ANONYMOUS MYSTERIOUS LETTER #1 ~ GLOBALIST TO THE SHEEPLE

I found this letter a few years ago on the net then lost the link. It was sent to me last week by Wes Penre who runs the awesome site Illuminati News which I highly recommend for its accuracy and incredible variety of information. When I first read this letter I was completely overwhelmed by it. This was 9 years ago. I posted it in 2007 and no one thought it was anything other than silliness.

However, when I reread it with fresh eyes the other day, I was awed at how far the plans outlined have come true. Even if this is a hoax, there is material in here to consider. That attitude of entitlement is very familiar to us in these days of recessions, clawbacks, wars, police state, mind control, HAARP manipulations, wars, etc etc etc. Give this the respect it deserves, read it and consider our modern planet.

 
Please print this out for the majority who don't have computers, and give it to as many people as you can. Everyone on Earth should read this and it will never get into the papers, for the reasons stated in it, that is why everyone should make as many copies as they can and pass them on. How else will people be able to read it? If everyone does their bit we can inform the world and set the wheels of redemption in motion.

JP Morgan being only a little harsh with his crop and weapons. This agent of the Rothschilds took America to the cleaners and back a few times. 
A LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE SHEEPLE FROM
"THE GLOBALIST NEW WORLD ORDER"

This is truly a wonderful thing. In our media we present before you exactly what it is we want you to do. Then, as if in a flash, our little servants obey. We can send American or European troops to wherever we like, whenever we like, and for whatever purpose we like, and you dutifully go about our business. How much more evidence do you need?

We can make you desire to leave your homes and family and go to war merely at our command. We only need to present some nonsense to you from the president's desk or on the evening news and we can get you all fired up to do whatever we like. You can do nothing but what we put before you.

When any of you seek to resist us, we have ways of making you look ridiculous as we have done with your militia movement. We have delighted to use this movement to show the world how impotent any resistance is. They look so silly marching around with their guns as if they were some match for our military.

Look at what we did near Waco. Did the Davidian's little store of weapons help them? We have generously taxed you and used that money to make such sophisticated weapons you can in no way compete. Your own money has served to forge the chains we bind you with, since we are in control of all money.

Some of you think you may escape by buying some land in the country and growing a garden. Let me remind you that you still pay us ground rent. Oh, you may call it property taxes, but it still goes to us. You see, you need money no matter what you do. If you fail to pay your ground rent to us, we will take your land and sell it to someone who will pay us. Do you think we cannot do this?

And with your ground rent we pay for the indoctrination of your children in the public schools we have set up. We want them to grow up well trained into the system of our thinking. Your children will learn what we want them to learn, when we want them to learn it, and you pay for it through your ground rent.

Those funds are also used for other projects we have in mind and our contractors are paid handsomely for their work. You may doubt that we own your children, or have such control, but you will find that we do. We can declare that you abuse your children when you spank them and have them confiscated.

If they do not show up for school indoctrination, we can accuse you of neglect, thereby, giving them to us. Your children are not yours. They are ours. You must inoculate them, you must bring them to our hospitals if we decree or we will take them from you. You know this and we know this.

Through our electronic commerce we are able to see where you are, what you are buying and how much you have to buy things with. Where do you suppose we come up with our monthly financial statistics? Through the Internet and other sources we can even know how you think and what you say.

It is not especially important to us what you believe as long as you do what we say. Your beliefs are nonsense anyway. But if you think you have a following, and we perceive that you might be somewhat dangerous to our agenda, we have ways to deal with you.

Here is where the NWO's weakness lies ­ their dis-belief in God and His Infinite Power is the root of their arrogance and complacency.

"Don't under-estimate The Force. The ability to destroy a planet (weapons of "mass destruction", etc.) is insignificant next to The Power of The Force (God's Powers)" ­

We have a Pandora's box of mischief with which to snare you. We can have you in court so long you will never get out. We can easily drain away all your assets over one pretext or another. We have an inexhaustible fund with which to draw from to pay our lawyers. These lawyers are paid by you in the form of taxes.

You do not have this vast supply of wealth. We know how to divide and conquer. Have we not brought down rulers of countries through our devices? Do you think your tiny self will be any match for us?

And, let us consider your religions and the "moral majority." The "moral majority" is neither moral nor is it in the majority. We have delighted to use this wet noodle of a movement to make ridiculous the Christian faith.

The silly men who run that organization always end up with egg on their faces. We have always put them in defense of themselves as we have so successfully done with the NRA. We can make it seem by our media propaganda that the National Rifle Association is actually the New Radical Attackers.

Have we not turned the American conservative movement on its ear? If it serves our purposes we can use the conservatives to turn the liberals on their ear. It makes no difference to us but it serves to make you believe there are two sides struggling for their particular position. This helps to make things seem fair and free since everyone has a voice. Actually, there is only one side now with all kinds of masks on, but you are unable to penetrate our purposes.

You see, we can do whatever we like and you can do nothing about it. Does it not seem reasonable that you simply obey and serve us? Otherwise, you get eaten up in the resistance you suppose will liberate you.

You cannot be liberated. Imagine how you can. We supply your fuel for your cars. We can turn it off whenever we like claiming that there is some sort of fuel shortage. What if your car breaks down? You cannot get parts for it without us. We supply all the money you use. 

At any whim of our desire we can stop the money supply or cause a complete crash all together. We can then order the president to declare all money worthless and that we will have to have new money. All of your stashes of cash will go up in smoke in a moment's time.

Don't you need food? If necessary, we can cause a trucker's strike which would stop deliveries of food to your local store. We can starve you whenever we like. You only have food because we have provided it to you from our table.
During the "great depression" we controlled the food. We heaped mountains of food behind fences and let it rot. The hungry were then made to work in our labour camps even though there was enough and more to feed them. Do you really think you can beat us?
You say you will hoard gold coins so you will still have money in the time of the crash. We can simply pass a law which outlaws the possession of gold as we have done in the past. If we find gold in your possession, we would simply confiscate it and put you in prison for breaking the law.

While in prison you would be required to work in one of our prison industries. We have so formed a picture of the labour camps in our prisons these days that no one seems to object to them. We tell people that murderers should pay for their own keep.

No one seems to consider that we have the power to put tomato growers there also. We can pass laws that prohibit gardens and then make up some scientific reason why you may only buy food from our sources. If someone sees you growing tomatoes, they will report you to us and then we will have you in our fields working for us.

Oh, silly nationalists, there is no escape for you, for since long before you were born, we were planning your capture. Your teachers and ministers have been forming your thoughts for us for generations now. You have no idea how to pull out of our influence short of suicide.
Go ahead and commit suicide, it will only help us to deal with the excessive population. You cannot hurt us, find us, or even imagine what we are up to.
I am throwing you these few crumbs only so that you may, if you have a little good sense, obey and follow our orders.

We run Hollywood. The movies such as Terminator and Armageddon, along with a great host of others, were simply created to get you thinking according to our directions. You have been made to delight in violence so that when we send you off to kill some bad man we have put before you, you move without a whimper.
 
We have placed violent arcade games in your malls to prepare your young minds in the art of battle. We have made you to view our armies and police as the good forces and you submit to things that were unthinkable just a few decades ago. Our artful programs, are all designed to help you submit and even help the New World Order.

Star Trek, and other such creations, have taught you to simply obey orders from the new international rulers. Oh, silly people, you thought you were being entertained, while you were actually being educated. Dare I use the words, "brainwashed" or "mind control?" By the way, have you seen the new Star Wars?

What a masterpiece of mental manipulation. Humans confer with nondescript beasts of all shapes and sizes and they confer in English. I wonder where those space beasts learned English. Oh, the simpleness of the mind of the citizen.

He never considers he is being taken into fairyland. We have placed advertisements for Star Wars almost everywhere you go. You will find them in Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Taco Bell and a host of our institutions of commerce. There is something we want you to learn from this movie. Or, perhaps it could be said, there is something we do not want you to learn, from Episodes 4-6. Either way, we will have what we want in the whole affair.

Of course, to keep you off guard we have instructed our elected officials to appear to be correcting the evil of our violence. President Clinton is now speaking against violence in Hollywood movies. This will not solve the problem, but will only make the people believe the problem is being worked on.

Sex and violence are the very best powers to use to help us gain our advantage. How the people loathe to give up their sex and violence, so we place all they want before them. In this way, we keep them so occupied they do not have the integrity or brain power to deal with the really important matters which are left entirely in our hands.

President Clinton has been very helpful to us. We knew of what character he was before we placed him as president. Exposing him was very helpful in adjusting the moral habits of the youth downward. This is to our advantage.

Even more agreeable to us were the vain efforts of those who thought they could remove him against our will. He is useful to us and he will not be removed by anyone until we are ready to have him removed. Excuse me if I seem to be mocking your system of beliefs, but they are rather outdated.

Have you no eyes to see your vain liberties and your righteous pontifications are nothing before us? You can only do what we say you can do. We remove presidents when we are ready and the leader we set up will be there until it serves us to have another.

At that time we place our proposed leader before you and you vote for what we want. In that way we give you the vain voting exercise in the belief you had something to do with placing your president in office.

We use the nations for what we want to use them for. Everyone knows that they must yield to us or die. Fortunately, we have had a few resisters such as Saddam and Milosevic that have been helpful in showing the world leaders what we will do to them if they do not submit.

There is only glory in following our purposes and doing what we say. If one does not, there will be such a sad and tragic result. I would really have you spared of such an end. But, then, again, if you are not spared, it is of no consequence to us. We will use you to alleviate some of the overpopulation problem.

Some of you have thought you could stop us by placing a bomb in one of our abortion clinics or in a government building. Silly souls! How can that hurt us?

All that does is give us an example to use so that we might place more controls and heavy burdens on the population. We love it when you rebel and blow something up. You are our reason for making more laws against all those things which might contribute to your freedom from us. If someone did not blow something up on occasion, we would have no justification in placing more hedges about you. Can't you see how impossible it is for you to resist us? The more you wriggle, the more we squeeze.

Our kingdom is the kingdom of money. Excuse me, but I must confess that we are the rulers of the kingdom of non-money. You must see the humour in that statement. We have given you a piece of paper or some numbers on a computer screen that we have termed money.

It is backed up by nothing and proven by nothing but what we say it is. We create it from nothing, we print it, we loan it, we give it its value, we take its value away. All things that have to do with money are in our hands.

Think of it, what is it that you can do against us without money? If you try to resist, we can cancel your credit or freeze your accounts. Your cash is easily confiscated. We have made so many rules in the realm of living that you cannot live without money.

Camp on government land and you must move in two weeks. You cannot grow much of a garden in two weeks. Many of our wilderness trails are entered by permit only. We have passed laws that do not allow you to live in trailers over a certain period without moving to another location.

Have you not thought it ridiculous that we will allow a man to live in a box full time but we will not allow a man to live in an RV full time unless he is in a taxpaying campground?

Our recent war in Serbia has many purposes to it but we do not speak of these things openly. We let the talk show hosts blather all sorts of nonsense but none of it touches the core. First of all, there is a wealth of natural resources in Kosovo that we must have complete control of. Kosovo has large supplies of uranium in its soil and uranium is very helpful to our regime. Also, it suits us to keep all such minerals out of the hands of potential enemies.

Milosevic has not been helpful in giving those resources into our hands so we simply make things difficult for him until he does. Even now victory over Yugoslavia is imminent.

We are reducing that proud nation to the level of humility we require from all people. After the war, if Mr. Milosevic does not sufficiently humble himself, we will take him to the world court charged with war crimes.

We made up that term; rather ingenious, don't you think? How could there be such a thing as a war crime? The very nature of war is that the rules are off. It is so entertaining to watch the nations try to fight war according to the laws we have placed before them.

The only war crime there really is only involves the crime of being against us. Anyone against us is violating our law. As you have seen when someone is for us we do not care what they do. Was not Nelson Mandela a bomb-toting terrorist who killed many of his enemies? We made a hero of him.

We observe no laws when it comes to war. We do what we want, when we want and where we want. We can starve nations to death, we can ruin civilians and any other horror for which we would take our enemies to court. Look at our example.
We bomb Serbia out of its wits, bomb Kosovans out of their homes, poison their rivers and streams, turn off their electricity making a grand crisis in that country, and then we masterfully make it appear it is all Mr. Milosevic's fault and he needs to go to court for it.
It is the same way we made our inferno at Waco look like Mr. Koresh's fault. Then there was our chief villain, Saddam with all of his weapons of mass destruction. Bad men are a dime a dozen and we can conjure one up whenever it suits us. This is really quite funny when you think of it. I am not one who is usually given to humour, but I do catch myself laughing sometimes at the absolute absurdity of the notions we place before you and you readily accept.

Do you wonder that the leaders of the world tremble at our presence? They know they have no power except the power we give them. We have no fear of Russia or China for we are already in full control of their system of things. China knows that we can freeze any number of its corporations in America and all of its capital at the stroke of a pen.

We want you to be in the system. When you are buying a house, we not only receive the tax revenue to use for our purposes, but we gain large increases from the interest on the loan. You may pay for your house two or three times over from the interest alone. The interest is also taxed which is again placed for use in those sectors of influence we choose.

We do not want you to escape free and that is why we have made it as we have. You are our property. We will not permit you to buy or sell unless you submit to our mark of authority. If you go to court against us, we will wear you out there and in the end you will lose. If you use violence, we will end up having you in one of our labour camps, more specifically called prison industries. You need our money, our entertainments, our fuel, and our utilities to function and if you don't have them, you feel deprived. By this, you are made to yield to our will.

PIRATES OF THE CONSTITUTION

 “Classic nineteenth century European imperialists believed they were literally on a mission. I don't believe that the imperialists these days have that same sense of public service. They are simply pirates.” - John Pilger

“I realised that what pirates do is so ghastly I simply didn't want to get into it.” - Tanith Lee

“What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.” - David Lloyd George

Why does yer Government lie to ye? The most fundamental values of yer country ha’e been purposefully pirated away before yer eyes. They ha’e left ye bilged on yer own anchor! Can ye fathom this, me hearties, crimps n Jennies?

The people seem so powerless against the lies yer Government tells ye, when the Government is not supposed to be agin ye, it's supposed to be ye! Ye, the American people, ha’e been lied to. Clap the criminals in irons!
.
Yer bonnie lads n lassies are dyin’ in a far-off land; those of ye who dissent are spied upon by an Administration that violates the Constitution. Yer economy has been plundered by massive lootin’ occurrin’ in the guise of war and disaster profiteerin’. Yer tax money has been used t’ fly people to places aroun’ the world so they can be keelhauled and tortured whether they be guilty of anythin’ or not. An’ innercent people all over the planet die as a result of policies carried out in yer name that include subversion, sabotage, terrorism, torture, death squads, sexual slavery, and drug traffickin’. Innocent Afghanis die today so that the U.S. can control both the heroin an’ the oil trades. The good ship America is listin’ badly to portside.

Today people in Afghanistan, Colombia, Haiti, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Palestine, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Democratic Republic of Congo die for this thing called the American way of life. Yesterday, it was Cuba, Iran, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Serbia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Chile, Argentina, Libya, Grenada, Nicaragua, Indonesia, and East Timor. A salmagundi of piratical crimes! What exactly is that American way of life?
.
Two separate studies ha’e found that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world, yet the worst, most notable for its lack of universal coverage. Accordin’ to the Pentagon, ye ha’e 16,000 single moms serving in Iraq, an unprecedented number.

The 2000 Presidential Election result was based on the illegal denial of the right to vote of duly registered voters by way of a purposefully corrupted "convicted felons list" that included people guilty of nothin’ but bein’ black, Democrat, and registered to vote in Florida.

The 2004 Presidential election results in Ohio, accordin’ to Professor Bob Fitrakis of Ohio, were tallied on machines that housed Republican Party-oriented websites and that used software written by Republican Party loyalists.

A recent study found that one-third of adults in Washington, DC, yer nation's capital city, are functionally illiterate, not being able to fill out job applications, read maps, or understand bus schedules.

The Innocence Project just announced its 200th innocent released from a prison system that now occupies the number one slot in the world for number of people incarcerated.

The University of Michigan just released a study confirmin’what yer already knew: that hazardous waste facilities predominate in poor, minority neighborhoods. Hull House of Loyola University released a study findin’ that it would take 200 years for black Chicagoans to catch up to the quality of life experienced by white Chicagoans.

Accordin’ to United for a Fair Economy it will take 1,664 years to close the home ownership gap between blacks and whites.

Yer country now claims the top slot as the debt capital of the world.
An’ with the amount of money that ye've already spent on the war, accordin’ to the National Priorities Project, Americans could have had instead:

1.8 million new teachers;
Over 20 million college scholarships;
Health insurance for over 60 million children;
Or nearly 4 million new housing units.

Is this the American way of life that yer children are dying for and the government lies to ye for? Or is it the record profits of Exxon, Microsoft, Apple , Halliburton, Boering, etc etc an’ others while the share of national income going to wages and salaries is at a record low?

Ye should expect more from yer elected leadership. Is it time for mutiny?

The Democrats didn't fight for their own true election results in 2000 or in 2004, so why should ye expect them to impeach an illegitimate Administration that has violated the U.S. Constitution and international law, lied to the American people, and sent yer fine lads n lassies into harm's way fer their own greed?

.
In fact, the Democrats ha’e just now made themselves complicit in impeachable crimes of the Bush Administration. On March 17, the Democrats became explicitly complicit in war crimes, torture, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace. The American people voted for peace in last November's election. And they voted for justice. Ye din't get peace and ye don't have justice.

What about a livable wage for America's workers?

What about the right of return for Katrina survivors?

What about repealin’ the Patriot Act, the Secret Evidence Act, and the Military Tribunals Act?

Why is impeachment "off the table"?

How can the Pentagon "lose" 2.3 trillion dollars!

Why can't ye get that money back for jobs, health care, education, and yer veterans?

THE DEATH OF LITERACY AND COMPREHENSION IN AMERICA


This morning a friend made a comment about the horrendous grammar she was finding in America today. Why was it so bad? And, why did some people bother to correct improper grammar. Rather than leap off into Ebonics or the evils of texting, or typing, etc, I took a different route to answer her. Here is my response.



Some thirty million adults in the U.S. do not have the skills to perform even the most basic tasks such as adding numbers on a bank slip, identifying a place on a map, or reading directions for taking a medication. Eleven million Americans are totally illiterate in English.

Only twenty-nine percent of Americans have basic reading and computing skills. One out of every twenty Americans lacks the ability to understand what is going on in the world or to develop an informed opinion for voting.

With an illiterate, uneducated American citizenry, unable to understand what's happening in the world, it's no wonder that a fascist cabal has been able to take over. After all, they hijacked the system in the early 1900’s when they bought the companies that published the schoolbooks and began to infiltrate the universities with their minions to shape the educational policies they wished Americans to have. In this case it is primarily the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers.

Thinking American citizens must always be aware that what goes on in society is the result of the planning of its rulers; they create precisely the social, psychological, economic, and ideological conditions which will realize their goal of excessive wealth for themselves and impoverishment for the working class. They are patient. They know this does not happen overnight.

Therefore, it is no accident that America's schools have slowly eroded and that the intelligence of the average American has become so debilitated. American learning has plummeted and public school performance has nose-dived ever since the middle of the twentieth century because it was planned that way. Having been eddercated in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s I saw an incredible difference in the things my children were taught in school and had to fill in as many gaps as I could myself. This is up in Canada where we get similar problems in literacy and comprehension as well.

In each culture, the public meanings, ideas, and skills transmitted through educational institutions - schools, academies, monasteries, universities - and through the media - newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, Internet - have always been determined by the small ruling elite - politicians, financiers, warriors, priests, scholars, scientists, corporations.

In most cultures, the "ruling ideas" have fostered violence and class warfare. In only a few instances in have the "ruling ideas" fostered the betterment of common people and society at large. The last example of such a benevolent era was the eighteenth century Enlightenment, which encouraged people to develop broad understanding in all fields of knowledge. Highly educated, intelligent groups in Europe and America developed toward a democratic way of life, created constitutions, and founded institutions for public education.

During this Enlightenment period, words and phrases such as "liberty," "freedom," "natural rights," "pursuit of happiness," "consent of the governed," "informed citizenry," came into being for the first time or were first understood by humans through their own experience. America has served as the beacon of these Enlightenment ideals, maintaining its faith in "the power of knowledge and reason in self-determination!

Predictably, the very people who place American presidents, senators, and representatives in power, through the use of their multi-billion dollar fortunes, are the same monied interests that have deliberately destroyed American education. The Rockefellers, Fords, Morgans, Browns, Harrimans, Du Ponts, and other ruling families want obedient, efficient workers, not thinkers.

Here is their philosophy straight from the mouth of a Rockefeller: "In our dream, we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or science. We are not to rise up from among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to rise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

(How do we spell god complex?)

“The economic well-being of the nation depends on the presence of a large number of men who are content to labor hard all day long. Because men are naturally lazy they will not work unless forced by necessity to do so. The education of the poor threatens to rob the nation of their productivity. . . Every hour those poor people spend at their books is so much time lost to society. Going to school in comparison to working is idleness." - Bernard de Mandeville

"We must overcome the fetishism of the alphabet, of the multiplication tables, of grammars, of scales, and of bibliolatry. It would be no serious loss if a child never learned to read. American working-class children are a great army of incapables, shading down to those who should be in schools for dullards or subnormal children, for those whose mental development heredity decrees a slow pace and an early arrest." G. Stanley Hall, Hopkins University

The most controversial issues of the twenty-first century will pertain to the ends and means of modifying human behavior and who shall determine them. The first educational question will not be 'what knowledge is of the most worth?' but 'what kinds of human beings do we wish to produce?' The possibilities virtually defy the imagination.

The future role of literacy in the workplace has been stated by Pierre Dogan, the president of Granite Communications, a company that is developing software for hotel housekeeping. They state that so long as maids can read room numbers, they will be able to check off tasks completed or order supplies by simply touching pictures on the screen. This way one can create a work program with prompting including iconic images. That makes it very easy to use a completely illiterate workforce.

Then there is this very important aspect of literacy. Those who can "read" in the grammar school sense but who cannot read: understand the meaning of the words they see. There are those today, for example, who "read" about such things as worker layoffs and American corporations relocating their manufacturing plants in China or Indonesia, but who do not understand the meaning of what they "read." It is just words and facts, no deeper levels of comprehension.

Another kind of modern-day "illiteracy" occurs as people "read" or "hear" the "news" in newspapers or on TV, and allow themselves to be taken in by the propaganda that such "news" involves. This is where the mind controlled aspect of a populace comes in. This allows for the propagandizing of a culture towards an ultimate goal of the leaders, usually for their own aggrandizement.

Hal Becker ex-Media Expert for the White House said, “I know the secret of making the average American believe anything I want him to. Just let me control television.... You put something on the television and it becomes reality. If the world outside the TV set contradicts the images, people start trying to change the world to make it like the TV set images.”

Living in an age of repression, we become accustomed to it. So what if our schools no longer teach people how to read or think, no longer help students gain an understanding of why human liberty is so precious and precarious. All forms of media present images of "cool," illiterate, violence-prone savages dressed in the latest styles and exhibiting the popular ego-centered attitudes.

Unable to understand the creativity of a well-written novel or screenplay, no longer capable of appreciating the depths of classical music, they move in a grey world of ego-gratification and violence. Soon the false values become identified as the true, and we have movies such as Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, and The Little Mermaid touted as masterpieces.

We only gain awareness of the oppressive nature of contemporary society when we become the victim of unemployment or a mugging or some other mishap. Trained to be oblivious to the plight of others, we fail to see the hundreds of thousands who suffer from homelessness, lack of medical care, and wage slavery. This is the source of much of the blind intolerance we run across here in Yahoo for example.

Since people are encouraged to pursue their own interests, there is no feeling of solidarity and hence no possibility of concerted effort to overcome the oppressive conditions. It seems perfectly normal that a two-class society is rapidly developing.

With new billionaires being created every year while millions of workers are laid off, denied welfare, and their tax money stolen by wealthy looters in such scams as the Enron/Anderson swindle, the savings and loan fraud, the Mexican "loan" scandal, and the IMF repayment to wealthy investors who suffered from the Asian stock market crash. And then there is Wal-Mart and its ways, we won’t even go there! But they are in the lead for the types of employment we discuss here.

For the oppressed to be able to wage the struggle for their liberation, they must perceive the reality of oppression not as a closed world from which there is no exit, but as a limiting situation which they can transform.

America today is a combat zone where the War against Intelligence is constantly being waged. Unfortunately, the rulers are currently winning: Americans are progressively losing their ability to understand what is happening in the world around them.

Americans are unable to see that the Bush administration is using the pretext of the war against terrorism to destroy essential constitutional liberties. Billions of dollars have been stolen by the wealthy while the working class is devastated through unemployment and lower wages.

If one class possesses all the wealth and the education, while the residue of society is ignorant and poor, it matters not by what name the relation between them may be called; the latter, in fact and in truth, will be the servile dependents and subjects of the former.

Americans are rapidly losing a sense of the values that made the country great. Anti-intellectual, racist or right-wing multiculturalism has replaced education, bought-paid-for politics has replaced democracy, funneling billions to the fat-cats has replaced statesmanship, and attacks on constitutional liberties has replaced political and judicial oversight.

Wake up n smell da coffee folks.

HOW FASCIST IS AMERICA?

Beneath our very noses, George Bush and his cabal are using time tested tactics to close down an open society. It is time to begin thinking of the unthinkable. It can happen in America and we are further along than most people realize. There is a blueprint for turning an open society into a dictatorship. That blueprint has been tweaked and is even more effective than before. It is very difficult to create and sustain a democracy, but closing one down is much simpler.

As difficult as this is to contemplate, it is clear that each of these steps has already been initiated in America. These 14 points were written by Dr.Laurence Britt, a political scientist. He studied the fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet.

1.Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism. From prominent displays of flags to lapel pins and bikinis, the fervor to show patriotic nationalism is obvious. Catchy slogans, pride in the military, demands for unity are common themes of nationalism. This is coupled with a suspicion of foreign things that border on xenophobia.

2. Disdain for the importance of human rights. The regime views human rights as of little value and a hindrance to realize the objectives of the ruling elite. Through propaganda, people are brought to accept these human rights abuses by marginalizing, even demonizing those targeted. When abuse is egregious, the tactic is secrecy, denial, and disinformation.

*Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims but by the way it kills them.~ J.P. Sartre

3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Scapegoating is encouraged as a means to divert the peoples’ attention from other problems and to channel frustration in controlled directions. Propaganda and disinformation are highly effective. Since it is no longer acceptable to smear Jews or Blacks in political discourse, the right has turned to Muslims. Smears against Muslims are believable because of 911.

*The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. ~ Henry A. Wallace

Scapegoating is rolling back the gains of anti-racism. Anti-terror stunts and propaganda are demonizing Muslims and making Islamophobia the acceptable face of racism.

4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism. Ruling elites always identify closely with the military and the industrial infrastructure that supports it. A disproportionate share of national resources is allocated to the military even when domestic needs are acute. The military is made an expression of nationalism and used whenever possible to assert national goals, intimidate other nations, and increase the power and prestige of the ruling elite.

5. Rampant sexism. Beyond the simple fact that the political elite and national culture are male dominated, these regimes consider women second class citizens. They are adamantly anti-abortion and homophobic.

6. A controlled mass media. Mass media under strict control will never stray from the party line. The leaders of the mass media are politically compatible with the power elite. The result is success in keeping the general public unaware of the regimes’ excesses.

*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.

*I know the secret of making the average American believe anything I want him to. Just let me control television. You put something on television and it becomes reality. If the world outside the TV set contradicts the images, people start trying to change the world to make it fit the TV images. ~ Hal Becker, Federal Media Expert

*With a fascist the problem is never how to best present the truth to the public but how to best use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power. ~ Henry A. Wallace

7. Obsession with national security. The national security apparatus is under direct control of the ruling elite. It is an instrument of oppression and modified behavioural control and operates in secret, beyond constraints. Its actions are justified under the rubic of homeland security and questioning its activities is portrayed as treasonous.

*Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death. ~ Adolf Hitler

*A new fascism promises security from the terror of crime. All that is required is that we take away the criminals’ rights which are, of course, our own. Out of our desperation and fear we begin to feel a sense of security from a new totalitarian state. – Gerry Spence

*I’m afraid, based on my own experience, fascism will come to America in the name of national security. ~ Jim Garrison

8. Religion and ruling elite tied together. Fascist regimes attach themselves to the predominant religion of the country and portray themselves as militant defenders of that religion. The fact that the ruling elite’s behavior is incompatible with the precepts of the religion is swept under the rug. Propaganda keeps up the illusion that the ruling elite are defenders of the faith and opponents of the godless. A perception created is that opposing the power elite is an attack on religion.

9. The power of corporations protected. Although the personal life of ordinary citizens is under strict control, large corporation operate in relative freedom. The elite see corporate structure as a way to not only ensure military production, but also as a means of social control. Members of the economic elite are pampered by the political elite to ensure a continued mutuality of interests, especially in the repression of “have not” citizens.

*Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection. – Henry A. Wallace

10. Power of labour suppressed or eliminated. Since organized labour is seen as the one power centre that could challenge the political hegemony of the ruling elite and its corporate allies, it is inevitably crushed or made powerless. The poor form an underclass, viewed with suspicion or contempt. Under some regimes being poor is considered a vice.

11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts. Intellectuals and the freedom of ideas and expression associated with them are anathema to Fascism. Such academic freedom is considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities are tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas of expressions of dissent are strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed. To these regimes, art and literature should serve the national interest or they have no right to exist.

*That which the Fascists hate above all else is intelligence. ~ Miguel De Unamuno

*There can be no real question that the Age of Enlightenment promoted the cause of freedom, more widely, directly, positively, than any age before it. It not only asserted but demonstrated the power of knowledge and reason in self-determination, the choice and realization of human purpose. For the first time in history it carried out a concerted attack on the vested interests that opposed the diffusion of knowledge and the free exercise of reason. ~ Herbert J. Muller

12. Obsession with crime and punishment. Fascist regimes maintain Draconian systems of criminal justice with huge prison populations. The police are glorified and have almost carte blanche leading to rampant abuse. The lucky “normal” and political crimes are often merged into trumped up criminal charges and used against political opponents of the regime. Others die in mysterious plane crashes. Fear and hatred of criminals is promoted among the population as an excuse for more police power.

13. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Those in business circles and close to the power elite use their position to enrich themselves. This corruption works both ways. The power elite receive financial gifts and property from the economic elite who, in turn, gain the benefit of government favouritism. The power elite can obtain vast wealth from other sources as well: for example, by stealing national resources. With the national security apparatus under control and the media muzzled, this corruption is largely unconstrained and barely understood by the general population.

*We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends or even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come. – Paul Joseph Goebbels

14. Fraudulent elections. Elections in the form of plebiscites or public opinion polls are usually bogus. When actual elections with candidates are held, they are perverted by the power elite to get the desired result. Common methods include maintaining control of the election machinery, intimidating and disenfranchising opposition voters, destroying or disallowing legal votes, and, as a last resort, turning to a judiciary beholden to the power elite.
