton famously said, "Power Corrupts: Absolute Power corrupt absolutely." History is dotted with the black spots of Democracy unerringly degenerating into Dictatorship of unspeakable horrors like the Holocaust, as it happened this day in 1934 in Germany and that intolerable authoritarian governance like the Czardom in Russia and the degenerate French Empires falling like ninepins in bloody Revolutions. They, in turn, become tyrannies. This inescapable circuitry is the bane of civilization. A look at the unfortunate and rigged-up Referendum 1934 will now be in order.
