POPSLeft in Dark Times, Bernard-Henri Lévy Maybe the most important book of our time! I think I will move this to the top of my list MORE: The neoprogressives believe "liberalism is the source all the planet's evils," Lévy writes (p. 90), so they must declare innocent those Third World despots who "meddle with their citizens and treat them like cattle," because in the neoprogressive dogma "the System, and the System alone, bears full responsibility." They reject that the great revolutions, including the British and the American, were explicitly liberal, and used liberal thought in their struggle against absolutism (p. 92). The liberal market-based republics can more easily be portrayed as Evil, when liberty, which might be thought their finest aspect, disappears from view.

POPSThe definition of fascio It cannot be stated too many times that Mussolini himself recognized the ideas and writings of Woodrow Wilson in support of his ideology. Everyone should read Wilson's writings and speeches about why he is a Progressive. It is startling. We have seen under GW Bush and now at hyper-speed under Obama the rise of Wilsonian Progressivism, which is fascism. People often make the mistake of assuming the hate of Hitler and the brutality of Mussolini and other fascists is the definitive nature of Fascism. They are not. As highlighted in this clip, fascism has a specific meaning. This is where we are today. America was fascist-light under Woodrow Wilson. We are heading that way again. More power to the Fed, General Electric, liberty being evaporated by government/corporate paradigms such as energy, general electric, healthcare, auto industry, the integration of compulsory service and more to come.

POPSThe Trouble With Socialism
Liberals can never say exactly what they want because it’s scary. That’s why they don’t work on talk radio. If they say what they’re goals are unfiltered, it even scares themselves. Look at college campuses; if liberals were unrestrained, is there any doubt their final goal would be socialism and fascism? They inch into any control they can have about our finances and behavior and clamp down on it like wolverines never letting go, but they never talk about their ultimate goals except in the vaguest terms (”Change and happiness!”) because they’re well aware of how much it would freak people out. They want socialism and government control, but they just don’t want to state it that way. Conservative ideals can be stated frankly, though, and not send people running. It can be a little scary - freedom and responsibility is scary - but it’s an argument people will accept. We need to state frankly what our goals are. Lay out a real vision for the future to inspire people.

POPSI WANT EVERYONE TO REMEMBER WHY THEY NEED US! Dear Osama Bin Laden: America has turned it's back on us Republicans since Bush 1.1's regime. Could you attack again and remind them why they need us. Absent an atmosphere of fear and suspicion, they don't seem to think much of us. Mr. Bin Laden, please attack. We miss being in power. Sincerely, Michael Scheuer

POPSPolitical Posturing on Iran, via Masbury @ Clipmarks One of the most definitive moments in recent history and all the political hacks of the Left can do is play defensive on Obama’s ignorant stance. Is it true that overt American involvement could have negative results? Yes, that is true. It does not mean, do nothing. The experts say there is much we can do. The policies over the past 8 years are bearing fruit. We are witnessing the demise of the fascist status quo. Yet those who encourage fascism in our own culture aren’t the least bit bothered by the fascism in others. If we miss the opportunity to let the Iranians know that we support them, then we may not have the opportunity for generations. It is BEYOND disgusting to take this issue and tell the world and world leaders, ’shut the hell up”.Our reticence could result in a massacre of the Iranian people.

POPS“Neda,” The Farsi Word for Voice And The Call For Freedom 
I felt haunted by this face all day since I saw the video (below). I knew I was not alone. I felt this could be the incident that broke the camel’s back and unleashed the Iranians. The Supreme Leader said their would be violent consequences for protesting. He is about to learn that there are also consequences for killing a young woman - and they will be violent as well. When you look at this brave human being, her life blood poring from her beautiful young face, the life in the blood itself still fresh it has yet to turn dark, her face still flushed with the last breath of life - though you can tell her spirit has moved on - you feel the need to do something. This act of cold brutality must be avenged. Humanity cannot go down this path, where the bodies of our young litter the way for old, viscous men to hold onto power. The face of Neda could very well be the tipping point for many clerics, government leaders and military leaders.

POPSThe Wellsian Idea "He followed up with numerous other works promoting his ideas including a book published in 1940 entitled The New World Order where he states that global socialism is inevitable and that there would be a tumultuous transition period as it approached; quote: “… when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people … will hate the new world order … and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.” " H. G. Wells " “The New World Order” published (1940)

POPS"No priest, no evil one/Can keep us/From feeling like Hitler’s children." "Clergy were put on government salary, hence subjected to state authority. “The parsons will be made to dig their own graves,” Hitler cackled. “They will betray their God to us. They will betray anything for the sake of their miserable little jobs and incomes.” Following the Jacobin example, the Nazis replaced the traditional Christian calendar. The new year began on January 30 with the Day of the Seizure of Power. Each November the streets of central Munich were dedicated to a Nazi Passion play depicting Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch. The martyrdom of Horst Wessel and his “old fighters” replaced Jesus and the apostles. Plays and official histories were rewritten to glorify pagan Aryans bravely fighting against Christianizing foreign armies. Anticipating some feminist pseudo history, witches became martyrs to the bloodthirsty oppression of Christianity."

POPSDon't Call What Happened in Iran an Election I know this is getting a lot of play right now but I couldn’t help clipping this mainly for the comment about the image of fascism being “Lots of splotchy boys who can't get a date are given guns and told they're special”.

POPSFascism at Home Means Fascism Abroad Shame on all those media outlets that have been complicit in this dirty lie all last week. And shame also on our pathetic secretary of state, who said that she hoped that “the genuine will and desire” of the people of Iran would be reflected in the outcome. Surely she knows that any such contingency was deliberately forestalled to begin with. Earlier this year, I spent a week with Hitchens in Lebanon, and at one point he wandered off to attend a Hezbollah rally in the suburbs south of Beirut. I thought I had seen enough Hezbollah rallies over the last couple of years and could hardly stand the thought of sitting through yet another one of those bigoted scream fests. I wish now that I had gone, though, because Hitchens witnessed an alarming escalation.

POPSNick Griffin prevented from speaking well, isn't that lovely. Why not ask the man the questions people want answered? But noooooo, the all-knowing asswipes throwing egss shall decide who will speak, and when. Pathetic.

POPSFascism--In The Beginning This is how it all starts. Like Germany in the 1930s when Hitler took over. Example: First, they wanted all people who had weapons to register them. This seems harmless doesn't it? Secondly, they seized all of the firearms so there would be less of a threat from the average citizen. Now we have Nazi Germany in its finest hour. Requirements now call for all people that use the nations airports to be TSA backgrounded and to have a badge. This is for each airport......There is no universal badge for all airports....FASCISTS Supposed to be for our security. It bites in the realm of losing personal liberties, one step at a time...........lakotahope

POPSItalian Fashion Books Read about Italian Fashion during Facism and up to recent date. When we think of Italian fashion, Gucci, Max Mara and the meteoric rise of Prada immediately spring to mind. But Italian fashion has a dark history that has not previously been explored. The Fascism of 1930s Italy dominated more than just politics - it spilled over into modes of dress.

POPS Thomas Sowell Thomas, I said two years ago, I said look, they're going to go for the car companies and the airlines and for the energy industry. They're going to go for the financial industry. There was like four of them that I lined up, and I said we're going down this fascist road. I don't know why people aren't marching in front of the Capitol or surrounding the Capitol with their lawn chairs and just saying you ain't leaving until you change all this nonsense. What's it going to take? SOWELL: Well to do that, they would have to sink. And this whole personality cult has caught on in such a way that it is going to be a while before people start thinking. It is a question of how big of a calamity is it going to take before they snap out of it.

POPSGovernment's Current Role in Business is 'Route' to Fascism Sowell argued it would take a “calamity” for people to realize that fascism is taking place – the issue being just how big it would be before the public could connect the dots. “Well to do that, they would have to think,” Sowell explained. “And this whole personality cult has caught on in such a way that it is going to be a while before people start thinking. It is a question of how big of a calamity is it gonna take before they snap out of it.” It didn't start with Obama.

POPSMemorial Day Patriotism, Myths, and "Day of Deceit"
Memorial Day has become a means of self-justification and propaganda to paint a picture of military operations through "remembering the dead" into National Righteousness. Books like this one quickly counter and dispel such myths about the wars Americans have fought in, being misled by Presidents on a global agenda instead of wars of self-defense. the eminent newsman, Edward R. Murrow, who snacked with FDR the night of Pearl Harbor, told his wife the president had revealed: "the biggest story of my life, but I don't know if it's my duty to tell it or forget it." According to Stinnett, years after the war ended, Murrow informed another journalist: "That story would send Casey Murrow through college, and if you think I'm going to give it to you, you're out of your mind." This article covers much more than this book, up to the present wars since 9/11, showing that "oil" plays an important role in each for Petro-Imperialism See article for much more.
