The deputy editor of a major online magazine spent time in a weekly podcast explaining how the style of Senator Barack Obama shares much in common with the speech of fascist dictators like Benito Mussolini.
"That's slightly fascistic," David Plotz, the deputy editor at Slate.com said in the magazine's weekly podcast when one of his fellow editors brought up Obama's style. "That's a very, like, let's rally the nation. I don't want to be rallied."
You'd think that an editor at a major news outlet would understand what "fascist" really meant.
Then again, maybe we shouldn't be surprised.
What's humorous is that I looked up Fascist on answers.com and in the thesaurus section they had:
Antonyms: fascist
n, adjDefinition: authoritarian
Antonyms: democrat, liberal
It seems that people have forgotten the difference between genuine inspiration by our leaders and blind allegiance to sick causes.
Well, Partisan Hack: I agree with you on a particular disturbing aspect of Amerikan Politics. I just posted Counterpunch 's article by Joshua Frank about MOVE ON'S ENDORSEMENT OF OBAMA, respresenting no real change. Here is the parallel link between you and I. A failure in ideology, history, allows people to focus on phony populism, that is in fact "fascistic". If you have most of the middle class clueless about history and ideology, one can easily substitute symbols, like flag, race, or whatever, to pretend a false unity, that in the end supports corporate fascism, imperial policies, proxy thugs, without having to look at the specific failures of either middel class deformation, which willingly substitutes Bush's "democracy", for corporate imperial fascism, as Hitler's "socialism:" hides also the same class state and its criminal policies, under its corporate fascist state.
A look at Obama statement by Joshua Frank, on Counterpunch, does raise the issue which you raise, why and how so many people are willingly relgious, and delusional about appearances, charisma, over the hard facts, and statements of an appeasing class mercenary, who in fact has more in common with both Bush and Hillary, then he does with the phony words of "change."
By the way Fuehrer means leader, or "Commander in Chief" for corporate Amerikan ffascism.
Eric,
You seem to accept everything about democracy except democracy itself. Let the people decide who they want. Sometimes we get boneheads like Bush, other times we get geniuses. No "ism" of politics will erase the need for good leadership in any event. Elitist intellectual nihilism is as corrosive as corporate fascism.
America is a pastiche of elites, middle class, the working poor and the truly poor all having their one voice in the outcome of this election. The elites have more power to communicate their desires, but short of corruption at the polls they do not have the ability to vote any more than the poor. I am afraid that the solution is accepting that all will have their say - even people not like us or like our ideal.
Do you mean to imply that answers.com's definition of Fascist implicates Democrats and Liberals as fascists? I will hope that your response was simply vague. Because an ANTONYM, for those that may have read your response and came to incorrect conclusions, is the OPPOSITE of something.
The antonym of fascist IS indeed Democrat and Liberal, because Democratic and Liberal ideals are 180 degrees opposite those of fascist ideals (which are more in line with modern American Republicanism).
After re-reading your comment, Partisan Hack, I realized I came to the wrong conclusion on its intent. First impressions aren's always right. =)
For those of you all who apparently do not know the definition of fascism and are willing to just accept that it is the opposite of liberalism, I have a hefty dose of enlightenment.
Fascism is not partisan. It is not the opposite of liberalism, nor the opposite of conservatism. It is in fact, a totalitarian (word invented by Mussolini, inventor of Fascism) regime, whether democratically elected or not. The problem, Partisan Hack, with thinking that elections are fair because everyone gets to vote, is that most people are stupid, and vote based on emotional responses to media sound bytes. (When is the last time you studied how our country is run? Probably not in awhile, or you wouldn't be so caught up in Partisan Hack-ing. There are bigger issues than just "Oh he's a liberal" or "He's a republican." Don't forget to think mr Hack.)
If you think Obama has no fascist elements, you know NOTHING about fascism. We don't need just a "great leader." For you nondiscriminating types who apparently haven't been paying attention, Hitler and Mussolini were both "Great Leaders." That is, great at convincing the masses that they should lead. This characteristic is something that all fascist leaders have and embody. Obama is also a "Great Leader." But not only that, he stands for statism, which is synonomous with fascism to some degree. He wants people to unify around the state to the extent that they give up individual freedoms for the good of the whole. (the good of the whole, of course, would be determined by him and his cabinet and his house and senate majorities and his soon to be court majority.)
So mr Hack, next time you want to base an argument for such an exceedingly complex topic as fascism, please do yourself a favor and search a little deeper than "answers.com," which, interestingly enough, didn't even provide a definition, only a synonym.
Educate before you opinionate, else you will be labeled a fool!!!
He says "I don't want to be rallied" and I know the feeling - they used to force us to attend pep rallies in my high school and let me tell you, that was totally fascistic.
Have the Obama people started rounding people up and trucking them to his speeches? No? Okay then - false alarm.
Exactly, Obama does not go for that kind of enforced enthusiasm. Republican rallies have been known for their careful screening of people attending them, they want to make sure only the purely fanatical are present. THAT's fascism, the unwillingness to allow people to listen from their own perspectives. There's a difference between being forced to be enthusiastic and becoming enthusiastic based on inspiring speech.
I suspect that Obama's detractors will use every fear-mongering tactic that they can dig up to make people afraid of him. And if that doesn't work, they'll do worse, I am sure.
He says "I don't want to be rallied" and I know the feeling - they used to force us to attend pep rallies in my high school and let me tell you, that was totally fascistic.
I feel your pain. Every time the school fight song played, I was tempted to to the hand gesture and scream "MEIN FEHRUR!"
:|
"Republican rallies are know for this"? Certainly not Clintons though, or Kerrys or al-Gores, or even the hoards of special interest groups clamoring for money, favors, special rights, and legitimization.
As for 'fascism' I figure the majority don't even know what it means anymore, it having been thrown around with the same casualness as Nazi, Dictator, Holocaust, Corporate greed, whatever and ever...on it goes
show me the evidence..
we have plenty on bush's
help me grow smarter
Link me blue.
Its one thing to say clinton did it too.. it's another thing to actually back some of that up.
There is a link between Partisan Hack's slate article to fascism, and Obama, and my Counterpunch article from Joshua Frank, about the role of massive ideological and historical failures, to phony populism, phony messages, of "change". Of course most Liberals and Conservatives cannot believe that such deformed ideology would in fact capitulate to corporate fascism, imperial policies. The Weimar history proves this false theory in a massive way, as it was the class liberals, so called "socialists", phony socialists, who were like the democrats, appeasers to corporate fascism, and played into the hands of class dictatorship.
Anyone willing to take the extra step to read Partisan hack's interesting question, phony populism, playing into the hands of corporate fascism, should then read my seed on Counterpunch, and Obama's capitualtion to Bush' fascist corporate, imperial policies, including Israel's Zionism, our AIPAC, Israeli corrupt corproate lobby, and compare Obama' statements to the Weimar regime. Mykola needs to see beyond appearances, and realize how substiuttion works, phony ideological links works, especially by a deformed middle class, lacking in either ideological clarity, or history, much like the so called "high culture" of German liberalism. We have learned nothing.
What will the liberals do if Israel decides to nucke or attack Iran??? The democrats have already proven they are loyal Bush aggressors, when it comes to defending Zionism, another virulent form of class imperial nationalism, that no one wants to confront. Obama 's statement at AIPAC are not reassuring, and the appearance of a black face for corporate fascism, or Zionism can reproduce another aggression, another Holocaust, another disaster, based our many delusions.
(Recopied from Celstina seed....all relevant in these linked issues.)
If he's calling Obama fascist because he rallies people, then many of our great presidents - JFK, Roosevelt, Reagan - could also be called fascist. Our nation needs a good damn waking up from their sheepish slumber. A call to want your civil liberties back - how fascist.
If he's calling Obama fascist because he rallies people
See, he's not, though, he's just comparing styles of speech - that is, that the speeches are fascistic in nature, but not necessarily the man, although he does come dangerously close to that point:
That's not to say, I don't, I still support him, but I don't like that fascistic, I like him not for the fascistic elements of his candidacy, which I think are profound.
So he's saying this is an element he doesn't much like (whoever likes everything about a candidate is either in love or denial, for the most part, IMHO), but still supports him (which could be a cover-up or back-peddle - I don't know, I don't read Slate).
I can be a little spooky when you get 300 million on the same page for anything, to be sure, but I'd say getting our nation on the same page about getting back to democracy and rule via the Constitution is a good thing.
Heh, the guy's point is that Obama is unifying a sort of quasi-patriotic fervor behind him. The fact that ya'll are snapping at this guy's comments is kinda testament to his point - I acknowledge that Obama has a nice message, ya'll, but aren't you defeating the point if you act like a pack in defense of him when someone makes this kind of observation?
Mykola,
I think that this is a pretty even-headed exchange on this, nobody's calling him a doo-doo head or suggesting that Obama is the Second Coming. The author just doesn't seem to be applying the term very accurately. Whether this is contemplated or just garden-variety cynicism I don't know, but clearly someone who is focused on a (lower-case) democratic and liberal view of the world cannot be termed a fascist.
Well, his observation is just wrong, though. Why shouldn't that be pointed out?
Not every stirring oratory is fascistic. Not every call for unity is either. Fascist speeches typically call for national unity of a "true" people against an external or internal threat, which the "true" people are superior to. I don't see any any of those themes running through Obama's speech. That means the editor just doesn't know what he's talking about, and using inflammatory language to boot.
Actually he IS a doo doo head... :)
Fascist is rapidly becoming the most wrongly used word in the American language.
Jonah Goldberg's book "Liberal Fascism" (speaking of oxymorons) was placed on Amazon under the "parody" category. Liberalism may be many things, but by its definition it's not fascism.
It's kinda hard to defend Plotz when
Plotz had acknowledged that he has not, in fact, attended any Obama speeches.
He thinks it's "fascistic" (is that a word anyway? talk about mealymouthed) because he sees crowds cheering on the tv screen and it reminds him of when he rented Triumph of the Will.
Now, I will admit that I haven't been to an Obama rally myself, so I can't speak from experience, but the people these pictures don't look to me like mindless goose stepping morons.
Fascist speeches typically call for national unity of a "true" people against an external or internal threat, which the "true" people are superior to.
As if we aren't told every single day, but just about every politician, that American isn't the City on the Hill, a Beacon, and The Greatest Country on Earth. Also, a quibble, but I'd replace "people" with "nation", in your example, but that's just my preference.
Having actually attended an Obama rally - until it started to rain and we decided to get grub at Threadgill's - I can attest that, at the time, and from what I heard, he wasn't rallying the nation precisely, no. Nevertheless I found it boring beyond belief - which I suppose could be a hallmark of fascist speeches? (Just kidding - mostly).
Dear lord I shouldn't post while distracted, and should double-check my posts, to boot.
As if we aren't told every single day, but just about every politician, that American isn't the City on the Hill, a Beacon, and The Greatest Country on Earth.
Context matters a lot, but in most of the contexts I've seen the first two, particularly, it seems in character not fascistic. The reason is that striving to be an example to the world is not the same as seeing the world as subservient or innately inferior. One seeks to share "enlightenment" among equals (setting aside for the moment the presumption of that view), and the other seeks to subjugate.
Context matters a lot
Context does matter, and clearly it's pretty much every politician whose trotted out those tired lines, but I have to say I do detect a fascist streak in the American psyche - and frankly it's both a) served us well, and b) been counterbalanced by a populist streak. But still, I think it's there.
We'll see how such rhetoric plays out when the context is one in which China has worldwide primacy and we're grasping at straws. What we now dismiss as just so many words may blossom into the thing we fear most.
To go on something of a tangent....
I like Obama, but his rallies do remind me of that of a fascist leader's. He speaks in broad terms about very general things, and people just go insane for it and eat up every word. That said, the last thing I'd call Obama is a fascist. I think that what we've seen is a result of fantastic speaking leaders that him and fascist leaders share.
I would say that he is a great orator - and knows it -- and that quality has the ability to stir up the masses, especially those who are easily swayed (and most people are).
This quality is similar to the oratories and speeces given by fascist leaders in the past, but that doesn't make him a fascist. If he gets elected, only time will tell us whether or not he is one based on how he governs.

I completely agree, I am for Obama perhaps it's his ability to unite many minds and focus them on a positive goal and if that is the reason I understand why one would call him a fascist. He's a great public speaker and speaking on ideals and to compare him to Benito Mussolini...ally of Hitler I guess it is something to fear, that is a powerful statement. That is why we have to put a person we trust in power.
Partisan Hack smells the odor of misplaced populism, distorted ideologies, class appeasement, and phony choices. It does lead to corporate fascism, whether the Weimar road, that then led to the Hitler road. But in all cases, it is an ideological failure.
Anyone interested in a similar article written by a Newsviner, making the same arguments I am made, and supporting Partisan Hacks instincts, you should check out CyreGray's article on my seed. He deserves a more serious look. We can all get smarter here....some of us even agree with conservative instincts, even though Partisan Hack feels threatened by my embrace. The issue is one of parallel links, which I often make, such as linking apparatchiks, bureacratic deformed middle layers to the deformed class elites and their class hieararchies. There is a reason for this parallel agreement with Partisan Hack, even if he is not willing to acknowledge my support for his position.
Yo momma so fascistic she make Hitler look socialistic.
While wouldn't jump on the fascist Obama bandwagon just yet I don't think it's a non-possibility. Consider the history of the Vietnam war, disceptocrat or republicon, both continued the war. We can expect the same this time around, and if the anti-war people and hopping on the Obama bandwagon I have some sad news for them: he's not anti-war.
PH - do you really believe we still live in a democracy? As far as I can tell we've been living in an oligarchy since they killed JFK. There's also a plethora of evidence to suggest the 'elections' we've been having have been rigged time and time again. Go beyond that and look at the world today - we see evidence that psychopaths are in power, pulling the strings in media, industry, finance, and politics. The evidence suggests our world is ruled by those who lack the most evolved of human functions: a conscience. Until we wake up to this reality nothing can change.
cyregray,
I am not denying that the oil/war machine has had a heavy hand on the tiller since JFK, the oligarchy has reduced the willpower of the American people to fight for their own best interests. But I do believe that although change will not come as radically as some would want or as quickly as some would want that we are on the verge of some real change in the U.S.
I went through your article, I am afraid that there appears to be a fair amount of distortion of Obama's record in it. I don't think that he's perfect, but all things being equal I think that we stand a far better chance of implementing more positive change for the global economy via Obama than Clinton. Clinton will just continue global corporate exploitation unchecked. Look at the funding, who's funding who. It says it all.
At the end of the day we have to recognize that there's going to be a long, long road back to a healthy democracy in America. It is going to take the education of a new generation, new attitudes towards wealth and what constitutes well-being - none of these happen overnight. Democracy is about choices: I think that the American people have had some very compelling choices this year. I agree that Obama is more conservative than some people understand, but it's a big, complex country - I think that he's up to the task.
I went through your article, I am afraid that there appears to be a fair amount of distortion of Obama's record in it.
I'd love to see this backed up with some evidence, feel free to comment on the article, if there's some flaw I'd like to investigate it myself. The truth is what I'm after.

Clinton will just continue global corporate exploitation unchecked. Look at the funding, who's funding who. It says it all.
I don't disagree, but to me, Obama vs Clinton is like McCain vs Clinton - it's not a real choice. The only candidate I could support ideologically is Ron Paul, and I plan on voting for him even if i have to write him in.
At the end of the day we have to recognize that there's going to be a long, long road back to a healthy democracy in America.
Honestly, I don't think we have that much time. We need to become aware of pathology, and how it infects governments, and then spread that knowledge and awareness as fast as possible.
Tell the rubes what they want to hear and then we will put the screws to them. Populist cliches with a preacher man delivery is the typical way to sell very bad politicians with very bad policies and profiting very bad people - like the warbuckers behind all of the major candidates.
They couldn't let us have one anti-war candidate and you want to trust the candidates they offer us?
Whoever wins will make Bush look good.
Funny how the MSM doesn't say anything about Obama's intentions concerning invading Iran and Pakistan. Skull and Bones probably will make a lot more money if their man gets elected.
To hack we don't live in a democracy WE Live in a Republic
the difference one upholds freedom of individuals-rebuplic
the other upholds the majority idea of what the majority deem is freedom-democracy!
I don't think we have a term to describe the primary force taking over American politics. I prefer the term corportism, meaning that corporations have turned the American government into a tool of their collective power. Obama does have a preacher like quality to his oratory.

Excellent post Colonel Ray. This is what I was warning Newsvine readers about in this article I wrote saying they should not vote for Obama just to feel like they're "making history.
This link shows chelsie with an upside down cross on bill with a Osiris pendant and hitlery displaying a flag with inverted stars. Yup in your face satanist.

Google:veterans against john McCain and then Google the mancherian candidate John McCain.Yup he is a traitor and a coward.Bought and paid for by the synagogue of Satan.
On pg. 76, of Rabbi Jack Moline's book GROWING UP JEWISH, we read:
"For years, anti-Semites have accused Jews of controlling Congress, and for years it has been denied. Ironically, as of 1984, the Jews do control Congress. A recent survey of the 435 representatives, shows that for all practical purposes, 219 are practicing Jews. Interestingly, twelve members of the Black Congressional Caucus are Ethiopian Jews. On the Senate side, an astounding 62 out of 100 Senators identify themselves as Jews." (What he means by this I am not sure; possibly that they are Christian Zionists who vote the straight Zionist ticket every time - ED).
Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2007
Washington, DC –Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2007 list of Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians." The list, in alphabetical order, includes:
1. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): In addition to her long and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 – and rightly so – for blocking the release her official White House records. Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007, Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint against Senator Clinton for filing false financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate (again). And Hillary's top campaign contributor, Norman Hsu, was exposed as a felon and a fugitive from justice in 2007. Hsu pleaded guilt to one count of grand theft for defrauding investors as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.
2. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI): Conyers reportedly repeatedly violated the law and House ethics rules, forcing his staff to serve as his personal servants, babysitters, valets and campaign workers while on the government payroll. While the House Ethics Committee investigated these allegations in 2006, and substantiated a number of the accusations against Conyers, the committee blamed the staff and required additional administrative record-keeping and employee training. Judicial Watch obtained documentation in 2007 from a former Conyers staffer that sheds new light on the activities and conduct on the part of the Michigan congressman, which appear to be at a minimum inappropriate and likely unlawful. Judicial Watch called on the Attorney General in 2007 to investigate the matter.
3. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID): In one of the most shocking scandals of 2007, Senator Craig was caught by police attempting to solicit sex in a Minneapolis International Airport men's bathroom during the summer. Senator Craig reportedly "sent signals" to a police officer in an adjacent stall that he wanted to engage in sexual activity. When the police officer showed Craig his police identification under the bathroom stall divider and pointed toward the exit, the senator reportedly exclaimed 'No!'" When asked to produce identification, Craig presented police his U.S. Senate business card and said, "What do you think of that?" The power play didn't work. Craig was arrested, charged and entered a guilty plea. Despite enormous pressure from his Republican colleagues to resign from the Senate, Craig refused.
4. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA): As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on military construction, Feinstein reviewed military construction government contracts, some of which were ultimately awarded to URS Corporation and Perini, companies then owned by Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum. While the Pentagon ultimately awards military contracts, there is a reason for the review process. The Senate's subcommittee on Military Construction's approval carries weight. Sen. Feinstein, therefore, likely had influence over the decision making process. Senator Feinstein also attempted to undermine ethics reform in 2007, arguing in favor of a perk that allows members of Congress to book multiple airline flights and then cancel them without financial penalty. Judicial Watch's investigation into this matter is ongoing.
5. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY): Giuliani came under fire in late 2007 after it was discovered the former New York mayor's office "billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons…" ABC News also reported that Giuliani provided Nathan with a police vehicle and a city driver at taxpayer expense. All of this news came on the heels of the federal indictment on corruption charges of Giuliani's former Police Chief and business partner Bernard Kerik, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to accepting a $165,000 bribe in the form of renovations to his Bronx apartment from a construction company attempting to land city contracts.
6. Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: "[Huckabee's] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor's office." And what was Governor Huckabee's response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.
7. I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby: Libby, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was sentenced to 30 months in prison and fined $250,000 for lying and obstructing the Valerie Plame CIA leak investigation. Libby was found guilty of four felonies -- two counts of perjury, one count of making false statements to the FBI and one count of obstructing justice – all serious crimes. Unfortunately, Libby was largely let off the hook. In an appalling lack of judgment, President Bush issued "Executive Clemency" to Libby and commuted the sentence.
8. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): A "Dishonorable Mention" last year, Senator Obama moves onto the "ten most wanted" list in 2007. In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin "Tony" Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company's shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.
9. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who promised a new era of ethics enforcement in the House of Representatives, snuck a $25 million gift to her husband, Paul Pelosi, in a $15 billion Water Resources Development Act recently passed by Congress. The pet project involved renovating ports in Speaker Pelosi's home base of San Francisco. Pelosi just happens to own apartment buildings near the areas targeted for improvement, and will almost certainly experience a significant boost in property value as a result of Pelosi's earmark. Earlier in the year, Pelosi found herself in hot water for demanding access to a luxury Air Force jet to ferry the Speaker and her entourage back and forth from San Francisco non-stop, in unprecedented request which was wisely rejected by the Pentagon. And under Pelosi's leadership, the House ethics process remains essentially shut down – which protects members in both parties from accountability.
10. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV): Over the last few years, Reid has been embroiled in a series of scandals that cast serious doubt on his credibility as a self-professed champion of government ethics, and 2007 was no different. According to The Los Angeles Times, over the last four years, Reid has used his influence in Washington to help a developer, Havey Whittemore, clear obstacles for a profitable real estate deal. As the project advanced, the Times reported, "Reid received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Whittemore." Whittemore also hired one of Reid's sons (Leif) as his personal lawyer and then promptly handed the junior Reid the responsibility of negotiating the real estate deal with federal officials. Leif Reid even called his father's office to talk about how to obtain the proper EPA permits, a clear conflict of interest.

America In The Crosshairs
Of A Cultural Timebomb
By Frosty Wooldridge
12-17-7
As you watch your TV each night, do you appreciate America's future sociological upheavals taking place before your eyes--today? For the most part, Americans don't bat an eyelash. As long as it doesn't bother them today, it's someone else's problem.
Los Angeles, California explodes with gang violence, 3.1 million illegal aliens,$38 billion debt, hospitals bankrupting, schools overrun and prisons exploding with Mexican criminals-but Americans go about their business as if it doesn't affect them.
It stupefies me that my neighbors in Denver, Colorado watch gang murders in our city each week without uttering a word. Drunken illegal migrants kill our citizens, but the local papers hide that fact in daily reports-on the guise of avoiding finger pointing at particular ethnic groups.
How grave must violence become before we garner the guts to confront objective facts? Do all minority groups merit immunity as our nation falls into lawless chaos? How does this serve our society?
Our Governor Ritter, while Colorado's district attorney, allowed seasoned drug and sex offenders off with 'criminal trespass' so they wouldn't be deported-but never told Colorado citizens. Many of them killed Coloradans after release. We feature 500,000 illegals in Colorado leeching into our schools and obtaining free breakfasts, lunches and welfare. Anchor babies stress our hospitals while illegals explode our prison population. Your state reflects similar statistics commensurate to your illegal alien population.
We Americans stagger into the night as we continue toward a cliff. Our presidential candidates continue dancing around the illegal immigration crisis. Huckabee continues his 'hucksterism' while Obama thinks 20 million of them pick lettuce. Hillary sprints away from every question as to her solutions. Notice how the main stream media marginalizes Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter by ignoring their answers to this nation-destroying issue. All the while, their 'pick' for president rides high in the polls.
We remain in the cross-hairs of a cultural time-bomb that already exploded in Europe. Their legal immigrants from poverty stricken regions in Africa and the Middle East accelerate social chaos, isolation, language separation and poverty. Harsh facts show them not assimilating into host countries. Multiculturalism and diversity prove a nightmare for Europeans.
In a report profiling our country's dilemma: "Glimpse into America's Future", December 7, 2007, Dave Gibson reported, "Once again massive riots have taken place in a Paris suburb which is populated with North African and Arab immigrants. Over the past week, over 100 police officers have been injured as thugs hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails, and fired shotguns at them.
"The accidental death of two black teenagers last week touched off riots. The Moroccan and Senegalese immigrants ran their motorcycle into a police car and were killed instantly. Neither of them wore a helmet. In 2005, it was also the death of two teenaged African immigrants who were electrocuted as they attempted to hide from police in an electrical substation, which touched off riots.
"The recent violence in Villiers-Le-Bel, France was reminiscent of the 2005 riots when North African and Arab immigrants rampaged for three weeks in 274 French cities and towns. During that period, 126 police officers and firefighters were injured, 9,000 vehicles were burned as well as many buildings, and the property damage reached $400 million."
The following are amongst the most despicable acts of the 2005 French riots:
* A nursery school was set ablaze in Carpentras
* Rioters attacked a daycare center in Cambrai
* A Roman Catholic Church was destroyed by firebombs in Romans-sur-Isere
* A junior high school In Grenoble was torched
Gibson continued, "France's North African and Arab population disproportionately dominate the welfare rolls. Easy access to government aid is what seems to have attracted many immigrants to France in the first place. Because they can rely on government payments indefinitely, these groups have little motivation to find jobs and have an extremely high unemployment rate. These groups also have the highest number of births of any ethnic group in France and account for that country's current birth rate, which is the highest in Europe.
"France's African and Arab population live almost exclusively unto themselves and rarely integrate. They live in housing projects supported by France's incredibly over-taxed citizens and have no interest in assimilation. More troubling is France's growing Muslim population which is estimated to be between 5-6 million. Islam is currently second to Catholicism in the number of followers amongst French worshipers."
Author, war correspondent, politician, and grandson of the British prime minister with the same name Winston Churchill III described the Muslim danger facing France in a speech given in Australia last year. An excerpt of that speech follows:
"The scale of the problem confronting Europe today is epitomized by France, which has a Muslim community of some six million, or 10 percent of its population. Their birthrate explodes beyond French citizens.
"In other words, within one further generation, France will have become an Islamic country--a truly awesome prospect.
"Just as France is being overrun with African and Arab immigrants who refuse to assimilate and even generations later, still identify themselves with their ancestral country rather than where they live most or all of their lives. The United States is facing the same situation due to the massive illegal immigration and high birth rate amongst Latinos."
In 2006, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that the population of the United States reached 300 million. Latino illegal immigration and births to those illegal aliens fueled the population explosion. In 2005, Latinos accounted for half of the U.S. population growth for that year. Less than one-fifth of that year's increase could be attributed to legal Americans.
Gibson reported,"The U.S. Census Bureau provided the following frightening statistics: The total U.S. population more than doubled from 131.7 million in 1940 to 290.8 million in 2003; the Latino population increased nearly 30 times in that same period. In 1940, the Latino population within the U.S. was 1.4 million, by 2003 it had swelled to 40 million.
"Last year, the racist Latino group known as La Raza proudly reported on their website that 85 percent of the world's Latino population under 18 were born inside the U.S. According to the Census Bureau, 80 percent of our Latino population is age 44 or younger, which means that the vast majority of Latinos in this country are still of child-bearing age!
"Considering the fact that 90 percent of the illegal drugs in this country are smuggled in across the Mexican border by Latino gangs such as MS-13, the Mexican Mafia, and the 18th Street Gang, we can expect to see open season on our police officers and American cities to resemble lawless Mexican towns as the presence of those gangs continues to grow.
"Illegal aliens account for 30 percent of this nation's prison population and present a much greater and present danger to America than Iraq or Afghanistan ever could.
"We all saw huge numbers of mostly illegal aliens marching in the streets of more than 20 U.S. cities last year, in which these invaders were demanding their 'rights.' In Dallas alone, 500,000 demonstrators filled the streets waving Mexican flags and shouting threats of 'Reconquista" (re-conquest of the American Southwest).
"Just as in France, we have a large and ever-growing immigrant population which refuses to assimilate or contribute to this nation. Remittances from the United States, account for Mexico's second richest industry, behind oil exports. Every year, illegal aliens working in this country send $45 billion in remittances to Latin America. Though many of them do work, they do so illegally while taking advantage of free public education, welfare programs, emergency services, and free healthcare by using hospital emergency rooms as their primary physician. As a result, dozens of hospitals across the country have bankrupted.
"With the incredible birth rates of Latinos and the continuous and unchecked Mexican invasion, this country will become another Latin American nation in our lifetime. What will this mean to you?
The disappearance of the English language, the destruction of our traditional American culture, the over-population of our cities, epidemics of once-thought eradicated diseases, crushing poverty, suppressed wages, and soaring crime. The amount of violence we have already seen perpetrated on American citizens by Latino foreign nationals will pale in comparison as uneducated, poor, lawless Latinos will take to our streets once again with their 'demands.' However, we will then be outnumbered.
"If an honest effort is not made to protect our border with Mexico and we do not adopt sensible immigration policies, the United States as we know it will cease to exist. Just as France will soon succumb to Islam, the United States will soon join the Third World."
If you need further proof, read Pat Buchanan's "Day of Reckoning" that illustrates America "deconstructing" and "decomposing" before our eyes. Again, I make this fact indelibly clear: no nation can immigrate millions upon millions of third world people manifesting profound illiteracy and incompatible cultures, and hope to sustain a balanced, functioning and viable society. In the end, we will all be at each others throats.
We stand nostril deep in trouble. If we continue this immigration onslaught, out of 100 million people added to America by 2040, a full 70 million, with their children, will be from the Third World. Our civilization doesn't stand a chance to remain viable, sustainable or cohesive.
As to the environmental ramifications of 100 million people, the more extreme our numbers the more extreme our children's consequences.

WHO REALLY RULES AMERICA?
Vanity Fair's `Top 100' seems to confirm age-old `canards' about `Jewish power'
By Michael Collins Piper
Piper
.If you think that the United States is run by a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) elite, think again. The reality is very much otherwise, according to an old-line American magazine that did, indeed, once rank as a voice of the so-called "WASP" establishment. Vanity Fair—the stylish monthly now owned by the billionaire Zionist Newhouse family—has just published its annual list of the 100 most powerful people in America, what Vanity Fair calls "the New Establishment." What this amazing list reveals is a reality that many will find hard to accept: America's "New Establishment" is overwhelmingly dominated by Jewish figures or those who are on the payroll of or dependent upon Jewish families and financial interests that bankroll the powerful Israeli lobby in America. That conclusion—however "offensive" or "controversial" in the eyes of some people—is inescapable. Based on Vanity Fair's listing from the position of 1-100, persons known to be Jewish occupy 53% of the power positions. However, there are actually 106 names on the list (with two names listed side by side in five places) and with the additional names (four of the six being Jewish), there are 57 individuals known to be Jewish listed. So depending upon how one calculates, either 53% (or 54% including all those listed) of the most powerful members of "the New Establishment"—as perceived by Vanity Fair—are Jewish.And it should be noted that Vanity Fair's assessment of who constitutes "the New Establishment" is one that critics would be hard-pressed to dispute. The fact that a Jewish-owned publication has published the names of these Jewish power brokers (without specifically citing their ethnic and religious heritage) is interesting, especially since Israel's prestigious newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, on Oct. 11, 2007, heralded publication of the list, saying in a headline that "Jewish power dominates [at the] Vanity Fair [list]. The reporter for the Post, Nathan Burstein, noted:
It's a list of "the world's most powerful people," 100 of the bankers and media moguls, publishers and image makers who shape the lives of billions. It's an exclusive, insular club, one whose influence stretches around the globe but is concentrated strategically in the highest corridors of power. More than half its members, at least by one count, are Jewish. It's a list, in other words, that would have made earlier generations of Jews jump out of their skins, calling attention, as it does, to their disproportionate influence in finance and the media. Making matters worse, in the eyes of many, would no doubt be the identity of the group behind the list—not a pack of fringe anti-Semites but one of the most mainstream, glamorous publications on the newsstands. The list would seem to conform to all the traditional stereotypes about areas of Jewish overrepresentation.
Although the "mainstream" media in the United States has failed to note the Jewish predominance on the list— which can correctly be called predominance, since Jewish people are said to be less than even 3% of the American population—the news about the list has been commented upon in American Jewish community publications. Joseph Aaron, editor of The Chicago Jewish News said that his readers should "feel very, very good about" the news that their co-religionists are so powerful in America. In the Vanity Fair list, which is reproduced here and annotated with factual details regarding those names on the list, AFP has indicated the Jewish names in boldface, although it is possible that there are other Jewish names on the list, but there is no firm research available confirming it. Also, note, for example, that media baron Rupert Murdoch— who appears at number one on the list—is not included here as being Jewish, for the reason that reports that his mother was Jewish have never been fully confirmed, although it has long been an article of faith on the Internet—perhaps in error—that Murdoch is Jewish). Whatever his ethnic antecedents, Murdoch has been a front-line supporter of Israel and the global Zionist cause—no surprise considering the fact that his primary financial backers in his rise to power were the powerful Rothschild, Bronfman and Oppenheimer families—all very definitely Jewish. (An account of the rise of Murdoch and his media intrigues appear in The Judas Goats.) Since the release of the list, several Internet sources have alleged that several other names on the list (that are not indicated here as being Jewish) are Jewish; however, AFP's research does not indicate that this is so. The bottom line is that the preponderance of the names are indisputably Jewish, whether the disputed names are or are not. Also significant is that the roughly 45-50% of the names on the list that are not definitely known to be Jewish or that are clearly non-Jewish are the names of individuals who are directly beholden to Jewish families and financial interests for their own power and privilege. Rupert Murdoch is perhaps the most prominent among this group. Secondly, in this realm, is Warren Buffett—listed at No. 6. Buffet is not Jewish, but he has long been in partnership with the Rothschild family and is a primary of the powerful Washington Post-Newsweek media combine. Although the Post is best known as the fiefdom of the American-based Jewish Meyer-Graham family, the evidence indicates that primary behind-the-scenes investors behind the influential Post empire have always operated in the sphere of Rothschild-connected banking interests operating on American soil. The Meyer/ Grahams, themselves, are related to the powerful San Francisco-based billionaire Jewish heirs of the Levi Strauss clothing kingdom. Seventeen of those listed are either actors, entertainers and television and news media personalities who—while now wealthy as a consequence of their fame—owe their fame (and wealth) to the patronage of the owners of the mass media which made these 17 figures household names: for example, individuals such as Fox News agitator Bill O'Reilly and Steven Colbert, among others. Three listed—Pinault, listed at 29, and Gagosian and Pigosi—listed at 84 and 86—are figures in the art world, which is known to be dominated by Jewish interests. Eight others, such as Bernard Arnault (listed at 8), Giorgio Armani (listed at 37), Miuccia Prada (at 44), Karl Lagerfeld (at 52), Martha Stewart (at 54), Oscar de la Renta (at 53) Diego Della Valle (at 63) and Donatella Versace (at 81) are figures in the fashion and perfume industries—both of which are totally dependent on garment manufacturing (dominated almost exclusively by Jewish families and financial interests) and on department store distribution and the advertising industry, both of which are likewise dominated by the same elements. Two of those listed—Bill Clinton and his former vice president Al Gore—are only politicians—note the clarification "only"—both of whom were installed in their positions of power through the patronage of Zionist financial interests. For his own part, Gore's daughter, Karenna, has married the great-great grandson of Jewish plutocrat Jacob Schiff, a satellite of the powerful Rothschild family. Informed students of history know that Schiff was instrumental in financing the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Several others are officers of media giants dominated by Jewish financial interests, acting as well-paid "fronts" for the controllers behind the scenes. For example, Richard Parsons, an African-American, is listed at 18th place, but he is no more than a front man at Time-Warner. And as those who know the history of Time-Warner are well aware, that media empire has been dominated since at least the late 1960s, of elements linked to the organized crime syndicate of Jewish gangster, Meyer Lansky (who worked closely with Israel's Mossad) and to the Lansky-connected liquor empire of Sam Bronfman, longtime chief of the World Jewish Congress (WJC), and his son, Edgar Bronfman, who recently retired as head of the WJC. It has been widely asserted that the idea that Jewish families and financial interests were very powerful was "an old wives's tale," a "ridiculous anti-Semitic canard with no basis in reality," said to be the product of a "discredited czarist forgery." However, the new Vanity Fair assessment suggests otherwise and seems to confirm the theme of this author's work, The New Jerusalem, which had already documented in detail what Vanity Fair has now confirmed: "Zionist power in America."

Yup some people know who have been the problem in this world for A very long time.And they claim to be a people they are not.
I would just say to feel it in the body. How does it feel? Feel the actors in this controlled Story, this story built weird. Are any of those Beings being embed in The Story free to rite new. Do they even know how? What is the distance between the E-Lite Story of Now and Then and When and The Peoples of The Earth Stories of Stories?
Obama is an extension in expression and a Rider of The Night Mare Journey near to dawn. Do not fear too much for the last page is near and the Birth of a New Chapter of a New Tale that you are writ too.
How does that feel in the body?
Leave the Pen and Be the Pen.
I must admit that when I watched Barack Obama's speech on the evening of Super Tuesday the crowd responded to him as if it was a Holy Roller religious service instead of a political rally.
What will happen next? Speaking in tongues?
And it does make me uncomfortable when I read about the church he belongs to:
We have too many candidates who wear their religious faith on their sleeves (Obama: (see above) and "All options (nukes) are on the table in dealing with Iran"), Clinton: ("I read my Bible every day"), Huckabee: ("God talks to me and I talk to God") or appear to have little spiritual faith at all (McCain:"Bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb, bomb Iran...**sung to the Beachboys tune, "Barbara Ann".
Which is why there is only one candidate who makes me feel comfortable regarding the issue of religion and being POTUS: Ron Paul. He's anti-war, anti-death penalty (all the others are for it), pro-life, and very pro-liberty and the Constitution. You'll NEVER hear the others mention the Bill of Rights or the Constitution.
Obama. Fascist. Niggah Hitlah? Funny.
