Fascism watch

 

" Through clever and constant application of

propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as

hell, and also the other way around to consider the

most wretched sort of life as paradise. "

 

Adolp HItler

Fascism in America

The " Good German " syndrome

" To oppose the policies of a government does not mean

you are against the country or the people that the

government supposedly represents. Such opposition

should be called what it really is: democracy, or

democratic dissent, or having a critical perspective

about what your leaders are doing. Either we have the

right to democratic dissent and criticism of these

policies or we all lie down and let the leader, the

Fuhrer, do what is best, while we follow uncritically,

and obey whatever he commands. That's just what the

Germans did with Hitler, and look where it got them. "

Michael Parenti, author

Books

Friendly Fascism - Bertram Gross

The new face of power in America

" Fascism should more appropriately be called

Corporatism because it is a merger of State and

corporate power. "

Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Fascist Dictator of

Italy

Blowback - Christopher Simpson

America's recruitment of Nazis, and its disastrous

effect on our domestic and foreign policy

" The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people

tolerate the growth of private power to the point

where it becomes stronger than the democratic state

itself. That in its essence is fascism - ownership of

government by an individual, by a group or any

controlling private power. "

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt - on the threat to

democracy by corporate power

Trading with the Enemy - Charles Higham

The Nazi - American Money Plot 1933-1949

" The tycoons were linked by an ideology: the ideology

of Business as Usual. Bound by identical reactionary

ideas, the members sought a common future in fascist

domination regardless of which world leader might

further that ambition. "

Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy, 1983, pxiv

The Splendid Blond Beast - Christopher Simpson

Money, Law and Genocide in the Twentieth Century

" A number of financial and industrial figures of World

War II and several members of the government served

the cause of money before the cause of patriotism.

While aiding the United States' war effort, they also

aided Nazi Germany's. "

Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy, 1983, pxiii

The Washington Connection & Third World Fascism - Noam

Chomsky & Edward Herman

" Several of the greatest American corporate leaders

were in league with Nazi corporations before and after

Pearl Harbor, including I.G. Farben, the colossal Nazi

industrial trust that created Auschwitz. "

Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy, 1983

Philosophic Roots of Modern Ideology - Liberalism /

Fascism / Nazism

" We stand for the maintenance of private property...

We shall protect free enterprise as the most

expedient, or rather the sole possible economic

order. "

Adolph Hitler

Fascism - Past, Present and Future - W Laqueur

" You don't need a totalitarian dictatorship like

Hitler's to get by with murder ... you can do it in a

democracy as long as the Congress and the people

Congress is supposed to represent don't give a damn? "

William Shirer, author, 1973

Fascism- a very short introduction - Kevin Passmore

" It would be easy for us, if we do not learn to

understand the world and appreciate the rights,

privileges and duties of all other countries and

peoples, to represent in our power the same danger to

the world that Fascism did. "

Ernest Hemingway

International Fascism 1920-1945 - by Walter Laqueur

and George Mosse

Fascism - extreme racial or cultural nationalism

combined with economic corporatism and authoritarian

autocracy; masked during its rise to state power by

pseudo-radical populist appeals to overthrow a

conspiratorial elitist regime; spurred by a strong

charismatic leader whose reactionary ideas are said to

organically express the will of the masses who are

urged to engage in a heroic collective effort to

attain a metaphysical goal against the machinations of

a scapegoated demonized adversary.

COINTELPRO

Domestic covert action in US (COINTELPRO) in the 60s

many people - in absolute or proportional terms - the

right to vote because of felony convictions. "

States "

 

Domestic covert action in US in the 70s

" More than I00 countries have now abolished the death

penalty in law or practice ... Against the global

trend towards abolition, however, the U.S.A. has

relentlessly increased its rate of executions and the

number of crimes punishable by death. "

Amnesty International " United States of America-

Rights for All, " October 1998

 

Domestic covert action in US in the 80s

" The USA has been quick to voice its condemnation of

human rights violations in some other countries and to

stress, by contrast, the wealth of civil and political

rights which it guarantees within its borders . . .

however, it has failed to deliver these rights to many

of its people and there are signs that, unless urgent

steps are taken, these rights will be further eroded .

"
