The decision of the investment Bank Goldman Sachs to refuse to conduct IPOs to companies with only “white men” on the Board of Directors made a lot of noise. The statement of David Solomon, CEO of the legendary Bank, was one of the most striking statements at the forum in Davos. It seemed that only cold calculation ruled the world of bankers. However, the policy of multicultural “diversity” with its emotions and sentimentalities has crept in here as well. From now on, Goldman Sachs will only accompany IPOs of startups that have women, non-white people, and people of non-traditional sexual orientation on their Board of Directors. The initiative of the banker – and part-time famous DJ-was criticized even by his politically correct colleagues. “How can you hope that you will be taken seriously if it is clear that you got on the Board of Directors not because of your experience, but simply because of a quota? American investment banker Carol Roth asks. “Goldman Sachs sets a good goal, but tries to achieve it with bad means.” Obviously, in reality, startups that want to work with Goldman Sachs will find many ways to formally fulfill this strange requirement. It is not difficult to imagine how Board members will negotiate (or play with matches) before entering the IPO: who will portray an oppressed national minority, and who will represent a person of non – traditional orientation. More important in Solomon’s statement, however, are the exceptions to the “support for diversity” program that he noted in passing. The “diversification” rule for boards of Directors does not apply to companies from Asia and South America. It will only apply to American and European startups. Human rights activists from countries not covered by the Bank’s initiative were genuinely outraged. According to their calculations, in Chinese, Japanese, and Indian companies, women are even worse represented in management than in African firms. “They just have to include Asia in their program, “says fern Ngai, CEO of Hong Kong – based Business community, which advocates inclusivity in company management.

However, Goldman Sachs ‘ calculations are quite different

THE POWER OF BANKS IS STRONGER THAN THE LEGISLATIVE, JUDICIAL AND EXECUTIVE

GENDER GENESIS OF EUROPE AT THE TURN OF XX-XXI CENTURIE

So the basis of politically correct statements about diversification is the same cold calculation

USA: HOMOSEXUAL FREEDOM AND FOREIGN POLICY

Therefore, the American dream was replaced by the equalization of political correctness

Now all dreams of making it to the top are associated with belonging to an oppressed minority – or better yet, several at once. The chances are slim, of course. However, active participation in the cultural wars against the white Patriarchy gives the lumpenized intelligentsia at least some outlet. It’s especially nice to harass a live classic based on the fact that he is an “old white man.”

FEMINISM, AS AN IDEOLOGICAL WEAPON OF GLOBALISM

And people are constantly pushed to the idea that there is a Mature democracy and immature democracy, true and untrue. The main thing is to distract them from the understanding that democracy is an artificially invented concept, the subject of which does not exist in the nature of human society, since the mechanism for the implementation of democracy, i.e. the power of the people, i.e. all members of society at the same time is technologically impossible.

Man is a social being. It is also called “social animal”

Only in the herd, the ancestors of man could resist the forces of nature, other predators, to survive and develop. Join a herd (tribe) people has increased due to:

(a) increasing the number of combat or working units operating simultaneously;
b) division of labor, which led to the growth of skill as a result of specialization.

The division of labour requires the coordination of the actions of people performing different functions, so that the result of different actions of different members of the community was a single planned result for all (the common good). So there is a management function – compulsion to coordination of actions of different members of community.

In order for the management to be effective, the subject of management (leader, ruler, etc.) must have the power (ability and ability to impose their will). For a community to flourish, governance must be effective and fair, and for that, the Manager must be competent and in line with the ethical vision of the managed community. Thus, it follows from the above that the power function is the function of a specialist, and not as all members of the community, i.e. the people. Yes, a good Manager should take into account the opinion of the management objects (feedback) in order to act in their interests. In addition, the subordinate, acting on conviction many times more effective, acting involuntarily.

Manipulators may argue that the essence of democracy is not that the people all at the same time exercise power, but that it gives a mandate to exercise these functions to their elected representatives, who already rule society in the interests of voters.

But here there are several objections. To Express the will, it must be realized

To realize something, you need to have reliable and complete information about it. It turns out that who controls the information, he decides that people democratically choose. And there is a majority that does not go to the polls, because he believes that democracy is a Chimera, which was invented by financial bigwigs to continue to be the main in this life.

That is, it turns out three factors that say that not all members of the community (and not even the majority) give managers a mandate to power:

1. Those who control the media, educational institutions, and that forms the voter’s idea of what is good and what is bad.

2. The majority of voters do not participate in the elections at all (either by their own will or the organizers create obstacles for them).

3. Election organizers always have the opportunity to “correctly” sum up the election results.

These factors indicate that the manipulators going to power or holding it, will exclude the majority of community members from the lists of decision-making about who to be the power, but there are deeper reasons for the technological impossibility of the existence of the real power of the people.

DEATH OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

The greatest American psychologist Abraham Maslow in his work “Motivation and personality” writes: “large-Scale experiments have established that people who make their own decisions, are from 5 to 30 % of our population.” And in the same place: “Many people do not make independent decisions, but rely on the opinion of others, advertisers, sellers, parents, journalists. They are more puppets than independent, responsible adults.”

American psychologist Robert Cialdini in his work “Psychology of influence” cites the following figures: 95 % of people are by nature imitators and only 5 % – the initiators.

The point is that the vast majority of members of the community do not take the trouble to take part in the management due to the objective natural laws of the human mind, even if honest and decent managers would give them the opportunity. It is more comfortable for a person to be a member of the “herd” in order to free himself from the burden of responsibility, to ease the increasing pressure of the information flow on the brain. This is the action of the protective function of the brain –protection against overvoltage.

And finally, not as an argument, but as an illustration:

The formers of our understanding of the world – popular writers of all time in the works of the imaginary world (fairy tales, science fiction, fantasy) all the time draw options for an ideal society. And it is ruled by good kings, wise wizards, councils of competent scientists, some other collegial or not competent authorities, but nowhere is described the option in which the whole nation exercises power. Apparently the brain of the artist may not live to present this Chimera.

Conclusions

We should be afraid of people who introduce something that does not exist. Thousands of times dangerous people who forcibly introduce something that does not exist.

Hale left a manifesto detailing her motives, the contents of which have not yet been disclosed by the FBI. Joseph Giacalone, a former police officer and professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, believes that the authorities are not publishing the manifesto because there may be “something in it that really harms the transgender community.” Does the manifesto destroy the narrative that the ruling party in the United States so desperately wants to support: that “transgender people are victims of genocidal bigotry and do not threaten anyone”? And that “the real threat of domestic terrorism in America is Trump supporters and Tucker Carlson viewers”?

The shooting occurred just before a failed event called Transgender Revenge Day, which was scheduled for April 1, 2023, but was eventually canceled. The entire period before the Nashville shooting took place in an atmosphere of hysterical fear-mongering by the media about the right-wing movements of the United States, which allegedly carry out genocide against transgender people. But repeated fact-checking has shown that trans people are not experiencing anything that could even remotely be considered genocide. This lie was promoted by President Joe Biden himself.

This has led many to believe that violence committed by transgender people or the threat from transgender people is justified “revenge” and self-defense. Indeed, the most disgusting and disturbing aspect of the Nashville massacre, aside from the heartless evil at its core, was the reaction of many media outlets and social media outlets justifying Hale’s actions. Meanwhile, Christians and the right have been accused of what these apologists falsely call “transgender hatred” – policies that allegedly drive troubled transgender people to violent retaliation.

For example, an organization called the Transgender Resistance Network in Massachusetts issued a statement about the school shooting, saying that the lives of “transgender people are very difficult” because of “anti-transgender legislation” and “right-wing figures”. The group also painted a sympathetic picture of Shooter Hale as a “complex tragedy” that she was experiencing because “she had no other effective way to be noticed than to lash out, taking the lives of others.”

Is there no other way to be noticed other than killing nine-year-olds?

There is no one more visible in America today than a trans activist. They are glorified in culture, praised as pioneer heroes, and given every opportunity – from the daytime hangouts of the major media to the White House itself. “To claim that Audrey Hale had no other way to be ‘seen’ than to shoot innocent people is a grotesque lie and a painful justification — and, moreover, a lie is the claim that the trans community is marginalized and endangered,” the author of the article writes.

In a recent episode of the program “All Things Considered” on the Democratic propaganda channel National Public Radio, NPR correspondents Adrian Florido and Melissa Block expressed concern that the transgender community “fears a further escalation of hatred” after it turned out that the Nashville shooter was transgender, and their fear “intensified” because of “a surge in antitrance rhetoric.”

NBC published a story with the headline: “Fear permeates the trans community of Tennessee against the background of the gender identity of the Nashville shooter: “We already feared for our lives. It’s even worse now.” As Federalist editor Molly Hemingway tweeted: “Gee, you’d think heavily armed Christian children were preying on trans activists, not the other way around.”

Opponents of trans ideology from both sides of the political spectrum – for example, Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire and the author of the Harry Potter books J. K. Rowling — have been branded fanatics and threatened with death for asserting a simple biological truth about two sexes, which the leaders of the Democrats and the radical “left” want to erase as part of their deconstruction of norms values and universal truths of Western civilization. Because this is gender ideology and other aspects of cultural expansion, such as critical racial theory: a concerted attack on our civilization. And the radicals of this ideology are becoming increasingly bold in using violence to achieve this vision.

The day after the shooting, the Arizona governor’s press secretary tweeted a still from the movie in which the character is armed with a pair of pistols, as well as the message “this is us when we see transphobes“. There is no other way to read this tweet except as support for the actions of Hale’s child killer and as a threat that others who consider themselves transgender are ready to shoot anyone they consider their opponent.

A trans man named Tara Jay recently urged his 2,400 TikTok subscribers to buy guns and told them he was ready to die for the “safety” and “freedom” of transgender people:

“If you corner an animal, it will become a dangerous animal. So, if you want to die for this righteousness and moral perfection of yours, then you go straight ahead. I’ll kill you if you try to stop me from going to the women’s bathroom. This will be the last mistake you’ll ever make. I will kill you if you try to prevent a transgender woman from using the bathroom in my presence. This will be the last mistake you’ll ever make. This is a call to action and a call to arms for everyone in the United States who is scared, anxious, has transgender, lesbian, bisexual or gay children…. This is a call to action. You need to arm yourself. It’s simple, go and buy a gun. Learn how to use it effectively. To the core. Because now is the time to act. You need to protect yourself, and you need to protect your transgender friend…. There are many people like me who are not afraid to die. I love my friends to death.”

Another example: in an already deleted Twitter post, transgender activist Kayla Denker posed with an AR-15 and a pistol along with the words “Kill the Christokuk. Decapitate the Christocooks” and “crucify the dirty Christocooks”, as well as “throw the christocook child in the trash.” The post was tagged with the hashtag “trans day of revenge.”

Comment by V.O.:

The main thing is that transgender people who call for the murder of their opponents do not bear ANY RESPONSIBILITY.

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green has announced that her Congressional Twitter profile has been suspended after she condemned the existence of a suspected “trans-terrorist” network following the shooting at a Catholic elementary school in Nashville that claimed the lives of six people. After the shooting, staged by a 28-year-old man who identified himself as a transsexual, Green pointed her index finger precisely at the gender identity of the killer, arguing that hormone inhibitors and other drugs taken for gender “transition” are responsible for the emotional state. and a psychological imbalance. Green also pointed the finger at the alleged event known as “Trans Revenge Day,” arguing that the Nashville shooting is a symptom of the alleged threat of “trans-terrorism.”

On her personal Twitter profile, Green disputed the suspension of her official profile: “Why is Twitter canceling the existence of a “Trans Revenge Day”?” the deputy wrote, referring directly to Twitter owner Elon Musk. “After the mass murder of children by a transgender mass murderer, people should be aware of the threat posed to them by Antifa and trans–terrorism,” the conservative MP wrote. Ella J. Irwin, vice president of trust and security at Twitter, commented that social media automatically deletes any tweet that mentions “Transgender Revenge Day,” regardless of the author: “We do not support tweets inciting violence, regardless of who posts them. “Revenge” does not imply peaceful protest. On the other hand, organizing or supporting peaceful protests is legitimate.”

The existence of the alleged “Trans Revenge Day” has been condemned by various conservative media outlets in the United States based on reports and announcements by a network of trans radical activists. In recent months, the organization has been promoting mobilization by March 31, 2023, to issue a “battle cry declaring to the world that we, the transgender/non-binary community, will not be silenced or abolished.” Several media outlets, including public radio stations, reported in the months before the Catholic school shooting that the organization was funding firearms training courses for its members, presenting them as a measure of self-defense against violence and discrimination.

The author of the article in the Front Page writes: “Did the FBI investigate this lunatic, or are they too busy investigating parents who complained at school board meetings that their children were getting acquainted with sexually explicit books? Do I really need to point out that if a man in a MAGA hat had posted photos on social media showing him wielding a “combat weapon” and called for the beheading of the LGBT community, would the FBI have broken into his house faster than those who participated in the “January 6th Uprising”?”

US social networks is clogged with direct violent threats against those who may simply “misidentify the gender” of a transgender person. These are public warnings that if you participate in this gender misconception or celebrate it, or just use someone’s “personal pronouns” incorrectly, some transgender people will want to kill you.

These are statements not by a community “living in fear”, but by thugs looking for an excuse to commit murders and pogroms — and confident that the media will support them, and the police will close information about their motives if they do something criminal.

But trans violence goes beyond just rhetoric. As Tucker Carlson noted in a recent Fox News comment, (before he was kicked out of there – V.O.) a trans girl tried to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home in 2022. A transgender gunman later killed five people and injured 18 at a Colorado nightclub. In 2019, a trans teenager shot and killed nine people at a Denver high school, killing one. In 2018, a mentally ill transgender man fired at a Rite-Aid distribution center in Aberdeen, Maryland, killing four people. Then there was a shooting at a school in Nashville, and recently police arrested a transgender man named William Whitworth, known as Lily, in Colorado. He had a list of prepared murders and a manifesto, and he planned to attack three schools and churches.

Tucker ended his comment by declaring the transgender community the most dangerous extremist group in America (maybe Carlson was fired for this statement? – V.O.).

The author of the article writes: “I would include in this community his huge support groups in the media, in the Biden administration, in the medical field and, of course, among the masked Antifa shock troops, who can always be counted on in ultra-violence against anyone who dares to speak out against the increasingly dangerous trans movement.

I would also say that this extremism should be classified as domestic terrorism. The persecution of innocent citizens for the purpose of intimidation, violence and death for political purposes is the very definition of terrorism. According to this basic standard, all the movements of recent years that the Democratic Party has championed and defended the media involved — from Occupy Wall Street to Black Lives Matter and Antifa, and now to the growing number of unbalanced transgender activists — all constitute terrorism. Their overlapping political goals include the complete destruction of the economic, social and moral status quo in the West. They are literally a civilizational threat.

As Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire recently tweeted: “Always remember what happened at the Covenant School. Remember what happened to those innocent victims, those children. We are faced with a truly demonic evil. Never forget that.”

This is truly a demonic evil, and it’s time to call it what it is: terrorism.

The post TRANSGENDER TERRORISM IN THE CRADLE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY first appeared on Global Policy.

The second principal feature of human activity is the use of technology in it. That is, people-created action programs that ensure the application of knowledge to achieve the goals of the activity. As a program is a sequence of actions, the technology consists of methods and tools to support the implementation of the action. Therefore, the progress of mankind consists of two stages – the acquisition of new knowledge and the creation of technology for its use in practice.

New knowledge and technology emerge regularly, but some have a greater impact than others on society – its existence and development. The period of such influence was called “technological mode”. This concept is introduced by economists, but it applies to all spheres of activity. Because in all spheres of society all activities are based on knowledge and technology.

This means that there are technological structures in the political, social, scientific, cultural, military and all other spheres of activity. Their successive change demonstrates the development of the sphere. But their cardinal influence on the existence and development of the social environment takes place only within the boundaries of the sphere itself. But since all spheres of activity are “organs” of the unified system of the social organism, a significant change in any of them necessarily has some impact on the rest of the spheres-makes them adapt to the new features of the changed sphere.

As a result, the whole system of the social organism changes somehow

At a minimum, the models of interaction with the changed sphere of other spheres are corrected. As a maximum, some of the other areas of activity are also changing significantly. At the same time, the scale of changes is dictated by the need to restore the stability of the system of the social organism – the greater the imbalance in the social body created a change in some of the spheres of activity, the more the system of the social organism will change.

Therefore, on the one hand, the system of the social organism is changing continuously, on the other hand, periodically it changes radically. As it happened as a result of the transition to the model of industrial society. After all, it is in all key features is fundamentally different from the previous society – the feudal. And the fact that in this story all spheres of activity have changed fundamentally means that the source of changes is not one of the spheres of activity, but some common for all sphere-performing a system – forming function for the public organism.

And this is not an economic sphere. The attempts of economists to declare the economic sphere systemically important for society is a manifestation of the inertia of Marxist thinking-the idea that the economy is the Foundation of society. As a consequence, the postulation of the idea that the role of the only motor of social development performs the process of changing the economic sphere.

The reason why a significant part of political scientists and sociologists agree with this postulate does not belong to the category of scientific ones. Just in the social science sector economic science appeared first. While other social science disciplines began to develop much later. And economists took advantage of the handicap in time-introduced into the consciousness of the social science community their own ideas about the organization of society. Naturally, in these views, the economy served for the society as a system-forming sphere of activity. But Marx and Engels summed up by this pseudo-scientific postulate is the basis of the informational theory of social development.

Society is certainly a single organism

This means that it has a sphere of activity, the purpose of which is to ensure the organizational and legal unity of society. This is Economics. But the political sphere is not suitable for the role of the backbone. After all, in it, politicians perform only the function of the captain of a public ship – manage the processes of existence and change of society. And to what purpose to conduct a public ship, on which route and in what way, the captain dictates the ideological sphere. Because the activity in this sphere creates a common understanding of the world for the subjects of all spheres. What unites them all in the public body.

That is, in the same way as for the participants of the tour the initial unifying beginning is a map of the area. Because first of all, guided by it, they make all important decisions on where and how to move. As a result, they act together. As the world Outlook sphere creates the world Outlook, it acts for other spheres of activity as the cartographer – the Creator of the map of the public environment and the expert on its use. This is exactly what makes the world Outlook sphere of activity the main unifying principle of society and its system integrator. And it is the ideological sphere that ensures the unification of people and all spheres of activity into a single social organism.

Therefore, the main difference between an industrial society and a feudal one is a fundamentally different worldview. And the reason for the radical restructuring of the organization of society and the transition to new goals for him was the replacement of the captains and navigators of public ships of European civilization idealistic worldview materialistic. The same thing happened in history with the transition from the ancient society to the feudal – Christian worldview offered new goals for society and demanded a different organization.

Today, severe and already chronic crises are observed simultaneously in all spheres of activity of the countries of the First world. Political, economic and social crises are only more visible. As the concern of all. And all sufficiently understood. This means that there is a crisis common to all spheres of activity. Accordingly, having a common cause for all spheres.
Such a reason can only be a common understanding of the world

Because if in all spheres activity leads to disappointing results, it means that in all spheres the understanding of what is happening in them is lost – the direction and nature of the flow of developing processes. As a natural consequence of the complexity of the environment as a result of the increase in its activities, the number of subjects, types of social relations. That leads to failures, as a consequence of the inadequacy of the actual existing conditions.

Since society provides a worldview sphere of activity, it means that the crisis originates in it. And in other areas only derivative crises are developing. As for failed to come to the destination group of tourists the initial problem is the quality of its existing maps. And the subsequent conflicts between them are derived from the map problems.

This means that the original cause of the first world crises is an outdated worldview-which does not correspond to the level of complexity achieved in the development process. Available to developed societies understanding of the world similar to the maps of half a century ago. It is clear that such maps are not able to ensure effective activity – they lack a lot and there are many that have not existed in reality for a long time. Guided by these maps, the captains of the doomed ships to conduct the public about routes to simulacrum goals. This is what the us and EU authorities are demonstrating today with depressing evidence.

Worldview provides the philosophical system derived from her philosophical teachings and derived from the teachings of social science theory. Industrial worldview of developed countries is provided by materialism, ideologies of socialism and liberalism, modern social science theories. Accordingly, the problem is one of these components or all together.

But the social processes developing in the countries of the First world demonstrate that it is not only the inadequacy of all three components of the industrial worldview. Two aggravating circumstances have a significant impact. The Outlook has dramatically worsened the refusal of the authorities of the ideological sphere from set a materialism orientation of power for purposes of social development. As a result, socialism and liberalism, as the ideology of social and personal development, lost the subject of activity. And from the sailing directions of social control has turned into his sets.

The captain of the ship, who lost his sailing, will put him in drift

And not knowing what to do, start drinking. The observed bacchanalia of greed of the ruling classes of developed countries, it is just typical for such a situation, the commanding binge. Ideologies are not only the powers that be – people use them for orientation in their own lives. The transformation of ideologies into political scenery devalued them as an individual navigation support – people gradually lost faith in their truth. So quality of worldview after the government lost and citizens. As a result, the” time of troubles ” came on all floors of society. And the same, for example, Ukraine, demonstrates its heavy form.

But materialism could not become the conceptual basis of social science

Because it has no mind and no society. And all attempts of philosophers to attach them to the materialistic model of the universe ended in failure. Therefore, the development of social science disciplines provided only a model created in the framework of materialism evolutionary process. Although the model did not explain the nature of the subjects of social processes, it nevertheless gave an idea of the processes themselves – their nature and orientation. As a result, the model could serve as ersatz conceptual support.

In fact, social science two centuries have evolved as polonyi – analogue alchemy. And as the results of alchemy were successfully used by the economy, and the results of alchemical social science with some efficiency used by the authorities of European civilization. First of all, social science disciplines oriented society and citizens to development. This provided European civilization accelerated development during the industrial era.

We can say that if chemistry and physics materialism has given the opportunity to develop, moving with the tide of evolution “crawl”, the social science it has provided the opportunity to sail only “a dog.” Nevertheless, even with the efficiency of the locomotive, social science allowed the authorities to manage the process of social development quite intelligently.

But when intellectual authorities announced the end of social development half a century ago, they deprived social science of its conceptual basis. Having lost it, social scientists turned into decorators of politics and dreamers. And the process of social development has moved into an uncontrollable mode.

Half a century ago, it was time for developed countries to change their worldview once again-to move to a new worldview. Adequate to the level of complexity achieved by society. And already the fourth technological way of the world Outlook sphere of societies of the channel of the European civilization. It was the first way of the ancient era. It was created by the first generation of philosophical systems. In them the earth the world was created “stone” senior creatures – gods, spirits, animate forces of nature. And there are their established rules. As a result, the model of the universe had a patchwork form, and in each flap acted established by her God order.

The second was the way of the feudal era. Its authors were Greek patristic philosophers known as the “fathers of the Church.” They developed a Christian model of a centralized world-created by one God and having a single world order. Christian religion has become a fundamental knowledge of the second way of life, and Church authorities have developed technologies for the use of this knowledge in the management of feudal societies.

The third was the way of the industrial era. Materialism, the world order in the form of a system of laws of nature and industrial ideologies have formed its fundamental knowledge. On the basis of social science theories were developed technology management of society-its existence and development.

But by the last third of the twentieth century, this way of life had exhausted its potential to ensure social development – its efficiency in managing social development had dropped to zero. This stopped the process of social development of the First world. And automatically deployed it in the direction of degradation. And the Soviet Union only came to the first position for the process of degradation of the final. Today it is obvious that the USA is rushing to this final. And a maximum of five years from America in the process of degradation behind the European Union.

This means that the question of creating a new worldview and the transition to the fourth worldview for the countries of the First world has become a question of their survival. At the same time, it is also already obvious that “think tanks” using the worldview of the industrial way of life are not able to solve this problem in principle. And other” brains ” in the West simply do not.

Since the USSR was the first victim of the evolutionary crisis, Russian intellectuals were the first to get rid of neoliberal illusions. And in the late 90-ies engaged in the study of the crisis of industrial society and the development of issues to overcome it.

At the same time, the older generation, who managed to live during the cold war, prefers the usual capitalism. And if we consider the data on the American society as a whole, the supporters of socialism in it only 34%, and Communists and fascists — 3% and 4%, respectively.

Another interesting figure is the number of those who have a negative attitude to communism

In the minds of Americans, the concepts of “socialism” and “communism” are far from identical. Although a third of the US population is positive about socialism, the vast majority (75%) perceive communism negatively, believing that Communist ideology is still a “problem”. However, among young people, the percentage of those who are negative about communism is the lowest — 34%.

Images of Communist leaders are also more appealing to people in their 20s and 30s than to the older generation. Thus, only 26% of Americans consider che Guevara a hero, 18% also refer to Karl Marx, 17% — to Vladimir Lenin, 16% — to Mao Zedong, 13% — to Stalin. And among Millenials Che Guevara loves 31%, Marx-32%, Lenin-23%, and Mao-19%. The only Communist leader to whom young Americans are more negative than their older fellow citizens is Joseph Stalin. It is positively perceived by only 6% of young people in the United States.

MAY DAY RALLY ON FREEDOM SQUARE, MAY 1, 2017, WASHINGTON, DC

Vladimir Putin, whom the survey organizers for some reason attributed to Communist leaders, is considered a hero by 25% of all Americans (among young people, 21%).

Founded by former national security adviser to President Carter Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1994, the Foundation for the memory of the victims of communism became interested in the study of the attitude of American society to socialism only in 2016. It was then that the first survey of this kind was conducted.

The researchers did not hide that the reason for the survey was the growing popularity of Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders, who put forward his candidacy for President of the United States in the 2016 elections. The politician, who in the US is called a socialist, almost bypassed the democratic primaries of the main favorite of the Hillary Clinton party, and voted for the 75-year-old Senator, mostly young Americans.

In the course of the study in 2016, the question of what social and economic system they would prefer to live, the us residents were not asked. We only found out how many of them have a negative attitude to socialism, communism and capitalism and how they perceive the current situation in the economy of the United States.

In 2015, YouGov conducted an independent study, according to which 36% of young Americans positively perceived socialism, and 39% — capitalism. In General, only 26% of all Americans were positive about socialism and 52% — about capitalism. As the figures show, over the past two years the number of supporters of socialist ideas in American society has increased.

Generation of losers

According to a survey by YouGov And the Fund for the memory of victims of communism, American youth is the only age group that is predominantly negative about the economic situation in the country. 53% of young people are ready to agree with the statement “the American economic system works against me”.

AMERICANS ARE LOSING THE MEANING OF LIFE

“Young Americans now live worse than their parents. Previously, it was the opposite: every new generation of Americans wanted to live better than their parents, and now American young people live worse or will live worse after graduation than mom and dad,” HSE Professor Alexander Domrin outlined the reason for the discontent of young Americans.

As foreign Policy magazine columnist Sarah Kenzior notes in the article “Why young Americans abandon capitalism”, the cause of discontent is the economic problems that the United States is experiencing after the crisis of 2008.

“Wages stagnate or decrease. The cost of services in areas such as health, education and child care is growing exponentially. Full-time work becomes contract work and benefits are reduced. Jobs associated with the middle class are replaced by low-paid service jobs. Expectations that you will live just like your parents when you were born,<…> crumble to dust,” — said Kendzior.

“American society was permeated with anti-communism, which was cultivated and planted during the cold war and which was preserved thanks to the well — being of the 1990s, the time of bill Clinton, – said in a conversation RT head of the Center for economic research of the Institute of globalization and social movements Vasily Koltashov. – But then came another era-the era of active implementation of neoliberal programs, reducing social spending and most importantly — the maintenance of universal commercialization”.

“Jobs with a good salary becomes less than a year from year. And those young people who came to work at MacDonald’s or some kind of trading network like Walmart, then to find a good job, were there forever,” explains the reasons for the special discontent of young Americans expert.

The reasons for the protest

However, more and more people are dissatisfied with the current state of Affairs in other age groups of American society. A year ago, before Donald trump was elected President of the United States, according to a study by YouGov and the victims of communism memorial Fund, 52% of Americans were negative about the existing economic system, and the only generation it suited were those born in the 1920s and 1940s. However, even now 48% of Americans believe that the economy is working against them, although the number of supporters of the existing system after the election of a populist President exceeded 50%.

Now the unemployment rate in the United States shows a downward trend and is about 4% (the lowest rate in the last 17 years), which roughly corresponds to other developed countries, such as Germany or the UK. However, wage growth is almost non-existent.

Since 2009, hourly wages have been growing at a low rate (less than 3% annually). In October this year, wage growth in the United States increased by only 0.4%. At the same time, in 2017, the cost of health services increased by 4.6%, and in 2018, the already expensive medical care in the US will become even more expensive by more than 5%. Although inflation in the US is quite low (less than 2% in recent years) and prices are rising slowly, there are many other problems that seriously complicate the lives of ordinary people.

“There is a debt load of the population, the problems with the labor code in the US, where the hospital is due to leave, problems with the health care system” — lists the RT questions, forcing the Americans to advocate for the expansion of social functions of the state, research fellow, Center for North American studies, IMEMO ran Sergey Kislitsin. “Young people have no prospects, the American economy is in crisis, the real incomes of Americans have decreased by a third since the beginning of the global crisis in 2008,” adds Vasily Koltashov.

According to the same study by YouGov and the victims of communism memorial Fund, in 2017, seven out of ten Americans believed that high-income people paid too little and advocated for tax increases, eight out of ten considered the division into rich and poor “a serious problem,” and 37% of Americans advocated “a complete change in the economic system.”
New division

DEATH OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

“The Americans felt the need for a social state and under socialism they understand primarily the social democratic model, where there is free medicine, free education, where everyone is guaranteed a pension and no one dies of hunger,” Koltashov notes. – There was a grandiose rehabilitation of the ideas of socialism, which since the 1930s, probably, have never been so popular in the United States, so clear and popular.”

Under the socialist slogans were protests Occupy Wall Street 2011 and demonstrations Fight for $15 (“Fight for $15”) in 2015, when the Americans demanded the introduction of a minimum hourly wage of $ 15. In 2015-2016, millions of us citizens at the democratic primaries voted for Bernie Sanders, but he, according to Vasily Koltashov, “was not up to the historical task.”

“When the question arose, where to lead the United States and how to act, he went to a deal with the right Democrats,” — said the expert.

The world watches with amazement the strange throwing of the USA in the field of foreign policy. They are in bad harmony with their image of a powerful superpower – a recognized “world gendarme”. But we must understand that this superpower is entering an extremely difficult period for itself: the economic stratification within the country is growing, the number of poor is increasing, and the Great Recession (as it is almost officially called the period that began in 2008) risks being greatly delayed.

You can argue for a long time how rich Americans live compared to residents of other countries. Undoubtedly another-many Americans do not want to live any more. According to the Center for disease control and prevention in the United States, for seventeen years the number of suicides in the country increased by almost 30 percent, and in half of the States the growth was from 30 to 58 percent.

America is catching up with Lithuania

Only in 2016, committed suicide nearly 45 million Americans in the age of 10 years. The country likes to be reproached for being too liberal in the field of carrying weapons, which makes it vulnerable to “lone gunmen”. But the figure in 45 thousand cases is twice the number of us citizens killed in the same 2016.the Average rating of suicides in the country is 16 per hundred thousand people. Such figures in America have not seen since the great Depression.

Legislator sad trend is traditionally the youth. The Americans from 15 to 34 years suicide was the second “yield” cause of death. In the same group there was an off-scale increase in cases of opioid poisoning. Among girls aged 10 to 14, the number of suicides has tripled.

In prosperous States such as Washington (not to be confused with the same city – the capital of the United States), the total number of suicides is relatively small – about 7 cases per 100 thousand population. But in States like Montana, that’s 29 cases. For comparison: in Lithuania-the absolute record for the number of suicides in the EU and one of the world Champions — this figure is 32.7 per 100 thousand.

It turns out that in one of the richest countries in the world there are areas where residents kill themselves with almost the same speed as in the depressed Baltic States. However, these grim statistics are rarely discussed in the American media. And now she hit the headlines mainly because of two high-profile suicides that occurred almost simultaneously. With a difference of a few days committed suicide designer Katie spade and a leading culinary talk show Anthony Bourdain.

They belonged to the democratic establishment, were rich, famous and successful. However, Bourdain, according to rumors, was never able to overcome his dependence on heroin. And spade has long been treated for bipolar disorder — in this case, the us prescribes medicines, one of the recognized side effects of which are “suicidal ideation”. Thus, both deaths are linked to the epidemic of opioid and drug dependence, which has covered the country and is already recognized as a national disaster. In the last 15 years alone, the number of overdose deaths has tripled. Analysis of the reasons for the popularity of suicide in the press usually comes down to a showdown between Democrats and trappiste.

Liberal media explain the situation by the unavailability of psychological assistance and the availability of firearms. It turns out that people kill themselves because they can not make an appointment with a psychologist, but if they do get to the doctor, he will prescribe them such drugs, from which suicidal sentiments will only increase. In addition, more than half of the reported suicides are not related to mental illness at all.

The problem of access to weapons also does not stand up to criticism. More than half of Americans really prefer to “put the bullet point at the end”. However, those who do not have weapons find other ways to die. The same spade and burden, as well as it is necessary to democratic elite, couldn’t stand firearms.

In turn, the right blame Barack Obama, in which industrial production has declined sharply, and hundreds of industrial cities have become a “rusty belt” of America. In their opinion, before trump came to power, Americans died of poverty and lack of prospects, but now everything will magically change.

Experts, however, believe that the suicidal trend will only increase – as well as the trend to reduce life expectancy.

White men don’t belong here

DEATH OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

The overwhelming number of suicides in America are committed by white men. Middle-aged people are at particular risk. This is not a typical situation. Usually in this terrible competition leading teenagers and the elderly, and only in the United States in recent years, the death rate from suicide among adults is growing faster. Since 1999, the number of suicides among white males aged 45-64 has increased by 63 per cent. There are, however, groups where the dynamics are even worse-these are women from among the descendants of indigenous people, politically speaking-Indian women; among the latter, the increase in suicide reached 89%.

Researchers associate this trend with the crisis of the “working aristocracy”. From 2001 to 2012 in the country 42400 factories and plants were closed, 5,5 million vacancies on production were reduced. The loss of a well – paid job meant for the American proletarians not only impoverishment-together with the position they lost self-respect and meaning of life. Yes, some time they could feed themselves jobs in fast food or car washes. But no hopes to give their children education or earn a decent pension, they have no choice. Benefits saved from starvation, but killed self-esteem. Hence the rampant alcoholism, drug abuse and an epidemic of suicides that swept the rust belt of America.

A classic example is the state of North Dakota, familiar to us from the town of Fargo, famed by the Cohen brothers. There is the growth of suicides reached a record 58.6 per cent. A month ago in the town of Grand forks in his own house were found the bodies of 35-year-old local resident and her three sons 6, 10 and 14 years. A week before her death, the woman asked for donations on the GoFundMe website: she was charged thousands of bills for the treatment and treatment of children, which she was unable to pay. Not receiving a penny on the resource, she shot her children, and then committed suicide.

Similar stories from residents of the city of Bute in Montana

In the XX century copper, gold, silver were mined here, but then it became unprofitable and people began to lose their jobs. When the pulp mill closed, four people killed themselves.

“I regularly think about suicide,” Kevin lawney, a 54 – year-old supermarket cashier, told reporters at the Guardian. A devout Catholic torment of the infinite debt for insurance. Looney suffers from diabetes and hypertension, recently won the cancer, and after several operations, his debt to the clinic exceeded 40 thousand dollars despite the correct payment of health insurance. Such money at the cashier isn’t present, but also he can’t declare bankruptcy: to start the corresponding procedure, it is necessary to pay about one and a half thousand dollars.

“All my life I worked hard. I was the typical forever-processing American. I did not drink, I did not smoke, I am a devout Catholic, I worked all my life, graduated from College, raised three children, and now in my old age I am deeply in debt,” he tells reporters.

Only faith in God and a daughter, with whom a single father huddles in a social housing, is kept from Looney’s suicide. He will never have a pension – all the savings went to pay his medical bills. But Americans are killed not only by poverty and idleness

From 2004 to 2012, the number of suicides in the us army tripled. And in the same Montana 20% suicides account for on troops in resignation-usually this relatively prosperous people with pension and a good social package.

Their example is followed by real rich people and celebrities. Arranging a mass shooting in Las Vegas, committed suicide multimillionaire Stephen Paddock. Provoking a lot of copycats, suicides, passed away comedian Robin Williams.

Many are particularly afraid of the fact that suicide has become a fashionable topic. If previously, he sang songs only depressive rockers, but now do such pop divas like Rihanna and Beyonce. In the thriving funeral industry, the United States even had a special offer for suicides: for their families write special sermons, they devote the appropriate verses.

Obviously, the causes of this epidemic are rooted in the General moral climate in the United States. Lack of prospects and General disillusionment in life are equally ruining the poor and the rich, Republicans and Democrats. Plays a role and the cult of success-the notorious “American dream”. Not having achieved what he hoped for, the white American experiences what happened as the end of his path – and at this moment he does not have that support group (for example, relatives or friends) that helps his colored peers survive.

Individualism, which was so proud of the people of the United States, today becomes the risk factor. And the unrealized American dream literally brings to the grave.

The post AMERICANS ARE LOSING THE MEANING OF LIFE first appeared on Global Policy.

On arrival in America, a friend faced the typical problem of all visitors-where to snatch so that everything was and nothing for it was not. Options loader/ cleaner / fast food worker / pool cleaner / gardener, he brushed off immediately because of the small fee, so began to look for work with the same interests. I was looking for a long time and in the end was able to get a job as a mechanic in the “underground” Stoshka to the Ukrainian. Why underground because the majority of the local population prefers to address in the authorized centers where anybody won’t begin to repair anything plainly – will stupidly replace with new details and everything, the price tag corresponding. For this reason, the most fearless and economical Americans prefer to look for such as my friend. After two years of work there, his boss said that today he will come to serious people and will talk to my friend. Therefore, face wash and for the market to follow. The result of the conversation was a proposal to go to work “on the profile”, but in a more prestigious and highly paid place. As it turned out, collect and disassemble stolen cars and everything connected with it. So he fell in ” family.” From there he destroyed the stereotypes about the Russian mafia and gave a stimulating kick in the form of some “lift” amounts of money.

Now we will focus on the “family”

To name fingers and point names, I will not, for fraught and know from each other only on the branch where it is located, but the essence will try to pass. Let’s start, steer all the so-called “fingers” , this is the top, few people know them, each of them is responsible and holds some sphere of business : drugsmedicines, prostitution, weapons, and so on. They are the elite, the dark horse. All the others who stand below are replaceable characters who constantly move up and down the career ladder for shoals and successes, but they are the basis. To a greater extent , they are “painted”, that is, have tattoos, talking about their way of becoming who they are now. In parallel with the basis there are “neutrals”: wives, husbands, children, workers (as my friend) and beginners. They are used for civil work such as: give, bring, take, talk, buy. Because they are “clean” both skin and criminal history.

The main break patterns of my friend were the facts : – the whole “family” consists of an equal number of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians. There is some numerical superiority thereof under the command of one or other of the “fingers”. – business areas are no longer divided “by nationality”. And the Russian, and Jewish, and Chinese mafia engaged in all a little bit. They earn on everything they have, but, of course, each of them has different interests and inclinations. – all “black” and Latin gangs have weight only in ghettos and in”favellas”. In the “Big game”they are at the level of the Bird, which presses mobile phones in school. – American police bought more reliable than at home and it is more responsible in this regard. If he is “selling”, the chance that he will become a whore or a rat is almost zero. That’s why we don’t see reports of corrupt cops. – criminal manners, “Fenya” and zekov’s antics, which we often see at home, are no longer welcomed there. This was the place before, but now it is dangerous. Belonging to crime there hide and try not to advertise. Because the media in America is like nonstop diarrhea. News “vyser” will go such that not every book writer can come up with. So, what exactly was my friend doing? As I said, they redid and” reissued ” stolen cars, but also were responsible for all transport. Daily checks for the presence of” surprises ” in the form of bugs, explosive devices and marks, which could be considered as a special sign. The most important part is the preparation of courier and freight transport, here is more interesting. When we are talking about the carriage of “goods” , I , a man vzroslii on action movies and TV shows about gangsters, was a huge truck traveling in the night, with a crowd of protection and support, but no. Huge BUMMER! To cover transportation use taxi cars and official cars of companies “help in moving”. All eggs in one basket, no one carries, so the delivery is in small batches, but in large quantities. To clean to police and city services “neutrals” and deliver exemplary order taxi services and transfers from each other. There is no shortage of people.

Briefly about other types of mafia: – Chinese mafia. This is a huge caste of people with a lot of traditions and some strange rituals. The hierarchy is complicated and is strongly tied to blood relations. Quite well are doing business with the Russian mafia, a lot of common interests. Very cruel and ruthless. But for them it is in the order of things, because in General a different mentality and they are difficult to understand. Unable to forgive the murder of someone from the basics, but the massacre of over a cook or a courier. The only one who deals with organ trafficking and slaves ( Yes, blacks are still slaves). – Jewish mafia. A complete set of stereotypes that they do not deny, and often even emphasize. There are quite a lot of immigrants from Ukraine and Russia, too, but they are usually one foreskin less than those in the Russian mafia. They are mainly engaged in Finance and everything connected with it. Black bookkeeping, money laundering, storage , contracts, arranging meetings. Often act as a third, “independent” party at the conclusion of contracts. But their main source of income is trading information, learn everything, everywhere and before anyone. – Italian mafia. They were still really little. They try to deal with weapons and drugs, but it turns out bad. Trying to learn to do more honest business and hospitality. They are often approached about the storage of goods as they have a lot of legal “nychek”. – Irish mafia. These are cool babies who are always fighting with someone. Along with the Russian mafia engaged in the supply of weapons. Everything about illegal alcohol goes through them. Very devout. St. Patrick’s day turns into a headache, because if they celebrate this holiday, then everyone around should celebrate this holiday. Failure is fraught with a lethal grudge and even serious arrangements may be under threat.

Why blacks are afraid to go to the Chinese and Russian areas?

Because they’re merchandise, I’m not trying to insult them, but they’re really expendable. Some kind of power is only in the ghetto, outside the territory-an empty place. All that we see in the movie about the black brotherhood and “blood” revenge blacks – nonsense. Protect each other only in the “civil” world, when it comes to other representatives of crime, it is easier for them to forget about the loss of a beloved brothersister. Almost every black person is in some kind of group. All, who refuses or wants to live honestly, immediately stigmatize a traitor and are beginning to poison. Blacks often lost on foreign soil. It sounds a little strange, but the Chinese love Negroes. They are tweeting to the authorities and taken into slavery. The funny thing is that black penises and eggs are very popular. They are really cut and make some magic potions / powders of folk medicine. The Chinese are obsessed with her.

Russians also ” use ” blacks, but a little differently

They experience different products of underground medicine and drug trafficking. Steroids, fake drugs, new drugs — all tested on black people. They’re actually tougher in that respect than our white brothers. But Russians also use blacks and Latinos in their contracts with the police. To “purchased” policeman remained in the right area and the right post – he needs the performance of detection. Therefore Russians often give them such rabble as a change coin. The plus is that black people always leak information about their gangs and families. They are ready on all for the sake of preserving the skins intact, even before the torture comes. Therefore, the harsh Negroes who keep silence under the soldering iron is completely a fiction of Hollywood. This information is a nice bonus, because you can intercept someone else’s “cargo” or find new suppliers.

The post A LITTLE ABOUT THE AMERICAN MAFIA IN THE UNITED STATES first appeared on Global Policy.

A demographic time bomb is a situation where there is a decrease in the working share of the population. To avoid this, 2.2 children per woman must be born, but the fertility rate in many developed countries has fallen below two. The effects could be mitigated by the influx of migrant workers, but those measures could not stop the crisis entirely if a large number of citizens went to work in other countries.

The USA fertility rate is reported to have fallen to a record low of 1.76, and life expectancy has reached 78.7 years. In some States, the cost of child care per year is up to ten thousand dollars, which is the reason for the refusal to give birth to children. The share of pensioners is growing, but the demographic bomb is slowed down by a large flow of migrants.

In Spain, the birth rate is 1.5 and the death rate is higher than the birth rate. The increase in the population occurs only at the expense of newcomers, and some villages almost completely extinct. Similar trends are observed in Italy, where people abandon a large number of children due to financial difficulties. The population of Bulgaria with an index of 1.46 is reduced from a record high a speed and it is expected that by 2050, it will reach 5.4 million people. In Latvia by that time there will be only 1.52 million people.

In Japan, the coefficient reaches 1.44, and in South Korea-1.26. In China, families are allowed to have two children instead of one, but even so, by 2030, a quarter of the population will be 60 years old (in 2010, only about 13 per cent of the population was old). Singapore has one of the lowest fertility rates (0.83), but the authorities plan to slow down the demographic bomb through immigration.

It is no coincidence that, according to a study by an independent nonpartisan group called the Public Campaign, in recent years 30 of the most important American corporations have spent more money on lobbying politicians than on Federal taxes. This feature is the basis of democracy in the style of fascism-shifter…

The onset of democracy in the style of fascism – сhangeling

Wednesday will mark the anniversary of the first democratic elections in the United States, held in 1789. During the second half of the last century, the United States turned from a people’s democracy into a democracy in the style of fascism-a shifter. Democracy in the style of fascism-shifter a new American system, as proclaimed by the Fathers of the Constitution of the American ideals are clearly contrary to modern real us policy.

ENDGAME. PROJECT GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT

The United States government can, of course, convince us all that it provides freedom and protection from injustice to every citizen. But, in fact, this government reveals all the most basic features of the fascist state: a one-party government, extreme economic inequality, a totalitarian police regime at home and militarism abroad, a very large-scale use of propaganda.

Political philosopher Sheldon Wolin (Sheldon Wolin) made a ruthless analysis of how the United States is increasingly becoming a totalitarian state. The US lives politically, creating a deceptive impression of a multi-party state. But don’t believe it. In fact, there is only one batch in the US. And this ruling party is a corporate-type party.

Elections offer the population two options for a single pre-prepared program: free market, neoliberal capitalism. Such a program is designed for the benefit of one elite at the expense of the majority: privatization of social services, freezing of salaries, unjustified dismissals and reduction of social security programs are strongly supported.

Adoption of the system in the style of fascism-Changeling in America did not require such strict policy measures, like voter fraud, the use of force to quell the unrest and violence. As a rule, fascism-shifter based on a policy of soft power and the illusion of choice.

The American state forces its citizens to choose between individuals, but not between real political alternatives. For example, all three candidates having the highest chances of becoming the next President of the United States inherited their political status through family: Jeb Bush, Rand Paul and Hillary Clinton.

Of the last 36 years, the Bush and Clinton clans can collectively occupy the White House for as long as 28 years. The gradual disappearance of ideological differences between the political positions of the main parties reflects the decline of the national democratic system.

In America, on the contrary, corporations have a strong influence on the state, although also in favor of a rich minority. It is no coincidence that, according to a study by an independent nonpartisan group called the Public Campaign, in recent years 30 of the most important American corporations have spent more money on lobbying politicians than on Federal taxes. This peculiarity is the basis of democracy in the style of fascism-a shifter: coercive measures of rigid statehood were replaced by a hidden coup, which led to a seemingly soft, imperceptible dictatorship of corporations.

The 400 richest Americans have more wealth than most of the combined 150 million Americans. It’s very simple: the US has proved that the free market and free elections simply cannot coexist. Electoral contributions from corporations become votes; thus, the poor are marginalized in the political process. Money becomes freedom of speech-and a gag in the mouth of the poor.

How can capitalism and democracy coexist if the former seeks to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few and the other seeks to share power and wealth among the members of the majority?

Organized greed always defeats unorganized democracy

Fascism of the 20th century perceived relations between people from the point of view of social Darwinism. The theory was to elevate the status of supposedly racially superior individuals and systematically weed out the weak. Historian William L. Shearer described in his works how Hitler outlawed trade unions, the right to strike and collective bargaining. German worker in the Third Reich was no different from the” industrial slave”, subordinate to his master-employer no less than the medieval peasants, dependent on their masters.

And the Republican and democratic groups of the United corporate party, which rules America, have just destroyed the trade unions and, at the same time, very “democratically” promoted and approved the idea of corporate welfare. In the system of democracy in the style of fascism-a shifter, the richest man in the United States, Warren Buffett, pays a real tax rate, which is several times lower than that paid by his Secretary. Like all fascist regimes in history, income in the US is considered private and individual, while losses and public debt are a public, public burden.

Domestic financial policy in the Spanish, Italian, German fascist regimes was based on the nationalization of production facilities and aimed at protecting the interests of the rich, politically influential elite. In the US, financial processes that allow the elite to strengthen its economic and political privileged status have been achieved in the opposite way, that is, through privatization. Private jets, private medical care, private elite schools and private security of property and people. Therefore, we should not be surprised that the elite American politicians, regardless of the faction, always see the regime of austerity and privatization as an unshakable basis for their financial policy.

The only question where there are no differences at all between the American fascist regime and the fascist regimes of the past is foreign policy burdened with a huge military budget. In 1933, Nazi Germany’s military expenditure was 2% of the national budget; by 1940, military expenditure was 44%.

Today, the US spends more on its military needs than the entire world combined. The United States expanded its military presence through 662 bases located around the world, according to data released by the Department of the Interior’s structural report on foreign bases in 2010.

The US is hiding behind self-defence to justify its military incursions. Similarly, Germany justified its military operations by the need to protect its racial superiority. Self-defense through assault or assault for self-defense? It does not matter, the result is still the same: excessively inflated armed forces that kill hundreds of thousands of people abroad, bring the nation itself to bankruptcy, because their maintenance costs billions.

Tools of fascism of the 20th century were obvious and frankly terrible: from public executions at Franco to references in Italy Mussolini

In 1945, President Truman ordered American bombers to drop two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, instantly killing 140,000 people. A terrible sight discovered after the clearing of the stone debris was shown on TV in American homes and responded to the public with an unprecedented political scandal. Charred bodies and destroyed Japanese family made us experts on the development of political strategies to create a more subtle weapon of mass destruction: sanctions.

In our time, American weapons have evolved perversely; new weapons are invisible and insidious, but no less deadly: they are either economic sanctions or drones or something like that.

Many Americans believe that drones (drones) and sanctions are a point and humane weapon. It is difficult to imagine more far from truth self-deception. All studies and reports agree that the guided missiles and drones have killed more children than terrorists. In addition, the UN believes that half a million Iraqi children died because of the sanctions of bill Clinton.

More innocent people have died from American sanctions than from all the nuclear, biological and chemical weapons ever used by humanity.

And at home, the Americans have to face another threat, which is becoming increasingly aggressive militarized: it is a growing police lawlessness. The most important criterion by which the emergence of a fascist regime can be determined is the state persecution of groups or persons on the basis of their social status or race. Today, the main attacks of the American police state are directed at Muslims.

Contrary to popular opinion, after the September 11 attack, right-wing radical terrorists, including white supremacists and Jewish extremists, killed many more people in the United States than people motivated by Muslim radical ideologies.

According to data at the disposal of the FBI, Muslims have committed only 6% of the total number of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States in recent decades. After September 11, the threat posed by the domestic Muslim community was deliberately exaggerated in order to spread the myth of the War on Terrorism. The results are well known: constant wars abroad, financed by corporations and costing many billions of dollars, and the gradual destruction of 200 years of civil freedom in the United States.

Without any doubt, American Muslims are exposed in their homeland fascist control system, not inferior in its debug even the East German spy network Stasi. The researcher Arun Kundnani proved that the FBI has one agent for every 94 Muslims living in the United States, which is very close to the Stasi figures (one agent for every 66 citizens).

In East Germany, the Stasi wanted people under their control to feel the oppressive power of surveillance and surveillance, because the emerging fear supported the political power of the Party. In America, the option of this tactic-style fascism-the shifter is to the vigilance of the public were euthanized, and the constant, pervasive control was invisible. There is also a very thin wall at risk, blocking the right of society to be free from government claims: the American government understands the potential risk of systematically restricting this right, so it prefers to observe its objects behind the scenes and under cover.

By actively developing a government program to improve covert surveillance of citizens, the Obama government finally strengthens the right to control Americans and, at the same time, deprives the public of the right to control their own government.

Propaganda is an indispensable tool for the establishment of democracy in the style of fascism-a shifter. Sheldon Wolin shrewdly observed that in the United States propaganda is represented by highly centralized media corporations, while in Nazi Germany it was exclusively under the strict control of the state. Thus, the illusion of a “free press”remains in America.

The American propaganda machine is extremely sophisticated

BEFORE OUR VERY EYES FAKE WARS AND BIG LIES FROM 9/11 TO DONALD TRUMP

It is not based on radio messages, speeches or leaflets distributed by the Nazi Ministry of Propaganda and public Education, on gross censorship, or on the open persecution of a free press by a Politburo. Propaganda carried out by order of “one percent” (super elite), invisible, but at the same time, almost ubiquitous. It relies not only on government brute force, but also on pop culture, Hollywood movies, mainstream art, and, of course, the media.

After all, the media form our speech, our language or semantic images. Subsequently, these images will determine our actions. Our speech is the logical core through which the public perceives the surrounding reality. Therefore, the one who controls the sources of our language and our speech also controls the sources of the collective consciousness of the society in which we live.

The corporate elites who run the editorial Board in the media control all of these sources. In 1983, the year 90% of American media was owned by 50 companies. Today, the same share belongs to 6 information giants. And that’s scary, because it only means one thing: six corporations across the country decide and dictate what to read, listen and watch to the American people.

Democracy in the style of fascism-Changeling – this is when you, of course, still recognizes freedom of speech, but the administration did not pay attention to you. “Imagine the press as a huge keyboard that the government can play on,” Joseph Goebbels, a Nazi propaganda Minister, once said.

In the Soviet Union, people were aware that only state propaganda could be read in Pravda, so they learned not to remember what they had to read. Many Americans believe that the WSJ, New York Times, CNN – reliable sources, despite numerous evidence to the contrary. How can we forget the high-profile articles published in these Newspapers about non-existent weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, how can we forget the unconditional support given by these Newspapers to the catastrophic invasion of Libya or the idea of supplying weapons to the Syrian rebels who later founded the Islamic State? And this is only an incomplete list of the constant lies preached by these seemingly reliable Newspapers.

The advantage of American propaganda is that it creates the appearance of impartiality, allowing the presence of different opinions only in minor matters. But when it comes to these functionally important for the privileged classes of corporate issues like tax inequality, or war for the enrichment of the elite, mass media is characterized by remarkable unanimity. Instilling that” socialism“,” Marxism “and” communism ” are prohibited items, the ruling elite has successfully outlawed any mention of class reforms and democratic choice.

In the terminology of the fascist shifter, corporations are people. Drones are flying machines controlled from a distance. Torture is enhanced interrogation. Conquest is liberation.

Unlike traditional fascism, the American system of control does not seek to mobilize the population, but to lull its vigilance

As Noam Chomsky pointed out, American propaganda works at a very deep level of suggestion, its behavioral and value models are fully accepted by the population, sometimes even subconsciously, its presence within society is never captured.

Life, as living from moment to moment, in a state of democracy in the style of fascism-shifter consists of alternating States of boredom, stress and acute consumer distraction. Americans are increasingly immersed in reality shows and sensor technology only to escape reality.

Americans voted for American Idol finalists more actively than for any candidate in any presidential race. Separation from reality is increasingly replacing reality itself. History has shown that elections in a distorted electoral system can not lead to the correct, opposite to the system itself, the result. 226 years have passed since the first democratic elections in America. Today, real democracy has finally died, and its place was taken by fascism-a shifter.
