Fascism is a political ideology which, unfortunately, is mischaracterized by both media and academia. For example, Wikipedia describes fascism as, “A far right, authoritarian, ultra-nationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, central autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.”
The definition is mostly correct, except for the first words, claiming fascism is a “far right” ideology. Hitler was considered a fascist but his party, contrary to the political science experts (disguised as journalists), was far left. The Nazi Party is the Nationalist Socialist German Workers’ Party. Note the name “socialist,” an ideology of the left, not the right.
Another famous fascist, Benito Mussolini further clarified, “Fascism should rightly be called corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.”
That’s where America is now, corporate and government power merging into a totalitarian behemoth, crushing any and all dissent. Note that this isn’t nationalizing private corporations as in Venezuela and Cuba, but it’s the government still controlling corporations through coercion and collaboration.
Take for example the recent Twitter File revelations. The federal government took control of big tech and social media giants to control free speech and dissent. It was more than simply the Biden campaign pressuring Twitter. The FBI had weekly meetings with social media corporations to warn them of “Russian interference” or “hack and leak operations,” which they knew very well were nothing of the sort.
And despite denials, Biden administration officials may still be meeting with media executives. Who is on President Biden’s guest list during the many weeks he is at one of his Delaware vacation homes?
The result was social media suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which would have likely altered the 2020 presidential election outcome. Specifically, “16% of Biden voters would have voted differently if Hunter Biden laptop story was not suppressed by media, big tech.” In an election decided by about 50,000 votes in a few swing districts, this was obvious election interference. And it wasn’t only the FBI, but also the Department of Homeland Security.
Executives from Facebook and Twitter, including the recently fired head of Trust & Safety Vijaya Gadde, held regular meetings with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to discuss censorship on a wide range of topics, including the withdrawal from Afghanistan, coronavirus, and “racial justice,” according to leaked documents.
Further revelations from Twitter Files part two noted, “Teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users.”
This is called “shadow banning”, a practice that Twitter executives, under oath before Congress, denied. Elon Musk, opening the windows at Twitter headquarters, discovered that the social media giant was “visibility filtering,” a euphemism for shadow banning.
Will any former Twitter executives be prosecuted for lying to Congress? Fat chance. The DOJ practices its own form of shadow banning, only prosecuting Trump supporters and opponents of the ruling class, emulating the “justice” systems of banana republics.
Rep Adam Schiff provided a recent illuminating example of government controlling a private organization by demanding censorship, in violation of the First Amendment. As tweeted by his colleague Rep Diana Harshbarger,
Government, through big tech and social media, is using banning, algorithms, or censorship to push its political world view while suppressing all dissent. This is one of many ways to rig an election, by controlling the campaigns and narratives by blocking or promoting information and news.
Elon Musk discovered and acknowledged, “US political candidates were blacklisted while running for office.” Anyone want to guess which political party these candidates belonged to? Did it extend internationally, as in Brazil? Musk believes that is “possible.” Government in bed with corporations.
Twitter is the only social media giant shining a light on the tech sector’s willing participation in government fascism. What about Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Instagram? Will any sunlight shine on their similar practices?
No way, unless Elon Musk or someone else who supports American liberty and the US Constitution purchases these companies. Most elected Republicans have no interest in this entire topic as they too benefit from this new American fascism. Any bets that Mitch McConnell, Liz Cheney, Kevin McCarthy, or their staff told social media giants who to “visibility filter”?
It is not only Twitter and Facebook, but other big media organizations that have merged with the government, at least the Democrats and Republican establishment. Think of the leaks from the FBI, CIA, and DOJ to favored reporters at the New York Times or Washington Post, all to advance a favored narrative.
This would include the myriad bogus stories about candidate or President Trump as a Russian asset. How many leaks came from the Mueller Special Counsel team, a government entity, colluding with big media to shape public perception and the news narrative? Or from past and present government employees, all receiving either a government salary or pension, given an open forum on cable news shows to gaslight the public that the Hunter Biden laptop story was “classic Russian disinformation” when these former intelligence directors and agencies knew otherwise. Again, the merger of government and corporate power.
What meetings and influence have the CDC and NIH had on the COVID narrative, banning and shaming anyone who dared to question COVID dogma of vaccines being “safe and effective,” or that vaccines prevent infection and transmission, or that masks and distancing were effective, and that young healthy individuals dropping dead in record numbers is all “disinformation”?
Did Doctors Fauci and Walensky or their underlings, also meet with Twitter censors? Or did the FBI and DHS handle this for them? What role did Dr Fauci’s daughter play in any of this as she conveniently worked at Twitter? Just as the FBI’s general counsel and Spygate attorney James Baker conveniently moved to Twitter, obstructing the recent Twitter releases, shielding the FBI from scrutiny. The swamp indeed runs deep.
We may soon find out about COVID collusion as Elon Musk just tweeted, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci”, suggesting another Twitter release focusing on COVID narrative manipulation.
Biden and Hitler, Stalin and Mao with Castro thrown in we now know what its like living under a Dictator
Anyone who truly believes that Joe Biden is the equivalent of Stalin, Mao, or Castro, and that America is an authoritarian police state, has more loose screws than a Studebaker.
They all employ political terror. They all employ violence. They all employ propaganda. They all suppress truth. They all imprison political opponents. They all use the government to suppress opposition. They all used fraud to win elections. Do the math. And Studebakers were very soundly built.
Anyone that supports idiot Biden and his authoritarian, fascist regime is a big fan of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro and the Kim’s
The right seems to believe that extending rights and freedoms more widely somehow curtails their own. I disagree. I like Biden, for standing up against such thinking, and for the philosophical consistency that his words and actions have demonstrated over time.
Today: Biden signs into law same-sex marriage bill, 10 years after his famous Sunday show answer on the issue
Biden, in my opinion, is doing a good job, given the challenges he’s facing. He dealt appropriately with COVID despite a lot of irrational contrarian resistance. He’s dealing appropriately with Putin’s aggression—one of the most dangerous international situations to confront the nation in decades. He has supported the unpopular but totally necessary interest hikes needed to bring inflation under control; we’ve thus far avoided recession, and the rate of inflation is finally coming down. He has signed important legislation despite extreme partisan polarization in Congress, and his party has fared MUCH better in the midterms than historical precedent would have led anyone to expect.
Joe Biden Invites Drag Queen Named “Marti Gould Cummings” to Attend ‘Respect For Marriage Act’ Signing Ceremony at White House
Idiot Biden is a vile, corrupt, degenerate, lying sexual predator. He is incompetent and a puppet. Idiot Biden is destroying this nation, with visible deterioration every day. He has done NOTHING that has improved anything anywhere and plenty that has made conditions worse throughout. His failures with the economy, energy, Afghanistan, COVID, the border, the supply chain, crime, world peace, education and national security are epic and will not (God willing) ever be surpassed.
How could any moral human being praise someone that forced his daughter to shower with him?
Trump truly made this country great again and idiot Biden could not wreck it fast enough. Like Weingarten, you are 180 degrees out on your appraisal. NO ONE has been worse for this nation than idiot Biden.
No marriage or variation of marriage was at any risk whatsoever. A great big NOTHING. Idiot Biden’s wide open southern border is the biggest threat to marriage, along with everything else. Why doesn’t that stupid, lying, corrupt tool of Soros do something about the catastrophe he created there?
Did idiot Biden lie when he said:
… the Afghanistan withdrawal went perfectly?
… the southern border is secure?
… Border Patrol mounted agents whipped illegal immigrants?
… inflation is transient?
… gas was $5 a gallon when he took office?
… Putin caused all the inflation?
… there was no vaccine when he took office?
… he has traveled 17,000 miles with Xi?
… that there are no background checks at gun shows?
… that the Georgia election law suppresses the ability to vote?
… the “surge” of illegal immigrants he caused happens every year?
… that he would only serve one term?
… that the disaster at the border is Trump’s fault?
… that the information on Hunter’s laptop was “Russian disinformation”?
… that he had no knowledge of Hunter’s foreign business deals?
… the Supreme Court had decided election fraud cases?
… that he hasn’t taken lobbyist money?
… that he vaccinated (at the time) 70% of the population?
… he has driven an 18-wheeler?
… that the Georgia election integrity law would suppress votes?
… that he was a coal miner?
… he was a civil rights activist?
… he was arrested in the Capital?
… he was arrested in S. Africa?
… 350 million Americans had been vaccinated?
… no foreign leaders had criticized him?
… about nation building and putting soldiers in Afghanistan?
… about not leaving Afghanistan until all Americans were removed?
… that the collapse in Afghanistan “caught him by surprise”?
… he visited the Tree of Life synagogue after an attack on it?
… that he was going to end COVID?
… he was working “around the clock”?
… he had an opportunity to go to Annapolis and play football?
… that the 2nd Amendment banned weapons?
… the .223 and 9mm round were the most powerful rounds?
… told union members that since he took office, they have more money, more savings?
… that he was responsible for a planned Social Security cost of living increase?
… he would fire anyone on his staff that showed disrespect to anyone?
… there was no action on COVID19 “for months” under Trump?
… Officer Sicknick was murdered at the Capital?
… Republicans were defunding police, not Democrats?
… the economy was “in a tailspin” when he took office?
… the Capital riot was the worst incident of violence since the Civil War?
… the trillions of dollars Democrats were spending would cause inflation?
… Trump said white supremacists were “fine people”?
… there were Russian bounties?
… Democrat spending would not increase the deficit?
… no one making less that $400,000 would see tax increases?
… his infrastructure bill was “paid for”?
… the majority of illegal immigrant families are sent back?
… no family members of his or staff would get government jobs?
… the government was going to “buy American”?
Each and every day 300+ people in the U.S. die from the fentanyl that Job Biden allows to flow across our southern border. Each and every day, children are brought illegally into the U.S. only to be sold into sex slavery or for their organs. Women are raped by the cayotes that charge them to trek them across the dessert into the U.S. and Biden does nothing, says nothing to Mexico who is now busing illegals to the Texas border.
Gasoline is still higher than when Biden took office, as is inflation. The Kung Flu is on the rise, in spite of you claiming Biden has done a bang up job in that arena. Putin just shoved it in Biden’s rear with the Griner trade. And now he disgraces the White House with his “drag queen” show. Oh, and let’s not forget; the senile old racist really thinks kids should be able to decide to have top/bottom surgery before they are allowed to vote, get married without parental permission or join the military.
You are truly a useful idiot.
America is an authoritative dictatorship.
You should live for a time in Putin’s Russia, Ali Khamenei’s Iran, Xi Jinping’s China, Kim’s North Korea, Al Bashir’s Sudan, Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, or any of the worlds 40-some seriously oppressive authoritarian states. You might soon come to appreciate America’s freedoms more.
The BB player got a faster and more fair trial than the 400 political prisoners of J6
Brittney Griner got 9 years in a Russian penal colony, after being quickly tried while locked in a courtroom cage. In Putin’s Russia, the outcome of trials are generally known before the trials take place. The rule of law is largely absent. Civil justice is a joke. If you’re defrauded, you don’t even have a right to sue. For the most part, the criminal codes of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic still remain in effect.
She confessed. She had the drugs. She’s an idiot that thinks because she’s a black lesbian, she gets carte blanc everywhere like she does in the US. She merely got the maximum sentence while January 6th protesters get excessive sentences and excessive charges, sometimes not even having been there. Just for propaganda.
How is that different from Russia or the Soviet Union?
There are no “400 political prisoners”. 65 have received jail or prison sentences—seditious conspiracy, violent assault and battery, etc, are not minor infractions. 50 have received home detention sentences.
And Ray Epps, the guy on video exhorting those protesting at the Capital on January 6th to storm the Capital, the ONLY person seen doing that, where is he? Why hasn’t he been arrested? Why hasn’t he been QUESTIONED? And why haven’t the 12 or so FBI assets be questioned?
This was a Democrat operation.
Democrats add the US to that “40-some” oppressive authoritarian states.
Just as they do with racism, leftists like to call everything they don’t like “fascist”. Obviously they have no idea what fascism is, as they are usually making these accusations even as they are being fascist. Democrats deploy ANTIFA when they want to apply political terror and violent pressure. They control much of the media, maintaining a protective shroud of propaganda. They now politically control the DOJ and FBI to conduct purely political operations against political opponents.
Democrats are fascist, pure and simple. Fascism is not an ideology, it is a methodology, a behavior and Democrats exhibit all the characteristics of it. The longer it is in place, the more difficult it will be to remove it.
