PART FOUR
CONCLUSION
Unite and Act Now to Liberate America
"Eternal Vigilance is the price of liberty." Wendell Phillips, abolitionist, orator, and columnist.
During the 1960s, after the Kennedy/Johnson Administration, the NFC- Republican politicians and their ruling class sponsors, were traumatized by the success of the Liberal-Democracy grass roots protest campaigns against the Vietnam war, the Civil Rights movement, and accompanying racial riots, the questioning of authority figures, the widespread use of street drugs, and the Freedom movements of the Latino immigrants and farm workers. These Aristocratic rulers were obviously losing political control all across the country. They then decided to embrace an extreme Neo-Fascist-Conservative counter-revolution to bring the country back under their control, as it had been for most of the past 200 years.
For the past thirty years the American people have witnessed the rise of this progressively more Authoritarian NFC political movement that has become increasingly imperial, dictatorial, and un-American in its nature. The leaders of the Republican Party have become true believers of the NFC ideology, which has now become political religious dogma to all, but a shrinking number of Republican moderates.
Government Control:
“There must be some exquisite pleasure in governing, to judge from the numbers who are eager to be concerned with it.”
Francois Voltaire, 18th Century French Philosopher of the Enlightenment
Like their Fascist predecessors, they resolved to gain control legally; first by dominating the Republican party, and then to use any unethical, but legal means, to gain total political control of the nation. Their goal has been to mold the nation to their vision of an all powerful despotic Authoritarian state; flexing its muscles at home and abroad. Theirs is a very foreign concept to most modern Americans, and not the nation envisioned by the founding fathers.
“…when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such a government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”
The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
In the last four decades the NFC Republicans succeeded in; capturing the control of the Republican Party, then all branches of the U.S. Government for six years, by defrauding a large percentage of the American electorate to believe in, and support their fundamentally Un-American Neo-Fascist Conservative ideology. They will not go quietly into the night.
“Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation [of power] first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence,"
Thomas Jefferson, 1821.
In previous sections I have explained the powerful attraction of this false or pseudo-populist Neo-Conservative ideology to the American voters, who have been persuaded that their traditional moderate personal conservatism (with a little “c”) is the same as the Radical Conservatism now being imposed on the nation by the current NFC Republican leaders.
“The less human and less humane among politicians, behave like beasts of prey, Like Lions and Foxes, they sometimes overcome us with Force and violence as would lions, or trick and defraud us as would foxes, only because of social mans need to cooperate.”
Niccolo Machiavelli
Anticipate and Defeat Despicable NFC Tactics
If there is a decline and fall of the American Republic, it will not be caused by a foreign enemy, but by the tactics of the NFC Republicans, who like the Roman nobles, have caused a continuing series of domestic quarrels among the American people.
“After a diligent inquiry, I can discern four principal causes of the ruin of Rome, which continued to operate in a period of more than a thousand years. I. The injuries of time and nature; II. The hostile attacks of the barbarians, and Christians; III. The use and abuse of the materials; and IV. The domestic quarrels of the Romans. I have reserved for last and most potent and forcible cause of destruction, the domestic hostilities of the Romans themselves…In a dark period of five hundred years, Rome was perpetually afflicted by the sanguinary quarrels of the nobles and the people…”
The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, by Edward Gibbon
One of the most despicable, but effective, tactics of the NFC Republicans has been to wage a continuing war of divide and conquer. In every Republican campaign since Nixon, the party has used demonization, lies, rumors, dirty tricks, and propaganda by mass communications; to appeal to the fear and prejudices of the electorate, pitting; Whites against Blacks, Blacks against Latinos, Straights against Gays, Men against Women, Citizens against Immigrants, Consumers against Labor, Urban against Rural, Evangelical Protestant Christians against Jews, Muslims, Catholics, and atheists, and everyone against the demonized; Lefties, Pinkos, Commies, Homos, Socialists, Marxists, Criminals, Traitors, Terrorists, and worst of all---the Liberals; enemies of Christ and the faithful!
For thirty years, they have been traveling down the sinister slippery slope of demonization of opponents, so effectively used by the first Fascists!
The NFC Republicans know that the fundamental divisions in America are not; ethnic, religious, gender, sexual preference, race, etc., but are between the NFC Ideology of Class, Greed, Power, and Privilege, and the Liberating Ideology of Freedom, Liberty, Equality, and Liberal-Democracy. As long as they can foment false divisions among the people, they will maintain their stranglehold on the nation’s resources, and control the people.
During the 2004 Presidential elections, some Americans, incredibly responded to the Fear and Smear campaign and despicable lies of the Swift Boat Veterans, an NFC Republican dirty tricks project, which falsely discredited the war record of Senator john Kerry, a legitimate war hero. A majority of voters then voted for a proven draft dodger; who used political influence to avoid combat service in the Vietnam War. Such Un-American tactics of the desperate Win-at-any-Price, NFC Republicans, have become the rule in every one of their campaigns, such as the Law and Order Soft on Crime mantra against the Democratic Party, and the anti-Black Willie Horton ads of the senior Bush campaign.
In the first Bush Jr. campaign for the Republican Party nomination, Moderate Senator John McCain, a former POW, and Vietnam War hero, was accused, in a Bush supported South Carolina television ad, of having a Black illegitimate child. The child was not black and was adopted. Bush did not condemn the Ad, or demand that it be pulled!
In the next Presidential election we can expect them to disclose some great scandal or personal weakness of the Democratic Candidates; similar to the phony accusations that Vice-Presidential Candidate Geraldine Ferraro and her family had ties to the Mafia, because she was an Italian-American.
The American Liberal-Democracy advocacy groups must anticipate this tactic and make Counterforce Pre-Emptive Strikes on the NFC candidates, and be prepared to issue Nuclear Responses to any NFC surrogate Fear and Smear attack.
The best example of this counter-force response was the famous Democratic Party TV AD of a Nuclear Bomb Explosion, which took no prisoners; by putting into vivid public imagination, the possible consequences of the reckless words of the Militarist-Arch-Conservative Presidential Candidate Barry Goldwater.
If they are confronted, like all cowards they will run or negotiate a cease fire, the election battles can then be waged on the issues, and they will lose.
To paraphrase Harry Truman: “Tell the Truth and they’ll think its Hell.”
Here are some of the Republican Fear and Smear tactics used in the 2006 Congressional elections:
President Bush himself tried to scare voters with ridiculous claims, saying that "terrorists win and America loses" if Democrats were to take control of Congress.
In Missouri, Michael J. Fox recently appeared in a heartfelt ad for Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, criticizing the Republican incumbent's opposition to stem cell research. The GOP smear machine immediately attacked Fox and McCaskill, with Rush Limbaugh even suggesting Fox was faking his symptoms of Parkinson's disease in the ad.
In Tennessee, the Republican Party ran racist ads aimed at dredging up some of the worst racial prejudices imaginable. The ads attacking Democratic Senate candidate Harold Ford, who is African-American, show a scantily clad white woman beckoning to him. The ad is so bad that some TV stations are refusing to run it, and non-political companies have fired the Republican consultants who made it. The RNC refused to denounce the disgusting ad, despite a public outcry.
In California, one Republican campaign took a page from the national GOP playbook, which calls for suppressing minority voters at every opportunity. The campaign sent a false and deliberately misleading mailing to Hispanics in the district that threatened jail time for any immigrant -- legal or not -- who tried to vote.
Unite To Survive
We the People, of America’s diverse population have the necessary votes to put an end to the Radical Neo-Fascist Conservative domination of our country. In the next election we must not permit ourselves to be divided against one another. This is why it is so critical that a nationwide Alliance of American Liberal-Democracy Interest groups join together now; and be prepared to issue forceful and unified responses to all such tactics in the 2008 election, and all future elections. We must form what Arthur Schlesinger has called a Vital Center to wage this do or die campaign.
It is important that this Alliance not be controlled and directed by the Democratic Party, but a reenergized People’s Democratic Party could be the beneficiary of this movement.
The NFC Republican Party, which controlled all three Branches of our Government, before the 2006 elections, had begun to systematically dismantle every safeguard and hard won right of the American people gained over the past two centuries.
They must be judged by their actions; which are always for the wealthy, and the powerful minority, and against the interests of the bulk of the American people.
“No political truth is certainly of greater intrinsic value, than that…the accumulation of powers, legislative, executive, and Judiciary, in the same hands…may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny”
James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 47
Throughout its history, Americans have had a reputation as a peaceful, generous, and fair people. Informed political analysts around the world, wonder what has happened to the souls of the American people, that they had been persuaded to buy into the same foreign ideology of greed, hatred, selfishness, self righteousness, and world domination that plunged the world into its worst World War, killing over 40 million victims.
Parallels between the Bush government policies and those of Italian, German, and Japanese societies in the 1930s, paint a convincing and frightening prospect for the U.S. and the world, if the NFC Republicans regain power in 2008.
Traditional-conservative Middle Class Americans have been defrauded.
It is vital therefore, that we work to reach all American voters, especially those who consider themselves conservative (with a little “c”) and inform them of the lies, hypocrisy, false promises, and Un-American nature of the Radical Neo-Fascist-Conservative Ideology, and the traditional liberating Ideology of American Liberal-Democracy.
“I am a Uniter, not a divider”
Candidate George W. Bush
In 2004, Mr. Bush, as the head of the Republican Party, which had for the first time in many decades, taken control of all branches of the U.S. government, could have demonstrated respect for the Constitution, the People, and the system of checks and balances of our Republic, by being scrupulously fair in dealing with the minority party and half of the population that did not support him. He promised to unite the country, but that was just one more false sound bite.
Instead, Mr. Bush and the NFC Republican Party dominated, Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branch ran roughshod over the rights, and interests of the representatives of half of the American people that opposed the Bush candidacy; with every issue decided on a strict partisan basis.
They in fact behaved like Bolsheviks; by trampling the rights of the minority, and behaving in a manner, contrary to our nation’s Democratic and parliamentary heritage and traditions, and that is dangerously Un-American.
“The ultimate aim of government is not to rule, or restrain, by fear, nor to exact obedience, but contrariwise, to free every man from fear, that he may live in all possible security; in other words, to strengthen his natural right to exist and work without injury to himself or others.”
Benedictus De Spinoza
By pursuing an extreme NFC ideology, in all of its governance, the Bush government failed in their oath to support and defend the Constitution, deeply divided the nation, along dangerous ideological fault lines, disturbed the Domestic Tranquility, sacrificed the General Welfare, and put at risk the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
“I think we’re at risk with our Democracy. I think we’re dealing with the most closed, Imperialistic, nastiest Administration in living memory. They even put Richard Nixon to shame.”
General Wesley Clark, January 16, 2004
Prevent Neo-Fascist Future Shock
The consequences of a new NFC Republican Government of the U.S. will be; Unilateral, Preventive, never-ending Wars against third world countries; a loss of even more civil liberties and human rights, more prisons, more executions of innocent defendants, including the mentally ill, and an overall reduction in the standard of living and quality of life in America, erosion of the middle class, including; unemployment, underemployment, sweatshop wages for American workers, unsafe working conditions, lack of health care for many more millions, more government manufactured crime, runaway pollution, and a new threat of religious strife from the extreme Christian-Nationalist Fundamentalist (CNF) Crusaders.
“You will determine whether rage or reason guides the United States in the struggle to come. You will choose whether we are known for revenge or compassion. You will choose whether we, too, will kill in the name of God, or whether in His name, we can find a higher civilization and a better means of settling our differences."
General Wesley Clark
War or Peace?
Iran is in great danger of being attacked until Bush leaves office in 2008. If the NFC Republicans regain power in 2008, the nations that are also in jeopardy are; Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, and China.
Instead of peace and prosperity, we can expect an age of perpetual war, national impoverishment, loss of liberties, and religious bigotry.
Prophetic Gaffe or Promise:
“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
President G. W. Bush, August 5, 2004
On November 7, 2006, the American people once again had the precious opportunity to vote for members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. It is understandable that the NFC Republicans continued to use all of the parliamentarian advantages which they enjoyed by virtue of owning all branches of government. However, as always, they resorted to dirty tricks, fear mongering, and divisive social issues that have become their hallmark. This time the American people ignored these emotional appeals to their worst fears and prejudices; and kept in mind that the peace, freedom, and liberty of their children and grandchildren were on the ballot. The people came out to vote in numbers never before seen in U.S. mid-term elections, and the Democrats were swept into control of both houses of Congress by a tidal wave of voter anger. There was finally some accountability for misleading a nation into an unprovoked, unnecessary and unlawful war; that has become a political, moral, economic, and military catastrophe.
By Halloween of 2006, the Bush regime had became desperate, claiming that a Democratic victory meant, "The terrorists win and America loses" The Bush comments simply confirmed that he is a small, petty, pathetic, and despicable Neo-Fascist fear-monger. This makes it imperative that the American voters cast their ballots for a Straight Democratic ticket in 2008, and put an end to the NFC Republicans unaccountable and dangerous power.
There is an even greater 2008 Election year threat to be prepared for. 2008 will not be just another election. The Bush regime, and the NFC Republicans are desperate. We already know that like all Fascists, they will not lose gracefully. They have already demonstrated that they will not debate or run on the real issues; the question is how committed are they to the extra-legal Neo-Fascist methods of holding power?,/
There is the real possibility that the desperate NFC Republicans, having once benefited from the 9/11 attack; and the fear mongering of Terrorism; may in the last two years of the Bush administration, resort to even more despicable tactics. Here are some not inconceivable scenarios;
Fear and Panic
In November 2005, the Veterans for Common Sense reported that an incredibly scary confidential memo was circulating among senior Republican leaders suggests that a new attack by terrorists on U.S. soil could reverse the sagging fortunes of President George W. Bush as well as the GOP and "restore his image as a leader of the American people."
The closely-guarded memo lays out a list of scenarios to bring the Republican party back from the political brink; including a devastating attack by terrorists that could “validate” the President’s war on terror and allow Bush to “unite the country” in a “time of national shock and sorrow.”
The memo says such a reversal in the President's fortunes could keep the party from losing control of Congress in the 2006 midterm elections. It reveals the extreme steps these criminal true believers were willing to take, to retain power; including allowing a terrorist group to conduct it’s attack without taking preventive action. (as many now believe happened on 9/11)
Another more sinister possibility is an attack with an agent such as Anthrax, which would leave no fingerprints, and could cause as much loss of life as a nuclear attack. The high quality of the 2001 Anthrax spores led experts to believe the perpetrator, still at large, was not linked to foreign terrorists, but possibly to the U.S. Government’s own Anthrax program per Charles J. Hanley. (AP, November 13, 2005)
Don’t Mess With Neo-Fascists
There has been some speculation that Pakistan, anxious to curry favor, may already have captured Osama bin Laden. The NFC Republicans would benefit tremendously by the sudden announcement of the capture of bin Laden, with his being marched before the cameras, in the final weeks leading up to the 2008 election.
Wag the Dog
Start a new Preventive War in the Middle East, in which the U.S. must come to the aid of Israel; involving the aerial attack or invasion of Iran or Syria, as a retaliation for a “False Flag” attack on our military forces in the Persian Gulf. or worse yet, a Preventive War launched by Israel against Iran. ( the Christian-Nationalists favorite)
God Made Me Do It
The NFC Republicans will claim that only they are the true defenders of the faith willing to get the Terrorists that had conducted a devastating attack on holy sites in Jerusalem or to an overseas Missionary facility that results in great loss of life.
“So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.”
Voltarine de Cleyre
It has been over two centuries since the people of the thirteen Colonies audaciously declared their independence from Great Britain. They knew their prospects for winning an armed rebellion against the might of the British Empire were exceedingly slim; and they also knew that if they didn’t win the struggle they would be treated as traitors to the Crown, and killed in a particularly horrible way.
But they were aflame with a remarkable new vision for humanity, one of recognizing that Liberty is not the gift of a sovereign, but rather the unalienable birthright of humanity, and of visualizing that government properly exists only by the consent of the governed. To seal their mutual dedication to the daunting task they had imposed upon themselves, they pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
We are fortunate to live in the Nation they founded, over two centuries later, and it is incumbent upon us to rededicate ourselves to the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, and to commit all our effort and energy to the great task of restoring Freedom to our country, and the vision of American Liberal-Democracy that was boldly proclaimed to the world on that day.
The New American Crisis:
“These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated.
Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, December 23, 1776
There is little time, pass the word, the Conservative Neo-Fascists and the Cristo-Fascists are still seeking absolute power, and they plan to destroy what is left of our precious Liberties and our free country! Let every American that believes in Liberty, Justice, Democracy, Civil Rights, Human Rights, and Freedom of Religion, come out to vote against the Neo-Fascist-Conservative Republican Candidates.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Edmund Burke, 1770
