General Francisco Franco May NOT Be So Dead, After All
In addition to its aggressive, nationalistic stance toward the British territory of Gibraltar, Spain has been manifesting elements of its fascist past. Mariano Rajoy’s People’s Party incorporated much of the cadre of Francisco Franco’s Falange. With social unrest growing from Spain’s dire economic straits, that fascist heritage is evident in that country’s present political landscape.
The New World Ordoliberalism Part 2: A ‘Third Way’ to Fascism
Ordoliberalism has long been the economic philosophy guiding German policy-makers. But with the creation of the eurozone, ordoliberalism has quietly become the default policy-stance for the entire zone. This has been happening with little recognition that ordoliberal ideas have been playing such a profound role. And there’s been even less attention paid to the ordoliberal philosophy itself. Surprise! It’s kind of fascist. Updated 7/26/2013
Ratzinger Leaves the Ship
A caretaker Pope, Benedict XVI presided over numerous inquiries into Vatican malfeasance. His resignation raises the question as to what will follow. Steeped in the Vatican’s long-standing relationship with fascism, the outgoing Pope presided over a whitewash of Pius XII’s involvement with the Third Reich and a blunting of inquiries into the molestation scandals unfolding around the world.
Making the World Safe From Democracy, One Charter City at a Time
If you’re a Libertarian billionaire that was looking forward to creating your own privately managed “Free City” from a seriously distressed country — a city free from things like democracy — things may be looking up for you....
Imagine, “Morsi Is a Textbook Islamic Fascist”: I Told You So, Part 3 (Democracy, Muslim Brotherhood Style, Part 3)
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.”
Terminator V: The machines want your job.
In a fun change of pace, we’re going to have a post that’s light on excerpts and heavy on ranty linkiness. That might not actually be fun but it’s not like there’s a robot standing over your shoulder forcing you to read this. Yet.
That 30’s Show
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.
“Austerity” Equals Fascism, Part I: The Republicans are Nazis
Descended from political/economic interests that supported Hitler, tried to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt and did kill JFK, the GOP manifests the heritage of decades of covert operations that brought Third Reich veterans into the American political mainstream. The upcoming election may determine the fate of our civilization.
Getting in Dutch: The Third Reich and the Royal Family of the Netherlands (“A Prince Too Far”)
Generations of the Netherlands’ Royal Family link to the Third Reich and its postwar manifestations. Prince Bernhard was SS, an IG Farben spy and a traitor to the Allied Cause. Was he “the Traitor of Arnhem?”
Memorial Day Post: The Past Isn’t Dead and Buried, It Isn’t even Past
As America remembers its dead from fallen wars, it is incumbent upon us to remember what caused those wars, and for what ideals our soldiers fought. The political and economic forces that precipitated World War II are only too much with us today, and the commentary by Dorothy Thompson and James Stewart Martin has never been more relevant.
