					<description><![CDATA[&quot;The real question is, what are freedom-loving American citizens going to do about it? &quot;

(I read that question as though someone was looking for a magic solution. There are no magic solutions to be had. Our system is functioning and is processing what we all see before our own unbelieving eyeballs. It&#039;s all there you are just not processing it properly because you are observing it in slow motion and that is out of phase with your everyday, I want to see justice now life. It&#039;s not unreasonable, but it&#039;s out of phase and since it is out of phase you are unable to in context properly interpret what you see)

The midterms approach and since the Democrats have so publicly and miserably failed and not been able to install the Federal &quot;Democrats win forever&quot; &quot;Voting Rights&quot; Act they will with almost certainly be eviscerated at the polls all across the country and will be left out of political power for the next 10 plus years. Maybe much more? And they deserve every ounce and inch of its measure, they have earned it.

And that is simply what our Constitutional system provides in dealing with such things. Nothing more, nothing less, this is our system, this is our process. The Constitution provides you with all the rope you need to hang yourself in the eyes of the public, and the Democrats have been revealed and now they will be judged.

Why has the Democrat party that is now without doubt controlled by the extreme radical Marxist / Leftists Constitution hating Socialists among them, big tech Left, and the big Globalist Left agenda, why have they become so allied?

Because in order to install their interpretation, and they are free to attempt to do so, of what the future should be the &quot;Old&quot; system that has provided every good thing in all their lives must now be destroyed. And that is simply where they are coming from, they know better because they are smarter, and they are good.  (And you the everyday American are not)

It&#039;s like a son who discounts and constantly confronts and questions his old and experienced father&#039;s more conservative and deliberate efforts at raising his son and he provides him with the proper structure to grow into a responsible adult. 

The Democrat party leadership has been infected with a young and very &quot;Smart&quot; Socialist / &quot;More better&quot; / Marxist / Leftist kind of &quot;Eddie Haskel&quot; element and they know better than all others and they are going to raze what was and replace it with their idealistic &quot;NEW&quot; and &quot;More Better&quot; New World order model. Which we all know that in the long term will only result in exactly the opposite of what they propose it will offer. Its a dark and highly managed future.

What does history tell us about &quot;NEW&quot; interpretations of the wise old Founders structure for America and personal freedom? Their brave new world will be filled with Social Credit systems, medical mandates from on high, travel restrictions, Fascistic government and Nazi like management of what would be the masses of what can only be classified as human cattle and guaranteed managed votes in the &quot;NEW&quot; &quot;Voting Rights Act&quot; &quot;DEMOCRACY&quot;.

No thanks Eddie.

					<description><![CDATA[BtB’s Original Mark:

Thank you for this beautiful, enlightening summary.

Yes, the new Marxists (communists), in contrast to the old communists, no longer want to socialize the means of production, but have harnessed capitalism for themselves in order to achieve their social goals, which according to the will of the neo-Marxists end in a social utopia that best described by Huxley&#039;s novel &quot;Brave New World&quot;. In my view, liberalism is playing into their hands.

When I mention the terms liberalism or liberal here, it has quite a different meaning in America and the rest of the world, which may confuse many blog readers here. If you ever have time, I&#039;d appreciate it if you could explain it from an American point of view. Thanks very much!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Questioner (Others on BtB can skip if allergic to Political Theory):

In my latest comment I did mention that there is an ‘American Marxism’ ideology that has best been described best by Mark Levin. Also in previous points, I have detailed the century of leftist Progressivist History that has sunk deep roots into America. I think you are right that the term ‘fascist’ is descriptively misleading.  So perhaps we call the current trends in America and Europe ‘Marxist Corporatism’.  I’ll define that as a collectivist political ideology and set of institutions which advocates the organization of society by national and transnational corporate and governmental elite groups centered on pivotal economic sectors (Tech, Media, Social Media, Finance, Transportation, Agricultural,etc.). Ever evolving Marxist thought is the animating ideology of Marxist Corporatism, and it results in the social domination by national and global oligarchies.

On a related topic, this American &#038; European Marxist Corporatism is a Civilizational threat to other world civilizations and to the more traditional nationalistic western societies such as Hungary &#038; Poland. The other main world civilizations in conflict with America/Europe are Russian Orthodox, Middle Kingdom Chinese, Ottoman Turks, Hindu India, Schizophrenic Islam, and fractured &#038; weak parts of Africa &#038; Latin America. 

Lastly, thank you Questioner for providing the links to Michael Millerman, and for asking interesting questions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BtB’s Original Mark.

Your comments on Covid are good! However, ....

I am of the opinion that the term &quot;fascist&quot; is used incorrectly by many here, also by the owner of the blog. What is actually meant is communist. That both are totalitarian mass ideologies does not automatically make them the same. The fact that both use similar means of repressing the political opponent does not make them the same. On the contrary, fascism was communism&#039;s greatest enemy, almost eliminating it. 

Both political ideologies (communism versus fascism) are fundamentally different, even if (classical) liberals want to convince us otherwise. For the communists, the equality of people is in the foreground, for the fascists, the hierarchy and the differences between people. In the light of day, Western liberalism has more in common with communism than fascism with communism. That is why liberalism is so vulnerable to communist infiltration, a process we are currently witnessing in the West.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Beverly (&#038; Robert Zimmerman):

In my opinion, with the Omicron variant forcing ‘reality’ to interrupt leftist unreality, the populist forces in the West may be able to rollback some of the leftist institutionalization of medical tyranny.  

There are very hopeful signs coming from the UK and a few other countries. Here is my Quote of the week regarding the substantially diminished UK COVID restrictions: “We will trust the judgement of the British people&quot; PM Boris Johnson proclaimed in Parliament a few days ago.  In the U.S. the medical authoritarian have recently had to make many concessions to reality. Here is a list from Ben Shapiro:
1. Cloth masks are ineffective against omicron (Leanna Wen, CNN);
2. The vaccinated can spread and get covid;
3. The death rate is comparable to the flu (Chris Hayes);
4. Many people are entering hospitals with covid, not from covid (Fauci);
5. Natural immunity is a reason omicron hasn’t been as virulent (Fauci);
6. We have to take into account societal needs, not just spread prevention (CDC);
7. The asymptomatic should not be tested (NFL);
8. We should focus on hospitalizations and deaths, not case rate (Biden);
9. Children are not at risk and schools should remain open;
10. Covid is predominantly an illness affecting the immunocompromised and elderly and we should not shut down society.
Even among non-political sports fans, many are experiencing visceral disgust over Australia insanely deporting Novak Djokovic (#1 Tennis Player in the world).  Similarly many think the various Sports leagues have been wrong to ban or punish high profile unvaccinated players like the NFLs Aaron Rogers or NBAs Kyrie Irving.

The above now apparent ‘realities’ have exposed the bureaucrats who’ve spent the last 3 years building ’empires of fear’ to a widespread political backlash. Omicron hopefully is the inevitable 
viral evolution from a pandemic to an endemic disease.

So now the next question is how deep is the ‘mass formation psychosis’ of 25 to 35% of our population, and to what extend can they be deprogrammed out of accepting &#038; promoting medical tyranny? 

Then a further question is how much political &#038; cultural power can the forces of populism muster to stage a ‘Rollback’ of the authoritarian Progressive state? I think Daniel Horowitz writes informatively on this subject of rolling back medical tyranny.  He has written “2022 must be the Great Restoration for the ordinary citizens to launch a counterattack against the assault on our way of life. The counterattack begins in the state legislatures.”

I also think we’ll learn a lot from how State Governments can regain control of their voting processes especially in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.  On this I am  pessimistic as evidenced by my many previous comments on the subject. So I agree with Bob Zimmerman that “We now are somewhere between war and defeat”.  

As noted above, Mr. Z. has  “been writing about the fascist and bigoted nature of the left now for more than a decade.”  Bob has highlighted leftist bigotry, hate, and intolerance, and I agree with his conclusions from his 2018 essay (Linked to in his comments above).

So we should assume that Zimmerman’s prescriptions for our current Authoritarianism will go beyond simply that “The lovers of liberty need to stiffen their spines, and push forward with resolution and defiance in order to win”. 
I look forward to his future writing on the subject. 

In my opinion there is a deeply ingrained structure of elites that will fight fiercely for continued power and control. For that argument I recommend Angelo Codevilla’s book ‘The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About It’. 
And elsewhere on this site, I have argued that American elites have merged with European elites and are firmly established in global economic, financial, and globalized governmental &#038; NGO Organizations. 
Once you have a handle on the American Oligarchy, you need to marry that to a history of Marxism in America. An excellent book on that is Mark Levin’s “American Marxism. Levin examines how the core elements of Marxist ideology have pervaded American society and culture, including in schools, the media, corporations, the entertainment industry, and the Democratic Party. Levin has a solid grasp on the philosophical and historical basis of the rise of Marxist ideology in the United States. 
Finally I recommend Glenn Beck’s best selling new book, &#039;The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism&#039;.  Glenn Beck first exposed the Great Reset almost 2 years ago by uncovering the true intentions of global leaders in finance and politics by simply highlighting their own words.  The publisher of the book characterized “The Great Reset” as “a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to ‘reset’ the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics. If they are successful and the Great Reset is finalized, it would put substantially more economic and social power in the hands of large corporations, international institutions, banks, and government officials, including Joe Biden, the United Nations, and many of the members of the World Economic Forum”.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beverly (&amp; Robert Zimmerman):</p>
<p>In my opinion, with the Omicron variant forcing ‘reality’ to interrupt leftist unreality, the populist forces in the West may be able to rollback some of the leftist institutionalization of medical tyranny.  </p>
<p>There are very hopeful signs coming from the UK and a few other countries. Here is my Quote of the week regarding the substantially diminished UK COVID restrictions: “We will trust the judgement of the British people&#8221; PM Boris Johnson proclaimed in Parliament a few days ago.  In the U.S. the medical authoritarian have recently had to make many concessions to reality. Here is a list from Ben Shapiro:<br />
1. Cloth masks are ineffective against omicron (Leanna Wen, CNN);<br />
2. The vaccinated can spread and get covid;<br />
3. The death rate is comparable to the flu (Chris Hayes);<br />
4. Many people are entering hospitals with covid, not from covid (Fauci);<br />
5. Natural immunity is a reason omicron hasn’t been as virulent (Fauci);<br />
6. We have to take into account societal needs, not just spread prevention (CDC);<br />
7. The asymptomatic should not be tested (NFL);<br />
8. We should focus on hospitalizations and deaths, not case rate (Biden);<br />
9. Children are not at risk and schools should remain open;<br />
10. Covid is predominantly an illness affecting the immunocompromised and elderly and we should not shut down society.<br />

I also wish draw your attention to my conclusions this essay &lt;a href=&quot;https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/essays-and-commentaries/if-you-have-wrongthink-you-will-not-be-allowed/&quot;&gt;in 2018,&lt;/a&gt; after another long description of numerous examples of leftist bigotry, hate, and intolerance:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The problem however is not really the behavior of these oppressive leftists. The real problem is with the inability of Americans, both on the left and the right, to come to grips with this hateful subculture and its intolerant ways. People simply do not wish to believe that this subculture really and sincerely plans to do harm to its political opponents. They continue to view them as nothing more than another political movement expressing its opinions. Few are willing to admit that should these people take power, they truly plan to wield that power aggressively, and they will very likely follow the path of the leftists in Venezuela, who once they gained power quickly moved to suspend the rule of law so that they could rule unopposed.

Worse, these leftist fascists are not very far from obtaining such power, since in the past two years it appears that this violent subculture has wholly captured the Democratic Party. While a decade ago that political party might have held back, fearful of a backlash should it take such radical positions, since Donald Trump’s election they have dropped their mask and have become as intolerant of opposition as the worst campus leftist bully. Kamala Harris is not an exception, she is now the rule.

Even more terrifying, that radical Democratic Party continues to get votes. It is not alone in its increasingly radical beliefs. There is now a significant percentage of the American populace that celebrates the very fantasies expressed by Kamala Harris. You only have to watch the video of Harris making this “joke” and listen to the audience cheering and clapping to realize that many people today are quite willing to entertain such ideas.

This mob is smelling blood, and it wants it badly.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This week&#039;s essay was simply another attempt at making Americans aware. Sadly, I still think the general public is, as Rick says in Casablanca, asleep.

Beverly: It appears either I was not clear, or many are misunderstanding my essay. I have been writing about  the fascist and bigoted nature of the left now for more than a decade. See for example &lt;a href=&quot;https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/new-research-has-now-documented-the-widespread-bigotry-of-liberals-in-the-academic-community-against-conservatives/&quot;&gt;this early post from 2012&lt;/a&gt;. In 2017 I did a regular column, &quot;This week in fascist academia,&quot; which I summarized in &lt;a href=&quot;https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/essays-and-commentaries/leftist-fascism-at-the-start-of-2018/&quot;&gt;this essay&lt;/a&gt; at the start of 2018.

I have railed for years about the intolerant and tyrannical left, but have been endlessly frustrated by the numbers of people who refuse to recognize it. Even worse have been the large numbers of conservatives who simply refuse to come to grips with the seriousness of the problem, as well as the growing strength of this fascist movement.

My essay was another attempt to get people to wake up. You see, you might know it, I might know it, but we both know that most ordinary Americans have for years refused to believe it. The data I presented was another try at making &lt;em&gt;them&lt;/em&gt; know it.

If that try made me look naive, oh well. That appearance of naivety by me might actually work to convince the doubtful. They might not see me as some ideology ranting at them that they can easily dismiss.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The real question is, what are freedom-loving American citizens going to do about it? If they manage to fasten the medical manacles around our hands with this so-called injection pass if I may use a euphemism oh, it is game over. They will have successfully instituted a Chinese Communist style social credit system where every single activity you do in your life can be suspended by the dictatorship if you cross them in any way.

					<description><![CDATA[Mr. Zimmerman I really appreciate your blog and your thoughts, but I find it rather amazing that you&#039;re only now realizing the fascist nature of our opponents. I figured it out after September 11th 2001. Living in New York I heard so-called liberals say... with an ugly look on their face ...that they thought those people deserved to be burned alive and I realized it was because they hate Americans, and they hate Americans because we are free. And they are all about slavery of every kind. Slavery of the Mind, slavery of the body, slavery of the Soul. With themselves as the slave masters.

I had voted for the Democrats for several years at that point and I even had marched in Washington because I had believed the lies the media told about the Republicans stealing the election that year. But I realized when I went to Washington that my fellow Democrats were stomping around the mall not because the electoral process of our nation had been sullied, but because they were Furious that their drive to power had been thwarted. And that was a shock to me at the time, and followed up by the inside after 9/11, I was done.

My parents had inoculated me against communism because they were Goldwater Republicans and patriotic Americans. So I never was a leftist, but I bought the lies that they cared about conservation and women&#039;s rights. Boy howdy, they really care about women&#039;s rights So much that the minute the Muslims attacked America and burned thousands of us alive, they immediately made Islam their new sacred cow. Women&#039;s rights went right out the window with shocking speed -- and again I realized that their governing principle was anything that hurts America and cuts against Christianity in particular, they were all in favor of. 

Kind of like waking up after a long night of drinking and realizing you have been in bed with an orc! You can&#039;t get outta there fast enough....]]></description>

So I never was a leftist, but I bought the lies that they cared about conservation and women&#8217;s rights. Boy howdy, they really care about women&#8217;s rights So much that the minute the Muslims attacked America and burned thousands of us alive, they immediately made Islam their new sacred cow. Women&#8217;s rights went right out the window with shocking speed &#8212; and again I realized that their governing principle was anything that hurts America and cuts against Christianity in particular, they were all in favor of. </p>
<p>Kind of like waking up after a long night of drinking and realizing you have been in bed with an orc! You can&#8217;t get outta there fast enough&#8230;.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m going to drop this in here
--&#062;January 20, 1942:
&quot;Nazi officials met to determine the manner in which the so-called &quot;Final Solution to the Jewish Question&quot; can be best implemented.&quot; 


&quot;Die Wannseekonferenz&quot; [The Wannsee Conference]
Lionheart Filmworks 1984
[German with English subtitles]
https://youtu.be/4YAjKUdT3JE
1:26:10

&quot;The script is derived from the minutes of the meeting and statements from Eichmann&#039;s trial. It covers the entirety of the 85-minute meeting.  Since no verbatim transcription of the meeting exists, the dialogue is necessarily fictionalized. --&#062;The main theme of the film is the twisted, emotion-less bureaucratic nature of the genocide.&quot;]]></description>

Before you tackle the 15 hours of Rothbard to which I linked above, here is a very concise &#038; compact bit of history you will definitely find interesting.
Note the &quot;third party system&quot; from 1854-1896, and (importantly) the &quot;fourth party system&quot; from 1896-1932, which Rothbard characterizes as the &#039;open door for progressivism.&#039;
