The Raping Of America: Mile Markers On The Road To Fascism
Submitted by John Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute,
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”—Martin Luther King Jr.
There’s an ill will blowing across the country. The economy is tanking. The people are directionless, and politics provides no answer. And like former regimes, the militarized police have stepped up to provide a façade of law and order manifested by an overt violence against the citizenry.
Despite the revelations of the past several years, nothing has changed to push back against the American police state. Our freedoms—especially the Fourth Amendment—continue to be choked out by a prevailing view among government bureaucrats that they have the right to search, seize, strip, scan, spy on, probe, pat down, taser, and arrest any individual at any time and for the slightest provocation.
Despite the recent outrage and protests, nothing has changed to restore us to our rightful role as having dominion over our bodies, our lives and our property, especially when it comes to interactions with the government.
Forced cavity searches, forced colonoscopies, forced blood draws, forced breath-alcohol tests, forced DNA extractions, forced eye scans, forced inclusion in biometric databases—these are just a few ways in which Americans continue to be reminded that we have no control over what happens to our bodies during an encounter with government officials. Thus far, the courts have done little to preserve our Fourth Amendment rights, let alone what shreds of bodily integrity remain to us.
Indeed, on a daily basis, Americans are being forced to relinquish the most intimate details of who we are—our biological makeup, our genetic blueprints, and our biometrics (facial characteristics and structure, fingerprints, iris scans, etc.)—in order to clear the nearly insurmountable hurdle that increasingly defines life in the United States.
In other words, we are all guilty until proven innocent.
Worst of all, it seems as if nothing will change as long as the American people remain distracted by politics, divided by their own prejudices, and brainwashed into believing that the Constitution still reigns supreme as the law of the land, when in fact, we have almost completed the shift into fascism.
In other words, despite our occasional bursts of outrage over abusive police practices, sporadic calls for government reform, and periodic bouts of awareness that all is not what it seems, the police state continues to march steadily onward.
Such is life in America today that individuals are being threatened with arrest and carted off to jail for the least hint of noncompliance, homes are being raided by police under the slightest pretext, and roadside police stops have devolved into government-sanctioned exercises in humiliation and degradation with a complete disregard for privacy and human dignity.
Consider, for example, what happened to Charnesia Corley after allegedly being pulled over by Texas police for “rolling” through a stop sign. Claiming they smelled marijuana, police handcuffed Corley, placed her in the back of the police cruiser, and then searched her car for almost an hour. They found nothing in the car.
As the Houston Chronicle reported:
Returning to his car where Corley was held, the deputy again said he smelled marijuana and called in a female deputy to conduct a cavity search. When the female deputy arrived, she told Corley to pull her pants down, but Corley protested because she was cuffed and had no underwear on. The deputy ordered Corley to bend over, pulled down her pants and began to search her. Then…Corley stood up and protested, so the deputy threw her to the ground and restrained her while another female was called in to assist. When backup arrived, each deputy held one of Corley’s legs apart to conduct the probe.
As shocking and disturbing as it seems, Corley’s roadside cavity search is becoming par for the course in an age in which police are taught to have no respect for the citizenry’s bodily integrity.
For instance, 38-year-old Angel Dobbs and her 24-year-old niece, Ashley, were pulled over by a Texas state trooper on July 13, 2012, allegedly for flicking cigarette butts out of the car window. Insisting that he smelled marijuana, he proceeded to interrogate them and search the car. Despite the fact that both women denied smoking or possessing any marijuana, the police officer then called in a female trooper, who carried out a roadside cavity search, sticking her fingers into the older woman’s anus and vagina, then performing the same procedure on the younger woman, wearing the same pair of gloves. No marijuana was found.
David Eckert was forced to undergo an anal cavity search, three enemas, and a colonoscopy after allegedly failing to yield to a stop sign at a Wal-Mart parking lot. Cops justified the searches on the grounds that they suspected Eckert was carrying drugs because his “posture [was] erect” and “he kept his legs together.” No drugs were found.
Leila Tarantino was subjected to two roadside strip searches in plain view of passing traffic during a routine traffic stop, while her two children—ages 1 and 4—waited inside her car. During the second strip search, presumably in an effort to ferret out drugs, a female officer “forcibly removed” a tampon from Tarantino. Nothing illegal was found. Nevertheless, such searches have been sanctioned by the courts, especially if accompanied by a search warrant (which is easily procured), as justified in the government’s pursuit of drugs and weapons.
Meanwhile, four Milwaukee police officers were charged with carrying out rectal searches of suspects on the street and in police district stations over the course of several years. One of the officers was accused of conducting searches of men’s anal and scrotal areas, often inserting his fingers into their rectums and leaving some of his victims with bleeding rectums. Halfway across the country, the city of Oakland, California, agreed to pay $4.6 million to 39 men who had their pants pulled down by police on city streets between 2002 and 2009.
It’s gotten so bad that you don’t even have to be suspected of possessing drugs to be subjected to a strip search.
In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Florence v. Burlison, any person who is arrested and processed at a jail house, regardless of the severity of his or her offense (i.e., they can be guilty of nothing more than a minor traffic offense), can be subjected to a strip search by police or jail officials without reasonable suspicion that the arrestee is carrying a weapon or contraband.
Examples of minor infractions which have resulted in strip searches include: individuals arrested for driving with a noisy muffler, driving with an inoperable headlight, failing to use a turn signal, riding a bicycle without an audible bell, making an improper left turn, engaging in an antiwar demonstration (the individual searched was a nun, a Sister of Divine Providence for 50 years). Police have also carried out strip searches for passing a bad check, dog leash violations, filing a false police report, failing to produce a driver’s license after making an illegal left turn, having outstanding parking tickets, and public intoxication. A failure to pay child support can also result in a strip search.
It must be remembered that the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was intended to prevent government agents from searching an individual’s person or property without a warrant and probable cause (evidence that some kind of criminal activity was afoot). While the literal purpose of the amendment is to protect our property and our bodies from unwarranted government intrusion, the moral intention behind it is to protect our human dignity.
Unfortunately, the indignities being heaped upon us by the architects and agents of the American police state—whether or not we’ve done anything wrong—don’t end with roadside strip searches. They’re just a foretaste of what is to come.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the government doesn’t need to strip you naked by the side of the road in order to render you helpless. It has other methods, less subtle perhaps but equally humiliating, devastating and mind-altering, of stripping you of your independence, robbing you of your dignity, and undermining your rights.
With every court ruling that allows the government to operate above the rule of law, every piece of legislation that limits our freedoms, and every act of government wrongdoing that goes unpunished, we’re slowly being conditioned to a society in which we have little real control over our lives. As Rod Serling, creator of the Twilight Zone and an insightful commentator on human nature, once observed, “We’re developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won’t be able to think.”
Indeed, not only are we developing a new citizenry incapable of thinking for themselves, we’re also instilling in them a complete and utter reliance on the government and its corporate partners to do everything for them—tell them what to eat, what to wear, how to think, what to believe, how long to sleep, who to vote for, whom to associate with, and on and on.
In this way, we have created a welfare state, a nanny state, a police state, a surveillance state, an electronic concentration camp—call it what you will, the meaning is the same: in our quest for less personal responsibility, a greater sense of security, and no burdensome obligations to each other or to future generations, we have created a society in which we have no true freedom.
Government surveillance, police abuse, SWAT team raids, economic instability, asset forfeiture schemes, pork barrel legislation, militarized police, drones, endless wars, private prisons, involuntary detentions, biometrics databases, free speech zones, etc.: these are mile markers on the road to a fascist state where citizens are treated like cattle, to be branded and eventually led to the slaughterhouse.
If there is any hope to be found it will be found in local, grassroots activism. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., it’s time for “militant nonviolent resistance.”
First, however, Americans must break free of the apathy-inducing turpor of politics, entertainment spectacles and manufactured news. Only once we are free of the chains that bind us—or to be more exact, the chains that “blind” us—can we become actively aware of the injustices taking place around us and demand freedom of our oppressors.

As any professionally trained and patriotic Law Enforcement Officer will tell you:
Only those who are hiding illegal substances in their anus or vagina have anything to worry about.
MILE 1: CREATE A CENTRAL BANK
Same goes for knives and handguns
Just an FYI, the cop who searched those two women in Texas did have some sort of criminal sexual assault charges pressed against her for that. Not sure what the outcome was or if it is still going, but still.
The criminal deep state ships drugs into the country so they can arrest you for buying them. They have enslaved us in more ways than you can imagine.

Fucking worthless article by John Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute.
Next time THINK before you post this type of garbage!
Have no respect for the law, it's war bitches!!
Yes officer, of course.
OK Comey here's how we're going to turn USSA into South Africa.
1) You publicly worship MLK and force all of your underlings to do so. DOJ's got your back
2) Soros and Oprah will get actors for BlackLivesMatter
3) FCC will force compliance to a Sea of Blackface and Shame Whitey teevee campaigns
4) CIA will create Dillan Roof
5) 'Various' blogs will undermine the trust in local law enforcement
Now, Go forth and naggerfy!
What? Next time THINK before you post.
Patriots?
'The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.''...Thomas Jefferson....REFRESH TIME !!!!!!!!!!!
Cool! What tribe are you from?
revenoo shortage
Americans are pushing to install a tyrant like Joseph Stalin.
Where have you been the last seven years?
Idiots who watch TV and Hollywood support the entertianment police state. I cannot believe conservatives over at Free Republic still go on and on about Megan Kelly and Fox News. Fox News and all of TV is no friend of Americans. The same is true in other countries especiallly dual shit-i-zen run Ukraine. They run news shows showing Ukraine war victories as there poor you and old men and conscripted as cannon fodder.
I think you forgot a zero at the end of that...
"The Donald" Stalin to you.
The danger of truthiness. A state that lies to us, attempts to manipulate us to the point of blatant absurdity leaves us wide open to anyone who will speak truthfully about the issues. As is the theme of today, when things get bad enough you need to lie. Trump represents danger as he will inflame us to action as a response to the lies and usurpations of our freedoms, and will likely result in some new level of authoritarian or tyrannical over reach. This is where we are, the pendulum swings. What ever happens, it will likely get worse before better.....if better at all. I will support Trump's agenda until it becomes destructive to our freedoms but others may not have such restraints. Ultimately our problem is that we behave always in reaction rather than measured rational self interests. We will burn it all to the ground in anger just like rioting blacks do, never realizing it is OUR community we are destroying.
It's already destroyed, why not burn it to make it easier to scrape off? People have noticed my dark temperment of late, they ask me, nmewn why you, why you of all people who know a few things of history, of law, of order, of peoples hopes & dreams?
I tell them, they hide your history from you everyday, they contort it into what it never was. They take your laws, smile at you cunningly and wipe their asses with them while creating disorder, disunion, in fact chaos and then turn to you and expect to be praised for it, to have accolades heaped on them, be rewarded. They steal your hopes & dreams, look you straight in the eye and blithely ask if that's all you got with a smirk.
I was on my way back to the office from lunch the day that five traitors in black robes "offered their opinion" (and confirmed to me) what law & order really is.
It's really no more than being forced by traitors to buy a product or a service from a large corporation or be fined by traitors.
Thats all it is.
I pulled over and puked.
It made me sick as well. You are not alone nmewn. I am too old to fight and die and commenting on ZH may not mean much but I appreciate your posts.
Glad you noticed, most people have not.
What you said is going to happen because there is rage for having been replaced by "other people."
Yesterday a liberal said he still loves Obama and will leave the USA if Trump wins.
I heard it in a differant way this time "I hate whites and if they creep back into power and employment then I fear the backlash for what I whole heartedly supported, which was their demise."
let the cleansing begin.
Donald - Mr. Clean.
BingO!!
Incite the disgruntled that will act out leaving only the passive after the act outs are rounded up. Page 3 in the total Fascist domination play book.
You can't rape the willing and people are still voting.
I see that as consent.
I see it as a fraud. For consent one needs to be informed.
"For consent one needs to be informed." --VWAndy
All voters are "low-information" voters, and anyone who participates in our sham elections deserves to be subjected to the whims of this Washington shitshow ("garbage in, garbage out" as Carlin said). Don't blame mainstream media for its failings as a so-called "free press"; their job is not to act as a watchdog on behalf of the people... no: their job is to trick you into offering your consent to whatever policies, plans, and programs the oligarchy favors. If you fall for their lies, that's on you. And if you vote, you're legitimizing their claim to authority.
That the gullible American citizenry lacks the ability to discern the lies of the corporate mainstream propagandists is not the propagandists' fault. It's the citizenry's fault. Even a semi-conscious nation would know better.
The brothers W already helpfully named it for us
And your solution is?
Do you really think that not voting is not still a vote? Do you not think that every financial transaction you make is not a vote? Do you really think anyone cares if your non vote is a protest or instead believes and rationalizes it at simple apathy, an implicit vote for what is?
People who are imprison for political crimes, thought crimes, understand that to accept the food and shelter the prison provides is a vote of acceptance and as such many times choose a hunger strike as a way to vote NO! Simply sitting on your hands and doing nothing is EXACTLY what the powers that be hope for, and to denigrate those who do choose to express their voice, no matter how I'll informed, only serves those power's causes further.
We should all seek to vote but also be informed, which is our civic duty. The fact that so many are I'll informed should motivate us to do what can be done to inform, not simply inhibit their expression or opinion. Our first goal should be to have educated and informed citizens which we were well on our way to doing until progressivism lobotomized our educational system while also flinging open the borders to a mass influx of their world people to dilute our informed and educated status just as they have done with our currency.
DEVALUATION of everything
The best solution is to ignore this lifetime and prepare for the next one, something will come along and clean the slate of this nastyness. Inorder to not become a casulty of such a cleaning, you and yours must store 90 days of food, water, heat, and more, to outlast the carnage of built up filth that has accumulated over time. It's the only way if you want to survive the coming days.
Americans are 100% informed!
Americans agreed 15 years ago WITH 100% CONSENT THE FOLLOWING:
1. Woman need to be raped
2. Men can be raped to
3. Beating women, men and children until their face breaks IS A OKAY!!!
4. Killing people without process is okay
5. You can hate everybody just by looking and you're allowed to shoot them.
It's what was allowed in Iraq, Afghanistan and other wars. And damn, Americans do and did found it funny when those where thd rules to play with.
But now, those soldiers that came back, that raped women, men and children, who killed women, men and children, they are half your police force.
So as karma does: when a woman is raped, beaten or killed by American police: you gave consent15 years ago.
You can't change that anymore.
If there would have been hippies to protest, there would have been a totally different America now.
Now, it's a America filled with airheads and violent crazy people with dangedous and sick sexual fantasies.
Speaking of sick fantasies...
The police have always been an attraction to those who seek domination over others. Nothing new. And your suggestion that our soldiers are returning as rapists and killers. What facts do you have that would indicate that these people are any more inclined to such acts than the population at large? It would appear to me that far more violence is perpetrated by minorities and illegals than ANY subset of ex military. Why is it important for you to take the progressive tact of denigrating the military as apposed to pointing at FACTS.
PROGRESSIVISM has directly and undeniably precipitated virtually all of our socially empowered violence. Hippies in the streets were the progressive soldiers of their time and now hold power in some of the highest offices of the land.
Look the fuck around !!!!
An increasingly violent society is what is being used by tyrants as THE excuse for more aggressive and brutal police actions. A Louisiana cop just had his head nearly blown off by a drunken asshole.. It does take much of that shit for even the staunchest civil libertarian to fall in line behind the police. Political division is promoting and justifying violence and vilification of police at the same time as this dsame government is funding, training and indoctrinating our police to fear their public for their lives.
If there would have been hippies to protest, there would have been a totally different America now.
Interesting thought - but my personal opinion is that the "free love" and "hippie" movement was constructed by the M.I.C. with the express purpose of taking the wind out of the sails of middle-class "respectable" anti-war sentiment. "Normal" people didn't want to be associated with the "filthy hippies" and their drugs, sex, and rock-n-roll. Look at Jane Fonda (if you can keep from throwing up in your mouth) - I would argue that she was staunchly PRO war, after all, she did the most morally reprehensible thing she could; she went after the soldiers .... and the most helpless and vulnerable soldeirs at that (POW's). If she had been brave and truly anti-war, she would have gone after the banksters, industrialists and politicians who drive the war machine - but she didn't. A person on the fence who might be leaning toward becoming vocal about the non-stop psychopathic wars would be stunned into silence for fear of being associated with such a despicable POS, and thus a lot of anti-war sentiment was suppressed just through fear of association. Same thing happened with Occupy Wall Street - there were legitimate and well-though-out arguments, but they were drowned in the flood of the FSA operatives who were given all the media exposure. Infiltrate and subvert is one of the oldest plays in the book (see the Protocols). Just seeing how successful and powerful most of those prominent "hippies" have become tells me that they weren't REALLY raging against the machine - they were part of it - and are reaping the rewards of playing their part well.
But then, some people think I'm crazy .... ;)
Amen to that, VEO.
Wouldn't mind the anal rape if it at least had some lube, a kiss and a reach around. As it is, there's nothing for me. I don't think I'll participate willingly anymore.
Fuck non violent resistance!
"It’s hardly a revelation to me that the young people in this country take a dim view of our current up-tightness when it comes to street rioting. They believe, and I think quite properly, that on the scale of misbehavior the black man who takes a torch to a building or breaks a window to loot, and does so out of passion, is less the criminal than the white man who puts his torch to human beings and does so with a cold, calculated, predatory pre-planned blueprint of destruction."
Rod Serling, 1968
This is why we need Affirmative Action, because the white man puts his torch to human beings yadda yadda while Obama's gentle giant sons can do no wrong because they are passionate. WTF, Rand?
Just a quote about the difference between people who rise up and burn shit, and people who burn shit.
Serling wrote that during the race riots of the 1960's. We had a war in a foreign country where we were keeping the bad guys at bay. Blacks were pissed at shit going on at home. Most white people were pissed at the blacks for burning down their own neighborhoods, while they debated which President to elect to continue the wars abroad. A lot has changed.
It is completely racist and woefully ignorant of history. It is the left who can not get past race. White males are not the cause of all the worlds problems and the rest of you need to fucking wrap your minds around that.
I agree that white males are not the cause of all the world's problems. Stalin and Hitler are a couple of examples of white males who did more than their share, but there are plenty of other bad guys so I get your point.
Yes, others such as Mao and Pol Pot. And what do these four have in common?
They were all sociopaths.
With not a care in the world for any law or moral precept.
Infusion of Marxist/Leninist ideology.
Have you read about the very recent resumption of brutal gov't actions by the Brundi gov't/society against Rwandans? Whites as a societical force and their respective gov't are the most open to mutliculturalism and tolerance on the planet. Bar none. Only the forces of tribalism of the peoples of color (hate that term) are practicing the religion of ethnicity animus and racial grievance.
As a white male American, I don't pay much attention to the goings on in Africa. Doesn't really affect me. Are you suggesting that you are doing something about that, or just pointing out that other people suck, too?
The least effective argument from an intellectual standpoint is "other people suck." The most effective argument from an emotional standpoint is "other people suck."
You're a cowardly, self-righteous WINO. You may be "colorblind", but a whole lot of people aren't and eventually, like it or not, it will affect you at a very personal level.
I'm not colorblind at all. Nonetheless, you are very brave calling me out from your keyboard.
What's the new school WINO mean?
I knew the old school...."WINO Junction, Everyone off!!"
There is nothing of the sort occurring in the US or Europe for that matter...in spite of a OneParty led western world regarding state encouraged and certainly state sponsored terrorism of different ethnicities or nationalities, unlike in Africa, SouthWest Asia and Near East Asia. So no, I'm not pointing ouf that other "people suck, too." There isn't a more tolerant society that those of Europe and the US. What would you suggest I 'do' about Africa's internal problems? Send in black hawk down?
From Falconflight:
Willfully, i.e. 1930's Germany, and the other fascist states. They were all world class advanced societies with well established poltical and cultural traditions of liberalism, Yet, in a few short years, all were led to wildly violent gov'ts with the darkest of intent and action. USSR/Russia is a different history, not to be viewed through a European lens.
Fascism of this era was actually a response to the excesses and failure of finance capitalism. Versaille Debts lead ultimately to the hyperinflation (financed exchange rate manipulation). Bolshevieks funded by Wall Street and Communist overthrow of Russa, then leads directly to communising Baltics, the Holodomor, and aggressively moving Westward.
I suggest reading Suvarov's book, Icebreaker. Fascim of the 30's was a defensive move. Hitler even mentions in Mein kampf that he has dread for the future and response is to centralize. This is no small dread as he personally observed Red Berlin where Jews/Communists did take over in a coup until the were ejected by German nationalists. Hitler became a Nazi by observation of prevalent events.
http://www.jrbooksonline.com/HTML-docs/suvorov_icebreaker_preface.htm
All ism's that concentrate power into a pyramid will allow psychopaths to enter into pyramid's point. At this time, mankind can be lead off of a cliff. Hitler, for example, was not restrained - one man cannot have that much power; they can go bezerk and the people will follow.
Finance capital always attempts to centralize, hence onset of today's Illuminst World Government. Consider, reserves of all banks are now tied together in reserve loops to thus issue their credit. The nexxus of the reserves is New York Fed, which also happens to be Wall Street. This then funds western finance oligarchs.
Any sane system has circuit breakers that keep forces balanced. Modern man is too confused to install circuit breakers. Actually this confusion is usually induced - parsites and rentiers typically within finance usurp morality, so they can continue to take rents. I submit to you, it is almost ALWAYS money power usurpations.
Any deep analysis always leads back to the money system and what it predicates. Fascism is a way of directing credit so people have jobs, so they can get money. Fascism is NOT finance capitalism. Finance capital reacted strongly to the threat of Fascism and was the agressor.
Communism puts money power and political power and the law all together in a point, the worst possible system - a super Oligarchy. Remember always, it was finance capital that FUNDED communism into existence. It was the same finance capitalists that created Communism, and gave the Soviets full support during WW2.
They suck esp. because they live without any advantages of white society.
Way to completely ignore the racist, paternalistic Belgian nexus of the problems in that region. "Wide nose - Hutu - stand over there" "Thinner nose - Tutsi - report for training" "OK, we're out of here - good luck"
Sterling's "passion" point was nonsense. They burned then for the same reasons they do in Baltimore a primitive joy in destruction; savagery.
This is why we need Affirmative Action, because the white man puts his torch to human beings yadda yadda while Obama's gentle giant sons can do no wrong because they are passionate. WTF, Rand?
------------------------------
put the word banksters in there and click an upvote for a good comment from a fine mind. Sterling knew his shit.
Sonovabitch...never heard that quote before. Checked you, and it IS his quote. Kudos.
If Venezuela and Zimbabwe are any indication, it's going to be a long way down before there is any chance of mass revolt with enough strength to break up the status quo.
Won't happen. Doesn't matter how bad it gets. They'll just keep bending over. The future's so bright...
Juden raus.
And after that they will come for you.
Gotta play fairly. It is a rule we learn early. Otherwise, we end up with no friends to play with. No one wants to play with a cheater. Why would educated apparently sophisticated individuals ignore that simple rule? Mental illness.
Follow the money. You're outside if you are not inside.
Fascism is actually Communism with the appearance of some free markets. However, the State retains the right to full control. It is an autocratic form of government and economically is very close to what we have in most developed countries. It is only a matter of time till we, and others make what I call "the jump" to autocracy. You get as close to full control as you can and then you need a Krystalnacht moment to cross the line...given you have not done a full Bolshevik revolution.
We have been conditioned to not thinking twice about the State controlling any personal or economic venture. The only question is what are the proper rules, incentives and penalties. When the party of the Right, Republicans agrees with the party of the Left/state, Democrats that government must take control of healthcare you have no real difference of opinion. When Dems defend Obamacare (based on Romneycare) and say "Well, it's not perfect but what would you do!" the proper answer is to say "Nothing. Let free people work it out. It is not our job to run healthcare.". Most Republicans will say, "Well, I'd do some of A, and a little of B, but never C!" which is still to assert the right of government to rule.
This goes all the way down to your local GED copper who stops you and says stupid things like "I am the law! Now do what I tell you!" and your only real option is to comply and hope for recourse later at great expense...hope. That's bullshit and an autocratic mentality. However, it is actuallyl consistent all the way up to the Fed controlling the macro stuff in an economy. It's all cut from the same cloth of control and an unopposed view that government is here to rule and we are here to be ruled.
The actual proper idea is that we are here to live our lives and government is an evil to be tolerated, minimized and controlled to serve only a narrow set of obviously public purposes. The anarchists dispense with all government.
Congrats, America and the West! We have reinstituted good old oligarchies with just a few garnishes of democracy and liberty.
Nice, + 1
“…with liberty and justice for all.”
Where is the outrage?
Inexplicably absent. I swear. Any one thing done by Obama (or any European govt) ought to engender white hot fury.
But ... not a peep.
Freedom is probably the only ideology that does not have an "ism" attached to it. Because all "isms" are anti-freedom. Including libertarianism.

Fascists want to control everything, same as bolsheviks. They do it through market manipulation, total control over a currency, and they 'steer' the productive part of an economy towards what they want it to do, not what the market will bear, or innovate, or....?
What has been the end-game of fascism in Western economies? War. They steer the economy towards producing war goods, and put the population and the military on a constant war footing.
Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has been on a consistent war footing, especially since the late-90's, after the "peace dividend" (remember it was Cheney who got the military started down the path of austerity, and massive troop cuts, before TPTB needed them for wars overseas), ended.
Cheney wasn't the pres
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”
- Benito Mussolini
It's, however, NOT the ekspropriation of private power. Rather the state becomes a tool of that same private power. You have to be a fool/blind not to see that ‘big business/banks’ are doing pretty good in fascist states (including Mussolini’s Italy and Hitlers Germany – think Farben, Ford and Krupp. As a side-note: Hugo Boss designed the SS-uniform).
To call fascism communism is ahistorical and stupid. And no, I’m no supporter of communism in any form.
And I know I’m inviting a horde of brainwashed Ayn Rand-sociopaths to comment on the following: IT’S NOT LEFT-WING TO BE PRO-STATE. By that ‘logic’ a King is left-wing by definition. A state is just a tool – almost all states of today are tools of their capitalist masters (=the owners of the shit-show).
Obama-care is a capitalist policy (not a laissez-faire policy – but laissez-faire is not defining of capitalism). It’s forcing people to participate in a private owned health-‘care’-system (read: Ponzi-scheme). That’s fascism, yes, but not left-wing (=it's a policy that supports his "money masters"/the capitalists).
To not call fascism a leftist ideology extremely similar to Communism is ahistorical and stupid. They both have a single party with a dictator. They have a very similar ideolgoy of the state being the center of everything. Read Mussolini and Stalin quotes till the sun sets. They assert the right to control every aspect of life. The Communists just seize direct control of the means of production and fail more miserably because of it. Fascists prefer regulatory control of all things from wages to markets. Sound familiar?
They both have special camps for dissenters and people who do not have their minds right. All power is centered in the State and the State is lead by a single person who always wins with 99% of the vote.
How do you even do stupid things like associate Ayn Rand with sociopaths? That is the realm of the statist.
It IS left-wing to be pro-state. That is the whole point of the National Socialists, Soviet Socialists and even Democratic Socialists. The State is the focal point, not individuals. It is NOT left wing to be pro-country as in loving your country which does not necessarily include loving government. The right wing is minimalist government and based in individual liberty. The "Collective" is a myth. We are not ants. We are individuals making billions of individual choices daily.
The whole corporatist thing misses the most important point which is that if they have any power it is granted to them through government. They do not have armies, police, monitoring agencies and access to tax revenue without the State you morons! The State is a mafia protection racket that occassionally grants favors and occassionally does shake downs. Read Schweitzer's "Extortion" to see how it works even in a "free" country.
The major factor which will determine whether you smell the fascist glove or not, is how far away from a major metropolis you are. Also, you don't demand freedom from your oppressors, you take it. Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void (Marbury vs. Madison).
If you run for political office in a metropolis the fascists stay clear for fear of political reprisals, no kidding. Moreover, I intervened in a Safety Investigation and forced the Provincial Safety regulator to lay charges against our local Police Department for Safety breaches which resulted in criminal negligence charges and demotion of a police officer. The court case is pending, but the Provincial Crown Attorney has to proceed based on the investigation. Clearly, one can fight city hall, but one needs to be very careful at it.
Penalties for government corruption should be double that of the private sector, including jail sentences and fines.
In cases of government corruption and especially in political corruption there should be presumption of guilt for all first degree relatives as well.
I don’t see any difference of any importance between ’the public’ and ’the private’ sector of US. The ‘public’ is a servant of the ‘private’ (the banks/ownership-class).
As are SCt decisions that are repugnant so.
People in general, not just Americans, are ignorant. No, check that, they are willfully ignorant. The truth is out there. They will not accept it. The Europeans, the Chinese, Japanese, everyone. They all love their oppressors just as much as the Americans. And they love their mainstream media. Still too many people asleep. It's going to take more than an 1100 point drop in the dow to wake them up. Maybe cancel football this year. That will get people pissed.
"Maybe cancel football this year. That will get people pissed. "
Ain't that the sad truth. It's not even necessary to go that far. All you have to do is go to Africa and kill a lion.
The horror
Yet invent and install AFRICOM and there is silence.
Willfully, i.e. 1930's Germany, and the other fascist states. They were all world class advanced societies with well established poltical and cultural traditions of liberalism, Yet, in a few short years, all were led to wildly violent gov'ts with the darkest of intent and action. USSR/Russia is a different history, not to be viewed through a European lens.
Exactly right. Mess with fuhbah and you're a dead man. Flood the country with illegals and tons of surly, subversive muslims, give jobs to foreigners, send half our factories to China and Mexico? Say wuhhh? Zzzz.

Refuse to be victimized.
The pendulum swing toward fascism may be long and steady, but it will turn back . . . eventually. You can make a difference. Live independently, and help others to do the same. Know your elected officials, and hold them accountable.
Author’s interpretation of the constitution is simply wrong.
First, the constitution applied to the white people, owners of the property, meaning mostly being awarded rights to the land by English king before the revolution.
Leaving most people outside the constitution.
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was aimed for preventing the government from entering and searching the property (houses, slaves, horses etc.,) and the property owner himself as an extension of the property itself. The ordinary free people were searched with no restrains as British did. After Cheney shot the guest, the police waited over 24 hours at the gate before they were allowed on the ranch to “secure” crime scene. That is an example of the Fourth for those who it was aimed for but not for you and me.
We can be strip searched at will. This all is OK with the constitutional fundamentalism.
I say scrap this crap and come up with something better.
Your point insipid, without context.
My sediments exactly.
See you all on the battlefield, as it doesn't end any other way.
But first, keep in mind that their whole system of tyranny is propped up upon our backs, requiring our continued payment, service, on their fiat-debts. Stop paying. Just Stop paying.
Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity..
The Four Rs
Rejection: Stop Paying, Stop Obeying, Stop Playing, Stop-up the System.
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.
And those that can "return," should.
it’s time for militant nonviolent resistance.
-----
That is an absolutely, completely, totally, utterly insane phrase.
For example, someone explain what "militant nonviolent" means.
Even if that did have a meaning, the notion is so utterly and completely insane that one must be even dumber than the braindead sheeple morons the article laments. Seriously.
Look, those in control, and those executing their orders are human predators. They are vicious animal predators. They are more violent and dangerous than wild lions and tigers... which don't carry guns in case you didn't notice (which will stop a lion or tiger cold).
And some people, author included, actually imagine in their wildest dreams that nonviolent stubbornness is somehow a solution when wild animal predators want to destroy you? Seriously?
I hate to repeat this over and over again, but...
Humans are finished.
-----
PS: I hate violence too. I really do. But I'm sorry. We must understand the nature of dangers if we are to have any chance to evade them or defend against them. Most of us hate violence. But to pretend we can somehow defend against the most dangerous wild animal predators on the planet without violence is just another instance of humans being literally "dumber than rocks".
Hey, I too prefer to evade than defend. But when evade is impossible or impractical, I'm sorry. The nature of reality is the nature of reality, and pretending something else is just plain stupid.
We aren't done yet Anne because we have ammo that we know how to use.
I was more interested to know why he wanted more freedom for his oppressors down at the end of the article. Freedom of our oppressors is not the same thing as freedom from our oppressors.
I'm glad he's doing something to highlight the outrages being commited by our servants on their masters, but I don't think buying his book is going to provide any effectual relief to those currently suffering such indignities.
The first thing that always runs through my mind when I read stuff like this is why isn't the dude raising money for a blanket legal defense fund to help these poor people directly rather than making his personal nut on book royalties capitalizing on their misfortunes.
He's not raising money for legal defence because he's not a lawyer
Mr. Whitehead is actually an attorney by profession.
I believe the Rutherford Institute does legal defense.
They most certainly do.
My error. But he might mention it someplace in the article. What he wrote was an essay that boiled down to "People need to wake up". Well, duh. "This is wrong". Well, duh.
The only remedy he seemed to offer in the actual essay presented was to suggest people should (presumably buy and) read his book.
Who are you to judge what the best thing for him to do?
Maybe if he gets his "nut" he can do even more.
A revolution every now and then isn't a bad thing... yes?
Violent resistance needs young people.
Non-violent resistance can use everyone.
I'd go with militant not-yet violent.
Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity.
Honestann,
Great post. Sorry I shit all over you (or myself) the other night. Thought you were someone else. And I was a bit drunk.
LetThemEatRand.
Funny funny funny. maybe there should be a set of signals to indicate the sobriety level of ppl making posts.
You mean people post comments when they are sober?
And a whole lot statist fuckwit.
I think "militant nonviolence" can be protests, putting bags over red light revenue cameras or defying government orders to bake homosexual wedding cakes. It is a bit Gandhi, I think but not impractical.
Having said that, I think in the future violence will be unavoidable. I say that because the statist-leftist are an angry self-loathing humanity-hating crowd. They are ever obsessed with more power, control and conformity. They never stop. They have a system wherein they assert the answer to all social, economic and even personal problems is a government funded agency. The natural tax rate will become 100% and the regulations will reach to infinity. The reason is every single government failure and evil in society whether it is lousy schools, welfare moms or even the temperature of the earth requires more taxes and more rules. Always more. I have been alive many decades and I can rarely remember a year where schools did not clamor for more, along with every other government endeavor.
At the end of the day all these things require force and ultimately a police state where half the population monitors and controls the other half. You WILL comply, whether it is Obamacare or baking gay wedding cakes. There is no room for dissension or variety.
I personally believe they do not stop until we become N. Korea or the old USSR. It is almost a cultural death wish.
You do not reason with these types any more than a rabid animal or insane killer. Also, notice that the Left is thoroughly invested in force and intimidation from union thugs, to Red Brigade bombings to the killing fields of Cambodia. They cry peace but prepare for conflict. The ultimate dupe is to corrupt and then usurp the formerly legitimate powers of the State and then use them against it's own population. The NSA is not a accident or one-off. Lois Lerner's missing hard drive had the evidence of real political corruption of the IRS. Hillary's might also. Eric Holder was the mafia lawyer.
It will take at least a political revolution which requires a LOT of education, including the very real and short history of liberty in the world and why autocrats own 99% of history.
what kind of idiot are you? The stateist RIGHT owns and controls everything. The media are owned by 6 individuals....they all vote Republican-come back and post when you get your GED
your post is an example of how poorly our schools are teaching critical thinking-unless you consumed too many drugs while in college...lol
I am the kind of idiot that knows more than you and my school was superior in every way to yours. Yours most likely was a leftist indoctrination center like most.
First, the proper Right is libertarian and anarchist. The Left are statist. That should help in your stupor. Like all lemmings you fall for the leftist schill that the National Socialists were the far right and the Soviet Socialists were the far Left. So we have socialist on both ends of the scales as if they significantly different?
You think right wingers own the media...and you (stupidly) accuse ME of using drugs? Do you work for the DNC? Are you in the Minisitry of Leftist Propoganda? Are you even awake when you write? Perhaps you are an oxycontin addict?
You are a hopeless sucker and your are really weak based on your comments.
The average Yuk will continue on doing nothing and saying there's nothing I can do about it. As he sees more and more empty shelves as he shops he will become more and more aggressive. When the shelves are bare?..........think what happened in the old Soviet Union when the stores were empty.
You are unfortunately right, optimator. I just talked yesterday with someone from Venezuela. I asked her why the government buildigns are not burning down and why it is not being overthrown. She agreed but said the people are largely ignorant which I took to mean the peasant supporters of the Left. She said she believes it will continue until there is actual starvation.
Starvation with free people is quite impossible. People do not let themselves die. They only die if there is force in the system that gives them the choice between slow death and quick death. That is a police state. If they try to freely buy and sell as they did before they will actually violate the law and being arrested. So, being free it illegal and it is the law that you do without all the way to starvation.
Tell me again, what a great system that is?
Oh yeah, like I am so scared of the state. The state can fuck off as far as I am concerned. What are they going to do about it? Do you 22 year old taxsucking cops really want to walk into an M1A with your stupid vests? You will NOT walk away. That is not a "maybe".
Back off assholes.
The State kills more people historically than all the gangs, gangsters and psychos combined times ten. They do it with industrial efficiency when unfettered.
You should have some sense. If the State focuses it's energy on you, your life will become hell and probably forfeit. It has the power of the "law" to legitimately make your life hell in any number of ways and you cannot fight it without violating the law. Then you give them open season on you which is how the game gets played.
Be glad they do not care about you, yet.
Mr Whitehead you lost me with your quote from MLK.
It might pay for you to read http://www.martinlutherking.org/
You call the USSA a problem with fascism. No, it is a problem with BOLSHEVISM. As a respectable conservative I realize you cannot or will not address the real issue in what has happened to America. You would not enjoy your current lifestyle if you tackled THAT...
IF it is merely a lack of information may I remedy that right here:
Frankfurt School and psychoanalysis and Immigration
The fascist states of Italy, Spain, and Germany were not IN ANY WAY similar to the USSA of today. Not a bit.

So while I share your concern for what is happening in America one must be precise in one's analysis and not use the tired platitudes that the very ENEMY of our people have used as memes for generations.
I veiw Bolshevism and National Socialism as kissing cousins as to how it turns out (State sponsored terrorism) for a society that encourages or accepts either.
Tell me where I've mischaracterized the historical outcomes of such States.
Two pussies so far without the ability to cogitate and respond... merely parroting one liners, Heil!
NOW, you've proven without question your history of being in a mental home. Not a shred of similiarity between the two.
When I see Obama and others stand up to speak with 20 USA flags in the background , I compare it to Nazi Germany with their Swastikas everywhere.
America bashes any other country that wants nationalism and sovereignty.
The disdain show by the USA towards Russia and their victory over Nazi Germany with their Victory day celebration says it all.
America wants to control the world Actually Israel does seeing as Zionists control just about every aspect of the nation.
And don't try and tell me that is not true.
Bolshevism...lets call it what it historically and truthfully is....talmudic zionism. #whitechristianruskielivesmatter...or not! Or is that niet?
It's the Liberals!! The Progressives! Socialists.. masons, atheists, Bilderbergs, the Corptocarcy, Bankers, Wall St, Resurrected Nazis...
Indeed just remember it's never the Communists and "the Jews" sure as hell have nothing to do with it... lol
But but but Obama........

Because Trump does want to continue Prohibition. You can look it up.

Donbass USSA coming soon.
Only in the USSA we have millions upon millions of long range hunting rifles and mountainous stacks of premium ammo perfectly suited to insurgent sniping... whereas the Ukranians have little more than rusty AK47 blasters with shit ammo.
The problem is actually that we do not prosecute bankers, or bad cops, or really bad criminals. Instead we find loopholes to let them go unpunished. Instead, we go after families, small business owners, religious believers, and homeowners.
But we are free! And # 1! And the home of the brave!

Banksters are terrified of the US population and they have good reason to be. There about 1 billion guns and as TSHTF it would take only a small fraction of the military to join the people against them and all hell will break loose.

The big problem is breaking through the brainwashing the MSM has created to prevent people from considering issues like that (i.e. if someone even considers the possibility that could be true they are instantly labeled an "anti-Semite - even though the culprits have no Semitic genes at all) . With the Tribe in control of the major TV networks and most, if not all, of Hollywood it is definitely an uphill battle.

I've had multiple policies from State Farm for 30 years, at least.
I got a letter from my State Farm agent the other day.
It says there are (more) discounts in my future if I agree to the many benefits (!) of adding their gizmo to my car that tracks my location and every RPM. You would think that my near-perfect driving record and holding their highest level of driver qualification for decades would be good enough.
We can unlock your door if you lock yourself out!
Been kind of busy--haven't gotten around to telling the cockbites that they are fired. Two other policies as well.
Buh Bye.
