Depression and Fascism: Krugman’s Analysis

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 22, 2011 ⋅ 13 comments

COMMENT: Although he insists on refrain­ing from using the “F” word for what is tran­spir­ing in Europe, Nobel Prize-winning econ­o­mist Paul Krug­man has noted in a New York Times col­umn that the “aus­ter­ity” mea­sures cham­pi­oned by Ger­many (and also the GOP in the U.S.) and being cur­rently imple­mented, are dri­ving for­ward extreme right pol­i­tics in [...]

Bye, Bye Miss American Pie, er . . . Democracy. Not With a Bang, but a Whimper!

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 20, 2011 ⋅ 6 comments

COMMENT: As noted by blog­ger David Sea­mon, the demise of Amer­i­can democ­racy took place amid the volu­mi­nous, flat­u­lant pon­tif­i­ca­tion of U.S. media pun­dits, a pro­found dis­trac­tion in the event.
With very lit­tle notice from politi­cial or media insti­tu­tions and/or indi­vid­u­als, the National Defense Autho­riza­tion Act has incor­po­rated some fea­tures that would allow the vir­tual elim­i­na­tion of civil [...]

Droning On: Interesting Timing in the Middle East

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 10, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: The appar­ent cap­ture and down­ing by Iran of a U.S. drone air­craft raises a num­ber of inter­est­ing ques­tions.
If the account pre­sented in “Debka” can be believed, the pos­si­bil­ity of some sort of “inside job” is one to be care­fully con­sid­ered. (“Debka” is an intel­li­gence newslet­ter spe­cial­iz­ing in Mid­dle East­ern and Israeli national security [...]

Update on “A Night in Tunisia”

COMMENT: In the long For The Record series deal­ing with Wik­iLeaks and the Piggy-Back Coups in the Mid­dle East, that tor­tu­ous jour­ney began with the coup in Tunisia, believed by some observers to have been trig­gered by the dis­clo­sure of State Depart­ment cables crit­i­cal of the Ben Ali regime.
As noted by the vig­i­lant “Terrafractyl”, [...]

Prominent GOP-Linked Evangelist: God Will Send Hunters (Like Hitler) to Pursue the Jews

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ October 20, 2011 ⋅ 5 comments

COMMENT: Over the years, we’ve cov­ered the pro­found Nazi and fas­cist ele­ments at the foun­da­tion of the Repub­li­can Party. This extrem­ism con­tin­ues to express itself.
Texas GOP Gov­er­nor Rick Perry used “The Response” prayer event to launch his pres­i­den­tial bid. That event promi­nently fea­tured Mike Bickle, head of the Inter­na­tional House of Prayer.
Bickle recently opined [...]

Paul Krugman on European Leaders’ Historical Memory

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ September 26, 2011 ⋅ One comment

COMMENT: New York Times colum­nist and Nobel-Prize-winning econ­o­mist Paul Krug­man weighs in on the think­ing of Euro­pean polit­i­cal lead­ers. (Per­haps one could say Ger­man polit­i­cal lead­er­ship, in that they seem to be call­ing this par­tic­u­lar tune.)
Not­ing that the aus­ter­ity pro­grams being pre­scribed for Euro­zone economies in trou­ble are being linked to mem­ory of the Ger­man inflation [...]

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 [...]

S and P Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating: “Hail Victory” for the SS Kampfgruppe Norquist

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 7, 2011 ⋅ 16 comments

COMMENT: Well, folks, they’ve done it. The GOP’s Tea Party fas­cists (with a gen­er­ous assist from an appar­ently clue­less and def­i­nitely gut­less Barack Obama) have suc­ceeded in caus­ing S & P to down­grade the U.S.‘s credit rat­ing from AAA–the first time in his­tory that this has been done.
In FTR #412, we out­lined the strat­egy of [...]
