I keep hearing how Obama has us on the road to Fascism. Not in every instance but he is largely traveling on the road Bush paved. Look what we were saying under Bush! This was a common theme of mine with Bush. Not only the 14 threads of Fascism but look at the 10 steps to end a Democracy. It is a quick one and I illustrate us! They blame everything on Obama too! Fascism under Bush
Now I want to relist the 10 steps listed to end a Democracy as they pertain to us and you will agree.
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy. The enemy is us! After 9/11 the Patriot act was passed, fear constantly pressed on us and Bush started his power grab.
2. Create a gulag . Once you have got everyone scared, the next step is to create a prison system outside the rule of law, FEMA Concentration camps!
3. Develop a thug caste: Blackwater and private security even at times various Governmental agencies.
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals: Threaten civil servants
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason: We know only Bushco can commit treason as they set up their new America
10. Suspend the rule of law: The John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 gave the president new powers over the national guard. He can now send New York's national guard against another State if "He" deems necessary!
Remember the 14 common threads of Fascism: keep the entire world in mind but particularly how everyone of them applies in America today. This is scary!
* 1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism. Bingo!
* 2. Disdain for the importance of human rights. Bingo!
* 3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Bingo!
* 4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism. Bingo!
* 5. Rampant sexism. Bingo, Bingo, Bingo!
* 6. A controlled mass media. Bingo!
* 7. Obsession with national security. Bingo!
* 8. Religion and ruling elite tied together. Bingo!*
9. Power of corporations protected. Bingo!
* 10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated. Bingo!
* 11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts. Bingo! (at the link read how it does apply)
* 12. Obsession with crime and punishment. Bingo!
* 13. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Bingo!
* 14. Fraudulent elections. Bingo!*
Read the explanations it's alarming
Even more frightening is a collection of news articles dating from the start of the Bush presidency divided into topics relating to each of the 14 points of fascism including proof in pictures.Blow by blow examples in pictures of American Fascism under Bush George W Bush and the 14 points of fascism - Project for the OLD ...

That is one sure Bingo and no need to hold your cards, Folks. I really liked the link to the Old American Century--that's a new one for me.
All right Billie! Glad your story did so well the other day!
We had the slim hope that Obama would be an FDR for our time. Now he's showing us he is more of an LBJ in foreign policy. And he has a crippled domestic agenda compared to the progress under LBJ.
Bush/Cheney war crimes are overlooked. War in Afghanistan is escalated. Obama has no moral authority left.
Democrats are proving to be nothing but cowed toadies under corporatist and republican control.
Hope and change are becomng rope and chains.
That is very good Dave! I am afraid as I said that he is Bush only kinder and gentler and he knows how to talk!
You need to stop and consider that one question. You think corporate America would let someone from the far left be in charge? I'm sure Obama walked a tightrope to get where he is now. But then who would your alternative be? You're surely not going to vote republican the next election and the only two independents are Bernie Sanders and god forbid traitor Joe Lieberman.
There is little choice in our corrupt system. Since the corporate media is embedded in the two faced/one party government, there is no chance for third or fourth parties to have a voice.
The only way to break the corporate lock on power is:
1. End legal corporate personhood
2. Publicly finance federal elections
3. Break up media monopolies.
4. Break up "too big to fail" financial institutions.
It seems too late to accomplish these things without systemic collapse and restructuring.
Good post Jim, you`ve nailed the situation with clarity.
It really does look like the fascism of 1930`s Europe, which was all about militarism, and stirring up hatred between the common people, funded by the corporations, the purpose of which, so it appears, was to enrich the factory owners and ruling classes, and attempt total dominance of Asia and the middle East.
Oil, mineral deposits and cheap labour.... same story, with new troops.
Obama has been groomed for the job, and it does seem that he is unaware of how little actual control he has over the military/ corporate machine.
Another "symtom" is mass unemployment and poverty, which makes for easy recruitment into the armed forces.
However, I think there are sufficient numbers of educated people who can and will resist the call to constant war.
Hi Jim, this is something you need to read:

I mention one of our last discussions there, but also what the real danger is and how to act on it!
Man I don't know what happened Dave I replied hours ago! Anyway the SOB has no spine! He has to piss people off to demand what he want but he wants to please everyone!
Man I am glad I am having a reinstall tomorrow. I just had 3 comments and redid the one I did hours ago now it is back with friends. I hate these damn things.
Anyway Obama was elected with the understanding that he keep the wars going and keep things status quo and he is. He does not have the spine to demand change!
Dave our system is so compromised it is not a Democracy nor is it a Government of for and by the people. We are no longer in the equation!
Thanks Landsker!
Obama is the same only kinder and gentler and apparently full of shit!
I once accused Bush of purposely causing our financial collapse with Greenspan which he did, so he would get people to fight his wars. Well, you see it!
Okay Sarah I am on my way , thanks!
I understand your PC problems, really I do! grrr!!! But at least for now mark managed to solve some of them...
Read your comment re the haze... but what do you think about the danger of medical control and the role of psychiatry in society as I describe it?
I know psychiatry is a thorn in your side but I think especially the way things are not they are necessary. I do not know about the rest of the world but Americans are so drugged up it is not funny. Most Americans are totally controlled.
I know nothing about computers and am hanging fruit the scum virus creators who then sell you a worthless fix. I hate this crap and those bastards should be taken out and shot.
correction: ... dragged through the mud and shot!" - that's what one should do with the virus creators!
Know nothing about computers either, but luckily my boys do! Still they can't solve everything either... Guess what? One of them (David) is an IT-supporter and because they don't have enough flu-shots to go round in DK, they have made a list of those who are not expandable and are servicing society best, guess what?! It-supporters are amongst them!!! Ha ha ha! But on the other hand, David really does do a good job, honestly and can fix so many things, it's amazing... but then the next shocker: almost all the supporters turned the shots down!!!
Re psychiatry: I have looked behind the scenes and seen what they do, have also helped someone with his psychology studies, by studying what he should have studied and then just giving him the summary, so he could cheat in school... but hey who cares, he was a cop anyway and that's how they do everything!
Anyway, I know the theory and I have seen it in practice, seen the political connection, seen just what KGB and STASI have produced, seen who sponsors it, and you should really go and have a look at check out how they practice and what they produce. I have never seen a psychiatrist helping anyone. As a matter of fact most psychiatrists are really pretty insane themselves and it really pisses me off what they do to political prisoners, to refugees and to anyone else who is defenseless!
the methods of psychiatry are nothing but torture - both physical and with mind altering drugs. I can not understand how anybody condemning torture could ever be pro psychiatry, because psychiatry is so much worse. Believe me the victims I have seen... makes you feel guilty for not killing them, because nothing else can put an end to their suffering. once you mess with the brain and have certain drugs, that's it, you can't reverse anything. that's why psychiatry is so dangerous. people are so stupid that they don't see through it and once they do, it's too late, they have had it. really shocking and so, so sad!
But I agree with you just how screwed up people are!!! And you need solutions for that, but covertly introduced torture can never be the solution.
Also they are unable to help. they have no idea how the mind works, no idea about human behavior (the jerks study rats...!)and certainly no idea how you take someone safely off drugs!
same goes for psychology. Mind you I have/have had some friends who had that profession and they couldn't even help themselves or their families and they were too stupid to accept help...
So yes, people need help, but constructive old fashioned help. we need to reintroduce decent values and help people to raise their kids well and set a good example...
But the way it's now psychiatry and psychology are used to control society and the individual. it's brainwash on a grand scale, alright!!! and if you don't go along with it, you're an outsider, lose your job, can't graduate... you name it! You have to give in, otherwise they're gonna make sure you won't survive!
Try and fight it at the root of all evil at you will be surprised, just how soon your time is up and how difficult it is to stay alive!
you should really have a look behind the scenes and see what goes on who buys who, see what certain government agencies come up with and how they even manipulate their own people how they lie in court and how they set up people and how the have covert ops just to discredit their opponents... it really doesn't get any sicker!
I think the only
Sarah, Kudos to your son! I have nephews who rebuild ant toy with computers and a couple in tech support but they are too far away now and I am sick of being walked through things on the phone. It is too stressful for me I do not want to deal with it any more.
I am so sick of the crap behind the scenes in the underhanded under world of politics and business.
It sickens me that Companies we bailed out and prisoners already have the vaccine. The scum we bailed out have now raised our rates thru the roof making us pay for their crap and we can't stop them. I am sick of it!
I understand what you are saying about psychiatry and agree 100%. You have been a victim of the seedier side.
Even in the day to day operation if it in the civilian world there is a seedier controlling side but I do think they serve a purpose there though I know they ensure job security by one way or the other keeping you coming back.
I am going to try and get things done this morning because starting at 11 I am sure I will be down all day if not tomorrow to to rebuild things so bear with me. I hate these damn things!
Hi James,
Haven't been following what's happening in the US so not sure of anything anymore.
Will have to catch up on my reading.
