What follows are the writings of an American who objects intensely to the society he finds himself living in.
I am using this site to jot down my thoughts, as a place to store my writings and work out the ideas in them, hopefully to use later in a real website. This is not a finished product, it is a collection of essays that I write as the notions come to me.
You are not expected to agree with what is written here, you are not expected to like what is written here, and you are not expected to read what is written here at all. If you do choose to read on, you assume all liability for any reactions that may occur as a result. I have things to say that many people will take offense at. This is my space to try to express myself freely on any and all topics, without regard to worrying who is going to take offense. Read on at your own risk.

You can be fascist if you want. You can be American. But you cannot be both.
The first obligation of a true fascist is to accept unquestioningly whatever the government tells him. Part A of this duty is "My country, right or wrong", Part B of this duty is "Support our troops".
The first obligation of a true American is to speak up and speak out when the government is wrong.
Freedom? The fascists gab on and on about "Freedom", but they balk at the idea that responsible citizens have a duty to criticize the government when it is in the wrong. What kind of freedom is that when people have to suppress their own disapproval of the actions taken by the government, using their own tax money to accomplish them? It's not freedom of speech, it's not freedom of thought, and it's not the freedom of living in a society that is held accountable for its own behavior. It's not the freedom of living in a society that values truth and justice and conscience.
To live in a society where truth, justice, conscience, speech, and thought are suppressed, is not freedom at all. To live in a country that believes it need not be held accountable for its own actions is not freedom.
The only "freedom" all the fascist flagwavers are experiencing, or care to experience, is the freedom to pump all the gas we can abscond from Iraq and Aghanistan into their gas-guzzling motor vehicles.
Freedom IS free! . . . But Jingoistic militarism costs billions of dollars and thousands of lives every day.

The most basic distinction has been made between people in this society. The fascists have asserted themseves, have risen up in a single wave, a giant Sunami of Fascism in our country. Which of course is exactly what fascism is all about: unstoppable unity. "Fascism" comes from the latin word Fasces, meaning bundling of many into a single unit of compiled strength. "E Pluribus Unum","United We Stand", describe the concept of the Fasces, which is the bundle of sticks you see on the back of a dime. "My Country, Right Or Wrong" describes the concept of Fascism, which you see in Nazi Germany, or in Bush America.
"Support Our Troops" is the slogan of a fascist nation. Don't question the military actions of our country, don't question the decisions of the government, the president, or their motives. Just "Support Our Troops", unquestioningly.
The United States has become a military dictatorship. Ruled by a militaristic dictator. Our dictator doesn't care what he has to do to get himself placed in power, he will do it. Do you really think the fact that Jeb Bush was the governor of Florida in 2000, at the time of the Florida ballot trick, was merely an incredibly amazing coincidence? It was not coincidence, not one bit.
Do not be surprised. George Bush Sr. was the head of the CIA in the 1970s, before being Reagan's vice-president in the 1980s. Through the 1970s and 1980s the CIA went around supporting, funding, arming, training, and installing military dictators in other countries around the world, especially South America, Central America, and the Middle East.
This was all for practice.
They got it down to a science, practicing over and over in other countries. And once they had it perfected, what happened. George Bush installs his own son as the military dictator of the United States. Complete with all the techniques they perfected in other countries: election rigging, blatant propaganda media, and swaying public opinion with nationalistic, flagwaving, religious bigotry, and creation of enemies, boogeymen, right down to the staging of attacks on the country to manipulate public opinion. This is how you install and maintain military dictatorships. Well done Mr Bush. You succeeded. Your boy is now the American Fuhrer. Adolf would be in admiration of your achievement.

The situation our society is in right now is not something new. It is merely the ongoing development of what has been going on for a long long long time in this country.
It has become worse, but is not new, and should not really be any surprise to us.
What it is though, is that we have reached the point where we can no longer look the other way and pretend we don't have a problem. You can go on making youself sick, ignoring the risks, for years and years, and denying that you have a problem. But one day, you get the diagnosis back from the doctor. You have the X-rays, the blood tests, and it's undeniable that you have a serious illness. That's the point which America has reached.
Diagnosis: Fascism.
The state we are in now, is like a person being diagnosed with AIDS. It should not be a surprise. The person with AIDS has been carrying around the HIV virus for years. Trying to live as normally as possible, pretending they're not infected. But one day, it hits. You no longer can deny your illness. You have progressed from having HIV to having full-blown AIDS. It is a new, but expectable, development of your pre-existing condition.
America has AIDS. An acquired immune deficiency, making it vulnerable to parasitic attack.
The Constitution was supposed to be our vaccine, our innoculation, to protect America from the societal diseases that the revolutionaries in the 1770s and 1780s saw throughout European history and wanted to protect this country from.
But, these viruses are tricky, and adaptable. And the Fascism virus has shown itself to be quite adaptable and tricky, and able to get around the Constitution with very little trouble.
And when they can't get around the Constitution, they will change it. See them already discussing changing the Constitution to get Adolf Schwarzenegger the chance to become the president of a country he was not born in.
Of course, Arnold Hitler, the dictator of Germany from 1933-1945, was not a German. He was from another country, called Austria. The moviestar/muscleman governor of California, on the other hand, is from a country called . . . Austria. Hmmm. . . .
America does have AIDS. An acquired immune deficiency. The Constitution, and the American principles of democracy and freedom, were supposed to make us immune to the Fascism virus. But we are no longer immune. The virus has evolved, mutated, developed, and the Constitution alone is no longer enough to protect our society. We are no longer immune. We have not been immune for a long time actually. We have been carrying around the FIV Fascism Immunodeficiency Virus for decades.
We had FIV when Jimmy Carter got elected by repeating ad infinitum " . . . the Greatest Nation On Earth". We had FIV when wooden-headed actor dummy Ronald Reagan pretended to be the president by waving and saying "No comment" to any question he was ever asked. We had serious FIV when ex-CIA head George Bush Sr became the president and launched his oil-grabbing war against Iraq in 1991.
But it was in 2000, when the Bush clan managed to successfully thwart the American election process by vote-tampering election-rigging in the state which had a Bush as governor, that the doctor had to be visited. And 10 months later, when a calculated attack on New York took place, that the diagnosis came back, undeniable. FIV had become AIDS.
The virus, which had been running through America's veins for decades, erupted. Immediately the waving of flags exploded. The grunts for war became louder and louder. The First Amendment's Separation of Church and State was flushed down the toilet, and "God bless this and God bless that" was treated as valid political commentary and public policy.
And anyone daring to question the American Dictator or the new policies of the Regime was immediately accused of being Un-American and told they should leave the country. Heil Bush!

Take three minutes to consider this question:
If you found out for an undeniable fact that the attack on the World Trade Center in September 2001 was not the work of foreign Islamic anti-American fanatics, but was in fact planned and arranged by the George Bushes and their gang, just for the purpose of creating a national martyrdom mythology and as a carte-blanche for their plans of global warfare by means of manipulating sentiments of the American public. If you found out that the only "Terrorist" responsible for the 3,000 deaths in New York was George Bush himself, that he is the Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, pretending to be protecting America from all these foreign Terrorists when he is in fact the one who calculatingly planned and arranged the deaths of those people in New York just so he could twist American opinion around his finger and use his "War On Terror" as the unopposable excuse to do anything and everything his militaristic little oil-grabbing religious-bigot mind wanted. If you found out that this was the actual truth, how would you feel about everything that's happened since September 11, 2001. And what would you do.
Would you take down your flags, would you remove your American flag decals from your car. Would you remove the "God Bless America" ribbon magnets from your car, and your "Support
Our Troops" and "God Bless Our Troops" ribbons?
Would you feel used, duped? Would you feel you had been made a complete fool of?
Give yourself 3-5 minutes to consider this question. The amount of time you might sit watching TV commercials or going to the bathroom.

What I have just suggested to you either is or is not what actually happened. There are PLENTY of reasons to suspect that it is in fact what actually took place.
But even if by some chance all those suspicious clues are false, and it turns out that the "9/11" event was not a deliberately planned occurrence staged by the Bush group, they reacted to it and used it EXACTLY as if they had planned it. Which is precisely what makes it so suspicious that they most likely arranged it in the first place. They wasted not a single second to use this event as the launching pad for their fascist plans of world domination.
Ultimately, whether or not Bush was the one who arranged the "9/11" attack, makes relatively little difference. Because his response to it was the same response that would have been if it was all their own well-organized plot to begin with.
If he had not arranged this attack, and had reacted to it with the slightest bit of reason and intelligence, there would be no reason to suspect that he had been behind it. The serious suspicions that this was a deliberate Bush plot derive directly from his reaction to it.
Everyone suspects O.J. Simpson was guilty of murder by his reaction, by his attempting to flee the scene in 1994. I suspect George Bush is guilty of having plotted the World Trade Center attack by his immediate reaction to it.
But if those suspicions are wrong, if he merely REACTED to the situation AS IF he had been guilty of causing it, then really the distinction is very slight anyhow. He still reacted to the situation in the manner of a fascist military dictator, and used the situation to gain the powers of a fascist military dictator. Which demonstrates if nothing else that the natural inclinations and desires of George W Bush are those of a fascist military dictator.
If he were something else, if he were an American duly-elected President, with understanding and appreciation of the American principles of the Constitution which he swears to defend in his very public Inauguration ceremonies, then his reaction to the "9/11" event would have been something very different than what it was.

In the 1960s the Cowboy Western was a large category of TV shows. They were very popular especially with young boys. Millions of boys watched dozens of Cowboy shows on TV, mostly excited by the images of horses and gunfights.
If you watch these shows as an adult, you will see that most of their stories revolved around serious issues of the need for justice in the face of prejudice and rash vengeance. In Bonanza, or Gunsmoke, the main characters are constantly having to stand up to lynch mobs and vigilante posses who are usually ready to string someone up based on flimsy evidence, false accusations, and outright bigotry. Often the main characters had to stand up alone against these opponents. There was a high ethical message or lesson embedded in most of these shows.
Millions of young viewers, however, really only watched them to see the horses and the bang-bang fights, not really caring who won or what they were fighting about in the first place. Just to see the action, while missing the significance of the plot.
The reaction of George Bush Jr to the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001 was the reaction of a kid who had spent his whole childhood watching bang-bang cowboy shows on TV, convinced that there was nothing more complicated to understand than that the guys with white cowboy hats were The Good Guys and the guys with black cowboy hats were The Bad Guys. The white hats had to always win, the black hats had to always lose, and there was nothing more to think about.
The entire message that Ben Cartwright or Matt Dillon was always fighting for, that there can be no justice without due process of law, that lynch mobs and vigilante vengeance can, and usually do, lash out at innocent people and make a mockery of the notion of justice, was entirely lost on a shoot'em-up knucklehead kid like George Bush.
Bush's immediate reaction to the World Trade Center attack was a spurting of knuckleheaded jingoism. "Wanted: Dead or Alive" was his pronouncement on the accused "Prime Suspect" Osama Bin Soup-Ladle, without any actual evidence that Osama had anything to do with the incident, let alone firm proof or any kind of due legal process. "This is Good vs. Evil!". Bush's actual reported remarks.
Good vs. Evil. All the Good Guys wear white cowboy hats, all the Bad Guys wear black cowboy hats. Nothing more complicated than that needs to be considered. All the Good Guys have star spangled red/white striped flags. All the Bad Guys wear turbans.
You could see it all over the internet. Particularly in chat rooms. Ignorant bigot fascist dumbasses were constantly talking about how we should nuke all the "Towelheads" or "Ragheads". This was their bigotted slang lumping of all people who wear or live among others who might wear turbans. Because Americans don't wear turbans. Americans wear cowboy hats.
Was this bigotry really any different from the bigotry of previous centuries, where Americans viewed anyone they could term an "Injun" or "Redskin" as the natural Bad Guy and automatically deserving gun-target. No, it was the exact same bigotry. Only we've run out of Injuns to kill, same way we ran out of Passenger Pigeons and Buffalo. But there's billions of them "Towelheads" to point our guns and our intercontinental missiles at. Yippee! Yahoo!! Is it even any coincidence that one of the biggest internet chat entities is called "Yahoo"? Probably not.

Somebody I don't even know actually read at least part of this, and sent me his comments. He accused me of being "borderline communist", like that's some kind of indictment. He thought the idea that Bush could have planned the "9/11" event was ridiculous because he claims Bush is too stupid to plan anything. Well I don't really think George Jr came up with the idea or worked out the details. George Bush is not an individual, he is the figurehead of a collective, and I do believe his father gives him most of his orders.
This reader went on to criticize my accusing anyone with "Support Our Troops" stickers of being fascist, and to tell me that comparing Bush to Hitler is "laughable".
Well I'm not laughing. Bush has the same mentality as Hitler. The same goals of world conquest, chauvinistic bigotry, and lust for war and bloodshed. He even uses the same terminology. The Bush "New World Order" is a direct echo of Hitler's "New Order". Bush's The Homeland rhetoric is just like Hitler's The Fatherland. I'm using this site to express my genuine opinions. The First Amendment has not gone completely through the paper-shredder, and I still have the right of freedom of expression, freedom of thought, and freedom of speech. For the moment at least. And I am excercising it. In my opinion, anyone displaying "Support Our Troops" messages is a fascist. The whole intent of that message is to squelch any anti-war protest. No-one's allowed to criticize the bogus wars that Bush I and Bush II get us into. To criticize the war is treated as being unsupportive of the Troops.
Well, screw that. Screw this war, screw this phoney president, screw the dumbass murderous troops, and screw your fascist bumper stickers and knuckleheaded flagwaving mentality. Just expressing my honest opinion. I am an American and have that right.

Here is the radio interview transcript of Stanley Hilton: www.rense.com/general57/aale.htm
It offers a lot of allegations which he claims he has the hard evidence for, but is not allowed to reveal too much due to a lawsuit he is pursuing.
In any case, I didn't write this. Take a look at it and see what he has to say.

We ALL support "our troops", whether we like it or not, in the one way that actually matters: financially. Our taxes pay for the troops, at the rate of billions of dollars every single day.
The United States spends more money on militarism than all the rest of the countries in the world PUT TOGETHER. America has more "weapons of mass destruction" than ALL OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD put together. What America spends on militarism could feed and house EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the planet Earth.
We ALL support "our troops". Now get them the hell OUT of Iraq and Afghanistan!
And don't sit there trying to tell us all we have no right to criticize these completely bogus wars that WE ARE PAYING for, with your ridiculous insistence that we "support our troops", because we are ALL supporting them.
