Fascism is on the March all Over the Globe, and America is no Exception
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

RIP, George Herbert Walker Bush. – I was awake in the middle of the night when I heard about the passing at the age of 94 of former President George H.W. Bush, just eight months after the death of former First Lady Barbara Bush. I laid awake thinking of what to say about it all. I didn’t agree with him about things, did agree with him about others, but let’s just leave the politics to others, because I’m not going to say anything negative about such a gracious man who was an institution in my favorite city of Houston, and served his country with honor and valor in World War II.

I literally ran into President Bush and the First Lady at a reception at the Johnson Space Center in Pasadena 26 years ago, and almost got arrested for it. I was walking along talking with a couple of friends, not looking where I was headed when the Bush’s suddenly emerged from the gift shop and I bumped right into him. A couple of Secret Service guys properly rushed in and started walking me and my friends away, but the President just laughed, called them off, and then – as was typical of Mr. Bush – spent about five minutes chatting us up before the agents convinced him to move along.

We’ll hear hundreds of stories like this over the next several days – seems like half the residents of Houston have a story like it to tell – because that was who this particular President was in his personal life. In the end, regardless of what anyone thinks about how he went about it, he leaves behind a lifetime of service to his country, in the process compiling a resume as impressive as anyone in our nation’s history, and that is something to respect and admire.

Rest in Peace, Poppy. You deserve it.

NPR jumps headlong into the newsfaking business. – Ok, NPR was already there to some extent, but this week they showed they’re serious about it. The news fakers over there smeared Donald Trump, Jr. on Friday, running with a fake story and then refusing to properly retract it and issue a real correction.

The story, published early Friday morning, falsely alleged Trump, Jr.’s testimony before congress about a short-lived plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow several years before the 2016 elections conflicted with that of Michael Cohen, who plead guilty for lying to congress over the matter earlier in the week. But a reading of the transcript of that committee hearing – a transcript that NPR itself was quoting from – very quickly and easily showed that Trump Jr. had said nothing at all that was in any way untrue.

NPR let the story linger out there in the ether of the Internet for five long hours until, late on a Friday afternoon, after all the other fake news media outlets had had a chance to roll it into fake stories of their own, they finally issued a semi-correction, but left the original piece still sitting out there basically unchanged. This is despicable, inexcusable behavior, something we’d expect from CNN or the New York Times.

Apparently, that’s where the people in charge want to take NPR. What a sad day.

This is what creeping fascism looks like. – In the second week of December, representatives from all over the world will meet in Marrakesh to approve and commit their countries to something called the “International Compact on Migration.” As you can see from watching the video below, the goal of the compact will be to make criticism of mass migration…wait for it… a HATE CRIME punishable with prison time:

Embedded video

Manny_Ottawa @manny_ottawa This violates very essence of free speech and a free society.

Frightening.

“Criticism of migration will become a criminal offense, & media outlets who give room to criticism of migration can be shut down”

USA is safe thanks to @POTUS Canada is not

1,520 1:54 PM - Nov 30, 2018 1,605 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy As the writer notes, the U.S. will not have anyone in Marrakesh thanks to President Donald Trump, and will not become a party to this fascist compact. But Canada will, and you can bet most of the fading European semi-democracies will be there as well. These international compacts are not binding, but their provisions do end up working their ways into the laws of the signatory nations like cockroaches eating their way into your kitchen baseboards.

Here’s the lesson: If the 2016 election had gone the other way, President Pantsuit Princess would have her emissary there under orders to be the first signatory to this completely anti-democracy compact.

Frightening indeed.

Here’s what a headlong rush into fascism looks like. – But hey, if you want to see fascism already in full force here in the United States, here you go:

Luke Rosiak ✔ @lukerosiak EXCLUSIVE! FBI Raids Home Of Whistleblower On Clinton Foundation, Lawyer Says https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/29/fbi-whistleblower-clinton-uranium/ … via @dailycaller

1,336 10:21 PM - Nov 29, 2018 Twitter Ads info and privacy

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raids Home Of Whistleblower On Clinton Foundation, Lawyer Says 'An outrageous disregard of the law'

dailycaller.com 1,272 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy The rest of your fake news media studiously ignored this huge story, which should not surprise anyone, since the whistleblower in question was in possession of documents damaging to the Pantsuit Princess and Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The documents in question relate to the Uranium One scandal, in which both Mueller and the Fainting Felon were heavily involved, and to the Clinton Foundation.

The whistleblower, a poor schlub named Dennis Cain, had done his duty to the country, turning the documents over to a congressional committee investigating both matters. He was assured by both the committee and by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz that he was doing so under the auspices of the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act. After his client delivered the documents to Horowitz, Cain’s lawyer says he was assured by Horowitz that an assistant would hand-carry them over to the congressional committee.

The FBI agents who showed up at Cain’s home allegedly told him he was in possession of “stolen government property”, and, after Cain had turned the documents and his personal computer over to them, spent another six hours ransacking Cain’s home. This is Gestapo behavior.

The lesson here? These whistleblower protection laws mean nothing if you’re blowing the whistle on someone named Clinton or Mueller.

Hey, what the hell is Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker doing in his new job, anyway?

That is all. Follow me on Twitter at @GDBlackmon

In my opinion, Fascism has been the dominant political philosophy since early in the 20th century. Sure, Mussolini and Hitler made it famous and they lost WWII, but Fascism didn’t suffer much of a set back. When Eisenhower warned about the “Military-Industrial Complex” I think he was warning us about the continuation of Fascism. It’s alive and kicking today. Some folks think you only have Fascism if you’re actively killing millions of Jews. Well, No. Fascism is about big government control, loss of religion, loss of morality, loss of individual rights, and economic power shared by Big Government and Big Business. It’s Globalism. Only Trump stands in its way now.

Thank God Trump got in. I’m not an American, but I pray for him everyday.

I know Canada will sign this. I do hope we can fix this next year, if not, civility will be off the books.

It will be time for separation or becoming a US state even. That’s all far more preferable than waiting to die.

turning the documents over to a congressional committee investigating both matters. In January, the dims will run the house. This raid was a belt and suspenders move to make sure all the info on Clinton and Mueller disappear.

With the Antifa antics and commie lib Waters snowflakes running Americans out of restaurants and other businesses, I’d say fascism IS WORSE IN AMERICA than anywhere else on the planet. The Nazi fascists are on a roll here wearing an “antifascist” balaclava mask to hide their face.

Yes, it is very clear that fascism has been spawned in the USA and manifests in various nations internationally dedicated to socialism as their governing principle.

This article does a great job in explaining the trend and perhaps we can stop it in its tracks:

“Barrack Obama: The Quintessential Liberal Fascist”

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

In large this is why PDJT is propagandized as the anti-Christ. He has been very effective at countering them, with the greatest exposure being to Merkle of the GDR.

Leftardism and nazism have the same fundamental formula, which is the result of a rejection of reality and reason: irrationalism + subjectivism + relativism + collectivism + altruism + pragmatism + statism + socialism = anything goes & ends justify the means & might makes right

This definition seems to be still abit cloudy. I looked it up on the net, and here is a concise one from dictionary.com:

========

Fascism

noun

1. ( sometimes initial capital letter ) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

2. ( sometimes initial capital letter ) the philosophy, principles, or methods of fascism.

3. ( initial capital letter ) a political movement that employs the principles and methods of fascism, especially the one established by Mussolini in Italy 1922–43.

If the FBI had a court order to search the person's home, this is not fascism. We do not have a dictator, Criticism of the resident and the various branches of federal, state, and local governments is rampant and outrageously unsurpressed. Someone needs to tone things down a biy on this AntiFa stuff; sounds more like Fa than Ani in itself. They are the ones that want to take away the liberties in speech, religion, and dress.

The Left has been on the "long march through the institutions" for a long time. We know they control the media. We know they control the schools. If you go looking for an "official" definition of Fascism, you may find something which is slightly diverting -- something slightly comforting -- "Oh! We don't have Fascism! We don't have an actual dictator! We're not in danger!"

They often say Fascism is right-wing. It isn't.
They say you need a dictator. You don't.

Our elections are a mockery. They never thought Trump would win. Do we elect our leaders? Are our politicians truly answerable to us? McCain? Ryan? Flake? Pelosi?

I suggest that we are under more of a dicatorship than may be apparent. The government runs itself. The Deep State. They do what they want, and they don't care what you think.

With Fascism growing and spreading, that’s exactly why we need Antifa. /s/

Antifa is the epitome of radical fascism. they claim to be the counter to Fascism, but everything about them screams out fascism. They are outlawed in Europe, partly for who they are and what they espouse

You are so right. In his introduction to his book, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, C.S. Lewis, said, “We must picture HELL as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and lives the deadly passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment. The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid “dens of crime” that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration and labor camps. In those we see it’s final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern.” Lewis goes on to say, “For, of course, “dog eat dog” is the principle of the whole organization. Everyone wishes everyone else’s discrediting, demotion, and ruin; everyone is an expert in the confidential report, the pretended alliance, the stab in the back. Over all their good manners and expressions of respect, their “tributes” to one another’s invaluable services form a thin cruse, which every now and then gets punctured, and the scalding lava of their hatred spurts out.” Once Trump was elected President, we have seen nothing from the American left, especially the press, but scalding lava and I believe Dr. Lewis gives us a very clear explanation as to the genesis of such hatred. Fascism may not be actively killing millions at present, but left in place, it will get there for the loss of religion and morality guarantees that.

You’re right, of course; but I don’t think you can call the mess as fascism. Mo st people have no idea what it actually does, actually, if you ask them. To me it seems like we have achannelled form of anarchy. Try to enforce commonly agreed codes and statutes, and you are then: An anarchist! Sock it! Block it! Spit on it! Scream at it! But by all means, avoid sane discussion.

Fascism and progressivism have a lot in common, and they borrowed ideas from each other. People like Dinesh D’Souza, Jonah Goldberg, Glenn Beck, and others have written about the connections.
