Fascism For Freedom

My own feeling is that Nixon really is a turning point where fascism  
becomes the international face of America, That he was so immersed in  
corporate power, military power and the power of ultra nationalist  
scapegoatism  that there was no inner debate( If the president  
does,it it's legal), no possibility of the serious self doubt you can  
see in other presidents. He had  participated in the internalizing ,  
and externalizing (in a patriotic anti-communist cult of politics)  
hypocrisy  in the form of American exceptionalism to the point that  
no amount of killing or betrayal of democratic principles was  
problematic. This he paired with a willingness to compromise in any  
area where he saw a real populist threat. He was smarter and more  
effective than Hitler in extending his nations imperial power and the  
power of the executive branch, the rise of Milton Friedman to  
economic demigod.
Nixon set the agenda for the Reagan Bush Clinton  years. Use money  
and threats whenever possible and keep the 3rd world "niggers" down,  
the concentration camps at the ready.

What is the connection between the Golden Fang and Nixon Bucks?

Freedom is owning a yacht that never gets old, never gets stains, can  
never be found guilty of a crime.   Freedom is drilling where you  
want, when you want, as much as you want because you own  the mineral  
rights to other people's lives. Freedom is printing your own money ,  
importing your own painkillers at a profit, trading cardboard for  
Malibu Mansions. Freedom is finding out anything about anyone  
anytime.  Freedom is having the Fraternal Order of Police on your  
side when you need things to have a Fiendish Oriental Provenance.  
Freedom is when your victims internalize the desire to be eaten.  
Freedom is the ability to fuck who you want when you want and still  
be faithfully married,  a virgin with a full set of sexy ties.  
Freedom is an amazing collection of barbed-wire to impress your  
friends and neighbors.  It may look like fascism to some , but if  
it's fascism for freedom ,  you better start digging.... it.


And just to update to the present hour,  freedom  with a small f   
will come when all  men in every uniform all say  when they are  
commanded by the local commander in chief to  kill a poor man , a  
black girl, or a smartass Jew, Fuck You! and Fuck your dog too!
