HISTORICAL
PRECURSORS TO A U.S. NEO-FASCIST STATE
“What’s Past is
Prologue - Study the Past.” The puzzling
words to the left are carved on
the National Archives Building in Wash. DC.
We are in a desperate war to gain
the hearts, minds, and souls, of the American people. Only by
carefully studying the NFC
Doctrines, and investigating their conduct when governing, can we
hope to understand the actual intentions of the determined
Neo-Fascist-Conservative
enemies of Liberty. Thus, we have first to review the uniquely
American historical precursors to the NFC
movement, to discover its origins and the methods for fighting
and defeating this fungus on the world body politic.
The recorded history of humanity
is one of the common man’s struggle to survive under a
succession of despotic individuals and Aristocratic ruling classes.
These have included military, economic, and religious tyrants called;
Emperors, Kings, Patricians, Senators, Pharaohs, Satyraps,
Autocrators, Dictators, Popes, Premiers, CEOs, and Presidents.
Despotism
is an Ancient Feature of All Authoritarian Societies:
“This
prompts me to go into some detail about the origins of law, and the
ways in which it developed into our endless and complicated
statute-list. …But when men ceased to be equal, egotism
replaced fellow-feeling, and decency succumbed to violence. The
result was despotism—in many countries permanently…We
ourselves, when Romulus’ autocratic regime ended, were
subjected by Numa to a religious code, to which Tullus Hostilius and
Ancus Marcius introduced adjustments. But our outstanding maker of
laws—binding even on Kings—was Servius Tullius. After
Tarquin’s expulsion, the community took many measures against
the ruling class in the interests of freedom and unity. A new Council
of Ten, by incorporating the finest elements from all sources, drew
up the Twelve Tables. That was the last equitable legislation.”
“Hence
arose demagogues…”
Cornelius Tacitus,
Roman Historian, The Annals of Imperial Rome, AD 55-117
The Historical Class Struggle
“The
only thing new in the world is the history you don't know.”
Harry S. Truman
What is Marxism?
Credit for excerpts drawn
primarily from the
Encyclopaedia Britannica are given here:
“Freeman
and Slave, Patrician and Plebian, Lord and Serf, Guild-Master and
Journeyman, in a word; Oppressor and Oppressed, stood in constant
opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden,
now open, fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a
revolutionary re-constitution of society at large, or in common ruin
of the contending classes”
Karl
Marx, The Communist Manifesto, 1848
Marxism is a body of social
doctrine conceptualized by Karl Marx and his friend Friedrich Engels,
and systematized later by some of his followers. It is a philosophy
of history implemented by an elaborate economic
theory. Marx had been concerned almost exclusively
with a highly competitive kind of laissez faire capitalist system in
which the entrepreneurs were in the main opposed to all state
intervention. The decades after Marx’s death (1883) produced a
kind of capitalism that was permeated with monopoly and in which the
majority of businessmen desired state intervention only for the
protection of their monopolies, their property rights, protective
tariffs and for the opening of foreign markets and promotion of
foreign investments. (And the exploitation of workers such as we have
again experienced in the U.S. under the NFC
Republicans)
Marxist philosophy purports to
demonstrate the inevitability of Socialism,
and eventually of full Communism;
the latter to be understood as a “classless
collectivist order” in which the social product
is distributed according to needs and in which the state, law, money,
and the concept of economic value have lost their functions and
therefore have withered away. (A Utopian World)
Marx tended to believe that all
important historical progress is achieved through an all out conflict
between an old and new principles of social organization, and that
consequently progress would be impeded if the tension between these
two principles were prematurely reduced by limited reforms of the old
system (such as American Liberal Democracy). Since true reform, which
does not destroy the present system but gradually reforms it, is
ruled out, revolution becomes necessary.
Marx stressed the obvious truth
that social groups have conflicts of interest that are often
reflected in antagonistic political creeds (Conservatism v Liberal
Democracy) Marx saw each principal or social organization
represented by a social class; feudalism by the nobility, capitalism
by the entrepreneurs, socialism by the workers. Consequently the
class struggle is governed by the laws of dialectics; (a form of
philosophical argument involving opposites such as thesis and
antithesis; elaborated by the Marx concept of Dialectic Materialism)
and it is necessarily an all out conflict—it cannot be limited
by the rules of democracy,
which substitutes “ballots
for bullets” and which requires respect for the
inalienable rights of the opponent. The victory of the new class must
be followed by repression
of the former ruling class until the last vestiges of the old order
are extinguished. In the struggle of the workers against the
capitalists, this repression will result in “the
dictatorship of the proletariat” as the
political form of society in the period of transition from capitalism
to full communism.
In actual practice, in the biggest
Marxist experiment of all time; the Leninist/Stalinist Soviet State;
There was no transition to Utopian Communism, and what was called
Communism was in reality an Arch-Conservative
Repressive Militarist Expansionist Internationalist Dictatorship.
It was an empire run by tyrants, in which workers reverted back
to the poverty, brutality, and oppression of feudalism.
“I
became a Marxist thanks, so to speak…on account of the
rigorous intolerance and Jesuitical discipline so cruelly crushing me
in the Orthodox seminary, where I passed some years” Josef
Stalin, Christian Seminarian turned Revolutionary leader, 1926
The theory that; society can be
divided into two classes, the oppressed and the oppressors, and that
these two classes constantly have been struggling against each other,
is based on factual observations over many centuries. In 1848, it
became a key feature of the Communist
Manifesto, written by Marx. The fact that it was true,
was not diminished by the co-option of this theory by the
Conservative
Bolshevik Dictators who ran the Soviet Union.
Fascism
is Fiercely Anti-Communist:
“…Our
movement has recognized that the future of Germany means the
destruction of Marxism. Either this racial poison, the mass
tuberculosis, grows in our people, and Germany dies of an infected
lung, or it is eliminated. We can never make a pact with this
world-view; for us Germany will be saved on the day on which the last
Marxist has either been converted or has been broken.” Adolf
Hitler, February 26, 1924
In fact, Marx borrowed the theory
of class struggle, which had been expressed as early as 1780, by
Gaetano Filangieri, a Neapolitan nobleman and social scientist. The
theory was also expressed in the writings of Helvetius, Marat,
Babeuf, and after 1802, in the writings of Saint-Simon and his
school. The idea had also been developed by Auguste Mignet (1824),
Augustin Thierry (1825), Francois Guizot (1820s), Victor Considerant
(1843), Benjamin Disraeli (1845), and Alexis de Toqueville (1847/48)
The undeniable misery of the
working class, and the term “class
struggle” far from having been discovered by
Marx and Engels, had in fact been the foremost topic of contemporary
politics and ideology. In fact, Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is
reported to have discussed the burning problem of “pauperism”
caused by the inexorable impoverishment of workers in a “Laissez
Faire” Capitalist economic system.
The “Gilded Age” of
the 1920s saw the rise of corporate power in the U.S. with the
concentration of massive economic and political power in the hands of
a relatively small number of people, and expansion of the U.S.
economic and military empire throughout Central and South America and
into the South Pacific. The flaws inherent in an unregulated market
brought the Free Market Laissez Faire party to a disastrous end in
1929. Corporate behavior unchecked by the interests of the general
public and a de facto one party government led to that age’s
end with the onset of the Great Depression. Market reforms, started
prior to the collapse by Teddy Roosevelt and completed by his cousin,
Franklin, have been a source of seething anger among the wealthy and
powerful ever since.
The Class Struggle Returns
Until the emergence of the NFC
Republican movement, an unwritten social agreement had
existed between the slightly right-of-center
traditional-Conservatives and the slightly left-of-center
traditional-liberals on the reforms that made the American
Liberal Democratic system work for people of all
classes. They had effectively dealt with the defects or weaknesses of
free market capitalism, to prevent the development of a nation of two
classes; with the rich getting ever richer, while the poor got ever
poorer. This unwritten social democracy compact created the greatest
middle-class, and the most stable and enduring Democracy in world
history.
This issue was solved by the
gradual development of a uniquely American system of Social Justice
and Economic Regulation and Reform, which included; Free Public
Education, Progressive Income Taxes, Corporate Regulation, Control of
Monopolies, Conservation of Natural Resources and Land, Limitations
on Inheritance rights, Rights of Workers to Organize and Strike, A
Minimum Living Wage, Public Health Programs, Welfare to assist
Impoverished Families, and a host of other social justice measures
which were Christian in the purest sense; and which preserved Free
Will, Personal Freedom, Entrepreneurship, and Property rights of the
people; while providing for necessary and legitimate functions of
government. Under this system, America’ corporations flourished
as well as the standard of living of the people; and the U.S.
produced the largest and most productive and profitable economy in
the world.
“Labor
is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit
of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first
existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the
higher consideration”
President
Abraham Lincoln, December 3, 1861
This unique American compromise
solution provided many of the necessary reforms that were needed to
avoid the types of societal revolutions that have continued to occur
in other countries. The CNF
Republicans and their Corporate
masters, who are the new Aristocratic
rulers of American Society; are now in the process of
reneging on the American Democratic System of Social Justice and
Economic Reform, by dismantling the entire system, so carefully
constructed during the past 200+ years, and especially during
the “New Deal”
by what have been called the “Aristocratic
Turncoats”
The
Aristocratic Turncoats
In some cases, a member of the
ruling class, for whatever motive, has thrown his support to the
people, at the expense of the ruling elites. Examples include
Progressive populist
(people’s party) leaders such as Julius Caesar, Thomas
Jefferson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Julius Caesar, a descendant of a
noble Patrician Roman family, and a highly successful military
commander, decided not to ally himself with the Aristocratic
Patricians
and their political party called the “Optimates”
in the Roman Senate, but instead, for his first political office,
became a “Tribune”
an elected “Populares”
(populist) party representative of the “plebes”
or the common people. History records that the aristocratic Senators
assassinated Caesar in 44 BC, because he was acquiring too much
power, and had become a threat to the Republic, but this was the
history written by the ruling class.
When his nephew, Caesar Augustus,
acquired even greater powers as the first Imperator,
he allowed the Aristocratic Senate to continue to function as a sort
of limited legislative branch to his Imperial government, over which
he had ultimate control. His descendants followed the same charade,
and were all absolute despotic Dictators of what they claimed to be a
Republic, but which had become an ultimately unstable Autocratic
Empire.
It is more likely that Julius
Caesar was murdered by the Aristocratic Senators because they
considered him a traitor to the Conservative
Patrician ruling class; as he was beginning to distribute
Roman provincial land to his lower class plebeian soldiers, and
appointing Knights of the Equestrian Order (middle class) to
Senatorial rank.
Thomas Jefferson, who was a
wealthy landowner and slave holder, was an Aristocrat, but he
established himself early on as a champion of the common man. For
example he and John Adams demanded that the Bill of Rights be
included in the Constitution, whereas Alexander Hamilton, who built
the Federalist
Party, was opposed to including the Bill of Rights.
The Federalists were eventually forced to agree, to amending the
Constitution, to include the Bill of Rights, as a price of obtaining
support for ratification.
Secretary of State Jefferson and
others, who served in the first term of George Washington, despised
the Aristocratic
Paleo-conservative Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton,
and his fiscal and foreign policies.
Out of respect for President
Washington, they stayed on until 1793. Jefferson then led the first
opposition party, called the “Anti-Federalist
Party”. This later became identified as the
“Republican Party”,
then the “Democratic-Republicans”,
and finally the “Democratic
Party”
President Roosevelt, who was a
descendant of an American Aristocratic family, was despised by the
conservative ruling class, for his genuine populist
New Deal policies which gave rights to minorities, and
which redistributed some of the Nation’s commonwealth to the
common man, who was in urgent need during the Great
Depression.
“The
spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me
To
preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted, To proclaim Liberty to the captives And recovery of
sight to the blind, To set at Liberty those who are oppressed”
Jesus
Christ, The King James Bible, Luke, 4:18
Roosevelt’s American
Liberal Democratic New
Deal economic policies and social justice programs,
were aimed at reducing social misery by helping the American people
to recover from the Great Depression, and to prevent such
dislocations of Free Market Capitalism from ever threatening the
nation again. He did this without causing political instability or
surrendering to the extreme measures advocated by of the Communist or
the Fascist movements. This earned him the hatred of the Corporate
Robber Barons and the moneyed Aristocrats of his day.
The
First Fascist Plot to Destroy Liberal Democracy in the USA
“Democracy
in the West is the forerunner of Marxism and is the feeding ground of
that world pestilence” Adolf
Hitler, Mein Kampf
Time magazine was created in 1923,
as a propaganda vehicle for the powerful Financial and Industrial
interests, grouped around the banking empire of J.P. Morgan. Morgan
provided start up cash for Henry Luce, a Yale University graduate,
and member of the Skull and Bones Society. (has routinely included
the sons of the American Economic and Political Aristocratic ruling
class, such as the Bushes). Time and Fortune magazine became the core
of what would grow into a Corporate Propaganda Empire that earned
Luce great power to influence mass public opinion.
In the 1920s, Luce became
America’s Elmer Gantry for Fascism. He was an ardent advocate
of Fascist
Nationalism, and toured the country selling
Mussolini’s concepts to America’s business elite and
upper class. The American public was introduced to Benito Mussolini
and Fascism in one of Time’s first issues, when on August 6,
1923, Luce decided to celebrate Il Duce’s 40th
birthday by placing his portrait on the cover of Time. This was the
first of five Time cover appearances for the Dictator of Italy.
Luce promoted the idea that
America’s corporate and banking leaders were America’s
Aristocracy, and more qualified to run the U.S. government than any
politician, he is quoted saying that;
“It
is not a seat in Congress, but on the directorate of our great
corporations, which our countrymen regard as the greater post of
honor and responsibility” Henry Luce, Skull and Bones
Member
In
1928, Luce declared the U.S. Constitution obsolete and called for:
“…a
new form of government.”
On
April 19, 1934 in a speech to the Chamber of Commerce, in Scranton,
Pa. Luce said:
“The
moral force of Fascism, appearing in totally different forms in
different nations, may be the inspiration for the next general march
of mankind” Henry Luce, Skull and Bones Member
At that time the ideology of
Fascism had a large following in the U.S. Mussolini and Hitler were
admired by the right wing Nationalist and Fiscal and Social
Conservatives, who were against all of the programs of the New Deal,
especially Social Security.
Luce had a deep hatred of FDR and
the New Deal, which he constantly attacked as Socialism,
on his speaking tours across the country; but it was later learned
that he did more than just make speeches against FDR and Liberal
Democracy.
In 1934, it was revealed, in
hearings before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC)
that Conservative Wall Street Bankers, and Industrial leaders,
undoubtedly instigated by J.P. Morgan interests; had actually plotted
to overthrow President Roosevelt, and establish an American
Fascist dictatorship, similar to those emerging in Europe.
Their Ideological descendants
are still trying to dismantle every genuine Liberal and Humanitarian
program of the New Deal, and replace them with the Raw Deal;
benefiting only the Super-rich and powerful!
Luce had played a major role in
the conspiracy, and had prepared the entire July 1934 issue of
Fortune as a detailed political, economic, and cultural endorsement
of Fascism. The issue was timed to appear as the conspiracy went into
its final motions. It was undoubtedly planned to persuade the
American people to accept and support the Coup-d-etat,
and the transition to American
Fascism.
This
Corporatist-Conservative traitorous conspiracy was unprecedented in
American political history!
The plotters made a major blunder,
when they tried to recruit Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley
Butler to join the conspirators, and assume a role comparable to a
Prime Minister in the new government. Butler refused and reported the
plot. He then testified concerning the plot before the HUAC in 1934.
General Butler was a famous marine
who had risen through the ranks from enlisted private to Major
General. He was the most respected soldier in America, having been
awarded the Medal of Honor on two occasions for bravery in action.
General Butler was a vocal critic of Colonialism and U.S. Foreign
policy toward poor third world nations, and this caused him to be
passed over for the post of Marine Corps Commandant.
Butler had retired with over 33
years of service, and was a National hero. He made more than 300
speeches a year to Veteran’s groups, and wrote a book called
“War is a Racket”
in which he bitterly criticized his own involvement over his entire
career. In angry eloquence, Butler often referred to himself as a
“Racketeer
and Gangster for Capitalism” He bitterly opposed
WWI and the War profiteers.
“War
is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily
the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one
international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are
reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A Racket is best
described, I believe as something that is not what it seems to the
majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is. The
bill renders a horrible accounting; newly placed gravestones, mangled
bodies, shattered minds, broken hearts and homes, economic
instability. depression, and all its attendant miseries,
back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.
What
does it matter to the men who are killed? What does it profit those
who are maimed? What does it profit their mothers and sister, their
wives and their sweethearts? What does it profit their children? What
does it profit the nation?
Take our own case. Until 1898
we didn’t own a bit of territory outside of the mainland of
North America. At the time our national debt was a little more than
$1,000,000,000. Then we became "internationally minded." We
forgot, or shunted aside, the advice of the father of our Country. We
forgot Washington’s warning about "entangling alliances."
We went to war. We acquired outside territory” “War Is A
Racket,” by
M/Gen Smedley D. Butler, Chap. 1
In 1934, the first American
Fascist’s plans were foiled by this traditional-
conservative patriotic military officer, but one who
firmly believed in American Liberal Democracy and the Constitution.
The
Plot was swept under the carpet by the Paleo-Fascist Conservative
Republicans in Congress!
American
Fascists were forced to lay low for decades after the WWII
debacle of the European Fascists; but their political descendants
have been at work undermining American Liberal Democracy, almost from
the defeat of the Fascist Axis Powers at the end of the war in 1945.
So vehement was the sentiment of
the Conservatives and Fascists of Roosevelt’s time, that he
might have been assassinated, had it not been for his popularity with
the people, the crisis of World War II, and his successful pursuit of
Allied Victory over the European Fascists; whose aggressive wars and
barbaric conduct shocked the world. (at least one assassination plot
was attempted).
Never changing his domination
stripes, Luce wrote in a famous Life magazine editorial published in
1941, prophetically called the “New
American Century”, where he predicted;
“We
must accept whole-heartedly our duty and our opportunity as the most
powerful and vital nation in the world, and in consequence to exert
upon the world, the full impact of our influence, for such purposes
as we see fit.” Henry Luce, Skull and Bones Member
Later Luce argued in the pages of
Life, for Preventive
Nuclear War against the Soviet Union. Luce’s
un-democratic and un-Christian Fascist ideas have eerily reappeared
in the Neo-Conservative “Program
For A New American Century” (PNAC), the
Grand Strategy of the NFC
Republicans of the 21st Century.
The threat of Godless
Communist Socialism gave Nationalist-Conservatives
and the National Security apparatus, an opportunity to enlist the
help of thousands of former Nazi officers, Scientists, and
Intelligence agents, for the Cold War. Many European Fascist war
criminals were not prosecuted; they were pardoned, protected and
employed by the Nationalist-Conservatives
of the European and American right wing, with the willing help of the
U.S. CIA, FBI, and Military Intelligence.
The
Successful Neo-Fascist Plot to Assassinate an American Liberal
Democratic President
A few decades later, the wealthy
Aristocratic turncoat, John
F. Kennedy, was not so fortunate. The assassination of
Kennedy in 1963, has been a source of continuous controversy, caused
by an obvious cover-up by the Warren Commission, which was packed
with such Nationalist-Conservatives,
as Chief Justice Earl Warren, Director of the CIA, Allen Dulles, John
J. McCloy, supported by the closest thing America has had to a
Heinrich Himmler; J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI.
The fundamental facts however, are
very clear, Kennedy was killed in Dallas, Texas; a hotbed of
Ultra-Nationalist-Conservative
organizations, such as, the John Birch Society, and other white
Arch-Conservative right wing movements, that were enraged at
Kennedy’s withdrawal of American military support to the
ill-fated invasion of Cuba; and for his efforts to continue the
liberalization of Federal and State laws, to end segregation in the
South, and to give blacks the civil rights and economic opportunities
enjoyed by white Americans.
Evidence shows that Lee Harvey
Oswald had been one of a group of Army and Marine patriots that had
volunteered to become CIA operatives; been trained in the Russian
language, became false turncoats, and defected to Russia to try to
obtain Human
Intelligence (HUMINT) on the Russian military buildup.
Oswald almost certainly became the scapegoat of a right wing
Neo-Fascist
plot to kill Kennedy, and turn the nation to the right.
Kennedy had acquired a host of
enemies both within and outside the government as a result of many
issues, but none was more volatile than the civil rights issues. In
September 1962 the worst federal and state crisis since the Civil War
was brewing in the state of Mississippi, which entered a state of
virtual armed rebellion against the federal government over repeated
attempts by Air Force veteran James H. Meredith to register as the
first African-American student at the University of Mississippi,
backed by a federal court order.
On the night of September 30, 1962
300 U.S. Marshals faced off against an army of over 2,000 rioters
across a battlefield, illuminated by firebombs and tear-gas
explosions. The rioters attacked with shotguns, Molotov cocktails,
and a hijacked bulldozer and fire engine; and repeatedly charged the
marshals from behind Confederate flags, drawing them into
hand-to-hand combat. Blood began to flow as the crisis slipped out of
control.
Just after nine P.M. a tall figure
in a white cowboy hat appeared on the edge of the battlefield. It was
recently retired Major
General, Edwin A. Walker, U.S. Army Retired.
Walker had led Eisenhower’s troops in the 1957 Little
Rock integration crisis, but had quit the Army under fire after
giving right wing-propaganda to his troops. Now he had become a
segregationist firebrand, who proclaimed that the federal court order
on Meredith was part of:
“…the
conspiracy of the crucifixion by Anti-Christ conspirators on the
Supreme Court”
Rioters
gathered around the wild-eyed Walker and he climbed on a Civil war
battle monument shouting:
“Don’t
let up…you must be prepared for possible
death…Protest!..Protest!.. Stand by your governor…
Eyewitnesses reported this was the
turning point that pushed the riot out of control and triggered
organized charges by hundreds of rioters in large groups. After a
long night of rioting, two lay dead and hundreds wounded. The next
morning 20,000 U.S. troops arrived and eventually restored order
after fighting for hours with bands of armed roughnecks. Edwin Walker
and a host of other anti-segregationist Southerners were entirely
capable and agitated enough about integration to have ordered the
assassination; but it is more likely that the killing was connected
somehow to the aborted Bay of Pigs invasion by the CIA and the former
Batista Cuban exiles.
Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther
King, Robert Kennedy, and a host of other Liberal civil rights
advocates have paid with their lives, to end the evils of slavery and
segregation that have divided the country, since it’s founding.
The scourge of
Nationalist-Conservative
political factions has been with us, since the beginning of the
nation. Here in the new world, the citizens of the British Colonies
became divided politically between the Liberal Whigs and the
Conservative Tories. The Whigs supported the colonists and the
Independence movement. The Tories were against the War of
Independence from England, and generally supported the English
Monarchy.
They were a few of the
Paleo-Fascist
Conservatives, or the first American ideological ancestors of
the CNF Republicans.
A
Black Record of U.S. Paleo-Fascist Conservative Tyranny
There is not enough room in this
Essay to recount the many injustices and sheer genocide which the
Paleo-Conservative white Anglo-American settlers wrought on the
Native-American population, as they moved ever westward. Suffice to
say that the blessings of Liberty as envisioned by these Christian
conquerors, did not include the American Indians.
The
Slaughter of the Innocents:
When
it was day the soldiers returned to the Fort, having massacred or
murdered eighty Indians, and considering that they had done a deed of
Roman Valour, in murdering so many in their sleep; where infants were
torn from their mother’s breasts, and hacked to pieces in the
presence of the parents, and the pieces thrown into the fire and in
the water, and other sucklings were bound to small boards , and then
cut, stuck, and pierced, and miserably massacred in a manner to move
a heart of stone” David Pietrersz De Vries,
describing the Pavonia massacre by New York Dutch Colonial troops,
February 25-26, 1643
During the framing of the U.S.
Constitution, there was a major split between the Representatives of
the Northern and Southern Colonies over the issue of slavery. To get
a Constitution passed, the more Liberal and moderate Christian
representatives of the Northern Colonies that opposed slavery; were
forced to accept a compromise with the Paleo-Fascist
Conservative representatives of the Southern Colonies,
over the non-Christian practice of slavery. This moral, ideological,
and economic issue, was to result in the American Civil War less than
a Century later. This unnecessary and tragic war resulted in the
deaths of 359,528 Union soldiers, and 258,000 of their
fellow Americans, on the Confederate side.
“What
to the American slave, is your 4th of July? To him, your celebration
is a sham; your national greatness is swelling vanity; your sounds of
rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants,
brass-fronted impudence; a thin veil to cover up crimes which would
disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth
guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of
the United States, at this very hour.”
Frederick
Douglas, July 4, 1852
After the Civil War, the
southerners chafed under the inevitable reconstruction abuses of the
occupying Federal Army and the Republican Party carpetbaggers.
This resulted in the U.S. Southern states becoming solid Democratic
Party bloc voters. This lasted until the mid 1960s; when the passage
of a slate of Democratic Party sponsored Civil Rights legislation,
especially the Voting Rights Act, granted American blacks, full
citizenship, denied them since the ratification of the Constitution.
Here again, the unprincipled NFC
Republicans were on the wrong side of morality and
Christianity, as Richard Nixon invented the divisive, but successful
Southern
Strategy which shamefully encouraged, and then
exploited, southern White's fear, anger and bigotry, for political
gain. Eventually, most of the Southern Conservative-Democratic
politicians abandoned their party and became Republicans.
“As
I say on the cover of my book, it's that they've taken over the party
of Lincoln. You could just look at the electoral map and you know
that. It's the old Confederacy. And they've expanded it to the new
booming Southwest. That and the Mountain West is their core base.
There are people that essentially are the old David Duke crowd -- the
Northern European, white, Protestant, small town, middle and
lower-middle classes -- and their time has come. They're tired of all
these foreigners that came in after '48 or after the Civil War, and
all those two million Jews and all those Southern European Catholics
-- those dusty people -- all those. They feel it's time to take back
America. In essence, this is the revenge of the South for losing the
Civil War.”
George
E. Lowe: Author, Can "It" Happen Here? Hasn't "It"
Already?
A Fascist Christian America; in an interview with
Buzzflash.
By the early 21st
Century, with a few exceptions, such as the cities of Atlanta and New
Orleans, the American South from Virginia to Florida and from Texas
to Georgia had become an NFC
Republican bastion, from which they launched their
nationwide drive for absolute power.
By 2005, the Congessional
delegations and state assemblies of the old confederate states, are
virtually all controlled by NFC
Republicans, except for a small number of impotent
minority representatives.
Aristocratic turncoats and Liberal
Democracy advocates, such as FDR, have been responsible for all
programs, throughout history, that have benefited the people, the
commonwealth, and the moral and cultural spirit of every nation. Here
in the U.S. they spearheaded the liberating movements to; end child
labor, authorize labor unions, allow women and Blacks the vote, allow
immigration, and hundreds of similar measures that have benefited the
common man and woman, and the commonwealth of the nation.
These programs were sometimes
unfortunately couched in symbolic terms of a War, such as the War
on Poverty, but their priorities have always been for
the people first. The Conservatives, whether Republicans or
Democrats, have always opposed these reforms and sided with the
Super-wealthy, the privileged, the powerful, and the well connected,
and always against the people’s interests.
“For
we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly
places”
The
King James Bible, Paul the Evangelist, Ephesians 6:12
The programs of the NFC
Republicans; reflect their idolization of warfare,
conquest, and domination; so valued by their ideological mentors in
1930s Europe. The NFC
Republicans always employ the symbol of War,
for all of their radical reactionary programs, but in their case,
they have in fact, pursued one violent real War after another, on the
common interests of the American people, and on any nation that they
claim is against the Corporate Vital
Interests of the U.S.
Perpetual
War:
“All
animals are forever warring; each kind is born to devour another. God
gave reason to man; using it, he should scorn to debase himself by
aping animals, especially since he has neither, natural equipment for
killing nor instinct for sucking blood. The most wonderful part of
the infernal business is that each leader of murderers causes his
colors to be blessed and before setting out on carnage, piously
invokes God.” Francois Voltaire
They
NFC Republicans Proudly Claim the Title of America’s War
Party.
