“As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air-however slight-lest we become unwilling victims of the darkness.”

~Justice William O. Douglas~

In April, 2007 I was pleasantly surprised to find Naomi Wolf’s article, “Fascist America, In 10 Easy Steps” posted in several places online. I have been a fan of Wolf for many years, greatly appreciating her works and especially her 1991 book, The Beauty Myth. I had been looking for a list-or more specifically, an encyclopedia of the losses of civil liberties in the United States that might clarify for my history students the extent to which America has become a fascist empire. Wolf’s “10 Easy Steps” was perfect, but her just-published book, The End Of America: Letter Of Warning To A Young Patriot, from which the 10 easy steps was compiled, offers an even fuller picture-a succinct and engaging explanation of how our civil liberties have been hijacked in the past decade. It is the most poignant, powerful, genuinely patriotic piece of literature I have encountered since Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. No wonder then, that the book’s cover greatly resembles that 46-page tract by Paine written in 1775-as well it should.

    There are two books that anyone concerned about the issues raised by this article should read:

    Peter Gelderloo, How Nonviolence Protects the State
    Kristian Williams, Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America

    Both are from South End Press.

    none of this is the least surprising, at least when you consider that our own government actually helped prop up and finance the Bolsheviks, remember them people? they ended up being our “nemesis” the soviet union..LOL! Now everything appears to have come full circle, and I knew all this was coming down YEARS ago, but for that I was called subversive. My experience has taught me that most people really aren’t aware until something affects THEM personally, and then often its far too late. Well, while we have been seduced by the likes of the latest pop star or the latest celebrity scandal, the trap doors have been closing, the water in the frying pan has been warming ever so slowly, bit by bit, until now…. oh my god! they say, how EVER will we get out of the burning house??? You gave them the matches, dimwit, and NOW you wanna know why oh why did they set fire to the front door? Duh, why do you think? Oh never mind, stop thinking…watching you hurt yourself while trying to think is more than I can bear….

    Propped up the Bolsheviks? The United States invaded the Soviet Union in 1918 with 14 other Capitalist nations, gave support to the Whites and nearly toppled the Reds, but the Reds held on and won. The United States was no friend to the Bolsheviks EVER. They worked since day one to overthrow them.

    Everything lies with the single man or woman, not with a group or organization (both of which are fictional as is government). What you see is training for sheep not for man or woman. Each aggressor, because they (a fiction, but justifiable in this case) wear a patch or uniform, feel free to damage another man or woman simply because they are told to. Truly, responsibility lies with the single man or woman that attacks another. The uniform is NOT an excuse, the orders are not an excuse. The buck stops right there at the point of action!

    The problem is ” Britney is fat and OJ is in jail” are the only “news” stories the dimwits in The Fallen Empyre see…I would have said read but the voting base lately isn’t capable… nor is dumbya, their ” Christian”, compassionate ,hero.
    I left 2 years ago, bought Euros, and bailed out of the real estate just in time.
