Creeping Fascism In The USA by MixMasterE



"Sure we'll have fascism in America, but it'll come disguised as 100 percent Americanism."
-Huey P. Long


"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power".
- Benito Mussolini


Recently, I have been somewhat preoccupied with the notion of fascism rearing its ugly head in the US in a more sinister yet altered form such that most people will not be able to admit that it is an impending threat. I am no conspiracy theorist or reckless alarmist, however, I am noticing something in our media and in the way in which this Administration in particular is attempting to stack the deck against the decent, hard-working citizens of this land. What's more alarming and chilling is the fact that a lot of people are hanging their critical faculties out to dry and mindlessly ranting off spoon-fed information hot off the military-industrial/corporate press. Indeed, anti-intellectualism is as robust and arrogant as ever.


Check out the following link and draw your own conclusions:



An unsettled mind is one of our greatest assets. Bertrand Russell speaks of  truth and opinion in the quest of finding meaning in this world when he says,


"The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible."

Stay alert.
