Anonymous vs. The Muslim Brotherhood: Hacktivists Deploy against Islamic Fascists

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 12, 2011 ⋅ 12 comments

COMMENT: A fas­ci­nat­ing story comes to us from the  vig­i­lant “ter­rafractyl.” The Anony­mous hack­ing milieu has declared war on the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood in Egypt. I don’t know how tech-savvy the Ikhwan is, or how vul­ner­a­ble their 0perations are to the sorts of gam­bits that can be employed by Anony­mous, but this is a remarkable [...]

The Folks Who Call the Shots

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ October 27, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: From The New Sci­en­tist comes an arti­cle fea­tur­ing a detailed com­puter analy­sis of the con­cen­tra­tion of eco­nomic power wielded by trans-national cor­po­ra­tions.
Although this is not exactly rev­e­la­tory, the detail and sci­en­tific approach do pro­vide depth and grav­i­tas to the aware­ness that grow­ing con­cen­tra­tion of eco­nomic power dom­i­nates the world in which we live.
“Revealed–The Cap­i­tal­ist Network [...]

Reflections on “Occupy Wall Street”: Fascism is Capitalism on Full-Auto

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ October 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

COMMENT: As this soci­ety impacts upon the con­tra­dic­tions stem­ming from a care­fully man­i­cured and dis­torted his­tor­i­cal per­spec­tive, it is inter­est­ing to reflect on the research pre­sented on this web­site.
The true nature of fas­cism (or “the cor­po­rate state” as termed by Mus­solini) has been sys­tem­at­i­cally eclipsed by aca­d­e­mic illu­sions, directed at mis­lead­ing the unin­formed.
No program [...]

Another Sign of the Times: Hungarian Government Implements Forced Labor Program

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 29, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

COMMENT: The right wing gov­ern­ment of Hun­gary con­tin­ues to man­i­fest pro­grams and ide­o­log­i­cal pro­nounce­ments dis­turbingly rem­i­nis­cent of that country’s past–a fas­cist nation allied with the Axis in World War II.
Under the stew­ard­ship of the Arrow Cross orga­ni­za­tion, Hun­gary fought along­side Nazi Ger­many and was an enthu­si­as­tic par­tic­i­pant in Hitler’s social agenda as well.
Now that nation has [...]

“That’s the Way to Do It!”: Fascism, That Is (with apologies to Dire Straits)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 8, 2011 ⋅ One comment

COMMENT: As the U.S. descends into fas­cism, it is worth not­ing how vio­lence directed against the Democ­rats goes unheeded. In Wis­con­sin, the Demo­c­ra­tic We Are Wis­con­sin head­quar­ters was destroyed by fire, shortly before recall elec­tions to neu­tral­ize Tea Party Repub­li­cans were sched­uled. This is a numb­ing con­tin­u­a­tion of the epi­demic of vio­lence directed at [...]

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood advancing Pro-Business Agenda

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 22, 2011 ⋅ 7 comments

COMMENT: Although the Egypt­ian polit­i­cal scene remains in flux, with the elec­tions being delayed (as requested by many sec­u­lar inter­ests involved in the over­throw of Mubarak), the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood is advanc­ing its cor­po­ratist agenda. Recall that the Brotherhood’s eco­nomic the­o­reti­cian–the 14th cen­tury thinker Ibn Khal­dun–is regarded by the World Bank as the first advocate [...]

FTR #747 Bringin’ It All Back Home

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 4, 2011 ⋅ 7 comments

GOP doing to Obama what CIA did to Allende in Chile; Repub­li­cans appear ready to destroy U.S., global economies to gain power; Bush admin­is­tra­tion deficits delib­er­ately struc­tured to force end of New Deal social pro­grams; Tea Party fas­cists pro­vid­ing “boots on the ground” for this effort.

Update on the Piggy-Back Coups and the Muslim Brotherhood

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 3, 2011 ⋅ 5 comments

COMMENT: Con­ser­v­a­tive Frank Gaffney–among the VERY few in this coun­try will­ing to attack Grover Norquist and Karl Rove for their sup­port for the Mus­lim Brotherhood–has  prop­erly exco­ri­ated the Obama admin­is­tra­tion and Hillary Clin­ton for their diplo­matic rap­proche­ment with that Islamic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion.
(I note that the Obama admin­is­tra­tion is sim­ply extend­ing an ini­tia­tive that was [...]

FTR #746 Greek Tragedy

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 27, 2011 ⋅ 8 comments

Urged to “aus­ter­ity,” Greece’s adop­tion of Ger­man pre­scrip­tions made its sit­u­a­tion worse; trapped by the Euro, Greece can nei­ther revalue its cur­rency nor impose tar­iffs to pro­tect domes­tic indus­try; GOP pro­poses the same medecine for the U.S. that Ger­many pre­scribed for Greece.

FTR #744 The Shape of Things to Come

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 13, 2011 ⋅ 19 comments

Pan­ul­ti­mate exam­ple of “off­shore,” the seasted­ding move­ment sees “free­dom and democ­racy” as incom­pat­i­ble. Those left on shore must accept dis­so­lu­tion of pri­vacy, free­dom and, yes, democ­racy. Hedge fund man­agers buy­ing up all arable land in antic­i­pa­tion of eco­nomic and social armageddon.
