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 [...]

The New Germany and The Old Nazis

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

Book writ­ten in 1961 asks: Has Ger­many really changed? If so, where are the hun­dreds of thou­sands who once faith­fully and eagerly served Hitler’s reign of ter­ror? And what is life like today for the Jews who are still in Germany?

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 [...]

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 [...]

Echoes of 11/22/63; 9/11/2001

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 30, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: A mys­tery bil­lion­aire (indi­vid­ual or insti­tu­tion) appears to have placed a $1 Bil­lion bet that the U.S. will lose its AAA rat­ing.
Note that, among the pos­si­ble exe­cu­tion­ers of this deal is PIMCO, the bond-trading sub­sidiary of Allianz, the giant Ger­man insurer which, like all Ger­man core cor­po­ra­tions, is part of the con­sum­mately pow­er­ful, deadly [...]

Now, About Jared [Lee] Laughner . . .

COMMENT: In the wake of the shoot­ing in Ari­zona, many unan­swered (and often unasked) ques­tions sug­gest them­selves. To do jus­tice to the event will require more time and analy­sis than can be put into a Food For Thought post.
Suf­fi­cient analy­sis and dis­cus­sion will nec­es­sar­ily have to wait for a For The Record pro­gram and [...]

Rolling Back the New Deal, Trashing the United States, Roiling International Financial Waters

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Com­ment: The “deficit reduc­tion” pro­pos­als now being pre­sented by the “bipar­ti­san” com­mis­sion on the bud­get are, sim­ply put, a frontal assault on the New Deal, the Amer­i­can peo­ple and the coun­try itself.
For­mer GOP sen­a­tor (Wyoming) Alan Simp­son has sounded a bat­tle cry to gut social secu­rity, raise taxes for the bot­tom 80% of the population, [...]

FTR #726 The Kochtopus: The Tea Party Movement Manifests Classical Fascism

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 4, 2010 ⋅ 7 comments

Koch broth­ers espouse “Cor­po­ratism”, rep­re­sented as “Free­dom”; bil­lion­aire financiers of insti­tu­tions that gen­er­ate GOP pol­icy, Kochs per­vert pub­lic pol­icy to serve their pri­vatge inter­ests; grass roots “Tea Partiers” work­ing against their own interests.
