The United States neo-fascist?
About us compare now the United States with descriptors were fascists.
1. They are very nationalistic. Often display flags, banners, and pins, and repeating a popular slogan. They often have great pride in the military. Their suspicions of foreign beliefs often border on xenophobia.
We tend to nationalism, and do not consider extreme. Our hypothesis of national exceptionalism dates back all the way back to the Founders. Recently, Obama has comesubject of criticism when he made a statement that seemed to denigrate our exceptional. I believe that exceptionalism is closely linked to fascism, and I assume that, by nature, all fascist states also suppose that the exceptional nature. Although probably not on the scale of Fascist states of origin, we like to show our flag (where I live, is not entirely unusual to see the Confederate flag in front of houses). Back in the days of Operation Desert Storm, it was not unusualsee yellow ribbons everywhere in support of our troops. The pins are most often on the politicians, but a sort of symbol on hats, shirts, or any other thing to note is just so pervasive. We do not have too catchy slogan, but they are certainly a factor in our society, like "America, love it or Leave It", "Buy American", "Made in America by Americans," "You Can Have My Gun When you lift from my Cold, Dead Fingers, "" Support Our Troops "and many others. Considering the pridethe army, which was the basis of our culture, certainly after the Spanish-American War. It took a relatively moderate decline in our misadventure in Vietnam, but most people put more blame the "experts" of the government, but the support of the army is very much alive today. Supporting our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan is overwhelming, and our willingness to pay even higher rates of taxes to support the army has probably something left on the military spending of all othergreat powers combined. Supporting our military gets a strong YES '. Ask the units were much more common than a couple of years ago (think America, love it or leave it), but we still have many different ethnic groups, now that the feeling and the expression unit is probably relatively small compared to the fascist media companies. ethnic unity seems to be particularly high among Mexicans in the Southwest and particularly in Southern California. In general, they encourage teams from Mexico, rather thanHome teams in international sports competitions. I think we are missing when it comes to suspicion of things foreign or xenophobia. The current products have a higher probability of entry from abroad to be manufactured in this country and I do not really see us as very strong on this dimension. Overall, I rate this dimension 8.
2. They minimize human rights, seen as an obstacle to the achievement of the ruling class. Through the skillful use of propaganda, secrecy, denial, andmisinformation of the population accepts almost all violations of human rights.
We lost a lot of human rights. In fact, the government has deprived us of our rights so rapidly and extensively after 9 / 11 we would have to describe our government, as it exists today as definitively fascist, and not return to face 9 / 11 cards in society at all. As presidential candidate Barack Obama has promised to repeal the Patriot Act, but their extension. Obviously, its controller is rolledpromises. It is believed that our government is fanatically determined to take away our rights, Second Amendment gun, through the United Nations, when he could not make progress with our own mechanisms. Not only ordinary citizens accepted so quickly lose the right under the Patriot Act that the vast majority of legislators and law enforcement officials still do not even know all covered by such acts. Unfortunately, I think many of our Guarantee of constitutional rights are gone forever.Overall, I think that these "civil" rights of racial equality under the law, the right of access to public places and schools will remain intact, but the relationship between rulers and ruled is finally back to fascist levels. The government has also been physically intrusive irrational in its search for security. The use of propaganda to justify the loss of rights has been minimal or virtually non-existent, but the government has made extensive use of secrecy, denial, andmisinformation. It must reluctantly rate in our society today and for the foreseeable future as a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.
3. The most important common thread to these systems is the use of scapegoating as a means to divert people's attention from more important issues to blame for failure, and to channel frustration in controlled directions. target scapegoats usually include communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditionalenemies of the nation, members of other religions, lay people, homosexuals and "terrorists."
The Bush administration began using the term "Islamic terrorists", "Islamic fundamentalists", "Islamo-fascism" and similar terms almost before the towers of the World Trade hit the floor. The "war against terrorism" is commonly understood as the terrorist "Islamic." The administration has done as irrational in the extreme, requiring all government agencies to eliminate the term "Islamic"any connection with terrorism and refrain from using the term "war on terror." Probably a case, rather than precise, Obama's actions have been more appropriate since the most recent information indicates that only four Muslims were involved, two professional pilots in each plane. Current theory suggests that the four drivers were Muslims from northern Europe converts to Islam, and there were no separate surveillance tapes .. I would say that they are clean enoughIn this regard, a 6.
4. Militarism and military enthusiast is very welcome. A disproportionate share of national resources was allocated to the military, even when domestic needs were acute. The army is an expression of nationalism, and is widely used to strengthen national goals, intimidate other nations, and increase the power and prestige of the ruling class.
The United States has always been the foundation of fits that description very closely. Generalpublic has always supported and admired the military, but it was not until President Eisenhower warned about the danger that the power of the "military industrial complex" that most Americans have got really aware of the close link between big business and large military. In brief, the public does not seem to make a clear distinction between military and nonmilitary, but I guess everyone will do his duty when called. The army is welcomed, but not particularlyloved it. We certainly rank high on this, probably an 8.
5. Sexism is common, that the political elite and the national culture are dominated by men and women are considered second class citizens. These companies are fiercely anti-abortion and homophobic. draconian laws enjoy strong support from the Orthodox religion, which provide cover for abuses of the governors.
Historically, women were considered second-class citizens, but as a different kind of people. Closepromotes resistance to change, but when women decided they wanted more involvement in the professions and in business and the government have achieved. The role of women is changing, before the Second World War, but with the advent of war and the loss of men at work, women simply moved to where they are needed. The symbol of the definition is Rosie the Riveter, but women have increased in almost seamlessly wherever they are needed. Perhaps the most emblematic example of their ability to do whatever wasArmy needed was the dependence of women on crews for air travel in the United States, England, in the north Atlantic. After the war, many live with their new families, but many remained in business and the professions. Women appear to Congress of any power after the war and important posts, including "female" sectors such as health, education and social services. We have had several female governors, a female running mate who has revealed himselfvery popular with the public and a serious hope for the presidency of women who have lost a man when supported by the "invisible forces" proved extremely popular with voters. Ironically, it was obviously governed less successful than his opponent, he probably would have done. We have had several women cabinet members and ambassadors. One of the major newspapers around the world has been led by a woman, and the fabulous success of E-Bay was founded by a woman. In a society like most of Englandsuccess of the first ministers was a great woman. Women were granted the status of official army general. If we ever were a real sexist society, that time is long past. We are obviously very low ranking on this factor, about 2.
6. Under some regimes, the media are under strict direct control and never deviate from the party line. Other more subtle exercise plans to ensure media orthodoxy. The leaders of the mass media were often politically compatible with the powerelite. The result is generally effective in keeping the public unaware of the excesses of these schemes.
We have always been proud of the freedom of the press, but in reality, the government said it wanted the influence of a "velvet hand." Side asserted its control over the titles and lines guidelines for content, but the press has handled more effective to grant or deny "access" to the media or government sources. Most people in the media largelyshare the political philosophy of government and those tend to reflect the beliefs of those in power. This is especially true of Democrats, who, at least since the Great Depression tended to be relatively liberal. Many media have been very comfortable with that and were more than willing to reflect the views favored by Washington. Some of them are entitled to attend annual meetings of the Bilderberers, almost invisible group of multi-billionaires, in fact, govern alleconomically valuable parts of the world. Dominate the world's economies, and therefore the governments, so that again on both sides during the elections. Either choice is their lackey. Media ownership is so great that the media have deliberately reflects the views of the government, and we generally accept our media put the angle on the events as if they were real news. This does not mean that government is always able to control the media. There are andhave always been the radio and television, magazines, newspapers and other media, with a political opposition in Washington. At the moment, seem to be tolerated by the government. However, if serious doubt on the position of the elite places to be taxed in a hurry, more regulated, limited in their broadcast areas, and problems encountered in the renewal of their licenses. As a result, our media are very closely conform to the views of the government and its controller in the shade, andI would say that we raised, 9, on this factor.
7. Inevitably, a strong national security apparatus was under direct control of the ruling class. Applies kind of oppression, operating in secret, and ignores all the constraints. "National security" justifies anything. Questioning of its activity is considered unpatriotic, even treason.
We rate very high with regard to the obsession with national security, many organizations and national security. Until recently, however, theseorganisms were only slightly oppress the people. This group of agencies metastases relatively benign transactions almost immediately aggressive, violent, or even illegal by the catastrophe of 9 / 11. American citizens were detained in military jails without charge or assistance of lawyers. Agents were provided by "warrant of general application", which legalized almost any organization would continue. Almost everything that was out of the reach of government has beennow easily accessible. The people were in no fly list without explanation and there is no obvious way to get removed. In short, we are now in an almost perfectly with the description of fascism as immediately above. Currently, rate 9.
8. Unlike communist regimes, the fascist regimes protofascist allied with the dominant religion, and often act as defenders of religion that activists. Propaganda supports the illusion that the ruling elites were defenders of the faith and opponents"Sinner". Fight the power elite is equivalent to an attack on religion.
There are many radio stations, independent television stations, websites and magazines of a religious orientation who continue to experience various aspects of government, but their audience is so low that the government ignores general. United States Government is not generally perceived as defenders of the faith. I would say 4.
9. Although the privacy of citizens was under strict control,large companies generally operate in relative freedom. The ruling elite saw the company's structure as a way to ensure that production will not only military but also as an additional means of social control. The members of the economic elite were often pampered by the political elite to ensure a continued mutuality of interests, especially in the repression of the "have-not" citizens.
In reality, it is almost meaningless to speak of "government" and "big business", because the lines are sodissolved and systematically ignored. General approves the purchase of $ 400 toilet seats, and then retire to become a member of the board of directors of at least one international company. The leaders of the major defense companies like Boeing are appointed as Secretary of Defense, incest etc. is mainly that applicants must have a hard time deciding which set of clothes to wear every morning. Although ordinary citizens are not usually manifest in the close, the government and largeCompanies are constantly accumulating almost no information on the public. government departments have repeatedly attempted to force people to submit to identity cards as an official says almost everything known to you for you chips implanted are monitored 24 hours a day. On the other hand, large companies can operate in almost total freedom. In fact, Obama was busy saving companies from their bad management at the expensethe general public. I'd give an 8 we're going to 9 / 10 on this.
10. Since the labor movement is considered the only power center that could challenge the political hegemony of the ruling elite and its corporate allies, it is usually crushed or made powerless. The poor are viewed with suspicion or outright contempt.
Government troops have killed and maimed workers on strike as late as 1940. Until recently, special futuristicly "equipped with special" police "with plastic helmetsarmor masks, body sites critical labor disputes attacked with mace, tazers, cattle prods, clubs and other weapons. Under Obama, however, the movement has been almost totally free hand, and almost got out of control. Some of the credentials of Obama seems poised to make them seem completely illegal. I give it a 5 out of 10 because of the temporary nature of benevolence. This factor certainly should not beThe relationship between the Government of the above at the time.
11. Intellectuals and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression associated with them have rejected such plans. Intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. The government controls the universities and politically unreliable faculty harassed or dismissed. unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed. Underthese regimes of art and literature are required to serve the national interest.
There is no significant effort by the government to suppress or denigrate intellectuals. There is no apparent interest of intellectuals in government one way or another. The picture changes dramatically, however, if we expand intellectuals for advanced sciences. Although scientists are not generally regarded as intelligent intellectual historians, professors of political science, and the authorsThe objectives of governments. In this case, the government can be generous with research funding, access to people (soldiers, prisoners), and the state of the art facilities. Since the emphasis is on government action here historically, I have to give this a 7.
12. Most of these regimes maintained Draconian systems of criminal justice with huge prison populations. The police are very much appreciated, have almost unchecked power, and abuse of general medicine. "Normal" and political crime is oftenmerged into fabricated criminal charges and sometimes used against political opponents. The fear and hatred of criminals or "traitors" is used as an excuse for more police power.
Historically, there has been a very strong culture to perceive and punish criminals by law enforcement, and the abuse was "often" but not "common." The government seems content with the activities of official agencies for law enforcement. The FBI under Hoover approached or met this standard,especially as regards the identification of the communists and organized crime. The execution was very active during Prohibition, and was very motivated in the war against drugs (some say it is because the law the same question a non-profit), but n is not necessary for motivation of the government. The upper levels of the three branches seem content to let the law enforcement agencies continue without motivation from above. Since 9 / 11 law enforcement has been almost fanatical "terrorists"Although civilian professionals say there is virtually no chance of taking a "professional terrorists" before they strike. The country is too porous, the police must always be aware of the minorities in order to avoid the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union and the volume of material of any kind in the country every day to make the instruments of mass destruction detection almost impossible to stop . You do not need any extra motivation from the highest levels of government. Congressalways been very willing to criminalize all sorts of activities dating back to the early days of the country, and has adopted many laws relating to sanctions without consensual crime or crime victims, including the use of drugs, and severe and excessive. For example, the cultivation of marijuana almost always results in ten years 'imprisonment' manifestly excessive. sexual crimes against children deserve severe punishment, even death in some states. Our prisons are, in fact, severely overcrowdedto the point, in some states that prisoners are housed in tents. It 's true that pre-9/11 police were seen in a favorable light, with the popular television series "cop". However, police did not have unlimited power but often acted illegally by means of relatively minor, such as exceeding their authority in the search for drugs in a routine traffic stop. The public has rarely made an issue of such minor offenses. However, after the application of Law 9 / 11 has become very very aggressive andlack of public respect. For example, to arrest a person accused of domestic violence are often rough and ridiculous to give the suspect in the research and control of the person, who would almost always be obedient to the police car without the close and difficult handling. Safety standards are very strict now, and the public involves all law enforcement with more zeal and action of hostile attitudes of screeners at the airport, etc. Except for the too severesanctions imposed by Congress, the most obsessive behavior occurs at lower levels, not because of attacks by the highest levels of government. Since the basic motivation does not seem to come from the highest levels of government, I would give this high of 7, but given the lack of control over law enforcement, I have to go 8.
13. Business circles and close to the power elite often used their position to enrich themselves. This corruption in both directions, the powerelite receive financial gifts and property from the economic elite, who in turn have the benefit of government favoritism. The members of the ruling class able to obtain vast wealth from other sources, as well as in the theft of national resources. By national security under control and muzzled the media corruption and coercion is not very understandable for the general population.
This certainly applies to our government. indirect evidence for this is thatcampaigns often spend millions to elect a certain person for a job officially pay about $ 150,000. Obviously, such an investment is made in the hope that funds will be huge political donors to the road once in power. Observers have questioned for decades, the "revolving door" between the Pentagon and other government institutions and large companies, but there is no effort to stop because those who should take action s' expect to benefit from the system alonein the future. American practice is slightly different from the description above, since the public is well aware of the practice, but have no way to eliminate the system because the system are involved. wrong actions are sometimes taken the right to honor the public. In a recent attempt to pass a law on public health major and unprecedented, president of the United States in significant bribes for lawmakers to support his program. For example, a senator has publicly promised one hundredmillion euro for a hospital in return for his vote, and appointed the brother of one of exclusion to the federal judiciary. The public knows that corruption is endemic, but usually occurs out of public view. Many people have a public "promise to clean things up." office lot, if not, these promises were sincere. But the newly-elected politicians run smack against the system that controls its members in a multitude of ways. L 'These include office andoffice staff, appointment of committees (some are always in the spotlight, some of the public has never heard of), the post, and so on, until the newcomer gets to know his own place. There is no "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", not more. Toe the mark, or serve only one term. Initially I gave it a 9, but with the arrival of Obamacide on the scene, is now definitely rate of 10 strong.
14.Bogus elections in the form of plebiscites or public opinion pollsare common. When elections are held the real power elite always get the desired result. Common methods included maintaining control of electoral machinery, intimidating and disenfranchising opposition voters, destroying or reject legal votes, and, ultimately, turning to a judiciary beholden to the power elite.
voter fraud exists, and everyone knows exists, but is more frequent, or rather evident in some parts of the country. For example, fraud in Chicagois well known, and allegations of fraud appears to occur more frequently in the South than in the whole country, but the practice is undoubtedly a national level. In a recent election, members of the New Black Panthers threatened in uniform potential white voters and discouraged some people from voting at all. The Department of Justice has established the guilt of those involved, had the case wrapped up except for some definitive measure, but our president openly blocked any penalty. The votes aredestroyed or canceled for one reason or another more or less regularly. In the 2000 elections described above, each party has sought to reject the card by mail of the members of the army. In the same election votes were almost identical for the candidates, but were slightly in favor of Democrats. The Republican, whose brother was governor of the state, has managed to get the case before the attorney general, who ruled in favor of Republicans. It 'been aRepublic. As you may recall, the Constitution provides that the House of Representatives will resolve these contested elections, but it is concluded, the Supreme Court in place. He said the Republican winner. After the fraudulent elections take place regularly in this country, I will give this factor of 9.
So how can we general? The calculator gives a 7. What does this tell us? Mathematically, a 7 to indicate that there are just above the average over fascism. But it is a bit 'misleading, because it tended to be significantly higher or lower, not "between" implies that the 7. Self-knowledge about trends rather than a photograph that seems more useful for us, to use my review on the trend, and assuming that the geopolitical aspects maintain their current trajectory, I would say that we are moving towards a fascist state Typical . Before Obama took office, in fact, I would have expected out of a tendency towards fascism, but Obama didmaintain the trend towards more fascism Bush. The only notable difference is the servile position against Obama in Big unionism. Obama's reign will be a little 'more moderate trend towards fascism, but I do not really see what the trend is changing.
The real purpose of the disaster at the World Trade Center was to enable the world's elite almost done with the constitution, which they succeeded. The Patriot Acts, Military Commissions Act, and numerous other restrictions on usbecome de-facto constitution. The determination of Obama and Clinton to abolish the possession of weapons by the United Nations is absolutely necessary to defeat the popular insurgency once the public understands that 9 / 11 was not an idea of the terrorists in patients with caves in Afghanistan, but a government moves designed by the elite worldwide. Islamic terrorists are not involved four professional pilots who crashed planes into the buildings. They do not resembleterrorists because they did not have the characteristics of the Middle East, which has been converted, because they were the Northern Europeans, who like all plans. The planes were just to add drama to the production, they have a lot of fire and smoke, but had nothing to do with the collapse.
And, speaking of the collapse, the terrorists should have done all the damage the United States and the morale of Americans are concerned about manipulating the explosions and the towers fall into their footstepscausing almost no collateral damage? The collateral damage would have been a blessing for the real terrorists. So who are the real terrorists? According to my information there are only four or five organizations around the world who could have drawn the collapse of the way he did. One of them is Israel. They have done? Who knows? What possible reason could do something like this to a friend? First, the governments of the world has no real allies, but only temporarily useful regime.Think "Friends" who have left recently. Turkey. Brazil. Iran (it is a bit '.) I need to check the rest. Think of the enemies who have become "friends." England. Mexico. Spain. Germany. Japan. Russia? Italy.
Returning to the reason why Israel could have designed 9 / 11. Not the United States to save them, without taking into account the atrocities, Israel is the story. It is not Israel's nuclear weapons, which prevent the Islamic world at bay. For Muslims, death fightingIsrael is good. The power of the United States makes things under control. But there is growing evidence that some people ask why we give Israel billions every year, while Obama lead us to failure. Other readers are reading more and more the true relationship between Israel and Islam. According to reports, the Palestinians have made several proposals that seemed reasonable enough, but something always stopped the acceptance by Israel. Horror of horrors, Americans increasinglywonder how long this will continue constant bloodshed. Americans increasingly are asking, "Why are Islamic countries our enemies? Seem OK to me." In other words, if the theory, the Israelis felt the American group with them has been slowly drifting. But because the American sanctions, or see the horror? "I told you so. Eighty people, more or less, known as the Bilderberg, who runs the world largely due to the transfer of money here and there tired ofwe expect the collapse of our stupidity and decided to move forward towards a world government. You think it's crazy? Me too Then I started reading, and reading, and showed the video in my class who gave as people like Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Rothschild, Morgan, and others run thighs. This is the hardest part. Their goal is to place their corporate governance standards in all governments, and then dominate the world. Note: I call them state-owned enterprisesinstead of big business because business is simply not enough to describe this money empires. It would be like saying that a hang glider and a Boeing 757 are the two aircraft. It would be true, but meaningless. So, they see their corporate governance to all the governments of the ordinary world, their states, provinces, either. Member States would deal effectively with people! Do you really want to be officially under the thumb of the world's richest (and crazy) people?
What does this meanto do with fascism? This means that they would not have to do with the constitution, human rights, all that nonsense. So, I think, fairly well informed about 9 / 11 was the first step, and our government has been in the game.
