1577 "This does not seem credible on first thought, but it is
nevertheless true that there are only nine who maintain the dictator, five or
six who keep the country in bondage to him.
Nine have always had access to his
ear, and have either gone to him of their own accord, or else have been
summoned, to be accomplices in cruelties, companions in pleasures, panders to
his lusts, and sharers in his plunders.
These manage the dictator so
successfully that he comes to be held accountable not only for his own misdeeds
but even for theirs.
The nine have nine hundred who profit under them,
and with the nine hundred they do what they need to accomplished for their
tyrant.
The nine hundred maintain under them
nine thousand, whom they
promote in rank, upon whom they confer the
government of provinces or the
direction of finances, in order that they may serve as
instruments of avarice and
cruelty, executing orders at
the proper time and working havoc that they could
not except under the shadow of the nine hundred, nor be
exempt from law and punishment except
through their influence." - Étienne de La Boétie,
Discourse of Voluntary Servitude
1904
Lincoln Steffens in The Shame of the Cities American democracy
failures stemmed from one source -
self-interested control of
government.
Lincoln Steffens characterized this as
a category of treason
because "the effect is to literally change
the form of government from one
representative of the people to
an oligarchy representative
of the special interests."
October 29, 1922
At age 39, Benito Mussolini became the youngest prime minister in Italian
history.
King Victor Emmanuel III, at the behest of aristocracy - a
group of industrialists, capitialists and agrarians - accepted Benito
Mussolini's fascism over the assumed
greater evils of a communist or socialist government that might
confiscate excessive war
profits, nationalize industry,
grant excessive power to
labor and force higher
wages.
Benito Mussolini's fascist State,
a marriage of entrenced
aristocracy and rising
industrial capitialist power, would provide
a model for Adolf Hitler
economic and political policies.
Benito Mussolini's fascism evolved into
a political and economic system that combined
totalitarianism,
nationalism,
anti-communism and
anti-liberalism into a State culture designed
to bind all classes
together under corporatism.
1932 A Spiritual View Of
Life
"Thus many of the practical expressions of Fascism such as
party organization, system of education, and discipline can only be understood
when considered in relation to
its general attitude toward
life.
A
spiritual attitude.
Fascism sees in the world not only those
superficial, material aspects in which man appears as an individual,
standing by himself,
narcissitic, subject to
natural law, which instinctively urges him toward a life of selfish
momentary pleasure; it sees not only the individual but the nation and the
country.
Individuals and
generations bound
together by a moral
law, with common traditions and
a mission which
suppressing the instinct for life
closed in a brief circle of
pleasure, builds up a higher
life, founded on
duty, a life free from
limitations in which the individual, by
self-sacrifice,
the renunciation of self-interest,
by death itself, can achieve that
purely spiritual
existence." -
The
Doctrine of Fascism, Benito Mussolini (1932)
"A successful fascist
movement takes as its own authoritarian forms of the objective
pressures previously overwhelming and humiliating
its members.
The
masses identify themselves so strongly with the fascist system they are
ready to undergo any
hardship, as proof of
virility." - Theodor
Adorno
"The New World Order
the Rockefellers are planning will be a
dictatorship.
Conservatives
will call it Socialism or
Communism.
Liberals will call it
Fascism. The label doesn't
matter.
Its Gulag Archipelago on
a worldwide basis." -
Gary Allen
"Klaus Theweleit in Male Fantasies, which draw on
the bitter alienation of demobilized
veterans in Germany following the end of
World War I, argues that
a militarized culture attacks all that is
culturally defined as the feminine, including
love,
gentleness,
compassion and
acceptance of
diversity.
The continued support for our
permanent war economy,
the continued eg● military
values as the highest good, sustains the perverted ethic,
rigid social roles and
emotional numbness. It is
a moral cancer.
Fascism,
Theweleit argued, is not so much a particular structuring of the economy, but
the creation of potent slogans and symbols that
form a kind of psychic economy which places
sexuality in the service of destruction.
The core of
all fascist
propaganda is a battle against
everything that constitutes enjoyment and pleasure, Theweleit wrote.
Our culture, while it
disdains fascism, embraces its ethic."
- Chris Hedges
404 BC Thirty Tyrants are a pro-Spartan
oligarchy installed in Athens after
defeat in the
Peloponnesian War.
The Thirty exile or
kill anyone who outwardly
opposed the regime.
Socrates remains in the Athens throughout this
period, which allowed the public to associate him with the Thirty and may have
contributed to his eventual death sentence, perhaps because Critias had been
his student.
Led by Critias, Thirty Tyrants preside over
a reign of
terror in which they execute,
murder, and exile
hundreds of Athenians, seizing property.
Critias has been described as "the first
Robespierre" due to his
inhumanity.
Both Isocrates and
Aristotle (the latter in the
Athenian Constitution) have reported that the Thirty executed 1500 people
without trial.
Socrates
begins his legal defence by telling the jury
their minds are
poisoned.
Socrates solves the Divine Paradox -
even the wisest men have blind
spots.
Socrates says his wisdom is in being aware he is
ignorant:
"I am
wiser than this man; it is
likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but
he thinks he knows something,
when he does not."
Socrates notes those
fearing death show ignorance
as they may never notice.
Socrates states
a lawful authority, either
human or
divine,
should be
obeyed.
Socrates holds up the mirror claiming the greatest good
occurs in Athens when a
citizen' moral concern is for
the eternal souls of his
fellow citizens.
Socrates askes for proof of an attempt to corrupt and
an accuser.
The irreverent self-defense speech angers
the jurors and invites punishment.
Socrates is sentenced to
death.
He prophesies death will cause
youngsters to
come forward and replace
him.
1930
Fascism sweeps Europe
In Spain,
Germany, and Italy
industrialists and aristocracy forge alliances with right-wing radicals and
charismatic leaders to win elections.
Fascists took over government
ministries running them for their own profit
pouring government money into corporate coffers, by
awarding lucrative contracts to
prosecute wars and
build
infrastructure with little
oversight.
"In autocratic regimes, the
holders of power become
increasingly tyrannical with
experience of the
delights that power can afford." - Bertrand Russell
Empire marketing pitch of
genocide - American,
Soviet,
Maoist and
Khmer Rouge are
based on the murder spree
myth organized by a
single madman.
Historians of tyranny have a mission to deliver
warnings from the past of the social
political conditions that brought these people to power.
If Rafael
Trujillo Molina, Jonas Savimbi,
Charles Taylor or Barack Obama
are presented as one dimensional psychopaths
with delusions of grandeur
there is no warning that a
culture has stumbled into the danger zone.
Nothing is learned about
the chain of events and the
systems of control used by
the ruling class to understand how
genocidal nightmares are
engineered.
"Tyranny can't be isolated to
just one person giving orders.
It is an entire society
consisting of bullies and the bullied." - Bill
Decker
Charmless
psychopaths never rise to power without
the backing of a culture
already steeped in cultural ponerology and
firmly set in spiritual
corruption.
The Corporate
State is concerned with individual welfare only when the promotion of
individual welfare coincides with
needs of the
State.
The Fascist
State charters corporations while
insuring corporate
profits through State decree,
deregulation,
bailouts,
subsidies and
tax relief.
"Anti-individualistic,
the
Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and
accepts the individual only in
so far as his interests coincide with those of the State." - Benito
Mussolini
January 21,
2010 The Supreme
Court decides in Citizens United
v. Federal Election Commission that corporations and unions
First Amendment protection of free
speech is violated if contributions are limited.
"If the First
Amendment has any force, it prohibits Congress from fining or
jailing citizens, or
associations of citizens,
for simply engaging in political
speech." - Justice Kennedy majority opinion
Citizens United
effectively is a coup de grâce to citizen participation in the
once viable liberal democratic
republic of the United States of America.
"Fascism is definitely and
absolutely opposed to the doctrines of
liberalism, both in the political and the economic sphere." - Benito
Mussolini
Fascism stress'
collective obedience
rather than focusing on
individual rights and
equality of opportunity.
Liberalistic ideology includes:
basic human rights;
true free market
economy;
limitations on the power of the
State;
extensive
freedom of thought and speech;
the right to question the authority
of the State;
rule of
law applied equally to
all segments of society;
free exchange of ideas,
concepts and
knowledge.
Elected fascist governments of Spain, Germany and Italy used
invocations of patriotism, the
threat of terrorist
attacks, the fear of permanent
war, and and homeland
security to privatize the commons,
tame the press,
muzzle criticism by
opponents, and turn
government over to corporate control.
Political leaders appeal to
fear,
hatred,
greed and
prejudices.
"It
is always a simple
matter to drag the people along, whether it is
a democracy,
a fascist dictatorship,
a parliament or
a communist dictatorship.
People can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders.
Tell them they are being
attacked, denounce
the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to
danger." - Hermann Goering
Communism is, by definition,
total government.
Socialism is defined as government ownership
and/or control over basic
means of production, distribution of goods and
services - total government.
If you have total
government does it matter what you call it?
Corporatism is defined
as corporate control
over the basic means of production and distribution of resources,
governance by corporation.
Alphabet agencies are incorportions:
ATF, BLM, CIA, DHS,
FBI,
FCC, FDA, NSA, NSC, OSS, SEC ...
"Our chief foe is
a swarm of locust like
human beings dedicated to "reforming" and
perpetuating corporatism, the very system that has led us to this woeful
state of environmental,
economic,
social, and
political affairs.
Corporatism,
the systemization of greed,
selfishness,
subjugation and
exploitation is
camouflaged by the
narcotic of consumerism.
The
illusion of equal
opportunity for all has seduced hundreds
of millions of people into ignoring its
contradictions,
injustices, and
malevolence.
Corporatism has inflicted
deep wounds upon the Earth.
It is a
persistent infection that must be
eradicated to avert the
sixth mass extinction, acceleration
of climate change,
further economic
collapse, mass
starvation, severe shortages of potable
water and perpetual resource
wars." - Jason Miller
Corporatism as a
share-the-wealth program is a
confidence game to get
the populace to surrender their freedom to a
collectivist corporate monopoly.
Sycophants, told they are
building a paradise, are
constructing a jail.
Americans, indoctrinated to
think corporatism is a share-the-wealth program, fail to note
it is a method to consolidate and
control wealth.
"It came as a severe
shock to learn that several of the greatest
American corporate leaders
were in league with Nazi corporations before and after
Pearl Harbor, including
IG Farben, the
colossal Nazi industrial trust.
Each of these business leaders was
entangled with the others
through interlocking directorates or financial sources.
All were
represented by National City
Bank or by Chase
National Bank and by the Nazi attorneys Gerhardt Westrick and Dr.
Heinrich Albert.
All had connections to that crucial Nazi economist,
Emil Puhl, of Hitler's Reichsbank and the Bank for International Settlements.
Several not only sought a continuing alliance of interests for the
duration of World War II but
supported the idea of a negotiated peace with Germany that would bar any
reorganization of Europe along liberal lines.
It would leave as its
residue a police state that
would place the tycoons in postwar
possession of financial, industrial, and political autonomy.
When
war was over, the survivors pushed into Germany, protected their assets,
restored Nazi friends to high office, helped provoke the
Cold War.
What would have happened if millions of American and
British people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas stations, had
learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New
Jersey managers shipped enemy fuel through neutral
Switzerland and that the
enemy was shipping Allied fuel?
Suppose the public had discovered that
the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing millions of
dollars' worth of business with the enemy with the full knowledge of the
head office in Manhattan?
Or
that Ford trucks were
being built for the German occupation troops in France with authorization from
Dearborn, Michigan?
Or that Colonel Sosthenes Behn,
the head of the international telephone amalgamation ITT, flew from New
York to Madrid to
Berne during the war to help improve Hitler's communications systems and
improve the automaton bombs that devastated London?
Or that ITT built the Focke-Wolfe that dropped
bombs on British and American troops?
Or that crucial ball bearings
were shipped to Nazi-associated customers in Latin America with the
collusion of
the vice-chairman of the US War Production Board in partnership with
Göring's cousin in Philadelphia when American
forces were desperately short of them?
Or that such arrangements were
known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?
Dubious financial transactions sanctioned before and after Pearl
Harbor.
A presidential edict, issued six days
after December 7, 1941, actually set up the
legislation whereby
licensing arrangements for trading with
the enemy could officially be granted.
During the years after Pearl
Harbor the government permitted such trading.
ITT was allowed to continue its relations with
the Axis and Japan until 1945.
No attempt was made to prevent
Ford from working with the
Germans in Occupied France, nor were
Chase Bank or Morgan Bank
forbidden from keeping open their branches in Occupied Paris." - Charles
Higham
"When fascism comes to America it will be
wrapped
in the flag and carrying the cross." - Sinclair Lewis
Fascism has been defined as
a system of government that exercises a
dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state
and business leadership together with
belligerent patriotic
nationalism.
"I don't care if Democratic presidential candidate John
Edwards is using fascist author Ann Coulter to raise money." -
Barry Simon
"The only reason that we are still in Iraq is to distract
voters from corrupt
politicians and their cronies looting the
treasury." - Steve Harrington
"Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld's comparison of our enemies in the
Middle East to fascist
countries of theory is an interesting stretch.
Fascist governments have
the following characteristics:
domination of all branches of government and the
economy;
control of
news via economic relationships and
threats of
retribution;
reliance on
military to promote
national unity and expand
global influence;
blind
obedience to the national leader, and dismissal of any international laws
unless they are temporarily
expedient." - Michael Roddy
"The federal government
spends half its tax dollars on military operations.
It is the
largest single sustained activity of the
federal government.
The
military-industrial establishment is a very lucrative business.
Massive profits are always
guaranteed." - Chris Hedges

c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance
☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices,

philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a
ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reason which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
pers∞nal relati∞n with the Æon through the pursuit of the knowλedge
of reaλity in the hope of curing the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n
that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the
Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the
author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to their religi☸us
beliefs in America is considered a "hate ˘rime."
This web site in no way
c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to
reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race.
The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the
w☸rld ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media
w☸rldwide, the global indus✈rial mili✈ary
en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the collapse of
morals, the eg● w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal
ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
with bi☣hazards at the point

American social mores and values have declined
precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through
c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal

πoπulation through prior c✡rp✡rate media psychological
