Rise of Fascism: Amerika 2009

AmericanNoteBook: "The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had always been involving and impovershing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was object. This, our Convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us." - Abraham Lincoln Feb. 15, 1848

"Fascism is an example of oligarchy." Benito Mussolini- from The Big Book of Fascism; defined fascism as being a right-wing collectivistic ideology in opposition to socialism, liberalism, democracy and individualism.

Franklin D. Roosevelt in an April 29, 1938 message to Congress warned that the growth of private power could lead to fascism:

"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."

Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and social interests subordinate to the interests of the state or party. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, racial, religious attributes. The key attribute is intolerance of others: other religions, languages, political views, economic systems, cultural practices, etc. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, collectivism, and opposition to political and economic liberalism.

In his 1988 opinion in the case of Williams v. Boles, a case concerning allegations of police brutality, Judge Frank Easterbrook of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit alluded to the series' low reputation among the general public, writing "Many things — beating with a rubber truncheon, water torture, electric shock, incessant noise, reruns of Space: 1999 — may cause agony as they occur yet leave no enduring injury."
This quotation has since made it into the U.S. Supreme Court reports, courtesy of Clarence Thomas's dissenting opinion in Hudson v. McMillian, 503 U.S. 1 (1992)

Space: 1999 (British TV Series 1975-77) was the first attempt since the demise of Star Trek in 1969 at producing a large-scale weekly science fiction series, and the show drew a great deal of visual inspiration (and technical expertise) from the Stanley Kubrick classic 2001: A Space Odyssey.

America is on a road to communism, which I hate, u try to hide the truth, and Nazism was a great political system

[bobbydiablo]

@SS16backup : who is your favorite current political voice?

If you have read Orwell's 1984, then you know they need you to start a revolution to bring in the New World Order. They are doing everything they can to push you into it. Think ahead and above these satanic fools! They have planned for this for centuries. They have thought of everything. They think...

They are both "nazis." They just hope that we will get so caught up in the whole "right vs left" hype that we will forget that both parties are out to fuck us over.

@SS16backup YOU'RE A SICK MOTHERFUCKER!!

@johnnybravo234 : Hi John, Washington's quote is in perfect context. As it related to the empowerment of the common man against those of privledge and aristocracy. I suggest you take a fresh look at modern American Conservatism as it's philosophy and agents serve only the politically connected super rich of this country. You only need to look at Bush & Cheney's "Imperial Presidency" and bypassing of Congressional laws and balance of power.

[johnnybravo234]

@bobbydiablo You are taking Washington's quote out of context. Back in the day, liberalism was a synonymous with conservativism. Now it's ass backwards. If you want to understand the results of modern liberalism, take a look at kalifornia, illinois, or taxachussettes.

American Citizens did want legitimate change, but our general citizens don't realize that when someone promises CHANGE but then acts 180 degrees differently - then it's just more proof the same rulers of our nation are acting behind the curtain and just directing new sets of marionettes.

Not all of us Americans are fascists or support what are government does. However, we are now fully controlled by the Fascists Wall Street crimminals. We are on the brink of Revolution.

[dave777blaster]

America has always had Fascists among them

a great many.

After all during operation paper clip the America Authorities loved the Nazis so much they allowed many of them to come live in America and South America.

NASA = NAZI in America

Some military building is shaped like a Swastika .

No not all Americans But I am willing to bet the CIA and others perhaps even the FBI ranks are filled with them.

The rise of Fascism? Was there a time America was not Fascist it's news to me.

Americans marched in the streets praising Hitler with placards

While Canadians fought 2 long years in the trenches of WW1 and WW2 .

and were tricked with going to war by their Presidents.
