Bipartisan Fascism

“Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and interest on our debt not only will drive longer-term deficits and debt, they eventually will squeeze out spending for everything else — from defense to homeland security, education to research, law enforcement to food safety.

That will leave the government without the funds to protect the nation, address critical needs and respond to national emergencies.This challenge is far more than an issue of dollars and cents. We will address it, or we will face a future of less savings and investment, lower living standards and less U.S. leadership around the world.

We cannot remain the world’s leading economic, military and political power while generating larger deficits and debt without end.” Op-Ed Pete V. Domenic and Alice M. Rivlin

The jackals are now out in force, they have renewed their calls for “entitlement reform” ostensibly as their way to reduce and control the catastrophic fiscal crisis the US is facing. This is a classic psychological warfare trick.

On the surface it sounds valid like most cons; the con artists give you a smidgen of truth to get you to go along with their scheme to fleece you of your assets and money. In this case the con comes in the form of economic philosophies.

After WWII everyone was spoon feed the propaganda of economist John Maynard Keynes who said governments could impact the overall economy and should do so by spending even if it meant spending more revenue than the government took in.

Keynesian economics became the Bible of Western economic thought for years. The problem with his approach is that it looks at effects not the real causes of economic downturns, recessions and depressions.

Most modern economists are prostitutes who pander to governments and institutions of higher learning to get their grants, their tenure, recognition and affirmation from corporatist oligopoly media thereby fattening their wallets and gaining “credibility” and notoriety.

They never mention the role of the international banking elite and multi-national corporations who control and manipulate the stock and commodities markets, who rig Wall Street with insider deals, massive pump and dump campaigns and Ponzi schemes, who white-mail governments and force them to do their bidding because they (the banksters ,not the Treasury) control the purse strings and the corporations (not Congress) determine who the US is going to invade and bomb next.

These sociopaths have plotted for years to do away with the New Deal safety net programs and the fiscal crisis gives them cover and an excuse to do it. We are living in a time when the crooks have totally rigged the game and have brought their house of cards down on the people’s heads.

They don’t teach this in high school or college economics or political science classes. But instead of prosecuting the crooks, arresting the liars and warmongers the foxes in the hen house are going to impose even more draconian measures on the people.

Notice how all the talk about budget reform centers around Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid as it they were the only drains on the treasury and our wallets! They never talk about dismantling the war machine that has been running amuck since WWII!

The US empire is over extended and it is broke. Following the Keynesian model the US expended funds to build highways, fight wars (real and imagined), engage in social engineering and corporate welfare on a humongous scale.

The US was creating debt but on a fairly manageable level. The military industrial complex was happy because the US leaders had duped the people into believing that Russia a former ally was now their enemy and posed a serious existential threat.

Presidents of both parties fueled the arms race pouring ever more money into the sinkhole of weapons and war. But at least the taxes were paying for the wars except for Vietnam which ran up huge deficits, so much so the US was forced to default and go off the gold standard just to pay its bills!

Along come Ronald Reagan with his Trickle Down theory saying cut taxes for the rich and the economy will grow because businesses will have more money to invest, the economy will expand and the benefits will trickle down to the masses.

The problem was Reagan cut taxes but expanded the government and inflated government spending. He increased spending although he gave the impression (because the US media never challenged his lies) that his policies would reduce government debt.

Things got so bad under Reagan that when his Vice President became President, George H.W Bu$h was forced to raise taxes “Read my lips, no new taxes” to reduce the deficits Reagan’s policies caused.

The tax increase and the resulting recession was Bu$h’s downfall but he had a plan B in the wings, Bill Clinton. Clinton ushered in s new era of Democratic fascism and warmongering. Clinton was the surrogate for Wall Street’s criminal agenda and did everything they told him to do except invade Iraq and occupy Somalia.

Under Clinton watch Wall Street was able to gut the Glass-Steagall Act setting the stage for our current economic meltdown. But because Clinton refused to invade Iraq, the right wing warmongers set him up for impeachment with the Monica Lewinsky debacle. (His handlers knew he had sexual issues and used it against him).

Then came the village idiot George W Bu$h who gave his Kleptocratic buddies even bigger tax cuts and while expanding government spending with his imperialistic wars and domestic police state under his bogus War on Terrorism.

Cutting taxes and going on a spending binge while allowing all kinds of corporate rip offs, fraud and Wall Street criminality put us in the spot we are in, not Social Security or Medicare! Oh, I forgot to mention since the late 70's the government was stealing the money in the Social Security Trust Fund to cover shortfalls in revenue.

So here we are on the verge of fiscal default and bankruptcy and all the New World Order’s flunkies can say is bail out Wall Street but cut Social Security and Medicare. They never talk about cutting corporate welfare, stopping the wars or bringing the troops home. You won’t hear them say anything about taxing Wall Street to pay down the debt let alone prosecuting them for their criminal behavior. Naw that’s too much like right.

I hate to be the one to break this to you but their goal is to create a global Neo-Feudalist state were we are the new serfs, peons and the deprived. Read the history about the “Dark Ages” in Europe. This what’s in store for most of the world except they will allow us to buy all the new gadgets and gizmos we can afford to keep us placated.
This is why people all around the world are in an uproar.

They are feeling the squeeze and they don’t like it. Unfortunately the people in the US are so comatose, prozaced out and dumbed down most will never wake up to the fact a serious con game is being run on them. I listen to libertarian and right wing radio just to see what they are thinking and planning.

These white folks are extremely upset because they realize their white skin privileges are being whittled away on a daily basis and they see how they are being played by the ruling elites. But most hold out hope they can still vote the rascals out. It still hasn’t dawned on them the system is rigged against them and they can’t win as its currently constructed.

Black people on the other hand are so out of it we have abdicated our role as the moral compass of this degenerate society, as a result the ship is floundering. What will it take to right the ship? Revolution anyone?
