Birds of a Feather Flock, Thrive, Ravage, and Exploit, Together
July 19, 2015
It is highly amusing to see all the belligerent warmongers from both parties and the sycophantic mainstream media circle the wagons in their frantic effort to show solidarity with war criminal and traitor John McCain. Both John Kerry and McCain particularly need to stick together because they both have a lot of blood stained skeletons in their closets born in large part from their shared experiences serving in the Vietnam War and their egregious work together in the early 1990s on a Senate committee investigating the fate of prisoners of war and of those missing in action during the conflict. My father was a POW and I followed those efforts closely.
Read the authoritative article – John McCain: When “Tokyo Rose” Ran for President, by Ron Unz. It will leave you without doubt as to who the “real” geriatric sociopath John McCain is contrasted to the duplicitous phony he has masqueraded as for decades.
As for Donald Trump, read – Trumpism: The Ideology, by Jeffrey Tucker
This article conclusively reveals the dangerous narcissistic fascist he is and what he has in store for the United States if elected in 2016. Trump is motivated by a hubristic obsession for power, domination and control. Be weary of those hapless fools who see him a courageous “man on a white horse” who will fight the reigning establishment, save jobs, and restore prosperity and national greatness. These were the same claims of earlier fascist demagogues such as Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Peron, and Roosevelt.
In 1944 during World War II, the great conservative journalist John T. Flynn brilliantly observed:
“The test of fascism is not one’s rage against the Italian and German war lords. The test is — how many of the essential principles of fascism do you accept and to what extent are you prepared to apply those fascist ideas to American social and economic life? When you can put your finger on the men or the groups that urge for America the debt-supported state, the autarkical corporative state, the state bent on the socialization of investment and the bureaucratic government of industry and society, the establishment of the institution of militarism as the great glamorous public-works project of the nation and the institution of imperialism under which it proposes to regulate and rule the world and, along with this, proposes to alter the forms of our government to approach as closely as possible the unrestrained, absolute government — then you will know you have located the authentic fascist.
“But let us not deceive ourselves into thinking that we are dealing by this means with the problem of fascism. Fascism will come at the hands of perfectly authentic Americans, as violently against Hitler and Mussolini as the next one, but who are convinced that the present economic system is washed up and that the present political system in America has outlived its usefulness and who wish to commit this country to the rule of the bureaucratic state; interfering in the affairs of the states and cities; taking part in the management of industry and finance and agriculture; assuming the role of great national banker and investor, borrowing millions every year and spending them on all sorts of projects through which such a government can paralyze opposition and command public support; marshaling great armies and navies at crushing costs to support the industry of war and preparation for war which will become our greatest industry; and adding to all this the most romantic adventures in global planning, regeneration, and domination all to be done under the authority of a powerfully centralized government in which the executive will hold in effect all the powers with Congress reduced to the role of a debating society. There is your fascist. And the sooner America realizes this dreadful fact the sooner it will arm itself to make an end of American fascism masquerading under the guise of the champion of democracy.”
Trump, McCain, and Kerry all pass this fascist litmus test. They have absolutely no credibility or stature to speak on any public policy issue of merit, whether domestic or foreign.
