Sun, 07 Aug 2011 11:23:51 +0000 http://spitfirelist.com/?p=1159#comment-14701 I think there is something about this international fascism thing that Dave has been documenting and warning about for decades. I don't see any way to fight it if it cannot be clearly delineated. The problem with so much money and power anyone who rises as a political figure can be either co-opted or terminated as a threat. How do we fight this It appear they want to ghettoize people in their homes or the streets and cut their medical care ... and are not genociding any particular race or culture, and also generating lots of desperate cheap labor. They are absolutely using the ideas of the Shock Doctrine to traumatize people and make them stupid and confused. Defining the problem is usually the first step ... so, how can that be done?
