General Discussion

I just listened to all three parts of this interview. It is excellent. Please - by all means - postpone your bedtime by half an hour tonight and listen. If you have problems with either Alex Jones or Naomi Wolf, suspend your disbelief for half an hour and please just listen. It is an excellent reminder of why we i am  fighting for Ron Paul for president in 2008.

Their are 14 defining characteristics of fascism and we seem to be taking on more and more of these characteristics.  So do you feel like we are moving closer to a Faschist Government after watching thoes 3 videos?  Sounds like we are to me. 

The 14 Defining Characteristics Of Fascism.

Not that I'm going on about 'OMFG WE'RE ALL GONNA BE SLAVES' or anything, but consider the very serious possibility, people.  It is only arrogance and ignorance which would make anyone think 'Pfft, this is America, that can't happen here!' and flat out deny the possibility.

Is mass paranoia that bad in the U.S?

Fear is one of the main articles any government uses to coerce it's citizens. Every country has done it to extreme conditions at some point or another, it just so happens that now, in this post 9/11 world, it is America's turn to do it.

Fear, paranoia, scrutiny, confusion, anger. . . they are all increasing to maddening heights right now. Only time will tell how far it goes. My gut tells me it won't stop anywhere pleasant, however. . .

   Gotta say, even though it seems Ron Paul is savior of teh interwebs, our government is too far in-grained with corruption that it's not going to make a difference, one person is not going to do a thing, no matter what his intentions are. The only real "solution" is to go French Revolution on the government's asses, however I don't think we're at a point where that is justifiable at all. The only thing we can do is wait, and once we're in a state of complete and provable fascism, then we can start kicking ass and taking names.

I have heard Naomi Wolf speak on many occasions. She is cute, but a nutjob.

Ah Alex Jones..... Mr. 9/11 was an inside job himself.

Ahh.  What are the conspiracy theorists who think Bush is creating a Facist state of dictatorship going to complain about if the Democrats or a moderate republican wins the White house and in turns repeals things like the Patriot Act?  Are you all going to admit how wrong you are?

How would they be wrong in that case?...

Sounds like the exact outcome they want; thinking there is a conspiracy in Bush creating a Fascist state has nothing to do with who gets into power yet...

My opinion is that America is now on a course it will not be able to remove itself from, because information is not reaching the majority of the voting public in the quantity and of the quality that it should. One of two outcomes will arise from this: America will spread it's plague to the majority of the world, creating a new empire, or possibly leading to the destruction of 'the West.' Or... Americans will finally bear the straw that breaks the camel's back and rise up and take over - this gets more unlikely every day though with the power of the military and the grip of the government increasing every day.

Good luck to you. I worry about our futures...
