How Austerity Kills (The Continuation of War by Other Means, Part 2)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ May 14, 2013 ⋅ 4 comments

In past posts, we’ve ana­lyzed the “aus­ter­ity” being imposed by Ger­many on the poorer coun­tries of Europe against the back­ground of the the­o­ries of Pruss­ian mil­i­tary the­o­reti­cian Carl von Clause­witz. A recent op-ed piece in the New York Times illus­trates this analy­sis very clearly.


Divine Laissez Faire: Comparing the Theocratic Free Market Philosophies of the Muslim Brotherhood and The Family

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 27, 2013 ⋅ 3 comments

“Free Mar­ket” prin­ci­ples are man­i­fest­ing behind fun­da­men­tal­ist reli­gious cover. The Chris­t­ian fun­da­men­tal­ist group The Fam­ily wields pro­found influ­ence in Wash­ing­ton, behind an ide­ol­ogy that sees laissez-faire eco­nom­ics as “God’s will.” The Mus­lim Brotherhood’s Islamism also views free-market prin­ci­ples as “Divine” in origin.


Telling It Like It Is: Texas Tea Party Activist Articulates the Movement’s Fascist Ideology

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 19, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

The Tea Party folks may seem new to some. Other than the name, the orga­ni­za­tion is just a rework­ing of the fascisti of Mus­solini, advo­cat­ing the val­ues of The Cor­po­rate State under the guise of pop­ulism. A Texas Tea Party leader has spilled the beans, explic­itly artic­u­lat­ing the clas­si­cal fas­cism of the Tea Party.


Brave New World: Virtual Panopticon as “The New ‘Normal’ ”

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 11, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

In FTR #718, we exam­ined the spec­tac­u­larly pop­u­lar Facebook/social media phe­nom­e­non. Behind all of the “glad-handing” sur­round­ing the social net­work are some truly insid­i­ous forces. Much of the cap­i­tal­iza­tion for the net­work comes from forces appar­ently linked to the Under­ground Reich and the intel­li­gence com­mu­nity is all over Face­book and the rest of the high-tech world. It appears that, increas­ingly, any­one who does not wish to be part of this “vir­tual panop­ti­con” and have their data appro­pri­ately mined will be viewed with sus­pi­cion and stig­ma­tized professionally.


Profound Thanks and Farewell to Al Calame: Rest in Peace

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ February 10, 2013 ⋅ 4 comments

Lis­ten­ers to the pro­grams and users of this web­site owe a great deal to my late, dear friend Al Calame, who passed away from nat­ural causes recently. Hav­ing run the Spit­fire CD dupli­ca­tion ser­vice and the old Spitfirelist.com web­site, Al’s efforts were essen­tial to real­iz­ing the goal of get­ting all of the 30+ years of Dave Emory pro­grams and lec­tures avail­able online.


“Quandt-‘em” Mechanics: Kicking the Tires at BMW, Mercedes-Benz

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ February 9, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Many lis­ten­ers and read­ers may be inclined to dis­miss the research of Edward R. Mur­row pro­tege Paul Man­ning on the post­war Bor­mann cap­i­tal net­work. Evolved from the polit­i­cal econ­omy of Nazi Ger­many and man­i­fest­ing hier­ar­chy deriv­ing from that of the Third Reich, that orga­ni­za­tion con­trols the Ger­man cor­po­rate econ­omy. A recent Bloomberg News story about the Quandt fam­ily details their rela­tion­ship to Nazi pro­pa­ganda min­is­ter Joseph Goebbels, set­ting forth infor­ma­tion con­sis­tent with Manning’s research on cor­po­rate Germany.


Imagine, “Morsi Is a Textbook Islamic Fascist”: I Told You So, Part 3 (Democracy, Muslim Brotherhood Style, Part 3)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 16, 2012 ⋅ 6 comments

We recall the tsunami of praise, Hosan­nas and Hal­lelu­jahs gush­ing forth from the world’s media and polit­i­cal pun­ditry. Hail­ing the “Arab Spring” as the dawn­ing of a new enlight­en­ment in that part of the world, they missed the boat–fundamentally. We, on the other hand, were warn­ing that this phe­nom­e­non was a Nazi oper­a­tion, hav­ing been ini­ti­ated by pow­er­ful cor­po­rate forces in the sec­ond admin­is­tra­tion of George W. Bush, it had its trig­ger with the Wik­iLeaks milieu–itself a far-right, Nazi-linked entity, as we demon­strated in FTR’s 732 and #745. (In addi­tion to the doc­u­men­ta­tion in the orig­i­nal WikiLeaks/Arab Spring series, see the arti­cle excerpted below.) Before delv­ing into details, an excel­lent overview of recent events in Egypt was pro­vided in an English-language blog by a cit­i­zen of that tor­tured coun­try. The con­tra­dic­tions and deadly under­cur­rents of unfold­ing events were elo­quently summed up by Mah­moud Salem in “Imagine.”


How Did George W. Bush Spend the Campaign?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Although he has done so out of the lime­light, George W. Bush has stayed true to form. Dubya made speeches in the Cay­man Islands, instruct­ing atten­dees at his talk on how to invest out­side the United States. At least Bush is con­sis­tent. He worked against the best eco­nomic and polit­i­cal inter­ests of the United States and con­tin­ues to do so. One can but won­der what tips he may have got­ten from Mitt Rom­ney in this regard, or vice versa.


Economic Terrorism: Germany and GOP Holding World Economy Hostage

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 19, 2012 ⋅ 14 comments

Work­ing together, the GOP and Ger­many are delib­er­ately pur­su­ing poli­cies to worsen the global econ­omy, in the belief that the dete­ri­o­rat­ing econ­omy will enable them to real­ize their polit­i­cal agen­das. If they are suc­cess­ful, the result will be world fascism–a global cor­po­rate state.


That 30’s Show

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 8, 2012 ⋅ 3 comments

Many com­men­ta­tors have observed the omi­nous par­al­lels between our present fis­cal cri­sis and the eco­nomic fac­tors that led to the Great Depres­sion and the rise of fas­cism, although few note the con­nec­tions between con­sum­mately pow­er­ful polit­i­cal and eco­nomic forces and the sad, tragic events that resulted from their policies.
