Has America Embraced Fascism With Open Arms?

Has America Embraced Fascism With Open Arms?

 You Be The Judge

Statue of Cincinnatus in Cincinnati, OH

I have heard a lot of people arguing amongst each other about whether or not America is a Democracy or a Republic, if it has become Socialist, or if it has now become Fascist. The answer is yes. America was founded as a Republic with Democratic ideals and a Constitution was drafted to prevent tyranny from overtaking the country. Ultimately it was, and is, up to the citizens to enforce the Constitution against any individual or group of individuals who might try and overthrow the Government and enforce tyrannical rule. What this means is that the elite who have taken over our country are not to blame, we are. There will always be someone who wants to run the show in a Monarchical or destructive fashion and this is why the Founding Fathers created the Constitution. It is so the people could understand their roles in not letting this type of thing happen. Anyway; America is officially a Republic that has now taken on both Socialist and Fascist tendencies. Socialism is not how it's perceived by most people.

Socialism is defined as a country where everything is equal in an economic sense. All businesses are owned by the workers and they elect their supervisors and representative officials for each industry. The Governments own the education systems, hospitals, land, etc. and as far as the work place, the wealth is distributed evenly. There is no class distinction or really, distinction of any kind. All are equal and should be treated accordingly. I do not agree with this notion because all people are not equal; we are different. Some people excel at particle physics and others excel at throwing balls in to hoops. We are equal in the sense that we are free and have 'born freedom' but as far as talent and natural abilities, we aren’t equal, just different. People who are better at something should be the ones doing it and paid accordingly. Does this make sense? Good.

Socialism basically sets up a political system in every aspect of one’s life and the Government is EVERYWHERE! For some reason people have latched onto this idea as good. In my opinion, it is probably that these people feel the need to have Government systems take care of them and pay them for doing nothing. They aren't capable of getting all the material toys they want and are jealous of the people that do. Now I think it's important to note here that I have no money at all and really couldn't care less about it so it's not like I am mocking people because I have money and they don't. I do not want large sums of money and am perfectly content with having just enough to live. My point is simply this, if I have done nothing to earn more money, then why on Earth would I feel entitled to it? So has America become Socialist like some people claim? No, of course not, but we have taken certain aspects of it and embedded it in our country. These aspects involve Government ownership of nearly every market except the 'Public Sector' which is getting smaller and smaller every day.

So how about Fascism? I said at the beginning that America has taken on certain characteristics of Fascism, but how many? I plan to explain what Fascism is and will leave it up to you to decide what extent America has embraced Fascism (with open arms I might add!). Below is the official definition from: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism

Fascism:

1)       often capitalized: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2)       a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

The word Fascism comes from the Latin, “Fasces” which is a bundle of rods tied around an axe. This originated in Ancient Rome and was (still is) used to symbolize the indestructible nature of a bundle of rods (humans coming together) wrapped around an axe that could be used to chop down their enemies. More simply put, it symbolizes strength through unity and as long as the people are together, it will be easier to kill people who live across an imaginary boundary or border or just think differently. Sounds like the Christian Church might be a little Fascist in that sense! Before I describe Fascism, I want to point out the fact that the symbol of the Fasces is everywhere in the United States. I will list a few of the locations the psychotic elite have put this in America:

• In the Oval Office; above the door leading to the exterior hallway and above the corresponding door leading into the President’s private office
• The Grand Seal of Harvard University has two inward-facing fasces and is located inside Memorial Church
• The National Guard use this symbol on the seal of the National Guard Bureau
• It was on the reverse side of the ‘Dime’ between 1916 and 1945. This was later replaced with the symbolic ‘Torch of Illumination’ which has been used all over the world to symbolize the knowledge given to mankind by the Gods.
• In the United States House of Representatives , two fasces are located on both sides of the flag
• The Mace of the House of Representatives is also a fasces consisting of 13 rods bundled together with a silver eagle perched on a globe on top
• The seal of the US Senate has two crossed fasces
• On top of the US Capitol building is the Statue of Freedom which has a ring of fasces at the base
• The US Capitol is spelt with an ‘O’ instead of an ‘A’ because the word comes from the Roman, ‘Capitoline Hill’

The Fasces symbol is located in many more locations across the country, but I just wanted to mention the ones in D.C. along with the Harvard seal. Fascism is the idea that Nationalism is best and people should put the needs of the Government and Nation above their own needs or even that of their families. The mental disease of Patriotism/Nationalism is of course a huge part of Fascism. According to the “World Fascism: a Historical Encyclopedia, Volume 1”:

“Fascists seek to rejuvenate their nation based on commitment to the national community as an organic entity, in which individuals are bound together in national identity by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood. To achieve this, fascists purge forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration.”

The 'Mace' of the House

Fascism is always led by a single party totalitarian nut job like Mussolini. In a Fascist country, any opposition whatsoever is squashed immediately. Neighbors would sell each other out if one of them said something against the country, the leader, or said anything that differed from the official party line. I would literally have been rounded up and murdered by now for saying some of the things I have said and will say in the near future! What we see around America right now with neighbors watching each other and reporting suspicious activity is 100% Fascism and anyone who would do something like that should be shot on sight. I have absolutely no respect for any person that would “tattle tell” on another individual that they know (or even don’t know) for being an individual, doing something they are told not to, or saying something that’s different from what they ignorantly believe. The case would obviously be different if someone committed a heinous crime, but simply tattle telling like a five year old child is despicable and I don't understand how someone could be proud of doing that. One aspect of Fascism is the practice of political violence and war being used to create "spirit and vitality" amongst its citizens. Fascists believe violence is a fact of life and leads mankind toward human progress. This actually sounds a lot like what the Neo-Cons believe. The idea of using violence to unite a group of people is absurd, but has been shown to work, such as on 9/11. This type of thinking in Fascist societies is why Eugenics is so highly respected as well. The reasoning behind this is that weeding out the "undesirables" creates a stronger nation of intelligent, attractive, and physically strong individuals.

The Dime from 1916-1945

My God, just think about the things people can be manipulated into thinking! I know the elite think this way but it truly amazes me that they have gotten the average sheeple to believe it as well. Take a look at what’s happening now-a-days. Human beings think other human beings are a scourge on the Earth. The lie of overpopulation, global warming, and humans destroying the environment has taken hold in the public mind. I want to state right now that the Earth is not overpopulated. I have driven across the country more times than I can count and there is hardly anything out there. A few cities can be found here and there, but mostly it is just desert, flat land and forests. Global warming, as we know, is complete bullshit and if you aren’t aware of this, go do some research.  The idea came about, and is used, to create an industry selling imaginary carbon credits (worth billions) and to steal even more money in taxes. As for mankind destroying the Earth, this is complete nonsense. Yes, forests are disappearing, lakes drying up from corporations taking the water to sell to us, bad chemicals are being released into the atmosphere and the ozone has a hole in it, BUT, it isn’t mankind doing this. It is the elite who are implementing all of the things we see that are destroying the planet so if anyone should be killed off, it is them. All of those ideas have led people to think Eugenics is good just like a Fascist state. Humans are not a scourge on the Earth and should not be wiped out. The elite, whether a psychopathic human, demon, or alien are the real problem and they are the ones that should be wiped out! I don’t think people really contemplate the idea of 6,000,000,000 dying and if they have and still agree, there is no hope for humanity.

There isn’t much more to say on Fascism because the rest can be surmised off the description I just gave. The summary is this, Fascist Governments believe in strict patriotism. The people should be united through the idea that their country is better than all others and they are the ‘Chosen People.’ Any group or Government that threatens the ideal of the Fascist nation should be destroyed and as a benefit, this death and destruction will unite and advance the people. The needs of the nation come above the needs of the people and their families and if necessary, Eugenics would be enforced to keep the bloodlines of the people pure. Is this starting to sound a little familiar? Has America started taking on Fascist ideologies? I found a very interesting article on Jeff Rense’s website that explains Fascist ideas and I just want you to keep America in mind as you read this. The article is called “Fourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism” by Dr. Lawrence Britt at: http://www.rense.com/general37/char.htm

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:

 

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

 

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

 

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

 

4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread

domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

 

5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

 

7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

 

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

 

9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

 

10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

 

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

 

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

 

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

 

14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

With that said, can anyone really say America has not become Fascist? Ultimately, America started as a Republic with Democratic ideals and a Constitution that protected it from tyranny. As we move to the end of our nation it has taken on aspects of Socialism, Fascism and the Constitution has been destroyed. Legally speaking, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and there is nothing that can trump it. This is why I don’t understand how they can pass laws that do just that. The problem is that the new laws that rip apart the Constitution and take away our liberties cannot stand up in a true court of law because as I stated, the Constitution comes above all else. Unfortunately, the child molesting and corrupt judges say “Fuck your Constitution maggot! I AM the law! Now kiss my boots you scum or I'll take away your children!” and how can anyone argue with that? So to end this article, I want to simply ask you once again; has America become Fascist? If you don’t think so, please let me know why as I am curious to hear the reasoning behind it.
