U.S. Slow Descent into Fascism 1

http://www.mc8.org

THE END OF AMERICA

United States is on the road to becoming a fascist society, right under our very noses.The Ten Steps of the Fascist Shift as interpreted by Naomi Wolf and applied to the Bush administration, could equally apply to Presidents in the 1920s, 1940s, and 1950s. United States history has been through many worse times and survived.
While researching the 1920s for my book The Ragmans War, I learned many dark secrets about the Roaring Twenties hidden in union archives, news articles from that time, and in memories of old men.
Applying the 10 steps to the administrations of Wilson, Harding and Coolidge would have made it the 1920s the worst decade for fascism in US history. Steel and Rail Barons controlled all branches of government and wielded their influence to keep millions of immigrant workers laboring in the mills and mines for little or no wages. Dissidents and union organizers who riled against this serf system of cheap labor that kept the Twenties stock market roaring were branded as anarchists. They were detained, deported, jailed, or murdered.
In the mining towns the mine families were forbidden to bear arms, to assemble, to have free ingress and egress to their towns, to sing hymns, and join unions. During the 1927-28 strike in the western Pennsylvania coalfields, they had their property seized and sold at auction and were evicted from their houses even when the rent was paid. Company agents had free access to invade their homes at whim.
Constitutional abuses in the bituminous coalfields around Pittsburgh were so bad that members of the US Senate decided to visit the area to evaluate the situation. The ACLU did their own investigation and reported their findings in a booklet titled The Shame of Pennsylvania.
Dont believe me then look it up for yourself or read Bucket of Blood the Ragmans War, The Battle of Blair Mountain: The Story of Americas Largest Labor Uprising, or Storming Heavan. Then there was the Red Scare of 1919, the Palmer Raids, and persecution of the IWW (Wobblies)? What about the Red Scare of the late 1940s under Truman? How many communists and sympathizers were detained, deported, jailed, or went into hiding?

The Ten Steps of the 1928 Fascist Shift:

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy (Communists, Wobblies, Labor Unions).

2. Create a gulag ( Captive Coal Towns, Wobbly Interment Camps, Deportation Centers).

3. Develop a thug caste (Coal and Iron Police, Pinkerton Men, American Legion).

4. Set up an internal surveillance system (Paid Stool Pigeons, Mail Interception).

5. Harass citizens groups (Company Sheriffs, State Troopers, County Sheriffs, Constables, Coal and Iron Police, KKK, Jim Crow Laws).

6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release (union organizers, black lists, civil rights activists, Wobblies, innocent immigrant workers).

7. Target key individuals (scientists, academics, journalists, artists, writers, social activists, movie producers, labor leaders and organizers).

8. Control the press (coal, steel, and rail barons, judges, Hearst Syndicate).

9. Dissent equals treason (Sedition Laws, Red Scare, Palmer Raids, Anti Union Laws).

10. Suspend the rule of law (suspension of Constitutional rights for coal and steel families, Rossitor Injunctions, Coal & Steel companies rule the towns they own, their appointed agents are the law).

OOPS!!! Wolfe forgot about suppression of free speech.

Saddam was a "useful idiot" we helped put him in power and when he attacked Iran and supplied him with weapons including poisen gas that he used on his own people. Then when he was no longer "useful" he was given permission to seize Kuwait. The started the 20 year demonization of him and the destruction of Iraq. .

@Mindsi2 you don't know what the health care is really about nor what is really inside those pages. There are people trying to tell us and we are not listening because we are used to thinking the Gov will be good to us and for us. It's not so

[superbionicbatman]

@Mindsi2

Brevity, you have it.

[james1014328]

@xexixk good points johan goldburg is so full of shit

both the extreme left and the extreme right had there totalitarian leaders

both sides see things in black and white

[SeppLainer]

Nothing slow about it, the US has been fully fascist since Hoover and FDR.

[xexixk]

@seppsters Of course there is more said in the US about the crazies on the far right as they are much larger in number in the US than are crazies on the far left.

[xexixk]

@seppsters I said that he shouldn't buy into the propaganda of those on the far right who say that all bad only comes from the far left. I didn't say that no bad has ever come the reaches of the far left and I do not know anyone who down plays Mao, Lenin, Stalin or Polpot. The further point was that while the right doesn't downplay Hitler, there are a number on the right who instead try to claim that Hitler was a leftist (an absurd claim).

[seppsters]

@xexixk

lol propagandists ? What planet do you live in ? All I hear is the demonization of the far right 24/7/365 in the media and the idealization of the left. I do agree with you, but the similarity between far left/right is called statism, and the "moderate" left is much much closer to that than the right. Plus, you'll find practically noone on the "moderate" right who tries to downplay Hitler's actions and yet that's all the left does when talking about Mao/Lenin/Stalin/Polpot & co.

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and the keystone under independence."

Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation."

[xexixk]

@ytba Some of the first people rounded up after the Nazis came to power were suspected communists and trade union leaders. The industrialists loved Hitler b/c of the favorable conditions he gave them as well as discarding all workers rights and outlawing unions. Go to far to the right (Hitler/Mussolini) or to far to the left (Stalin/Mao) you end up at roughly the same place: tyranny. Don't buy into the propagandists who say that bad only comes from the far left.

Most people/Europeans don't even realize American is the oldest continuous modern democracy on the planet.. American governance has changed little since 1789....Making caparisons to European nations is comparing apples to oranges.....

Read the Next 100 Years ..,by GEORGE FRIEDMAN....

She wrote the book,to make money on fears of people......It is what it is...

[ClarksonsinUSA]

She speaks from the heart because the facts do not support her argument...
