Having been all over the philosophical and political spectrum, Master So So no longer grasps at intransient things, but will gladly speak to you in the language of the philosophy which you understand.

Fascism - alive and kicking (or are those death rattles?)

"Consider the pernicious myth that the United States “defeated” fascism in Europe in WWII. This lie persists despite the fact that a number of our very own uber-Capitalists did business with the Nazi regime until the 1942 Trading with the Enemy Act finally forbade it. Ironically, Prescott Bush, GW’s grandfather, was amongst those profiting from Hitler’s rise to power."

The BBC has an interesting audio report on what is called "the businessman's plot" - a conspiracy of wealthy businessmen in Ameria during Roosevelt's presidency, who apparently sought to turn America into a fascist nation.

The 29-minute audio report can be found here:

A writer is a rogue goose. All other gees fly in a flock formation; every goose knows his place and time for honking. The rogue goose is undisciplined. He leaves the formation indiscriminately to have a look at it from aside. He roams back and forth, takes a peep at the leader, honks a little bit from behind, distracts everyone and writes on what he sees. Time passes and as he wants to return back to his place he discovers someone else there. Thus he either has to wait until they land for rest...

There are good things and

..not that good things in this article.  Of course, Marxism as a tool is excellent and it perfectly explains the  way capitalism functions. Everything, actually.  It is, of course, totally hopeless when regarding the  projections for the future. In fact, no one can predict the future and even the most  optimistic liberatarians would not dare  to say the Gene Roddenberry was not right: he predicted a horrible war and only the subsequent warp drive and Vulcans  pulled us back to civilization. 

Well, without  the Vulcans we have to refer to HL Menchken who said, ' The problem with Christianity is Christians and the problem with Communism is Communists' . BTW, you can call a person a Communist, that would be an idelogical belief but there is no such thing as Capitalist;   there is no Capitalist ideology.

But I digress.  As a person who lived in both worlds I have to  state promptly and  unequivocally that they have one common denominator- they both  make people miserable  if gone wrong.  And  that is what they both have done- gone wrong.  The unfortunate thing also is that no one can tell what does it mean to go  right- there is no  example.  Switzerland- a shining beacon of capitalistic democracy  is now the  ' center of  European boredom' and  everyone wants not to live there but have their passport. Sweden and Finlanda are full of ' Friends of Bill W' if you know what I mean.  And maybe Dutch are happy with  legitimized drugs but Amsterdam   had become a cloaka of Europe.

I am happy that Jason properly recognizes the role of Russian people  in the  victory in WWII. But I can also assure Jason that 20 million people dead ( actually officially 27 million) was not just a horrible blow to Russia but also an abomination: it should not have happened.  It happened because of  the  grimaces of  the  power- mongering, because   of the  situation when the power- grabbers in that country realised that they were not supposed to govern it, that they were impostors. Then they undermined that great country, worked against it, destroyed its best and   even perished themselves  in a vortex of terror.  Yes, WWII did happen because the Western powers were pushing  Germany against Russia. But if only  the powermongers in Russia had not been so  obscessed with power for themselves  they could prevent even Hitler's rise to power by not undermining and destroying the social democracy  movement in Germany and other places and   by helping the good people. Sounds familiar?  The power- mongering is the same feature here and there. It is the same in China, Russia, US and Britain. Lust for power, lust for fear, lust for superiority are uniiversal no matter what uniform  we see.  Bush could fit as a Communist Party boss easy. Brezhnev and Reagan are like twins, really. They are the same.

We have to remember that  philosophers  do not really see people. Marx never really worked for living. Neither did  Engels (he owned  a factory).  None of the neocons actually work for living and neither does Bush. Surely not Cheney.  Honest work for honest pay is not their cup of tea.  Neither it is Putin's. That's where they all are soulmates. Bush  was not joking. They are.

We are already Dead

The decision to immolate humanity was made in 1946, when it was understood that to go ahead with a full scale nuclear build up would inevitably  lead to  the total destruction of humanity.

We exist only due to the intervention into our world by the "ET."

We are the Living Dead.

Russia and America are "Twins," conjoined at the head.

A fleet of Extraterrestrial spacecraft visited England the other evening. Hopefully they continue to keep Bush and Cheney from starting WWIII. That is the only reason we exist.  As to a full blown nuclear war, "ET" has put his foot down and just said "NO."

To read the page and see the video, remove all of the ((( and the ))) and put the link back together. This page has limits to link size. This  is an interesting video of many Extraterrestrial spacecraft, in open view for all to see.

Time to bid our Master class; Farewell.
