When fascism comes...
November 20, 2004—Senator Robert Byrd may not be a saint, but he is most definitely a prophet. When he said before the election that George W. Bush was "bent on a ruthless pursuit of power" that threatens to "destroy the Constitution," he was unquestionably speaking prophetically—Bush has stolen another presidential term.

For the benefit of media-programmed readers who, upon reading this, are immediately thinking "conspiracy theory," consider this fact: the idea that Bush "won" is just as much of an unproven "theory" as the idea he stole the election. Why? Because America, unlike other so-called "democracies," does not allow the public to observe exactly how the Republican-affiliated private companies that actually count democracy's most sacred treasure—the vote—count the votes. The vote accounting process is private corporate property—off limits to the public.

As Josef Stalin said, "It's not who votes that counts. It's who counts the votes."

This is the very essence of fascism.

Of course, we know that it's already here. This article is a week old, but I hadn't seen it. Just more evidence that we are not alone in a parallel universe. Some people under stand....

2. My dear Chimpanzee,
It's not necessary to wonder about when fascism comes. We now have our very own form of fascism right here at home. It arrived on our doorstep in January of 2000.

The coronation of King George ushered in a new era in American politics. Oh, we've flirted with Fascism a few times before, but never the complete surrender to it.

Check the 'Symptoms of Fascism' threads. We have lots of them in the archives. We fit all the characteristics.

5. Fascist george And His Cronies
Fascist George doesn't have many friends but the ones he does have are as rotten weasels like himself!!! He has that Haliburton Honcho aka Cheney who,in a speech in Hawaii(a week before the election),said "do you want another Pearl Harbor"? What about the Queen of Bu%@sh$t-Condoleeza Rice - who couldn't tell the truth to save her life during the "911 Hearings"? There is another cronie that know one talks about- Bush's Secret Pal- Sun Myung Moon!!!!!!!!! That is right! Sun Myung Moon,head Moony, was a BIG supporter of Bush ( and Bush Srs).-I would put in a link here but then the Fascist squad would be at my door in 5 minutes and who would feed my cats ...or kids-lol. See for yourselves and enter "Sun Myung Moon and george Bush " into your browser and do a search!!! You will find a few eye-openning articles!!! Fascism is alive and living in Washington D.C. ---and we thought we have democracy!!!!!

6. and King said "we'll take care of the counting"

King: "It's already over - the election's over. We won!"

Alexandra asks, "How do you know that?"

King: "It's all over but the counting. And we'll take care of the counting."

- Congressman Peter King, standing right next to Bush
