Even Comedians Know "America Is Sliding Very Fast Towards Fascism"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The writing on the wall is there for anyone willing to take a look and be honest with themselves. I always try to highlight when public figures have the courage to state what is really happening in this country (such as rapper Lupe Fiasco), rather than cower in a corner from fear of repercussions. Most celebrities are the biggest cowards on earth. They prance around criticizing other nations, never daring to look inward. It is disgraceful.

Rob Schneider had a lot to say in his recent interview with Chris Stigall. Here are a few of his most incisive lines:

There’s a polarization that’s happening…I do think you look can look at government and go, ‘Wow, it is out of control now,’ and if you do criticize or tend to be not directly along a liberal stand, you can get murdered.

 

We don’t really have freedom of the press. It’s owned by about eight different companies, and it doesn’t really express or help the average American.

There’s also the money shot of him discussing America’s decline into fascism, which you can hear in the clip below.

I never did find this guy funny.  Now I know why.  He missed his calling being a comedian.  Shoulda been a political analyst/commentator...

 

My opinion of him skyrocketed.
Good luck ever finding a HollyWierd job again...

"Shoulda been a political analyst/commentator..."

actually, those jobs are so compromised that they have no additional or incremental influence.

OTOH, the comedic class now has the power to grant permission to the analists to do their jobs.  But only in certain situations.

Ol' Rob needs a lesson in history and government (can't blame him completely; he was raised in public school, no doubt). Fascism and real-life Communism differ only in the motivating factors. Fascism uses nationalism/ethnic pride and communism uses "the collective good". The hardscrabble reality is that they both communism and fascism rely on GIGANTIC oppressive government to press their agendas. What Rob is witnessing is Socialism sliding toward global communism (though it will NEVER be labeled that). So Rob, the problem today is actually big government, not fascism. Remember those "Teabaggers" you and your vapid liberal friends like to joke about at mixers? Yeah, this is what they have been up in arms about for the last 10 years or so. Glad you're finally getting it.

Fascism can exist in an ostensibly democratic and capitalistic society. Communism cannot since it doesn't recognize private property rights. It merely merges business and government and creates class struggle which it then uses to concentrate power in a few hands. (oligarchy)

But in both cases you end up with a totalitarian state - they are just different routes to the same place.

Never liked the guy really - his 'movies' are so bad you wonder how they got made.

Guess it beats selling Chinese shit at Wal-Mart though so good for him.

You want a great political comedian you've probably never heard of, go find
Doug Stanhope.

From Wiki:

"Stanhope is known as a libertarian comedian and is a self-described anarchist.[21] In 2004, he endorsed the Free State Project, and was quoted as saying, "The Free State Project stands out as one of few ideas that could produce tangible change in our lifetime. The vision of Christian gun enthusiasts buying hand-painted targets from pot-smoking artists, laughing together while they give the tax man the finger, is beautiful enough to make the move."[22] In 2012, Stanhope originally supported Ron Paul for U.S. president, but later endorsed the Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson.[23]"

A ZIO-CON Comedian calling the KETTLE black, and saying that NOT talking liberal may get you killed, me thinks that this guy is OWNED by the same people who own ABC-MEDIA.

Given that BUSH put HITLER in power in the 1920's it is a KNOWN-KNOWN that USA was FASCIST since 1910,

Growing up as a child since the 1950's, I had always seen with my OWN eyes that the USA is fascist, ....

Me thinks something is up when status-quo rich hollywood ZIO brat's start complaining about cavity search at the airport.

 Given that BUSH put HITLER in power in the 1920's   I see this ridiculous meme all over the Internet.  I canunderstand the appeal of it to the gullible who want a quick, ready-made, world view model. The problem is, it is not true - even the merest superficial research into the National Socialist (NSDAP) party will show this.

The proof that BUSH BANKERS financed HITLER and brought him to power has been well documented on ZH  a 1,000 times.

I suppose OPERATION-PAPERCLIP didn't exist either? We brought all our NAZI friends back home to USA post WW2.

This is probably the biggest problem on ZH, everyday we make a step forward we have to take two steps back because of trolls.

A month ago 100% here agreed that HILLARY/LURCH financed the ZIO COUP in UKRAINE with $5B USD. Today that FACT has been discredited here by the resident trolls ( > 2 years on ZH ).

It's almost as if ZH is just a honey-pot to see if they can take ALT minded people and bring them back to the MSM reservation.

>>>

YES, BUSH, HARRIMAN, AND FORD put HITLER in power and financed him, ... from his very beginning. FACT.

GERMANY lost WW2, NAZIS WON ( NAZIS  were BUSH/ZIO-NEO-CON all along ).

Never heard of it?

Here's a 10-year-old link from the Guardian.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar

They outline some of the basics but decline to say it proves the Bush family deliberately helped the NAZIs rise to power in Germany.

Indisputable is that international banking did help finance the NAZIs and German re-militarization.

"Brought" Hitler to power is perhaps a bit overstated since US bankers were not the sole factor. "Helped" Hitler rise to power is indisputable.

How much of that help was profit driven or ideological may be argued. However, do note the comparative unwillingness of international banking to financially back other governments for various political reasons.

Operation Paperclip did exist - as did a similar grab of useful German scientists by the Soviets - how does Bush fit in with that one!

Foment in the Ukraine has been and continues to be  financed by the US.

 

I had intended to write something more detailed but it is a nice day here and I have some painting to do - and anyway, I doubt if anyone ever really questions their own world-view on an Internet forum.

Listen, Clooney has his face plaster everywhere around the world. If it isn't one of his shitty movies (because really, has he done a 'good' movie?*) its for that dirt Nespresso or whatever other horse shit he endorses because women think he is dreamy. So he has an over inflated sense of worth and knowledge.

A possible reason the pro-war celebrity-progressive "smart crowd" still supports Obama is because they actually agree with his constant warmongering, his civilian drone-murder campaign, his war on whistle-blowers, his massive bankster bailouts, his neo-fascist health program, and his rampant expansion/defense of the surveillance state.

America Is Sliding Very Fast Towards Fascism

America has been a fascist, police state for years now.  It illegally collects 3.2 billion pieces of intelligence a day and 5 billion cellphone locations a day.  Snowden's revelations provide incontrovertible proof that America is a fascist, police state:

The most extraordinary passage in the memo requires that the Israeli spooks “destroy upon recognition” any communication provided by the NSA “that is either to or from an official of the US government.” It goes on to spell out that this includes “officials of the Executive Branch (including the White House, Cabinet Departments, and independent agencies); the US House of Representatives and Senate (members and staff); and the US Federal Court System (including, but not limited to, the Supreme Court).”

 

The stunning implication of this passage is that NSA spying targets not only ordinary American citizens, but also Supreme Court justices, members of Congress and the White House itself. One could hardly ask for a more naked exposure of a police state.

Fascism is ONE totalitarian ideology, but not every totalitarian ideology is Fascism.

Fascism is national, this regime is internationalistic.

Fascism is in defense of traditional values. Neo-Marxism is for the destruction of traditional values (gay marriage, gender mainstreaming, feminism, multiculturalism, White-genocide).

Fascism is about primacy of politics. In this regime the elected actors have nothing to decide and the ones that decide are not elected.

In Fascism politics is ruling, in a plutocracy the unelected money masters rule.

Fascism is authoritarian. Authoritarian means a personalized responsibility. In this regime the responsibility is not existant.

The number of stupid articles that confuse the transformation from hidden Marxism to the totalitarian Marxist world Goverment are exploding here.

You're all confuzzled.  The neo-marxism you cite degrades/destroys the culture.  And that is correct however, the fascism that is balls deep in progressive philosophy is over economics...

And just beause Nazi fascism was nationalistic, doesnt mean fascism MUST be nationalistic.  Fascism is the blending of business and govt to control people and if you can cite how that is NOT the case bascially the world over, I'll give you a cookie.

And despite their neo-marxism and fasicsm they're also socialists.

Every organization that WORKS is authoritarian:

Companys.

Police.

Military.

Family.

Because every functioning organization has the rights coupled with duties. And that means personal responsibility.

In "Democracies", which btw are not democracies but Plutocracies (the hidden money masters rule, not the people!!!), the ones that rule are not be elected, and the ones elected have nothing to decide! Therefore their regime fights the authoritarian principle, because it means, that the one who decides, is the one who is responsible. And that makes it almost impossible for hidden forces to rule.

 

And if you call Nationalsocialism Fascism then I congratulate you for usiing Communist propaganda speak. NS is based on the folk, while Fascism is based on the state.

But since authors and most ZHers don't even know the differences between Marxism and Fascism, because they simply confuse authoritarian with Fascism and obviously never have heard about Red totalitarian systems and have no clue about Marxism, I guess it's wasted time anyway.

hmmm.

Every organization that WORKS is authoritarian:

Companys.

Police.

Military.

Family.

 

these organised authoritarians appear to be not-working of late.

and so they resort to FORCE in order to maintain their un-recognised authority.  which means they've lost the RIGHT to boss folks around, and rebellion is in Order.

rinse. repeat. history. 

if you give your personal authority away to bosses, eventually you'll have to re-claim it, or die.

Actually, Fascism is an idea of strength through unity - a concept that is pretty much universal.  The term is routinely used as an attack word for anything seen as threatening - and I can gauge the intellect and depth of knowledge of any author by its lazy and incorrect  use.

National Socialism is (was)  specifically Aryan/Nordic/Germanic race based - not just a totalitarian power structure but  a sense of racial spirituality that goes back to the Indo-Aryan tribes. See http://www.savitridevi.org/  

I admit to being an oddity inasmuch as I understand the absolute evil of international Jewry and its toxic effect on European people but without the borrower, there can be no usurer.  I am also an advocate of non violence and peaceful existence within nature so I do not see the answer in militarism of any kind.

and while I am a supporter of personal responsibility, the usurers have used their power to create a society where it is nearly impossible to exist without debt.

Schaublin,

I upvoted your post, because at least you are one who is understanding the stupidity to use the word "Fascism" for totalitarian.

 

But your definition about Fascism is also wrong. Communism has also the goal of strenght through unity. Therefore this "definition" is wrong. It's ONE ASPECT of Fascism to achieve strenght through unity.

It's the same as if a bear would be called a cat, because both have a fur and claws. But sadly that's the level of the recent ZH articles calling the globalist Neo-Marxist tyranny Fascism.

 

The dilapidation of the language is a consequence of a dilapidation of thinking.

 

Buthow could people become capable to overcome the tyranny of the international bankster oligarchy and the globalists, if they do not know the differences between cats and bears? If they call water wine?

Therefore it doesn't matter if among 100 people 99 are calling a bear a cat - they are wrong. And if they insist on their ignorance, then the result will not be for their benefit. Peace is only possible by truth. And that means a correct use of words and an upright thinking and not falling victim to the Orwellian speak.

Dirty secret number two: This is a bogus recovery—and it’s going to poison society, unless we are wise enough to recover from the recovery. The rich are getting vastly richer, to the point that it’s absurd that anyone should be so rich. But the average household is getting poorer; and the poor are getting trampled. The US is becoming a caste society; and the divisions between the castes are widening. Investing in basic goods is the only way—the only way — to lift millions out of the ruins of imploded lives, and into prosperity again. Yes; the only way.

Selling doggy dating apps for billions while the average household can’t afford healthcare and education isn’t an economy — it’s a travesty. Too many of our growth industries produce low-paying service “jobs” that amount to essentially being being maids and butlers to the super-rich. Sound like a healthy economy to you? I didn’t think so. Hence: invest in the basic building blocks of society — if, that is, it’s a functioning society we wish to enjoy.

Where will the money come from? Dirty secret number three: It doesn’t matter. Print it. Borrow it. Tax it from the super-rich, in whose coffers it’s merely sitting idly. It does not matter one bit. It’s a second order question. If the U.S. doesn’t invest in public goods, it will not prosper; and if it doesn’t prosper, it cannot pay off the debts it already has. Conversely, if it does invest in public goods, and creates millions of decent jobs, the source of investment will matter little; for the economy will have grown and people will be prosperous. We can debate until kingdom come whether to borrow; print; tax; and we should. But we are having a fake “debate” if we pretend that we cannot invest in societyfirst; and then wring our hands that society is falling apart.

We don’t live the lives we were meant to by merrily shoving Artificially Fried Chicken Flavored Dorito Slurpees down our gullets while watching our societies crumble. We live them when we build things. Great things. Worthy things. Noble things. And the greatest, worthiest, and noblest of all things that mankind has ever built are not apps, drones, corporations, or profits. They are societiesin which every life counts. In which every life is truly, fully lived.

It's a dead-end solution to an economic problem.

In Germany the rise of National Socialists to power was a direct consequence of 1922 Weimar crisis which in itself was caused by an attempt to resolve post WW1 reparation debts through money printing.

The reason Jews became a target was that they invested in hard assets and precious metals while the rest of Germany patriotically defended the political class that was paying wages with inflated Deutchmarks. The government was supposedly helping people while the evil Jews hoarded the riches.

Instead of praising the Jews for taking over failed businesses and keeping Germany from completely depleting its asset base, they were made a target, simply because it was convenient.

Weimar Marks were derogatorily called "Jew Confetti". That is very ironic, considering that the Jews steered clear of them, and it were the native Germans who printed their own economy out of existence. Doublespeak has a long history.

Fascism /fæ??z?m/ is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism. Fascist ideology consistently invokes the primacy of the state. Leaders such as Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany embodied the state and claimed indisputable power. Fascism borrowed theories and terminology from socialism but replaced socialism's focus on class conflict with a focus on conflict between nations and races.[13] Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky to secure national self-sufficiency and independence through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.[14]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

 

Amerika on the other hand (just to name a few):

-imports ultra rich and ultra poor from all over the world, especially from the 3rd world. definitely not nationalist

- cares more about illegal criminal aliens and foreign country than its own citizens

- exports jobs and technological know-how to benefit few ultra rich.

- has private national bank Federal Reserve (completely unacceptable in national-socialism.)

- nepotistic and anti-meritocratic

- allows dual citizens to control vital government agencies

- has mercenary ("volunteer") army that allows non-citizens to serve (impossible in fascism.)

Amerika slides into oligarchy straight out of ancient Babylon, NOT fascism.

You are full of shit. Show me the class struggle here.

1. We demand the unification of all Germans in the Greater Germany on the basis of the right of self-determination of peoples.

2. We demand equality of rights for the German people in respect to the other nations; abrogation of the peace treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.

3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for the sustenance of our people, and colonization for our surplus population.

4. Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently no Jew can be a member of the race.

5. Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest, and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.

6. The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in the Reich, the county or municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, office-holding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.

7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich.

8. Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since the 2 August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich.

9. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.

10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:

11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.

12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).

14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.

15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.

16. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.

17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.

18. We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, Schieber and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.

19. We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.

20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.

21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.

22. We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.

23. We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a German press, we demand, that: a. All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the German language be members of the race: b. Non-German newspapers be required to have the express permission of the State to be published. They may not be printed in the German language: c. Non-Germans are forbidden by law any financial interest in German publications, or any influence on them, and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-German concerned. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.

24. We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Germanic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: common utility precedes individual utility.

25. For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and profession chambers for the execution of the laws made by the Reich within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support by the execution of the points set forth above without consideration.

Fascism are public-private partnerships, a merger of business and government. That is what any common man knows, the Adolph or Mussolini versions are fun to debate between scholars but the peeople know what fascism is. They are not stupid, they got led off a cliff. It happns to the best of all nations at some point.

I know my government is a protection racket. That is it's official job and I pay taxes for protection. The Rothschild governments including the US are not doing there ONLY job. They are in fact doing the opposite. They are using my tax dollars to protect competition in the private sector from emerging. My taxes are supposed to pay for a national interest, not a global empire which is restricting freedom as they inevitably do. It is NOT to be used by a Rothschild sub-licensee called the United States to fund China as the new reserve currency peg, to have our military and intelligence paid by my taxes to continue the hollowing out of America! Or to now demonize my countrymen globally, or put laws into place, laws of supposed kings! Laws like NDAA a supposed legal right to murder or indefinately detain American citizens anytime on the grounds of suspicion.

If I hurt a bunch of innocent people I expect to be thrown in jail or killed off. Duh!!! Common sense! But when I want to compete in business to offer something better I have to pay taxes so the reverse robin-hood Rothschild government can continue robbing me! What a great fucking deal! sarc

GW Bush Jr. was right "this sucker is going down." He had a choice, America could tell the international financiers to fuck off. So could Obama, or Senators get together and say enough! But instead politicians are getting paid by me supporting military and intelligence enriching them and and robbing me! The Rothschild's killed Uncle Sam. Our American politicans were bribed to self-sodomize this country. I have no qualms if the American people revolt it will get an EMP or other form of attack. Is it really a false flag or foreign attack? If the government is owned by a banking family (the funding mechanism is printing from nothing and then using it for lobby money) that to me would be a FOREIGN attack against American sovereignty which is we the people. The brand of Uncle Sam no longer represents the people, we have no representation. Our oliticians which are rulers not leaders, are culpable if such has happened or does happen, as in indefinately. Jailing or killing people pointing this out will only increase the amount of opposition. History of evolutionary cycles makes this very clear.

I need do nothing but get out of the way and educate a few others as to why they need to get out of the way and how. The public is very much awake,  however they don't realize that financiers such as the Rothschilds are at the top of the pyramid and governments one notch below it. They do understand lobbying and fascism. Of course, this runs contrary to what government is supposed to be about in pecking order which is people at top, government beneath them and below that is corporations such as international banking. The latter two are supposed to serve the people by doing there respective jobs and offering value.

After this all shakes out, perhaps after the next world war which looks to be soon, foreign CIA EMP attack to squash American rebellion or fucked up events officially kills off the Republic (our Republic is dead and a zombie and a scary one) we will have to return to the coinage act and never allow central banking back in at the point of a gun under penalty of death. A couple other things like not permitting defense to be traded in a stock market or to be privatized. Same with finance, banking will need to become a utility and in this day and age of supercomputing completely unecessary to operate in present form. 

There should be 10,000 representatives per state that stay in their local district, no need of a centralized capitol anymore like DC either. Make bribing all of them prohibitavely expensive. The problem with lobbying is less than several hundred people run this banker government. How much lobby money does it take to buy them all? Don't know exact figures but $40 B? Last time I saw a couple numbers it was ridiculously low for a $15 Trillion dollar economy. It's like having your home security guard be able to be bought for $2 out of your paycheck of $700 and not only NOT protect you but rob you and then threaten to kill you if you tell him to stop or throw him out of your house!
