If you haven't yet
heard of this Orwellian absurdity, here are the basics:
First, we must define our terms. For example, someone having a
short temper, or exercising bad judgment, even repeatedly, is not
necessarily a fascist pig. No, a cop's level of "fascismo," if you
will, must be measured by something other than just being stupid or
even malicious. To truly be a fascist, a cop must demonstrate that
he has the fascist mindset. So let's define what that is.
A NON-fascist cop, when he looks out at the world, would see lots
of good people, whom he would want to protect, and would never want
to harm, intimidate, or even inconvenience unnecessarily. His goal
would be to find the nasty people in the world, and see to it that
they are prevented from harming any of the decent people.
A FASCIST cop,, on the other hand, would view everyone as his
inferior, to be controlled, interrogated, or even abused at will.
He sees himself, a representative of "authority," as having the
right to forcibly impose his will on anyone he wants, whenever he
wants, for any reason (or no reason) and the right to use outright
violence against any who do not obey his every whim.
So, in this message and the ones to follow, we will examine
examples of police conduct in this country, and rate the level of "fascismo" demonstrated by American "law enforcement." What we
won't bother looking at are things like a car chase which ends with
a cop with too much adrenaline in his blood, or a cop shooting
someone with somewhat questionable justification. No, we are
looking for ATTITUDE.
The goal is to determine if American cops
today think like defenders of justice, and keepers of the peace, life, liberty and freedom, or like fascist pigs.
The largely discretionary federal prisons had
always been a less than 10% share of total prison population, but the 2009 federal prison numbers are
very close to the total number of prisoners in all systems in 1972." ~~Testimony of Franklin E. Zimring before the U.S. Sentencing Commission
(regional hearings) May 28, 2009
For the last four days, I've been off in the middle of nowhere,
with no electricity, no phone (and no internet), and no running
water--just woods, bear, moose, and various other cool things.
That's the kind of vacation I like, which is fortunate, because at
the moment it's also the only kind I can afford.
For a few days it was almost possible for me to forget about the
horrendous collectivist police state taking over this country by
leaps and bounds. Driving through New Jersey, however, I was keenly
aware of how many fascist pigs infest that place. And if you find
such terminology too harsh, feel free to read the series of messages entitled "Cops: Public Servants or Fascist Pigs?"
If you need another
example of the New Jersey Nazis in action, here's one that just
happened:
For several years now, the fascist, police-state mentality has been
attributed by many to the Republican party, with the Democrats
posing as the bold defenders of justice, the Constitution and
individual rights. And for some strange reason, lots of people
believed that lie. (Whichever gang of crooks ISN'T in power will
dishonestly play the part of freedom advocate.) Well, it hasn't
taken long for Obama--the Democrats' anointed lord and savior--to
show himself to be a pro-torture, war-mongering fascist national
socialist, just like his predecessor. Here is one small taste:
But whether we're talking about one Nazi pig on a power trip in New
Jersey, or a national (if not worldwide) agenda by His Royal
Highness, King Obama, the real problem can be shown in the
REACTIONS from the general public, including all the people who do
NOT like what's going on. What do people suggest, when such
thuggery and totalitarianism appears?
"We need an investigation into this misconduct..." "Call your congressman and demand..." "Support legislation to..." "Vote for someone who will..."
And what do all such reactions have in common? Well, for one thing,
they are guaranteed to fail utterly and completely. Why? Because
they rely upon asking the tyrants to "police" themselves," and
begging megalomaniacs to give us their permission to be free. When
has that ever worked?
