Will The Great American Depression2.0 Lead to Fascism?

Looking at the history of Italian fascism, it was primarily a violent movement to restore the Roman Empire and oppose the Communist movement of Russia.



Given the american tendency towards war and violence, it seems all too possible that following the 2nd Great American Depression coming soon to a political theater near you, the religious right could continue to bastardize patriotism to signify a violent and radical movement.



This could become reality if the Pentagon and its leaders make a call to arms and gather the support of the TeaParty, who are mostly an armed militia in waiting, and all the soldiers, who are finding it difficult to return to civilian life after 10 years of middle east war.



Scary eh?

Fascism

Fascism (play /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2] Fascists advocate the creation of a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through indoctrination, physical education, and family policy including eugenics.[3] Fascists seek to purge forces, ideas, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration and produce their nation's rebirth based on commitment to the national community based on organic unity where individuals are bound together by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood.[4] Fascists believe that a nation requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[5] Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition to the state.[6]

Fascism is normally described as "extreme right",[35][36] although writers have found placing fascism on a conventional left-right political spectrum difficult.[37] There is a scholarly consensus that fascism was influenced by both left and right, conservative and anti-conservative, national and supranational, rational and anti-rational.[19] A number of historians have regarded fascism either as a revolutionary centrist doctrine, as a doctrine which mixes philosophies of the left and the right, or as both of those things.[20][21][22]

The events of the Great Depression resulted in an international surge of fascism and the creation of multiple fascist regimes and regimes that adopted fascist policies. The most important new fascist regime was Nazi Germany, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. With the rise of Hitler and the Nazis to power in 1933, liberal democracy was dissolved in Germany, and the Nazis mobilized the country for war, with expansionist territorial aims against multiple countries. In the 1930s the Nazis implemented racial laws that deliberately discriminated against, disenfranchised, and persecuted Jews, homosexuals and other racial and minority groups. Hungarian fascist Gyula Gömbös rose to power as Prime Minister of Hungary in 1932 and visited Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany to consolidate good relations with the two regimes. He attempted to entrench his Party of National Unity throughout the country; created an eight-hour work day, a forty-eight hour work week in industry, and sought to entrench a corporatist economy; and pursued irredentist claims on Hungary's neighbors.[111] The fascist Iron Guard movement in Romania soared in political support after 1933, gaining representation in the Romanian government, and an Iron Guard member assassinated Romanian prime minister Ion Duca.[112] A variety of para-fascist governments that borrowed elements from fascism were formed during the Great Depression, including those of Greece, Lithuania, Poland, and Yugoslavia.[113]

Creation of Tributary States - Saudi Arabia

Just as the British carved out pieces of the Ottoman empire to create the nation of Iran for the purpose of protecting what later became British Petroleum (BP), The US supported the conquest and expansion of territories of the Ottoman empire that became Saudi Arabia after a Standard Oil expedition in 1933 identified vast amounts of petroleum in the area.

"King Aziz granted a concession to Standard Oil, which allowed them to explore for oil in the country's Eastern Province. The joint enterprise eventually became known as the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco). The company granted a loan of £50,000 to the Saudi government and paid it other assorted rental fees and royalty payments. In exchange, Aramco received exclusive rights to mine, produce and export oil from the eastern part of the country, free of Saudi taxes and duties. In 1938, efforts were rewarded with the first discovery of commercial quantities of oil at Dammam Well Number 7, located near Dhahran.

The agreement was modified several times over the years. In 1950, Saudi Arabia and Aramco agreed to a 50-50 profit-sharing arrangement, and a series of agreements between 1973 and 1980 resulted in the Saudis' regaining full control of the company. In 1988, King Fahd issued a royal decree establishing the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, known as Saudi Aramco, to replace Aramco.

Temperature

Pay attention to the climate you live in and your mood as the temperature changes, seasons, etc

Also not the general temperature of the personalities of people you know well. What gets them hot and angry, what gets them hot and wet (more explanation in the chapter about sex)

Egypt’s Uprising Has Link to Marijuana Prohibition

It's about time!
Judge Andrew Napolitano: "Ignoring the Constitution" 17 Constitutional powers!


It's about time We the People all over the world rise up and let all Governments know:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, DERIVING THEIR JUST POWERS FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED —

That WHENEVER ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT BECOMES DESTRUCTIVE OF THESE ENDS, it is the RIGHT of the PEOPLE to ALTER OR ABOLISH IT, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. BUT 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 Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

THE LAWS PROHIBITING MARIJUANA ARE NOT A RESULT OF ANY HARM FROM MARIJUANA. THEY ARE THE RESULT OF LIES, GREED and racism. Read the well documented proof of that and a lot more marijuana TRUTH in these two articles: “MARIJUANA AND HEMP THE UNTOLD STORY, Thomas J. Bouril” and “WHY IS MARIJUANA ILLEGAL, Pete Guither”, click the links to those articles on this webpage:
Internet Explorer web browser: http://jsknow.angelfire.com/home

No matter which side of this issue you’re on PLEASE read the two articles linked above. It’s almost certain you’ll learn things about marijuana and marijuana prohibition that you never knew before.

LEGALIZE MARIJUANA AND REGULATE IT LIKE POTATOES, CORN OR ANY OTHER SAFE NATURAL PLANT/CROP!... No new TAXES!... NO NEW TAXES! Stop TAXING and trying to regulate everything we do!

STOP WASTING OUR MONEY! We are paying over 50% of everything we earn in some kind of tax and you waste all that and borrow TRILLIONS more from our enemies! Vote the crooks out of office! Stop letting the media tell you who to vote for!

Ron Paul can't be bought and his voting record proves it! He stands for We The People and the Constitution! Watch him on youtube.com and listen to his words from his own mouth! The mainstream media attacking him is a great reason to vote for him! The mainstream media is owned by the same crooked corporations that own most of the crooked politicians!

Legalize marijuana and stop funding criminals, gangsters, illegal aliens and terrorists with hundreds of Billions in tax free $ every year. “When you fund something you get more of it” (Ron Paul). Does anyone really think we need more criminals, gangsters, illegal aliens and terrorists?

chapter x - imf world bank and economic hitmen

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an intergovernmental organization that oversees the global financial system by following the macroeconomic policies of its member countries, in particular those with an impact on exchange rate and the balance of payments. Its objectives are to stabilize international exchange rates and facilitate development through the encouragement of liberalising economic policies[1] in other countries as a condition of loans, debt relief, and aid.[2] It also offers loans with varying levels of conditionality, mainly to poorer countries. Its headquarters is in Washington, D.C. The IMF’s relatively high influence in world affairs and development has drawn heavy criticism from some sources.[3][4]

The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans[2] to developing countries for capital programmes. The World Bank's official goal is the reduction of poverty. By law, all of its decisions must be guided by a commitment to promote foreign investment, international trade and facilitate capital investment.[3]

Chapter x - The Fall of the USSR and Western Communism



At the end of WW1, Russia had lost 34% of its population, 32% of its arable land, 54% of their industrial capacity, and 86% of their petroleum production capacity, all from the lost vassals, tributaries, and puppet states such as Azerbaijan, xx, xx, xx.  This was the first loss of territory for the Russian empire in over 400 years.  Imagine the difficulty of accepting this new reality.  Denial and anger must have lasted for a decade.  such death, destruction, and anger.  

Under Lenin, the Soviet Union became the first country to adopt an administrated planned economy, whereby all production and distribution of goods were directed by a centralized government. The Bolsheviks (or majority) pursue nationalization of industry, centralized distribution, while eliminating the circulation of money, as well as private enterprises and free trade. As it had aggravated a severe economic collapse caused by the war, in 1921, Lenin replaced War Communism with the New Economic Policy (NEP), legalizing free trade and private ownership of smaller businesses. The economy recovered fairly quickly.

In 1941 Lenin announces an new economic policy to restore the nation’s pride and well being.  Yet poor harvests leave more than 30 million people near starvation.  Through a series of  summits and conferences with the US and Britain, they moved forward with what became a century of colonial conquest of oil wealthy middle east.  Beginning with Iran, the US,  Russia, and Britain, force out the nationalist Reza Shah, who had become cozy with nazi Germany, and replace him with his son Mohammad Reza Shah, who becomes a puppet, allowing the three foreign powers to extract petroleum to support their military expansion, ostensibly done to counter the Germans.

Was Google #fracking for #geothermal #energy? #2012 #cleanenergy #renewable

Hmmm. Seems like halliburton, big Oil and Gas and Google have something in common

Clipped from gigaom.com

altarocklogoA project that was supposed to show the potential of turning the heat from hot rocks deep in the earth into a clean power source, from a startup backed by Google.org, Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures and the Department of Energy, has hit a snag — literally. Geothermal startup AltaRock Energy said yesterday that it has “encountered a number of physical difficulties,” while drilling at a site in Northern California, or as the New York Times put it, the drilling snagged on surface rock formation. As a result, the $17 million drilling project, which started in June, is being suspended indefinitely, the company says.

Fracking: Natural Gas Energy Boon or Public Poison?

COMMENTARY | Fracturing shale rock to release the natural gas inside, called "fracking," is either a great method for extracting new energy from existing resources or an ecological disaster that endangers our drinking water. Or both.

The problem is that there are no clear studies indicating actual harm caused by the process. BusinessWeek points to a New York Times discovery that EPA documents reveal radioactive wastewater being discharged into river basins. Yet the government specifically exempted fracking from the Safe Water Drinking Act as part of the 2005 Energy bill. The Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission assured residents that the methane present in their tap water came from naturally occurring processes rather than as a byproduct of fracking, though it's unclear how that was expected to reassure them about flaming tap water.

The only things we know for sure are that fracking uses toxic chemicals, the government is not studying—or at least not releasing information about—the potential dangers, and people are drinking flammable water.

Right Wing #peakoil Deniers Still Exist? Have Fun During #Collapse

Clipped from spectator.org

From confused
"peak oil"
theorists to
confused Congressmen
, it's all but
impossible to hear a discussion of US energy policy without hearing
the left's tired refrain: "The United States currently uses 25% of
the world oil production but has only 2% of world reserves." The
left uses this misinformation to argue against domestic oil
drilling, claiming that with only two percent of the world's
reserves, we can't possibly have enough oil in the ground to
matter.
