Fascists Rising

I haven't been writing much lately, but I have been reading. I can say it's been a bit creepy. I read the book I mentioned here not that long ago, "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis. This book is hard to read but I found it worth the effort. The scariness of an American Fascist state would have seem improbable if not for recent events. Pair that with the "Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone", by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, and the conclusion is pretty clear. We are already living in a fascist America. Now consider putting that all into the hands of a Rudy Giuliani, again, it's just creepy. I lived in NYC under the Giuliani rule and believe me, he was a fascist before it was fashionable. That's the danger of him, he made it seem like a good idea.

Wikipedia on fascism led me to this article, written in 1944, that rings true today. http://newdeal.feri.org/wallace/haw23.htm. Bush puts nation above all, for great profit to big business and his personal contacts, channeling hatred for "terrorists" and "radical Muslim extremists", creating more convenient enemies for his war machine for each one he slays.

Rebuilding New Orleans is not convienent for the facsists, since they are already over-extended elsewhere. Hence the pretence that we do not exist.
