Readers, if you have
studied your history, you will already know that corporate fascism is how
Mussolini and Hitler came to power.
When corporate for-profit enterprise can use their
legally protected ability to gather profits and with their limited liability
protection and with the power to use that shareholder purse of funds to
influence policy that advances their competitiveness, democracy has died and
fascism has arisen in its place.
Those who thought the masses would bankrupt
democracy by supporting elected officials that would grant them increasing
entitlements were wrong. It is the CORPORATE Sphere that will do so. They are
accomplishing this through political capture, then regulatory capture, and
finally through the capture of free speech itself.
I'm afraid, based on my own experience
that fascism will come to America
By Tony Cartalucci
BEWARE
OF PRETENDERS
SUPPLIED
BY THE ESTABLISHMENT
TO
“SAVE US” FROM COLLAPSING SYSTEM.
The US intelligence community,
in conjunction with Wall Street corporate-financier interests, has spent an inordinate
amount of time positioning themselves for a possible military coup and martial
law takeover of the United States. This is being done under the guise of the
fraudulent “War on Terror” but in preparation for a very real and inevitable
economic collapse.
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. ~ Benito Mussolini
This man is General David
Petraeus who served as former head of US Central Command which included combat
operations in Iraq and former commander of US forces in Afghanistan before
being sworn in as the current director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
in September 6, 2011.
Image: Julius Caesar crosses the Rubicon, on his way to seize power in Rome via a military coup and become the republic’s first emperor. America is not immune from suffering a similar prolonged, ignoble death to the extreme, parasitic elitism empire breeds.
Posing as a venerable
American hero, “leading” American troops through two wars in service to his
nation, Petraeus’ ties are in fact to Wall Street and London corporate
financier oligarchs. His membership [3] in the
corporate-financier
Council on Foreign Relations [4] is perhaps the most
significant conflict of interest in America’s political landscape today.
He has been both
commander of America’s troops and now director of the CIA, all while privately
associating with the unelected policy makers of the CFR, an organization that
represents the collective interests of the largest banks, private institutions,
and corporations on earth. Whether Petraeus is guilty or not of improprieties
amidst this enormous conflict of interest is irrelevant.
The fact that he hasn’t shown the proper judgment to rectify such a conflict of interest by either resigning from his post, or ending his CFR associations, should be alarming to all Americans.
To add further fears
regarding the ambitions and agenda of Petraeus, one must examine those that are
gravitating around him and indeed prodding him along.
The struggle is so great that the triumph over fascism alone is worth the sacrifice of our lives. ~ Frederica Montseny
In 2010, Petraeus gave a
speech before the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research
(AEI) [5], another private institution funded by corporations, working on
behalf of corporations, essentially producing their own self-serving policy and
using their vast connections and resources to have it rubber stamped by
Congress and executed by the US Government at the American people’s expense. In
his speech, Petraeus would praise Neo-Conservative policy wonk Frederick Kagan
who he credited for developing the “surge” strategy in Iraq.
All that is needed to set us definitely on the road to a Fascist society is war. It will of course be a modified form of Fascism at first. ~ John T. Flynn
In fact, almost all
military strategy comes not from a large mahogany desk with maps strewn across
it with a calculating general hovering above, but rather from institutions like
AEI and other corporate-funded think-tanks including the Brookings Institution
or the RAND Corporation.
Frederick Kagan, along
with other “resident scholars” at AEI, has also developed the current strategies
being employed in Afghanistan and soon in Pakistan [6].
One might say that Petraeus, and many other lack-luster officers in the United States military are nothing more than empty vessels with administrative and operational capabilities merely carrying corporate-funded, crafted, and serving policies onto the battlefield, while equally empty vessels for politicians sell the policies and their tremendous costs back at home to the American people.
AEI’s board of trustees represents a wide
variety of corporate-financier interests including those of the notorious
Carlyle Group, State Farm, American Express, and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts &
Co (also of the CFR). Dick Cheney also acts as a trustee.
No government fights fascism to destroy it. When the bourgeoisie sees that power is slipping out of its hands, it brings up fascism to hold onto their privileges. ~ Buenaventura Durruti
Joining policy wonk
Frederick Kagan as members of AEI’s “research staff” are warmongers Newt
Gingrich, John Bolton, Richard Perle, John Yoo, and Paul Wolfowitz. AEI’s work
is done entirely with the concept of “American exceptionalism” in mind, or in
other words, American global hegemony.
The AEI’s own annual report is rife with talk of US
strategic preeminence and its assertion over the sovereignty of foreign nations
in the form of sanctions, military operations, invasions, and occupations.
The AEI, in tandem with the Heritage Foundation, Foreign Policy Initiative, and many others, all with interconnecting memberships and corporate-financier sponsors, are literally the “Project for a New American Century (PNAC)” in motion.
If a general commanding
the summation of America’s military might and now America’s immense,
omnipresent intelligence network, being bent to the will of corporate-financier
interests who literally write the script from which he acts isn’t frightening
enough, then maybe it is the fact that these same apparently “Neo-Conservative,”
“right-wing” organizations are also engineering and executing the
latest “liberal-humanitarian” war in Libya.
In fact, as notorious “Neo-Con” Paul Wolfowitz, an AEI “visiting scholar,” expounded the merits of “Obama’s war” in Libya [7] and the desirable effect it could have on helping topple regimes in Syria and Iran, one might recall Wolfowitz’ aspirations back in 1991 where he spoke with General Wesley Clark about an opportunity to clean up the old Soviet “client regimes” before the next super power rose up and challenged western hegemony [8].Amongst these “client regimes” were Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, and Iran. It would appear that one linear agenda serving these corporate-financier interests unfolds regardless of who is in office.
With this in mind, we see
that Petraeus is in no shape, form, or way a “political” or “establishment”
outsider, or by any means a hero capable of saving America from its decline. He
is amongst one of the most entrenched “insiders” there are, with his position
in the CIA digging him in even deeper.
The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. ~ Henry A. Wallace
His, or others like him,
potentially entering into the political fray will be nothing more than a
dangerous new ploy used to manipulate the American public.
As Republican hopefuls flounder in front of an increasingly skeptical and angry public and the path for real political outsiders is being opened, the American people must be ever vigilant against pretenders like Petraeus, or other “military men” who might attempt to cross the proverbial Rubicon and pose as “reformers,” or “saviors” here to rescue us from our flawed form of government.
It should be noted, that
Republican candidate Rick Perry is also entirely compromised by the special
interests described above. Perry, who farcically claimed America “cannot afford
four more years of this rudderless leadership,” already has the very men
currently engineering Obama’s multiple wars behind the scenes, lining up behind
him for indeed, four more years of what Perry called “rudderless leadership.”
Fascism is capitalism plus murder. ~ Upton Sinclair
Foreign Policy reported [9] that
notorious “Neo-Cons” including Douglas Feith, William Luti, Andrew McCarthy,
Charles Stimson, and Daniel Fata, with the help of certified warmonger Donald
Rumsfeld, had been introduced to Rick Perry to help him “brush up” on foreign
policy.
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. ~ Benito Mussolini
Also meeting with Perry
was Dan Blumenthal of the above mentioned AEI, Peter Brookes of the Fortune 500-funded
Heritage Foundation (page 35), and Zalmay Khalizad, a PNAC signatory
and a member of the extraterritorial meddling National Endowment for Democracy’s board
of directors, to help Perry define his “hawk internationalist” foreign policy
stance.
By “hawk
internationalist,” Foreign Policy indicates that it means, “embracing American
exceptionalism and the unique role we must play in confronting the many threats
we face.” This of course is the same “American exceptionalism” promoted by the
corporate-financier funded AEI along with the Heritage Foundation, the
Brookings Institution, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Foreign Policy
Initiative and is nothing more than a misleading way to describe modern day
imperialism pursued by these organizations’ various corporate sponsors.
The struggle is so great that the triumph over fascism alone is worth the sacrifice of our lives. ~ Frederica Montseny
It should be clear that
the establishment is attempting to supply us with a wide variety of political
and non-political poseurs and solutions from which we are to choose, before
they continue on in earnest with their agenda.
Expending energy fighting over these false choices is beyond futile.Instead, the path to restoring the American Republic starts with each and every one of us. The system is only as corrupt as the amount we continue paying into it.
We must recognize the corporations lurking behind this system, seen
by many as benign or even beneficial to modern America, and realize that they
indisputably dominate both America domestically and all that falls under
American influence abroad.
Boycott these corporations into destitution and replace them with local, decentralized, practical alternatives based on real markets, real competition, real progress, and technological innovation.
