Michael Butler: Fascism, A Cause for Concern
So many of my friends simply zone out these days. The news is so bad. Everyday some new atrocity is reported frequently from a new area. Fear has become the dominating mantra of our government which is following the clarion call of the “war on terrorâ€.
We recognize that Osama bin Laden’s group have with a small investment succeeded in creating a vast disruption of our lives, treasure and society. Their act on 9/11 has allowed sweeping changes to our feelings of security.
One has to suppose that the politicians espousing this fear are acting in good faith for our protection. In pursuit of security honored tenets of freedom are being infringed upon to an extent never done before.
There is a sinister aspect to many current movements by the current administration, fascism. I propose it worth your while to read some recent short articles about Fascism. Fascism

Yes I do believe that man/women are hard wired to submission to authoritarins, and the culture brainwashes us to their perspective.
Conversly, it is also the nature of man to be in rebellion/non-submission to authority.
If dictatorship &/or Fascism is “good” or
“evil” for us, then the million dollar question is why do we follow or support evil and call it good & call good, evil?; and willingly submit to such deception?
I believe that God has a benevolent dictatorship program, a “good” fascism plan, that has been given to us in Torah (Old Scriptures) & New Scriptures, with Yeshua (Jesus) doing away with the capital death penality and a higher calling to,forgive, to LOVE & do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Hate evil, condem the sin, but LOVE the sinner.
How do I, do good to someone who intends to murder me, rape my family, and such….and not take away that persons freedom & constitunial rights, to do so and do it without killing them?
The challenge for me is; that if I am under the control of money or what another person will/can do for, to or aginst me; rather than what Gods benevolent dictatorship requires (”good facism”), then I am but a puppet to people, posessions, & worldly authoritians…(”evil facism”, who are often are doing good but in great error, either for hidden adjendas, or they too are deceived as to interpertation & translation of Gods directives).
The challenge is to be able to correctly interpret, understand and be surrendered to Gods dictatorship & authoritians ways, rather than my flesh/ego self centered survival instincts.
I really don’t think this is going to happen on a world wide or county wide, or state wide, or cumminity wide… until we do ourselves in with wars and such and this benevolent dictator arives.
In the mean time, as an individual, I must be surrendered to finding out, asking God; What is Gods directives, submission & surrender to his authority and plan; fight “evil” (without sheding blood) fascism, politically and in my own heart and sole.
Forgive me for when I am in error and didn’t understand correctly THE benevolent dictators directives & Godly facism.
I think we should not be Democrats or Republicans at this time… as both are “evil” facism systems at this point, hiding behid a vail of “good”.

We don’t have the time to rehash everything out again. We know the truths. We’ve gone through them ALL, together.
Are you guys watching Spike Lee’s commentary about Katrina?
Why did the American-Blacks feel as though they are back in the ’slave days’? Their families are systematically being torn apart-not by mistake…intentionally by this Administration!
Why does this administration have those acres of barbed wire concentration camps set up throughout America today? Who will go there? Terroists? F—king not so…it’s for the people who speak, march, protest against the Bush Crime Family.
This is further proof to me and many other millions of Americans who so nobly get the picture and are willing to SAVE AMERCIA!
Evil-yes this administration is. Absolutely, demonic. Don’t mince words here-cut to the chase.
Facism? Of course…Next!
Hateful bunch? You bet!
What are they after in Irag? Don’t they intend to leave-The largest American embassy built in Iraq, larger than the Vatican…come on, what else is this for? The plan is to stay!! For as long as God gives you breath and when you die the next generation of Programmed idiots will recite the GOP mantra!
Democrats are weak on WAR. GOP is your only savior. Believe it! You have then lost your way, completely.
Illegal War in Irag? Of course! Next!
Iraq wants us out? You bet!!
Generals’ on the ground say we have lost! You bet!! No plan to fight…Hey what about Afganistan…out of control? You bet! Osama Ben Laden…here we go. How about this…we made a pact with these guys to fly the planes into American citizens…have you heard the tapes and the War games on that day? Planned wasn’t it! 9/11 commission - can’t gey any of their sugestions implemented…Why not? Whose holding them back…Wakeup, it the Bush Crime Family!!
Did (we) the Administration have anything at all to do with the recent London foiled plot? Of course not!
So, you tell me when you are ready to get shot or go to the concentration camp-hit the streets for Peace? You bet and when the s—t hits the fan, which it is now in full swing (wait till the pre-elections), the streets will be bloody with yours and my brothers and sisters.
Only and only if (WE) are willing to commit our lives for the sake of the generations which have an American right to know, will WE WIN this election. Even if the computers are programmed to favor the GOP, we will still win. Commitment? You bet!
ALL of us must do like never before, do it with all our might. This is it! Make no bones about it…This is the day that balances Peace. It is the opposite of Peace, complete destruction, absolute destruction of our society, laws, and our American heritage.
Will we believe what is out there or do we favor complacency? You bet! They do! Not me! No not me at all. I am the Patriot, the American, the Veteran, The One Who LOves My Land; America The Beautiful!
Get It Done…See you in a twinkling of an eye.
Love, Peace, and Compassion;

What have you done for your country lately? (JFK called and he wants to know)
Hey, Facism caught on because some folks in Europe thought it was a good idea for them personally — a great way to line their pockets and eliminate people they did not like. We know that Facism is frail and based on greed and hate.
And way back in the day, Communism seemed to like a brillant solution to starvation and class disparity. So many intellectuals (even in the United States) thought so, at least in the beginning — when Communism was just a pretty idea.
Whoops! It sure failed miserably. Some folks behind the Iron Curtain seemingly strayed far from the intent of the theory. Greed and hate stepped in.
But of course we know that Facism and Communism did not work, causing mass misery, fear, destruction and death.
Hey, Guess what???? Our Ugly-American Democracy is also the cause of death, destruction, misery and fear throughout the world. I don’t believe the intent of our founding fathers was rooted in hatred and greed. Do you? Wouldn’t you love to chat with Tom Jefferson and Ben Franklin about their motivation in helping to create this once-great and mighty nation?
It’s a real and frightening fact that Americans are perceived in the world as fat, greedy, hateful, un-spritual war-mongers. Someone needs to convince the Bush gang and many other of our “leaders” that Democracy is very likely going to end up like Facism and Communism — flat on its ass.
Democracy is not working in Iraq, nor did it help the folks in New Orleans. I fear Democracy’s ideology will someday be just a history lesson for our grandchildren in the chapter about the failures of Facism and Communism.
