"...Unfortunately, most Americans do not realize the gravity of the problem because they are lost in a haze of drugs, alcohol and entertainment distractions—numbed to the crumbling foundations beneath their feet. And our leaders are not advancing any real solutions to the disorder that surrounds us.
Such chaos eventually brings change. In the past, it has inevitably included authoritarian government—which some fear is raising its ugly head in the U.S.
...There are those who always say that it cannot happen here. That was also what many were saying in Germany in the 1930s. The Nazis crimes were the official legal acts and policies of modern Germany—an educated, civilized Western European nation. Much like the U.S. of today, it was a country renowned throughout the world for its industrial and cultural achievements. In fact, Berlin was the epitome of the modern city. Freedom in everything seemed to be the new clarion call in Germany. However, within a short time, Germany became part and parcel to some of the most barbaric acts ever perpetrated by a people.
What happened? The danger signals, much like today, were blazing like neon signs in the night.
But they were not heeded, and those in the know miscalculated human nature crushed beneath the weight of chaos. Granted, we do not yet resemble the kind of authoritarian regimes of the past. But there are similarities, and alarm bells are going off that range from economic concerns to threats to our civil liberties, an increasing military presence in our daily lives, and an undermining of religion and the loss of traditional values.
To start with, the most critical of all the warning signs of our passage down the slippery slope to authoritarianism may be those that signal an economic destabilization.
...If the American economy continues to destabilize, there will be a clamor for someone—an authoritarian leader—to create order out of chaos and run the government, and it will be put to a vote to keep a semblance of democracy. As William L. Shirer, author of the monumental The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, noted back in the early 1970s, America may be the first country in which fascism comes to power through democratic elections.
Equally alarming is the staggering national deficit, which has swollen to $422 billion, much of it owed to foreign banks and entities such as Saudi Arabia. This enormous debt has some observers prophesying that the United States faces imminent bankruptcy. Our country is insolvent, and bankruptcy will come, Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex.) recently said in an interview with Oldspeak. We are much poorer than we think we are. Some actually think the [national debt] can be paid off. But the debt will be liquidated.
The danger is that there is a lot of turmoil when that happens. There is also the fear that in order to keep order we will resort to having a much stronger Executive Branch—a centralized power in one man.
We cannot ignore that there are some kindred underlying dynamics between the political and cultural situation of pre-Nazi Germany and the emerging American political and cultural trauma of the last 40 years. To do so would be a big mistake.
In fact, the troublesome merger of Big Business and Big Government affords those in power the tools of manipulation unheard of in Hitlers time. Add to this the entertainment and drug industries that distract and numb us from feeling any type of reality, and we are ripe for friendly fascism.
This is merely authoritarian propaganda packaged by the advertising and government moguls. But make no mistake about it. In the end, all authoritarian regimes, even the benevolent types, arrive at the same anti-human point.
Finally, we must remember that most police states, like that of Nazi Germany, come about through the democratic process with majority support. And their leaders, much like those today, come into power citing platitudes of religion, morality and order, asking us to put blind faith in the government.
But, as Daniel Kurtzman recognizes in an article on www.tompaine.com, when the government abuses that trust and begins to stamp out the freedom of dissent that is the hallmark of a democratic society, can there be any turning back?
Just in from Crimea--exciting discussion of current events with insightful analysis. Well worth your time!
Dimitri Lascaris discusses more cases before the ICJ against Israel; the cease fire in Gaza; the Middle East could explode; who's in control in Washington; and Tucker interviews Putin.

Have you seen this brilliant interview? I feel we need to support each others' righteous causes. Thank you for keeping up the good fight! This abuse has already started in the USA. My family has been horribly abused, and even murdered. Look at Lahaina....surprise...same perps. Coming to your own block.
"I was riding my bike down the street today and a car drove by and shot me in the arm with something." Sorry this sort of thing happened to you. I have been harassed by my own neighbors for several years. It started at a time when I was an activist in campaign finance and circulating a petition for a new investigation into Sept. 11. I regularly have small mobs of imbeciles driving aggressively around me when I am driving and sometimes when I am walking for exercise. They give me the finger on a pretty regular basis and say other very 7th grade insults like "you're ugly." smh... keep up the great work.
15 years ago today, I posted this on Youtube: 'Friendly Fascist Press, Friendly Fascist Military"
Military exercises over Americans' homes. And the fascist Press who normalizes this shit. Then as now.

I hadn't seen it, but thanks for the link.
I have posted a lot about the outrageous, apartheid, genocidal, illegitimate state of Israel. Yep, we live in a deeply dangerous nation and world.
Peace & Love
