Government Punishes Savers to Support Debtors – Has Western Society become Fascist?

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Martin Armstrong

 
The entire problem we face going ahead stems from the very idea of Karl Marx that government is capable of managing the economy either through communism or autocratic-socialism where the state dictates to the economy under the pretense of caring for the people, that has truly become a derivative of fascism where the state comes first.


This is even reflected in the conviction rate that has risen from 72% in the 1970s to virtually 99% today eliminating fair trials.

We also see it taking shape in the militarization of the police that actually do not protect society, but the state from the people.

Police have been converted to IRS agents on wheels to raise money by abusing the people for every possible type of traffic violation.

In Princeton, New Jersey, they even have signs in a parking lot “park head in”. If you back into a parking spot you get a ticket.

The actor Alec Baldwin was arrested for facing his bicycle against traffic. Who knew you could even be arrested for such a thing?

This is autocratic-socialism where the state pretends its abuse of the people is for their benefit, when in fact there is always a profit that falls to them like FATCA and the NSA really looking for money – not terrorists.



Savers are being exploited by government under the pretense of managing the economy.

You see many retired people back in the work force doing service jobs because they can no longer earn income on their savings for life.

Savers receive no return presently on their life savings because Central banks punish savers and subsidize the debtors assuming that borrowing is required for economic growth.

This core assumption that government even possesses the mental capabilities to manage the economy is extremely dangerous for it then creates a fascist state where society is supposed to worship the state as all-knowing and caring where its survival takes precedent over the individual.

This is reflected in calling Snowden a traitor. How is it possible that someone who exposes illegal activity in government faces life in prison?

Such legal positions are only possible in a fascist state where it is not We the People, it is the State Comes First.



This is actually part of the political-economic cycle where the arrogance of the state officials leads them to assume it is their well-being and power that is important and must be defended against the people.

The people become the great unwashed and the state rises confusing itself as the embodiment of the nation and country.

Thomas Paine pointed this out in his Common Sense.

Then too, like Snowden, he was an enemy of the state was to be hanged.

Thomas Jefferson was also regarded as a traitor and the king sent an entire army to his house to capture Jefferson and hang him. He was warned and escaped watching the army surround his home from the woods on the hill.


Even if we go back to the Roman Republic we find Cicero also addresses the “arrogance of officialdom”.

This is simply a problem that has plagued human society since the dawn of time.

It is the arrogance of government that forgets the PEOPLE are the nation, not politicians and bureaucrats.

Consequently, in their blind arrogance, the political powers in Washington would kill Snowden for exposing their corruption. They would love to behead him, but restrain themselves only to pretend they are noble

Obama has seen his polls collapse to 39% favorable.

Within that, are simply the ignorant who would vote for a democrat simply because they hate republicans.

Of course, there are republicans who also do not understand and just hate democrats just because they exist.

TV stations like FOX and MSNBC should be banned and we need the old law returned where the press MUST present a fair and balance view instead of this war of propaganda.

For those who do not know the history of the FCC, it was once called the Fairness Doctrine which was a policy of the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses to present controversial issues of public importance with both sides and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable and balanced.

The FCC eliminated the Doctrine in 1987, and in August 2011 the FCC formally removed the language that implemented the Doctrine.

We have been subjected and bombarded with nothing but propaganda ever since.

MSNBC and programs like the Ed Show would NEVER have a Republican on or EVER say a kind word about any Republican.

This is not press – it is no different from the notorious Pravda (Truth) of the old Soviet Union.

Obama actually had the arrogance to tell the American people as reported on January 17, 2014, that they must give up their civil liberties to secure the existence of the state – that is precisely fascism.

Obama said the American NSA and military power worldwide was more important than individual civil rights.

Whenever people must surrender rights to support the state that falls in the category of fascism.

One common definition of fascism focuses on three basic concepts: anti-liberalism, anti-communism and anti-conservatism.

Its basic tenet is a nationalist authoritarian state with goals of creating a regulated economic structure to transform social relations within a modern, self-determined culture.

This is precisely what we have devolved into. We now have a form of political behavior that is marked by obsessive preoccupation with the state’s political power, arguing the community is at risk because of terrorism so everyone must now prove who they are to travel, right down to taking your shoes off and exposure to accumulative dangerous radiation, all because we are victims of unreasonable fanatic hatred groups and cults.

These hate-groups hate the political image of America created by the arrogance of officialdom.

 

Our dominance by this new authoritarian-fascist state is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism that some believe only came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. 

This concept of European fascism was influenced by national syndicalism that they only attribute to originating in Italy in the immediate aftermath of World War I. 

This combined more typically right-wing positions with elements of left-wing politics, in opposition to liberalism, Marxism, and traditional conservatism. 

Although fascism is usually placed on the far right on the traditional left–right spectrum, it is hard to really place it left or right because if you move to the extreme left or right you reach political agreement with minor differences.

The goals of the fascists were not much different from those infecting our society today.

The primary goal was to manage the economy and to direct it according to the benefit of the [corporate] state.

This is why savers are being punished today for the benefit of debtors, which includes the [corporate] state. Keep interest rates suppressed and the state reduces its costs.

That is the primary goal intermixed with pumping up the economy so that tax revenues rise.

The fascists of Italy sought to unify their nation through an authoritarian state that promoted the mass mobilization of the national community and were characterized by having leadership that initiated a revolutionary political movement aiming to reorganize the nation along principles according to fascist ideology.

Fascist movements shared certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultranationalism and militarism.

We are seeing the dominance of the NSA and the militarization of the police that was supposed to be civil. These are all traits that are highly dangerous historically and reflect the arrogance of officialdom.

Fascism typically involves expansion of the state power on every level, which includes war and imperialism that serves as a means to achieve national rejuvenation and veneration.

Right now in Ukraine, the people are told the state is at war and that comes first and they will have to wait for political reform.

Fascism truly asserts that stronger nations have the right to expand their territory by displacing weaker nations.

We are seeing this as a trait in both the USA and the EU not to forget Russia.

Consequently, fascist ideology consistently invokes the primacy of the state.

We see this both with Obama’s defense of the NSA and economically with the central banks attempting to “manage” the economy according to the theories of Marx and Keynes that the state possesses the right and capacity to manipulate the economy.

They have been unable to prove that ability even once for they are far too corrupt to even manage anything in an unbiased manner.

Unfortunately, governments routinely punish savers to support debtors all for the benefit of the state – not society and certainly not the savers.

There are economists who disparage the spread between the rich and the poor without explanation.

The “rich” are not getting “richer” from salaries – they make that money through investment.

If you do not invest – you obviously cannot make more than a salary.

Thugs Try to Destroy Free Elections

Dear Richard,

In Illinois, the Republicans have actually hired gun-carrying investigators to intimidate Libertarian petitioners and petition signers, hoping to get us thrown off the ballot. Read about it.

We've spent a bunch of money on ballot access in states where the old parties put up ridiculous ballot hurdles (e.g. Kentucky, Illinois, New York). In fact, we've spent more than we had in the bank, because this fight is so important to our members. We're overextended for a good cause — putting Libertarian candidates on the ballot — but we can't keep this up without member support.

The old parties don't want competition on the ballot, and they work hard to eliminate it. In addition to the armed intimidators in Illinois, they've spent tens of thousands of dollars suing to kick our candidates off the ballot in Ohio. They're filing frivolous legal challenges against our candidates in New York.

They don't want voters finding out about a real Libertarian option. Too bad. We're going to keep bringing the fight to the establishment parties, and we're going to keep beating them in court.

But we can only do it with your support. You are the most important part of the Libertarian Party. I can't do it without you. I serve as the party's chairman at your direction. If you support real political action, putting boots on the ground to put Libertarian candidates on the ballot, we need your support now. What gets funded gets done. If members don't step up, we can't keep bringing the fight to the old parties.

We can't fight them if our candidates aren't on the ballot. Please donate now.

Yours in liberty,

Nicholas Sarwark
Chair, Libertarian National Committee

GW: Party, Politics and War

George Washington, father of our country, had a few good ideas

1) 99% of failures come from people who make excuses.

2) Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.

3) Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.

4) Some day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe.

5) My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.

6) The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.

7) A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactures as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military,supplies.

8) In politics as in philosophy, my tenets are few and simple. The leading one of which, and indeed that which embraces most others, is to be honest and just ourselves and to exact it from others, meddling as little as possible in their affairs where our own are not involved. If
this maxim was generally adopted, wars would cease and our swords would soon be converted into reap hooks and our harvests be more peaceful, abundant, and happy.

9) Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

10) Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a Freeman, contending for liberty on his own ground, is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.

11) If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.

12) However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

13) Paper money has had the effect in your state that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice.

14) Where are our Men of abilities? Why do they not come forth to save their Country?

15) The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually
incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

16) The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.

17) The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. 

18) The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. 

19) The Government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. 

20) The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.

21) No people can be bound to acknowledge the invisible hand which conducts
the affairs of men more than the people of the united States. 

22) Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation
seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.

23) All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. 

24) They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.

25) There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy.

26) No punishment, in my opinion, is to great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin.

27) The common and continual mischief's [sic] of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. 

28) Party serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion.

29) One of the expedients of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts.

30) No pecuniary consideration is more urgent, than the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt: on none can delay be more injurious,or an economy of time more valuable.

31) The hour is fast approaching, on which the Honor and Success of this army, and the safety of our bleeding Country depend. 

32) Remember officers and Soldiers, that you are free men, fighting for the blessings of Liberty -- that slavery will be your portion, and that of your posterity, if you do not acquit yourselves like men.
 
33) The nation which indulges toward another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to it animosity or two its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and it's interest.

34) LIBERTY, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.

35) Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports.


36) Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause.


37) Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest.

38) I'll die on my feet before I'll live on my knees!

39) I can truly say I had rather be at Mount Vernon than to be attended at the Seat of Government by the Officers of State and the Representatives of every Power in Europe.

40) Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.

Here's what We The People can do here now:

2014: It's time to donate and join us to elect Constitutional Independent Representatives not funded by special interests.
