    Nazism Revived (or the new Gilded Age)

    In the 21st century, many things from the past are repeating itself. Some of the exact wickeddoctrines of Nazism are revived in our day and age. Our economic crisis is a precise repeat ofwhat occurred in the Gilded Age as well. This article will be about exposing the new Gilded Age in

    the 21st century. To go further, you have to comprehend what the Gilded Age was all about. TheGilded Age was a period of American history that lasted from the late 1800's to the early 1900's.This time marked the era when the Oligarchs controlled most of the economic power in the worldnot only in America. Barons like the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers, and others promotedmonopolies, lived in luxury, and exploited the poor. There were migrant families living in tents

    and slums in a high level back then. Greed dominated the Gilded Age. In that era, there were stillreal people fighting for the interests of the poor and the destitute. Even, Dr. Martin Luther Kingexposed the greed in the world by saying that: "...Capitalists of the West [are] investing huge

    sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concernfor the social betterment of the countries." The Progressives fought against the Oligarchs during

    the Gilded Age. Some of their leaders were Upton Sinclair, Jane Addams, Charles Beard,and Eleanor Roosevelt. I agree with the Progressives on some issues (like promoting public

    safety, unions, etc.) and disagree with them on other issues of course. They influenced thecreation of the New Deal plus Social Security. In that age, there was unequally distributedincome existing like today. Policies did little to make economic balance. Even

    with FDR's flaws, the New Deal caused the Great Compression. The GreatCompression was the growth of the middle class that decreased the total wealth thatthe richest 10 percent of the American population own. From the 1940's to the late

    1970's, there weren't extremes of poverty, there was a strong minimum wage, aprogressive tax system helped to limit inequality, etc. Democrats and Republicans hadmore views in common and people reached across party lines more readily to solve problems.

    Then in the late 1970's, the fascists made the comeback to earn more record wealth at theexpense of the poor. This period lasted form ca. 1979 to the present or the great divergence.Between 1979 and 2005 the real income of the median household rose only 13 percent, but theincome of the richest 0.1% of Americans rose 296 percent. This has been contributed byglobalization. Today, we live in a new world of counterrevolutionary threats. Neo-conservativeextremism (as promoted by George W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, etc.) lusted after the philosophies

    from the Gilded Age. The Gilded Age from 1870 to 1932 promoted the deregulation of laborpractices and slave labor plus the murder of strikers. Our new Gilded Age from ca. 1979 to thepresent promoted the deregulation of labor practices, outsourcing, unemployment, andexecutives stealing retirement funds.

    Both eras have the deregulation of food inspection leading to food contamination (into beef,poultry, vegetables, and other foods). The robber barons used deregulation of financial

    activities that contributed to the 1929 Market Crash plus the Great Depression. In the21st century, the deregulation of financial activities lead to Wall Street scams, economicdepression, FED bailout of major banks, prime mortgage crimes, worker destitution, andS&P 500 CEO median salary of $8.4 million. In our time, the elite flaunt their crimesagainst people like election fraud, mortgage scams, war profiteering, taxpayer money to big

    banks, and destroying our civil liberties. The people do little or nothing about it. A very fewobscenely rich people owning companies and corporations and having illegally seized stateand federal political power--is one reality which we can and must change.

    Rand Paul is promoting the same policy of Austrian economics. This form of economics isextreme. Rand Paul and his ilk are trying to force Barack Obama to cut much of the social safetyand get rid of federal spending across the world. This policy will cause people to die literally.Rand Paul loves the CATO Institute's "Downsizing the Federal Government" by neo-con ChrisEdwards and the evil book "The Road to Serfdom" by Frederick von Hayek. Chris Edwards isrecommended by Rand Paul in that Paul wants to cut some programs. He wants to cut theArmy Corps of Engineers and NASA (or our scientific edge). Edwards wants the land to existwhere Oligarchs dominates our land. Edwards wants to crush Medicare (to have vouchers),Medicaid, and Social Security (and privatization of Social Security, which is evil). Edwardswants to cut the Department of Education and he desired a privatized the post office. Thisis a fruit of radical free trade Austrian economics. This is anti-American since even theConstitution calls for a federal post office. Hayek wants to target American political structures andseek to crush nationalism. Hayek attacked Henry Carey and even Abraham Lincoln. Austrianeconomists desire a feudalist system of government. von Hayek attacked scientific achievementsand denied that individuals are capable of scientific development. The truth is that man has theright to use the human mind to harness technology and use science to grow the essence ofsociety. Rand Paul wants to cut vital entitlements. These guys like Paul support an agenda thatwant to crush the social safety net (Schumpeter and his predecessors, Nietzsche supportedsimilar acts). Former Republican Senator Alan Simpson and ex-White House Chief of StaffErskine Bowles, the co-chairs of the President's debt commission (calls for cuts and only tax

    increases on gasoline). Indeed, after the Simpson-Bowles show today, several of their owncommission members, including Congresswoman Jan Shakowsky (D-Ill.), came out saying thatthe scheme they presented was totally unacceptable. The AFL-CIO also immediately denouncedit. Tax cuts for the rich alone don't radically increase the economy at all. Keeping tax cuts for therich will increase the deficit by $700 billion.

    Fascism didn't die with WWII. It still exists now in 2010. Now, in the 1922 meeting of the Klan, itgrew about 30,000 members from Chicago and northern Illinois. Even President WoodrowWilson was a passionate supporter of the Klan and New York banker Otto Kahn was anadmirer Mussolini. Some Americans have stayed true to the essence of freedom andresistance to evil. Yet, other Americans have been Nazis and Nazi sympathizers for years.There has been the fascist policy of budget cutting that is common in America. Theeugenics movement in America and the UK inspired the fascist movements in Germany withHitler and Italy with Mussolini. This philosophy existed from social Darwinism too (that have thepolicies of race science, cost cutting, slave labor, and chauvinism). This is a part of pessimisminstead of hope in the human race. Today, some of these teachings are common among peoplelike Newt Gingrich and other reactionaries. The Labor movement and other people preventedfascism from having a stronghold in America. Eugenics and fascism were common in America inthe 1920's and the 30's. These movements were supported by Presidents, bankers, the press,institutions, think tanks, etc. The Harriman family, Woodrow Wilson, President Teddy Roosevelt,Harvard, Yale, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, the University of California,Stanford, etc. supported eugenics. You can look that up. Even John Dewey believed in sometenets of eugenics. Eugenics caused bigoted anti-immigrant laws to exist like the Johnson Act of1924. Groups like the American Protective League, the Klan, and the American Legion (all fascistgroups) wanted anti-immigrant and anti-poor programs too. The American Legion back in its 1923Convention endorsed Mussolini. With President Calvin Coolidge in the audience, Legion

    Commander-in-Chief Alvin Owsley praised Il Duce and added: "The American Legion is fightingevery element that threatens our democratic government--Soviets, anarchists, IWW, revolutionarysocialists, and every other red.... Do not forget that the Fascisti are to Italy what the AmericanLegion is to the U.S." Wilson supported the racist film "Birth of a Nation" and did nothing to stopthe terrorism of the Klan in America. The Klan had more than 4.5 million people during the 1920'sin Indiana, Ohio, Oregon, and California (not just in the South). Some fascists in the Southwanted to promote the Confederacy that hated technological progress and wanted to degradehuman labor. These Agrarians again supported Mussolini. Mussolini was praised by the NewYork Times when it was controlled by the Meyer Family. Mussolini was supported by the U.S.bankers (like his own banker, Bank of America head A.P. Giannini). Thomas Lamont, of MorganBank, served as the international chief of Mussolini's finances, and was lavish in his praise for thefact that Mussolini had balanced the budget, and laid low communism. He sent his aide, John J.McCloy, to work with Mussolini for a year's "training." Mussolini destroyed unions too. Freemason

    Hjalmar Schact financed Hitler and had an "anti-inflation" policy that cut down living standards(which is commonly promoted today by the GOP). Anti-legal immigration is a view that hasbeen supported by eugenicists and enemies of God for decades . It's now commonknowledge that Prescott Bush, the Thyssen family, and others either financed Hitler or financiallybenefited from Adolf Hitler. Today, we have creeping fascism in America. For the past 30 plusyears, we have our living standards decreasing (which started probably as early as the late1960's with stagflation).

    There are plenty of economic notes on the Nazis. Some of this information is what I known for

    the first time in my life. It's a known fact that the Nazis restored the Gold standard back in1934 (with help from the Reichs Minister of Finance Freemason Hajamar Schacht). They'vederegulated much of the public and privatized institutions. The highly regulated media andschool system was done to show propaganda to the masses in Germany. The Nazis hatedthe Social Democratic Party, because they supported labor unions and workers' rights. SDPresponded to labor massacres with street brawls with the Nazis. The Nazis hated anydissident cliques that are opposed to their agenda not just the Communists. They or theNazis hated welfare as well, except if it's for the wealthy class. The Nazis catered to theinterests of the aristocrats and industrialists and financiers who had supported them. The

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    4/29

    Nazis also got rid of the sick, disabled and falsely classified lazy people. This is why theNazis murdered those who were the sick and ill. This included euthanasia and abortion fornon-Aryan human beings. The Nazis were anti-Civil Rights, anti-Equality and anti-Publicaccommodations for ethnic groups or the handicapped. The survival of the fittestmentality, the hate mongering rhetoric the anti-social justice, the anti-intellectual andanti-education agenda are all apart of the Nazi mentality. I don't need the HeritageFoundation and FOX News to learn real history. Unregulated or Deregulated or poorly regulatedCapitalism is nothing more than economic Social Darwinism against the Sick & other people.Italy had a Gold Standard before Mussolini & Mussolini kept the Gold Standard throughout hisregime. Mussolini had same anarcho-Capitalist domestic economy like the Nazis had. Like theNazis, he privatized nearly all public & government institutions. He cut & then eliminatedalltaxes on the wealthy. He deregulated Italian market & cut all taxes on big business. Fiat,Ferarri, Lamborghini & all Italian businesses were left alone by Mussolini. Like the Nazis, BenitoMussolini crushed Labor Unions & cut wages by 50% on workers already paid meager wages.

    There was the great German hyperinflation of 1922 to 1923. This proved that hyperinflationcan cause a great depression. It was caused by the private Reichsbank that Hjalmar Schacht

    admitted was independent from the government back in the 1920's. This gave total privatecontrol over the German currency causing the worst inflation in modern times. This inflationwas already started by the immense, unrealistic reparations that the German people wereforced to pay to the Allies after World War One. Schacht is telling us that the excessivespeculation against the mark -- the short selling of the mark -- was financed by lavish loansfrom the private Reichsbank. The margin requirements that the anti-mark speculators neededand without which they could not have attacked the mark was provided by the privateReichsbank! So, a privately owned and privately controlled bank (according to StephenZarlenga's "The Lost Science of Money" on pgs. 579-587) made loans to private speculators. Thiscaused them to speculate against the nation's currency. According to Stephen Zarlenga,"Whatever other pressures the currency faced (and they were substantial), suchspeculation helped create a one way market down for the Reichsmark. Soon a continuouspanic set in, and not just speculators, but everyone else had to do what they could to get

    out of their marks, further fueling the disaster..." Here are other Nazi links to Americans:

    -Richard N. Nixon sponsored SS officer Otto von Bolschwings relocation to theU.S. after the War.

    -Ronald Reagan raised funds and hosted the GE Theater in the early 20th century. Heused funds for a CIA operation that brought East European Nazi Quislings, orFreedom Fighters, as Reagan referred to them, to America after the war.

    -There are IBM, GE, GM, American Viscose, StandardOil, DuPont, Ford,Monsanto, and other companies with ties to the Nazis.

    Propaganda is common and some want modern man to be brainwashed as this source says:

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    5/29

    When [modern man] is completely infantile ... he does not need and does

    not have an understanding of the outer world. It exists for him merely as

    gratification or denial."

    -Walter Lippmann (1889-1973)

    There is a new political situation in America. There is divided government. In the future, morepolitical parties should exist instead of just 2 major ones with all of the political power in America.Some believe that gridlock will occur in America. Voters voted many Democrats out of office,because of some of their corrupt policies not because they wanted reactionary Republicans totake over Congress. For the first time since World War II, the House of Representatives havechanged hands without being accompanied by the Senate. Some voters opposed cap andtrade since it distracted from real environmental solutions like building green jobs, havinga handle on rainforest problems, and developing alternative sources of energy. SomeRepublicans are being funded by the Koch Brothers, the US Chamber of Commerce, theRepublican Governors' Association, and other corporate interests. This is why super richreactionaries lost like Whitman, Fiorina, MacMahon, Raese, and others. They may be right on

    some issues, but they also embrace very pro-Wall Street policies. Today, in 2010, we have thereplay of the fascists like in 1932. The Republicans are really silly to think that xenophobia andarchaic economic views would get them more votes in the long term future. George Schultz andRupert Murdoch are 2 leaders of the Right Paradigm. Schultz was the king maker that promotedArnold Schwarzenegger and the neo cons in the White House during the Bush Jr. years (likeCondoleezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, etc.). The mainstream Tea Party have takenSchultz' bait, but some of them are being more extreme. Some don't even want unemploymentbenefits given to those suffering in the USA for the sake of debt talk. There is no freeze onforeclosures that even President Barack Obama doesnt want. The Tea party crowd (likeWall Street ideologue Rick Santelli of CNBC) don't want people to know that internationalcorporations are intentionally hoarding trillions of dollars of cash since they want to (andthey rather have more tax cuts and giveaways than radically improving the economy in apopulist fashion).This crowd wants tax cuts for the rich, cut federal spending (even on legitimate

    programs), loot Social Security plus Medicare, end nearly all federal regulations (even on minesafety, offshore drilling, etc.), etc. This is while America is suffering. Tax cuts for the rich don'twork when corporations are having record low taxation already. In particular, the Republicansalways argue that if their wealthy clients and rent seekers receive more money, they willimmediately go out and invest in plant and equipment and create jobs. This is a total mythologicalfallacy. Wealthy investors simply do not invest in plants, various forms of equipment, and jobs inthe United States any more. The reason is that the profit rates are far too low. They send theircash overseas as hot money to speculate in the most lucrative emerging-market casino of themoment. The Constitution in Article 1, Section 8 says that Congress can borrow money on thecredit of the USA. So, Congress not the free market should regulate our currency. One of thetime-tested tactics left over from the FDR-haters of 75 years ago is the argument that any federalpowers which are not included on the list of Congressional purviews in Article 1, Section 8 of theConstitution are unconstitutional and inadmissible. Yet, the Constitution says that Congress canprovide for the general welfare of the people in the United States. The Constitution also mentionsthat Congress can pass laws that can execute powers by the government. So, Congress cancreate new laws to help people via contingencies and this isn't unconstitutional at all.Fascism is here in America. There was the American Legion having Benito Mussolini speaking inits 1923 Convention. Mussolini was on the cover of the Fortune Magazine in the 1930's.

    As we can see, there is a war against Social Security by the corporate establishment. I feel like

    I'm living in the Bush/Cheney era Part 3. As long as I live, I will take action to oppose the wickedsystem in the world. I don't care what the world thinks about me since I still have love for thereal people in the world. This agenda of cutting Social Security and Medicare has been

    promoted by the Peterson Foundation, the corporate media, Wall Street, and somefolks of both parties for decades. Even Medicaid is under attack now. Ironically, theseproposals are occurring under a Democratic President. The draft edition of theCommission on Fiscal Responsibility is clear about what it wants. They want to cut Social Securitybenefits and rise the retirement age (that can grow the unemployment rate), and lower taxes for

    the wealthy plus big corporations. Other provisions desire instituting co-payments for all veteransmedical services, etc. This agenda relates to austerity and stabilizes the national deficit. Probablya compromise will occur, but these measures will harm the working people and the poor in

    America. Many people are silent since numerous organizations don't know that thesedraconian proposals even exist. Also, the corporate media have been great in promoting the liesto the people that Social Security is insolvent and that entitlements are the problems instead ofcorporate crimes against human beings (spanning thousands of years) plus other evils.Transnational vulture capitalists want to cut Medicaid, etc. since it will financially benefit their

    power. Gentrification, imperial wars, and other issues should be addressed in ourcommunity. There is a war of the super rich against the rest of us. One out ofevery 4 Americans are homeless now. We have health problems too in the USA:

    "No other rich nation experiences such high levels of people without access to health care

    and the resultant suffering and death ... a study in the American Journal of Public Healthshows that in the United States nearly 45,000 deaths annually can be linked to lack of

    health insurance. That's over 120 preventable deaths every day."

    --The Capital Times, 11/22/10

    "Denmark and Finland have child-poverty levels of less than 3 percent, and are closelyfollowed by Norway and Sweden, thanks to higher levels of social spending."

    --The Seattle Times, January 4, 2006

    People want to see why poverty continues in America. This poverty cancer is causing states,cities, and rural areas to go broke and bankrupt. Camden, New Jersey is suffering as the Nationmagazine reports in its November 22nd issue. Americans mostly aren't lazy. It's just that thesystem is corrupt and it doesn't work anymore. There has been betrayal. People have beenbetrayed by employers and the federal government has betrayed many people (including thecostly criminal wars). Neofeudalism is a threat where cutting social services still don't work tosolve problems. States are being more bankrupt and there is a permanent underclass ofunemployed human beings. In an article titled City of Ruins, Hedges reports that 70 percent ofCamden's high school students drop out, that the city's unemployment rate is probably 30 to 40

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    percent, and that its dangerous streets are filled with the unemployed." Prostitution, crime (withgangs like the Bloods, the Latin Kings, Lose Nietos, and MS-13), the drug trade (some come intothe place to get drugs from the suburbs), etc. thrive in poverty stricken areas like Camden. Thiscauses the crime rate to increase as well. Camden has in 2009 had the highest crime rate in thenation with 2,333 violent crimes per 1,000 people vs. a national average of just 455, Wikipediareported. About 52 percent of its residents live in poverty. There are places nationwide with morethan 30% of its citizens in poverty like Bloomington, Indiana, Flint, Michigan, Kalamazoo,Michigan, Gary, Indiana, Muncie Indiana, Edinburg, Texas, and other places. Large cities have ahigh poverty rate like Detroit, Buffalo, Newark, Miami, St. Louis, etc. Structural unemployment isone reason for the high poverty rates. It's not a secret that black people and Hispanics sufferdisproportionately in poverty. Manufacturing and construction are hit badly in this recession. Forinstance, the unemployment rate for blacks is expected to reach 27 percent in Michigan, whichhas been shedding auto industry jobs. Other states with jobless rates above 20 percent for blacksare Alabama, Illinois, Ohio and South Carolina. The prison industrial complex is still a remnant ofJim Crow that oppresses the poor of many backgrounds. The Juvenile Justice-JuvenileDelinquency Prevention Act of 1974 needs to be re-authorized.

    "That's when it was revealed to me that, ya'll, it's about poor versus those

    who have. . ."Well, working with him made me see that it's really about

    those who have versus those who don't, you know. And they could be black;

    they could be white; they could be Hispanic. And it made me realize thenthat I needed to work to help poor people -- those who don't have access

    the way others have."

    Some people want a New Deal like Work Project Administration since it caused 8 million new jobsto be formed. This doesn't occur today, because many Republicans won't allow it to occur. Eventhe Black Caucus wants the government to create training programs and jobs in low incomecommunities with the highest unemployment rates. That's commonsense since you target theextreme poor first to spur economic growth. "It's like triage in an emergency room -- you take careof people who need the most help first and you help the others later," said Kai Filion, researchanalyst at the Economic Policy Institute. It should be remembered that the majority of America'sunemployed are Caucasians and that the real unemployment figure according to some authoritiesis 20 percent, not the 10 percent reported by Washington. Large cities have high crime ratessince of the poverty rate. Thomas More even mentioned this cycle in the terms of people beingcorrupted from youth having a higher risk of committing crimes. Some cities refuse to give peoplepensions and others come into the military because of desperation of income. Reducedemployment causes less purchasing power, and a less tax take for local government. Californiahas a $20 billion budget gap according to the Christian Science Monitor. It has already resortedto mandatory furloughs for all state workers, teacher layoffs, (and reduced) aid to the universitysystem 20 percent, (and made) massive cuts to education, corrections, and social services. Thisgrim picture is mirrored everywhere. The rising unemployment in New York City's workforce, forexample, has worsened its budget crisis, Financial Times reported Nov. 22nd. Corporations fromthe U.S. still are getting cheap labor in race to the bottom tactics. CNN reported hundreds of U.S.corporations either sending American jobs overseas o using cheap labor instead of American

    workers. These companies are Owens Corning, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Pratt and Whitney, Procter andGamble, etc. There is no Domestic Marshall plan here to help the community (that even theUrban League's Whitney Young called for in 1962). Even the Papist Sir Thomas More was rightto mention that: To start with, most kings are more interested in the science of war...than inuseful peacetime techniques. They're far more anxious, by hook or by crook, to acquire newkingdoms than to govern their existing ones properly. Kings want to use war instead of socialbetterment of people. Put another way, the Pentagon is spending more money for war (52 centsof every tax dollar) than all 50 states combined spend for all purposes to improve the lot of 300million Americans. In their book, The Three Trillion Dollar War (W.W. Norton), Joseph Stiglitzand Linda Bilmes write, A $3 trillion figure for the total cost strikes us as judicious, and probablyerrs on the low side. Needless to say, this number represents the cost only to the United States. Itdoes not reflect the enormous cost to the rest of the world, or to Iraq. (Stiglitz is former chiefeconomist at the World Bank and a Nobel Prize laureate and Bilmes is a public policy authority at

    Harvard). This reality continues in the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. When you bombplaces, a home collapses in America with neglect. It's easy to see that the military industrialcomplex is causing poverty in bad terms in America for stripping resources from thepeople and into corporations. Some private families support the IMF and the World Bankthat artificially implode the debt and restrict the credit. This causes bankruptcy, while abailout comes along (in order for the IMF and the World Bank to control the bankingsystem of various nations. Some of these countries have their police to be militarized).The same players from Europe and America funded the fascists and the communists viathe big banks. Even Wall Street and the Bank of England bankers financed thecommunists in 1917 beyond the Democratic Kerensky government of Russia. This hasbeen admitted by the author Carroll Quigley or the top Georgetown Professor and BillClintons mentor. This has been explained in his 900 plus page book.

    Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler were famous fascists that allied in World War II. Both were bornin the Papacy and promoted their wicked Crusade against religious liberty, intellectualism,

    individual freedom, and other basic human freedoms.

    This is Great Britains Neville Chamberlain chatting with Benito Mussolini. The

    Great Britains political figures tried to use appeasement to try to pacify the fascists.

    This didnt work as the Axis Powers continued their aggression and caused WWII by1939.

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    The Nazis had a national police force called the Homeland and used the fasces symbol on their

    government logos. Hitler was brought to power by Knight of Malta Franz vonPapen, later Hitlers Vice Chancellor, who, after the Crusade in 1946,was released at the show trial in Roman Catholic Nuremberg. The Vaticanhas a concordat with the Nazis back in 1933. The Nazis admitted that theyused the Jesuit infrastructure as a framework to build up their Nazi system.The Jesuits have done tons of evil then and now since the early 1500s . IBMproduced very specialized punch cards for the German IBM equipment that allowed them to shipall the Jews and the dissidents off to the concentration camps. General Motors, Ford, they wereproducing war materials for the Nazis. The Allied bombers werent allowed to bomb some ofthe GM and Ford plants turning off Panzers. According to Jim Marrs, a German worker atthe GM plant said that when they had a bombing raid, they would run to the GeneralMotors plant since they knew it would be safe. Even John J. McCloy sat with Hitler in his boxat the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He pardoned thousands of Nazis after the WWII and sent them intoAmerica. During WWII, the Soviets and the Nazis worked together and fought each other. Forexample, the Soviet Unions Joseph Stalin shook hands with the Nazi German Foreign MinisterJoachim von Ribbentrop. This occurred in Moscow in August 23, 1939. Far too often, the

    alternative can talk about the Skulls and Bones, etc. Yet, they refuse to expose the Pilgrim

    Society or the Vatican/Jesuit link to WWII and like-minded issues. Lenin back in 1922admitted the Jesuits in Russia. The Jesuits were expelled from Russia back in 1820,

    because the Jesuits infiltrated government and promoted authoritarian ideologies. 33rd

    Degree Freemason Henry Ford allowed the Gorky auto plant to exist in the USSA. He

    wrote the International Jew disinformation work that made no distinction between theaverage Jewish person having nothing to do with international evils and the pro-

    establishment (plus pro-Papal) very few minorities of Jewish people involved in intrigue.

    The International Jew was the book that contributed to the evil Holocaust that murderedmillions of Jewish people. The 300 Americans sent to Stalins Russia were sent to the

    Gulag work camps in Siberia to die. One person who survived was Victor Herman (who

    was a Jewish man). He wrote the books entitled, Coming Out of the Ice, and The Gray

    People. Herman told of the Jesuit-educated, American Reuther brothers having access inand out of the USSR, Victor Reuther leaving just before the Orders Great Terror begun

    in 1936. Even Masonic FDR and Skulls and Bonesman W. Averell Harriman supported

    the Lend Lease plan (this allowed about 11.3 billion dollars to be sent to Stalin that builthis war machine). Even SMOM John J. McCloy refused to bomb Auschwitz and his

    brother in law was the post war German Chancellor & Knight of Malta Konrad

    Adenauer. WWII didnt benefit Germany just WWI didnt. Thousands of Germans,Ukrainians, and others (many of whom were Orthodox or Lutherans) were killed byagents of Stalin. The Jesuit Edmund Walsh supported Stalin.

    This is Adolph Hitler with Finance Minister & Freemason Hjalmar Schacht in the far

    right.

    Hitler and the Nazis ended the Social Democratic Party or the SPD and even his own

    coalition partner the Nationalist Party. By July 14, other parties were liquidated by the Nazis

    and Germany experienced an one party state. This occurred after Hitler used an emergency

    decree in the wake of the Reichstag fire in order to form his nefarious dictatorship in

    Europe. The Reichstag Fire came about in February 27, 1933. A day later, Hitler created his

    Decree for the Protection of the People and the State. This measure suspended the seven

    sections of the Constitution which guaranteed civil rights. While the measure explicitly

    forbade stripping parliamentarians of their rights, that did not stop the Nazis from arresting

    Communist Party MPs, and some Social Democrats. The government also immediately

    began roundups of 4,000 Communist Party members. Hitler created the Enabling Act thatviolated human civil liberties as well. It had similarities to the evil Patriot Act of our time.

    Hitler rounded up many political dissidents without evidence and basically killed them in

    cold blood. The Nazis got rid of state governments by April 7 to be replaced by New Nazi

    governors that were appointed by the Reich. Hitler got rid of labor unions all throughout

    Germany. Even collective bargaining was banned giving most economic powers to the

    employer. The Nazis hated the disabled, the chronically ill, and they definitely hated

    welfare. The fascists hate Social Security and welfare then and now.

    *In 2011, Pete Peterson is an enemy that has waged his war on Social Security for years. He

    spend much of his money to try to end Social Security and Medicare as we know it. His

    agenda has been supported by his Fiscal Times, CNN, the Washington Post, etc. Peterson

    promotes the deficit hysteria in order to cry to cut social services. Hes a disgrace. Some

    deficit commissions have conflicts of interests since many members of them are biased to

    want to cut entitlement services. For example, the salaries of two senior staffers, MarcGoldwein and Ed Lorenzen (of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and

    Reform), are paid by private groups that have previously advocated cuts to entitlementprograms. Lorenzen ispaid by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, while Goldwein is paid

    by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which is also partly funded by the

    Peterson group. These people promote cuts instead of alternatives to help our financialsituation in America. But Barbara B. Kennelly, a former Democratic House member fromConnecticut who heads the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, saidthe commissions staffing structure is unprecedented and casts further doubt on its fairness.Taxpayers fund the commission and they should work independently of Washington lobbyistsand power brokers, Kennelly said. This is the type of shenanigans that average Americans are soupset about right now that money talks and everyone else is left out. The GOP promotes manylies about taxes as well.

    The above chart shows the share of the richest 10 percent of the American population in totalincome. This is one indicator of economic inequality over the past 90 years according to the

    estimations of economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Seaz. You will notice that economicinequality was low from WWII to the 1980s. The Long Gilded Age was so corrupt

    economically (with child labor, little to no food standards, labor exploitation, etc.), that theProgressive Era came about in 1900. The Great Compression caused economic inequality to

    go down. Middle class America was the time when there were no extremes of poverty andprosperity was shared more equally among income classes. More real bipartisanship came; there

    were strong union, minimum wage increases, a progressive tax system, and the civil rights

    movement helping people out. The great divergence was the counterrevolutionary backlashagainst the New Deal to put it in laymens terms. In that time, globalization grew and so forth.

    This era continues now with taxes on the rich have fallen, and the holes in the safety net havegotten bigger, even as inequality has soared. Bipartisanship in a real fashion is a memory

    unfortunately.

    Today, we have those who want a radical free market, anti-government Hayek Mont

    Pelerin Society type of agenda. These are the same clique that promoted the Pan

    European Union. The Nazis hated unions and organized labor. The reason is that organized

    labor demanded fair pay and a safe work place including worker benefits. These Austrian

    economist folks (who are those from CNBC, Glenn Beck, some in Newsweek, Rush

    Limbaugh, Bill OReilly, Arthur Laffer with his Laffe Curve and promoting trickled down

    economics, etc.) forget that you have to have social protections and social justice to allow

    society to be more humane and healthier. This isnt a part of socialism, but plain common

    sense. The Austrian School has been funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the William

    Volker Fund for decades. Austrian School of Economics frauds are that this school believes

    in the gold standard and they want to even cut life saving services for the sake of being a

    deficit hawk. Fractional reserve banking is a problem since the bankers can steal more

    interest on productivity if they are allowed by the government to lend many times over

    their reserves (or expanding and contracting money at will). Banks are lending and the

    people plus domestic businesses arent borrowing. Keith Gardner is promoting a progressive

    tax on property taxes to benefit citizens (where property taxes would increase for

    transnational corporations and property taxes for the average person are lowered with

    rebates to citizens. He wants a debt-free economic system as well). We have to have

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    14/29

    populism instead of using policies that only benefit big corporations and the

    moneychangers. We have lack of money supply in the domestic supply, so austerity will

    further harm America.

    Even FDR wasnt really FDR until protests can about all over the nation. People had protests,

    strikes, and civil disobedience, because of labor issues in America. This occurred in 1934 inthe early part of the Roosevelt Presidency. There were strikes in Minneapolis, San Francisco,

    and hundreds of thousands on strike in the textile mills of the South. Unemployed councils

    existed all over America. Desperate people defied police to put back the furniture of evicted

    tenants. There were self help organizations with hundreds of thousands of members.

    Without the national crisis in the US, the Roosevelt administration might have not created

    the bold reform that it did. Glass-Steagall and other regulations against fraud

    wouldn't have been passed unless the public had raised righteous indignation

    through protests and strikes.

    Ron and Rand Paul support a radical brand of Libertarianism that relates to the views of the

    John Birch Society and Ludwig von Mises. Ron and his son opposed parts of the Civil RightsAct of 1964 that banned private businesses to discriminate based on nationality or race. The

    JBS back then in the 1960s and others wanted to continue segregation or the Jim Crow

    system. The real government should be made of, by and for the people. Ron Paul refused to

    give back a donation from the white supremacist and founder of Stormfront Don Black. The

    reactionaries talk about states rights, but even the states can act tyrannical at times (that

    they did when they promoted lynchings, oppression, etc.). That is why the federal Bill of

    Rights and the Federal Constitution have government supremacy above states rights.

    Human rights trump states rights. The government should work to benefit the interests of

    all of the people not just the wealthy, the affluent or just entrepreneurs. Among every

    human child, there is that potential for great achievements in life.

    The Nazi presence in the Middle East during and after WWII is historical. Saddam Hussein was apart of a CIA funded 6 men assassination team in the late 1950s in trying to overthrow the then

    Iraqi leader Abdel Karim Qasim. Chuck Morse wrote his 2003 book called "The NaziConnection to Islamic Terrorism." Morse wrote that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj

    Amin al-Husseini was put in the Nazi payroll in 1938. al-Husseini's confidant or friend wasSaddam Hussein's uncle named General Kharaillah Tulfah. He would late be Saddam's guardianmentor and father in law. Hussein was trained in al-Husseini's brand of radical Islam mixed with

    Nazism (that is not related to real Islam at all). General Rashid Ali, Kharaillah Tulfah, andothers made a filed coup against the pro-British government in Iraq during 1941. This was a partof the Nazis desperate attempt to control the Middle East away from the then British Empire. al-Husseini didn't promote true Arabic culture, but Nazism. After, WWII, al-Husseini worked inProject Odessa (or an operation that allowed war criminals to escape justice and live into mostly

    Arabic and Latin American nations). The Mufti instigated a pogrom against Jewish people inPalestine in 1920 and some Jewish radical did do unjust violence against some Arabic people aswell. The Young Egypt (headed by Gamal Abdul Nasser. Nasser would try nationalism after thewar) and the Social Nationalist Party of Syria (headed by Anton Saada) were blatantly pro-Naziback then. Saddam Hussein was born in 1937. Saddam Husseins Baath Party was modeled after

    the Nazis as exposed by the History International satellite TV channel. In Arabic, baath meansrenaissance or resurrection. The Baath Party wanted nationalism, which I have noproblem with. Yet, they tried to ally with pro-Nazis like Rashid Ali. Some of their

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    15/29

    founders was Greek Orthodox Christian Michael Aflaq and Salah al-Din Bitar. In 1962,Saddam married Sajidah Tuffah, the daughter of his uncle and mentor. So, he marriedhis own cousin. That is sick of course. By 1979, Saddam Hussein was the absolute urlerof Iraq after assassinating over 20 leaders of his own party. Imitating the example ofHitler, Saddam set up concentration camps and began to carry out a planned programof genocide against the Kurds.

    One of the Nazis who fled to Cairo, Egypt was Goebbels aide Johannes von Leers, who wouldunder the name Omar Amin become an official in the Egyptian Information Ministry. The MuslimBrotherhood was created in Egypt in 1928. This group was the father of other radical Islamicgroups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda. The Muslim Brotherhood is known to have beeninfluenced by Freemasonry & British Intelligence as conclusively documented by the greatscholar Peter Goodgame. Likewise Osama bin Laden had ties to both the CIA and the MuslimBrotherhood (which is Masonic in its own orientation). Back in November 8, 2008, the Swisspolice raided the home of Swiss Nazi Ahmad Huber on the basis of evidence that he had been a

    financial agent of Osama bin Laden. The elite used the Sunni Muslim puppetleadership in the Middle East in order to strife real nationalism and performmore effectively the Crusade against Sunni and especially Shia Muslims in the

    21st century. It is also true that Labor Zionists colloborated with some Nazis as proven by BenHecht and other researches.

    On November 13, 2010 The New York Times published Nazis Were Given SafeHaven in the U.S., Report Says, which begins A secret history of the United Statesgovernments Nazi-hunting operation concludes that American intelligence officials

    created a safe haven in the United States for Nazis and their collaborators afterWWII.This article by Eric Lichtblau went on to say that Justice Department has tried to keepthis 2006 600-page report by its Office of Special Investigations (OSI) secret for 4 years. Evenbefore, it was known that Arthur Rudolph and Werner von Braun were Nazis sent to America

    under Operation Paperclip. Rudolph was the developer of NASA's Saturn V rocket and Wernervon Braun was of course the chief architect of NASA's Saturn V launch vehicle. The OSI reportcalled Striving for Accountability in the Aftermath of the Holocaust, does provide newinformation. For example, regarding the Nazi Butcher of Lyons Klaus Barbie, the report statesthat: A former American intelligence officer asserted that the U.S. had protected Barbie and paidhim $1700 a month for intelligence information after the war. There is also information thatBarbie worked for America from 1947 to 1949. The U.S. Army, used the services of a shadyintermediary to help Barbie escape to Bolivia in 1951 under the name Klaus Altmann. There wasthe associate of the Nazi Adolf Eichmann named Otto von Bolschwing. The report found that:"...in 1946, von Bolschwing was hired by the Gehlen Organization, a group of former Naziintelligence operatives who came under the aegis of the U.S. Army after the war. The CIA was

    sufficiently grateful to help him emigrate to the United States in 1954. And pertaining to NaziRobert Verbelen, the report showed he had worked for the CIC (U.S. Army Counterintelligence

    Corps, for which Henry Kissinger worked during WWII) from 1947-1956. The report then referred

    to an earlier (June 1988) OSI report that concluded that: Nearly all the former CICagents interviewed in the course of this investigation acknowledged thatmembership in the SS for participation in questionable war-time activities didnot disqualify a person from use as a CIC informant. Indeed, Verbelens first CICcontrol agent maintained that it was advantageous to use such persons. The Nazi Verbelencalled his Nazi identity in 1956 and he was dismissed without prejudice and considered suitablefor intelligence re-employment. There are people who believed that Martin Bormann didn't die in

    the 1940's, but in the 1960's or later. The Allies overtly won the war, but the Nazis wentunderground and had huge sway in the economics and policies of the world from the late 20 th toeven in the early 21st century. Sumner Welles' The Time for Decision from 1944 talked about theNazi plan for harm the world in the next 2 generations. We don't need a techno-feudal world

    government at all. The Nazis didn't totally die off, but in the end, no Naziswill ever exist anymore on Earth.

    Many Boers (not all of course since even the Boers have been oppressed by the British in theearly 20

    thcentury) sympathized and collaborated with the Nazi German military during World War

    II. The South African National Party imposed apartheid in South Africa in 1948. The Boers are thedescendants of the Dutch colonists that settled in South Africa in the 1600s. That is why theyspeak with a Dutch mixed with a British accent. One fascist in South Africa was named EugeneTerreblanche. Nelson Rockefeller is pictured with Nicaraguas dictator called General AnastasioSomoza. The dictator allowed Rockefeller to use Miskito Native Americans to be used a labor fortaking rubber out of Nicaraguas Atlantic coast. He is pictured having a dinner with the dictator.Nelson Rockefeller also met up with the famous Haitian dictator Francois Papa Doc Duvalier.Then Vice President Richard Nixon embraced the dictator of the Dominican Republic RafaelTrujillo in 1955.

    This is the Hegelian Dialetic in fashion. The Communist leader from Vietnam was shaking handswith the Capitalist ex-President George W. Bush. The Establishment won the Cold War and the

    oligarchys corporate grip has its tentacles in the world for eons. This is why these corporatepirates allowed a grandson of a war criminal (this war criminal was Prescott Bush that financiallybenefited from Hitler and the Nazis decades ago) to be President from 2001 to 2009. The good

    news is that righteousness in the end will triumph against evil.

    This is President Barack Obama shaking hands with the Chairman of JP Morgan Chase during ameeting of business leaders in a hotel in Washington, D.C. This occurred in March 12, 2009.Dimon is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission.

    Fascism didnt die in WWII. In America, we have it in the form of the violation of our domestic civilliberties, the assault on travelers bodies at bodies, and the foreign wars. Even the previous

    President George W. Bush stole the 2000 Presidential election to raid the Treasury on behalf ofWall Street. Ironically, with the Democrats, these fascist tactics continued forth.

    People have learned lessons from the Great Depression before. FDR made a public worksprograms to get people to work. It cost 4.8 billion dollars in the Works Progress Administration toget things moving. The WPA caused people to construct buildings, and other infrastructure.Some folks escaped poverty and starvation. The economy started to grow again. FDRused an executive order to give money to create jobs . The WPA was quickly implemented. ByMarch 1936, 3.4 million people were employed and an average of 2.3 million people worked

    monthly until the program ended in June 1943. During its existence the WPA employed morethan 8,500,000 different persons on 1,410,000 individual projects, and spent about $11 billion.The average yearly salary was $1,100, a living wage at the time. During its 8-year history, theWPA built 651,087 miles of highways, roads, and streets. It constructed, repaired, or improved124,031 bridges, 125,110 public buildings, 8,192 parks, and 853 airport landing fields. Now, ourinfrastructure in America is falling apart. About 15 million people are without a job, and a millionand a half of them are construction workers. There is a need for direct jobs programs (includingthe need to create jobs from the TARP money system). It can't add to the deficit since it wasalready appropriated money. Extremists believe that any government intervention to help citizensis socialism and that to spend any money will radically increase the deficit. Anti-union and anti-worker policies have stagnant our economy as well. Yet, some Republicans desire topromote tax cuts for the rich and hostility toward immigrants and Muslims. Even real greenjobs are better than having no jobs whatsoever in America. There have been the Bush tax cutsfor the rich and the multiple immoral wars that expanded the deficit. Steve King from Iowa saidthat many of black farmers claims are fraudulent (and used stereotypes against black people).Michele Bachmann said that the black farmers claims of discrimination are fake. King calledBarack Obama an urban man and compared legitimate compensation to black farmers asreparations. Bachmann said the same tripe in refusing to expose the criminal actions of BP

    against fishermen and fisherwomen in the Gulf Coast. This trash spoken by these

    Republicans is one reason why I will never be a Republican. Some Republicanswant to cut jobless benefits for about 2 million Americans in time of the Holidays.Some of them have no problem with the super rich accepting billions of dollars in

    payouts, subsidies, bailouts, and massive military spending, butthey falsely

    consider any monetary payment to the poor as a part of socialism. We tried thistax cuts for billionaires stuff [or trickled down economics. The truth is that taxesused in the right way have built up the economy and created jobs for thousandsof years] for 8 years and it didnt work. The average weekly unemploymentbenefit in the U.S. is only about $302.90. Although, the amount of benefits couldchange and this depends on each state. The failure to extend unemploymentbenefits to workers is a crime (with the unemployment rate at about 9.6

    percent). You know that there is record demand for soup kitchesn and foodpantries. Millions of people have to get food stamps. Tent cities are back in

    America. This is why back then the working class rose up against the economicoppression back in the period of the Great Depression. Some reforms came tohelp workers like the GI bill for education. Then, over the past over 3 decades,the cabal of internationalists has shown their card of having hatred of equality ofopportunity to promote reactionary policies in the West from imperialist wars toradical deregulation. Internationally, the elite promote slave wages.

    Many Republicans dont give a piece of concern for the poor. Theyll damn thepoor, which is a disgrace. Asked recently by a reporter to square his partys callfor tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans with the elimination of unemploymentbenefits for the poorestwhen the latter stimulates the economy far moreeffectively at far less costRep. John Shaddeg of Arizona responded mockingly,

    Unemployed people hire people? Really? I didn't know that. Arrogance byShaddeg in a condescending way is common for a Republican to promote their

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    19/29

    agenda. The establishment liberals have no excuses since they promoted theirman in office and they still have huge power in Congress. There are at least 40million poor people in America.Steve King is such a coward and isnt a real man to me.Most people from Iowa arent like Steve at all. These comments make me thank God that mostAmericans arent like them. There are decent people of every race that dont stereotype people inurban areas, rural areas, or any area. So, the farmers do deserve compensation and thats very

    justified.

    War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what itseems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted

    for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. I helped make Mexico, especiallyTampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place forthe National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen CentralAmerican republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped

    purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where haveI heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests

    in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested."

    Fascism is still here. Glen Beck once promoted an U.S. pro-Nazi text. He is a notorious puppet ontelevision and radio. He promotes anti-working class rhetoric. He is right on some issues like theFederal Reserve isn't a federal entity per se as an excuse to get the populist crowd on board withhis agenda. Yet, this man is not only a Mormon, but bashed Katrina victims and 9/11victims without apologies at all. I don't support any man that bashes those victims at all.The book that he once promoted was Elizabeth Dilling's 1934 book. He claimed that shewas anti-Communist. Many people back then who claimed to be anti-Communist werereally pro-fascist. Dilling's book believed tried to link high government officials in theRoosevelt administration with the U.S. Communist Party and the Soviet Union . It is full ofconfused logic, giant leaps and baseless presumptions. The reality is that Roosevelt made errors

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    20/29

    of course, but he wasn't some Communist. He tried to save capitalism. The New Deal, despitesome of its imperfections, prevented more people from literally starving to death and it gave moresocial services to benefit the common people. Dilling's book supported racism and supported thethen new regime of Adolph Hitler in Germany. So, Dilling was pro-Nazi. He supported the arrestsof Jewish people in violation of their human rights as calling them pro-Communism. Dillingportrayed the Black liberation movement as communists manipulating oppressed people toinflame them against whites. She's such a lying woman. She blamed Jewish people collectivelyfor religious strife and all of the world's problems. She supported the fascist sympathizers ofGermany called the America First Committee. The German American Bund was an U.S. Nazigroup that used the swastika as its official symbol and they've marched in full brown shirt regalia.She supported this group as well. Was Glenn Beck correct in stating that Elizabeth Dillingwas doing the same thing he is doing? Absolutely. Beck like her desires a more fascisteconomy to handle the recession. Fascists recruited alienated individuals by channelingtheir rage into attacks on oppressed people and the revolutionary movement. For example,while pretending to be revolutionary, the fascist Citizens Alliance and Black Legions attackedstriking autoworkers in Flint, Mich., who were demanding that the millionaire bosses recognizetheir right to unionize. Isn't Glen Beck agitating his listening by scapegoating immigrants,minorities, and a puppet President for our problems (instead of the real corporate system thatoriginated this mess in the first place)? The answer is yes. The Tea Party wants to call for libertyin their mind to end social programs when these programs are minor assistance to those that

    need it. They promote medical corporations dominating our health care. Dr. King said abouteconomics in these terms:

    "Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to

    overlook the circumstances of economic injustice, which makes philanthropy

    necessary."

    -Martin Luther King Jr.

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. expressed these great words in exposing povertyin the world too: First, we are challenged to develop a world perspective. Noindividual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and anyone who feels that he canlive alone is sleeping through a revolution. The world in which we live isgeographically one. The challenge that we face today is to make it one in terms ofbrotherhood. . . . Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made ofthis world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to makeof it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this. Wemust all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools. . .

    We are challenged to rid our nation and the world of poverty. Like a monstrous

    octopus, poverty spreads its nagging, prehensile tentacles into hamlets andvillages all over our world. Two-thirds of the people of the world go to bedhungry tonight. They are ill-housed; they are illnourished; they are shabbilyclad. Ive seen it in Latin America; Ive seen it in Africa; Ive seen this povertyin Asia. . .How can one avoid being depressed when he sees with his own eyesevidences of millions of people going to bed hungry at night? How can one avoidbeing depressed when he sees with his own eyes Gods children sleeping on thesidewalks at night? In Bombay more than a million people sleep on the

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    21/29

    sidewalks every night. In Calcutta more than six hundred thousand sleep onthe sidewalks every night. They have no beds to sleep in; they have no housesto go in. How can one avoid being depressed when he discovers that out ofIndias population of more than five hundred million people, some fourhundred and eighty million make an annual income of less than ninety dollarsa year. And most of them have never seen a doctor or a dentistAs I noticed thesethings, something within me cried out, "Can we in America stand idly by and not beconcerned?" And an answer came: "Oh no!" Because the destiny of the UnitedStates is tied up with the destiny of India and every other nation. . .Not only do weseepoverty abroad, I would remind you that in our own nation there are aboutfortymillion people who are poverty-stricken. . .this is Americas opportunity tohelp bridgethe gulf between the haves and the have-nots. The question iswhether America willdo it. There is nothing new about poverty. What is new is that we now have thetechniques and the resources to get rid of poverty. Thereal question is whether wehave the will. In a few weeks some of us arecoming to Washington to see if the willis still alive or if it is alive in this nation.We are coming to Washington in a PoorPeoples Campaign. . . We are comingto demand that the government address itself

    to the problem of poverty. . . yes,it will be a Poor Peoples Campaign. This is thequestion facing America.Ultimately a great nation is a compassionate nation.

    America has not met its obligations and its responsibilities to the poor. One day wewill have to stand before the God of history and we will talk in terms of things wevedone. Yes, we will be able to say we built gargantuan bridges to span the seas, webuilt gigantic buildings to kiss the skies. Yes, we made our submarines to penetrateoceanic depths. We brought into being many other things with our scientific andtechnological power. It seems that I can hear the God of history saying, "Thatwas not enough! But I was hungry, and ye fed me not. I was naked, and yeclothed me not. I was devoid of a decent sanitary house to live in, and yeprovided no shelter for me. And consequently, you cannot enter the kingdomof greatness. If ye do it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye do it unto me."Thats the question facing America today."

    -This is from Dr. Martin Luther Kings sermon entitled Remaining AwakeThrough a Great Revolution. Dr. King delivered it at the National Cathedral,Washington, D.C., on March 31, 1968.

    Alan Simpsons debt commission recommendations are a disgrace of course. Theywant to abolish taxes for multinational corporations that do business in America.That alone is extreme. This commissions results are one of the most reactionarypieces of propaganda in American history. They even want to reduce the tax rate

    from 39 to below 30% among the super wealthy. Alan Simpson is a disgrace for hisrhetoric. Its a pipe dream since it was targeting Social Security, Medicaid, andMedicare with massive cuts. Extremists like Rush Limbaugh said that poor peopledont have the right to vote. They want to cut tax breaks for homeowners andparents of dependent children. They also desire tax increases on middle incomecitizens. Now, federal wages could be frozen.

    was a co-author and signer of the firstHumanist Manifesto (1933), and Deweys mentor,G. Stanley Hall, was the first of Wilhelm Wundts American students. The HumanistManifesto followed similar views of Adam Weishaupt's agenda. It promoted the do whatthou wilt philosophy. Each wanted mainstream religion to be suppressed with the near

    worship of the human intellect (or Reason). The secular humanism from the HumanistManifesto is commonly taught in public schools for at least the past half of century. Even

    before Cecil Rhodes attended Oxford and Wundt set up his laboratory in Leipzig, therewas Albert Pike. Pike like Weishaupt was a Freemason and rejected conservative religionand believed in the liberty of thought (there is nothing wrong with the liberty of thoughtas long as it's not used for evil). Pike supported this view in his 1871 Morals and Dogma

    book where he wrote that:

    "...Everything scientific and grand in the dreams of the Illuminati, Jacob Boehme,

    Swedenborg, Saint-Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah. Liberty of

    thought universal Fraternity! A new doctrine, a new religion.

    Pike praised Lucifer as the light bearer like Alice Bailey. Bailey supported the agenda ofthe Illuminati. She viewed the Illuminati as enlightened people that are enlightened byLucifer (This is found in her book called A Treatise on the Seven Rays: Esoteric

    Psychology. She once supported Lucifer Publishing). Bailey wanted a new world orderwhere the points of light related to service just like ex-President & Bonesman George H.W. Bush promoted later in his Presidency.

    advocates, and Dominionist groups like the Council for National Policy or the CNP. So, this realfifth column wants to radicalize activist and demonize real Patriots trying to make reforms ionsociety. Balkanization of countries by the elite existed for thousands of years. That is why it isn'tsurprising that such groups want to balkanize America, so the constitutional government is gone,and the new world order is really formed. These neo-Confederate reactionaries act aslibertarians, but they advocate totalitarianism in a slick package. Rousas J. Rushdoony and GaryNorth promote anti-religious liberty doctrine that exploits spirituality at the expense of humanfreedom. Thomas E. Wood Jr. believes in the league of the South. It's a group that promotesAnglo-Celtic supremacy and promotes the Confederacy. Gary North has been working with theCNP in the 1980's and the 1990's. Other CNP people are Marvin Olasky, Howard Ahmanson Jr.,and the late Dr. D. James Kennedy. North promotes the heresy of Christian Reconstrcutionismthat created Dominionism (CNP member Rushdoony loves Dominionism). Rushdoony advocatedsegregation, opposed interracial marriage, and promote Confederate nationalism. Neo-Confederates are in the von Mises Institute. People know that the Confederacy wanted topreserved slavery. They had ties to the Knights of the Golden Circle. Suspected KGC memberJohn Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln in a conspiracy. Anton Chaitkin wrote aboutPike working with Mazzini. Anton wrote that Pike was a racist, tried to get rid of free black peoplefrom Arkansas and supported the Know Nothings (an anti-legal immigration policy group). Pikewas a Confederate Army General. Ironically, the Scottish Rite Journal in 1950 called the Anglo-Saxons as the race to promote the novus Ordo Seclorum or the new age. That is why black folks

    couldn't join the Scottish Rite Freemasons in high number until the late 1980's and early 1990's.

    It isnt a secret that the GOP paid for top Nazi broadcasts in the 1930s. FOX News back thensupported the Nazis for various commercial reels. The GOP employed Nazis in electioncampaigns. According to Glen Yeadon, Herbert Hoover conspired with top Nazi officials in Berlinto try to unseat Roosevelt in the 1940 election. Even George H. W. Bush set up the ethnicheritage groups of the party as havens for former Nazis and he employed known Nazi warcriminals on his campaign staff. The neo-conservatives have been tied to fascists ideologicallyanyway. Now, Leo Strauss was pro-fascist and was one ideological forefather of the neo-conservative movement. As a student, Strauss began studying the philosophers that provided thebasis for fascism: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Schmitt. He became a devoted lifelong follower oftheir philosophy. Strauss's philosophy and views became increasingly fascist as his studiesprogressed. The hallmark of Strauss's philosophy was his belief in totalitarian government. He

    rejected all principles of natural law and believed in keeping the masses ignorant and in generalservitude. The Nazi jurist and philosopher Carl Schmitt supported Strausss views. Schmittarranged a Rockefeller scholarship for Strauss in 1934. Strauss then used that influence to gointo America in the fall of 1937. He was the graduate faculty member at the New School for Social

    Research in 1938. Many PNAC neo cons are students of Strauss. As far back as the 1960s

    in the Goldwater era, the Religious conservative establishment planned the Moral

    Majority. Even Barry Goldwater wasnt some crook that seek political exploitation

    even though I dont agree with him on some issues. It grew in the 1970s as it

    existed as it is today in the late 1970s. They have exploited issues of abortion and

    prayer as an excuse to promote causes that would cut dramatically social

    programs. By 1979 Viguerie, Phillips and Weyrich abandoned plans to form their

    own political party and at the Religious Roundtable founded by Ed McAteer,

    Falwell was asked to spearhead a national Christian political organization to

    pressure Republicans on abortion and other social issues. This was the birth of the

    Moral Majority. In 1980 they supported Reagan in the presidential race. Today, the

    CNP is one nexus point in promoting the agenda of the neo cons too. The neo-Confederates worked with the robber barons to oppress minorities and the poor of many colors.That's their job (the robber barons are allies of corporate fascists). Their job is to hate people andoppress people of every background. So, we should oppose this evil.

    The John Birch Society isnt just a Vatican/Jesuit funded enterprise that promotedEcumenicalism. It also infiltrated much of the alternative media. Most real alternative media figurerespected some of JFKs populism, but the JBS back in the 1960s was one of President JohnKennedys harshest critics. The JBS falsely called John F. Kennedy a Communist. The JBS is

    known for promoting fears and unjust prejudices in order to achieve some sense of popularityamong the citizenry. JFK visited Dallas in 1963 before he was killed. The mayor of Dallas

    named Earle Cabell was a friend of the founder ofthe John Birch Society named Robert

    Welch. The mayor and some of the wealthy elite in Dallas hated Kennedy. Some of them

    affixed bumper-stickers to their cars saying K.O. the Kennedys. JFK wasnt more

    progressive than Roosevelt and the reactionaries still hated his guts. To them, a

    person to the left of Welch was a Communist. President John Kennedy responded to

    Birch Society criticism of his administration in an address delivered at a fund-raising

    dinner hosted by the Democratic Party at the Hollywood Palladium on November 18,

    1961. In recent months, I have spoken many times about how difficult anddangerous a period it is through which we move. I would like to take thisopportunity to say a word about the American spirit in this time of trial. In themost critical periods of our nations history, there have been those on the fringesof our society who have sought to escape their own responsibility by finding asimple solution, an appealing slogan or a convenient scapegoat.

    Now, we lived in the post-World War II period. There are those who deny that America isexperiencing Nazi policies or that a revival of Nazism is here in the West. They are wrongsince the facts show the comparisons between 1938 and 2010 in these following terms:

  • 8/8/2019 The New Gilded Age

    26/29

    -In both times, we have a police state system with immoral laws like the Patriot

    Act. The President can now call any non-U.S. citizen or U.S. citizen a terrorist and

    be sent to a secret military tribunal where real prisoner rights are heavily reduced.

    -We have the militarized of our police force nationwide with record police

    brutality and the TSA molesting even young children. This militarization hasoccurred in both eras.

    -We have anti-intellectualism and a persuasive materialism that is common in our

    political and even religious circles. This is common in both periods of time.

    Ignorance and incompetence leads into tyranny. Its only a matter of time. We

    have to think more critically about the political, economic, and social dangers in

    our world.

    -There have been in both eras numerous policies that target workers rights,

    benefits, and the freedoms of people from across socioeconomic backgrounds. Thesame criminals (or their descendants from the 1930s and the 1940s) that caused

    the hyperinflation and recession in Germany are the same criminals that caused the

    recession in America. In 2010, there has been the overt, deliberate destruction of

    workers rights and welfare. These policies benefit big money interests from

    Halliburton, Agribusiness, pharmaceutical companies, etc. If you want real rights,

    you have to support labor freedoms, worker safety, product safety, and

    environmental standards.

    -In both times, political puppets are praised as savior figures when the ruination of

    American culture continues.

    -In both eras, war crimes and imperialism were done by the American government

    and the Nazi government. The massacres of Waco, Abu Ghraib, attacks against

    civilian infrastructure in then Yugoslavia back in the 1990s, cluster bomb attacks

    in Afghanistan, drone attacks in Pakistan, torture worldwide, warrantless

    wiretapping (via the CIA, the FBI, and other intelligence agencies), evil

    renditions, and other crimes are examples of Western terrorism that occurred

    domestically and in foreign places. Even the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing was

    perpetrated by A U.S. military trained insurgency team. Fascism is against the

    promotion of the progressive citizenry. Since 2001, Americans have experienced

    another wave of attack on our Constitutional freedoms, domestic spying, CIAscandals, rigging of elections, etc.

    *With record economic disparity in the USA, we are certainly experiencing a new

    Gilded Age. Indifference toward tyranny and oppression is a serious problem

    among numerous human beings. This indifference occurred during the days of the

    Nazi Empire and the time in the world today in late 2010. The government is

    meant to be created voluntarily by individuals that allow real rights to reign

    in a society. The good news is that we can change course and not support

    propaganda, imperialism, and any form of injustice against anybody. Wehave the right to fight evils and promote the truth. Fair treatment for all humans is

    a real life goal. We become concern for any human for we can go up and go down

    together. Human compassion is included in my thinking process and other

    real folks globally. Thats honorable. There are those who want the government

    alone to solve all of their problems. I dont agree with that view. The government

    should help people in a legitimate fashion. The government should provide

    services, have a post office system, protect our national sovereignty, and other

    acts. Yet, the solutions to our problems should be comprehensive in using the

    government and initiatives on the part of individual people too. Individual and

    collective actions are fine to advance real resolutions. Ultimately, if youre an ablebodied human being (and youre not suffering in extreme poverty, extreme illness,

    etc.), you are accountable for the actions that you do especially. You have to self

    assertiveness, strength, and courage to achieve your destiny in life. The same men

    that created and funded the Nazis decades ago still have the same goal and

    intensions against us in the 21st

    century. I support anybody of any race thatwants real liberty and real truth to spread worldwide. You dont have to dress

    or act like some circus clown to be a human being. Be yourself and never be

    ashamed of what you are and what you look like. We will move forward. Thats a

    guarantee despite our flaws. The Lord is just to forgive sins and save souls.

    2011 Updates

    2011 is a new era in politics and other concepts of life. Now, President Barack

    Obama wants to have consensus with the GOP to get his agenda going. This was

    expressed in his 2011 State of the Union address. He wants to freeze domestic

    spending for five years, cut corporate tax rates, and wait for that trickle of capital to

    flow. Barack Obama in the State of the Union address didnt talk about

    unemployment (effecting blacks, Latinos, Asians, whites, etc.). Freezing finances is

    silly during a time when poverty is wrecking havoc in communities nationwide.

    Wall Street isnt going to radically help the common people at all. Repacking itemsfrom the past dont work either. There is nothing wrong with innovation, self

    invention, etc. but if youre not having policies to help the poorest of the poor (then

    youre agenda will not be really effective among all demographics of America).

    Public sector jobs are declining. Sputnik from 1957 caused the United States to

    spending a lot of money on education. Under the Obama/GOP austerity era, this

    isnt going to occur. The President does want real spending in some area and he

    promotes the Race to the Top Program. This educational system allows privately

    managed and publicly financed alternative national charter school system (a multi-

    billion dollar market for hedge funds plus speculators). Public educational

    infrastructure has been cut too. The corporate tax rate cut will be loved by thewealthy. These profits will accrue companies to hoard over 2 trillion dollars. This

    new bipartisan consensus is about slick reactionary tactics to get the establishments

    agenda moving along. Today, we have to seek community improvement instead of

    popular acclaim. We should disagree with the long U.S. military occupation in

    Afghanistan too along with the unjust bombing of Pakistan. So, the propagandists

    for the Republicans or Democrats have no excuse. Communities now are being spied

    upon and coming from assault by crooked police. Unions are being destroyed when

    some unions have protected populations. It's silly to assume that the President is a

    socialist when he's acting more center-left. That will tell you about how radical some

    Republicans are.

    Im still going to write and speak about these issueseven if they arent popular among the world. Its better
