[...] One of the most valuable sources of
information on Hitler's own thinking is
a man named Herman Rauschning.
Rauschning was one of the earliest
adherents to the Nazi Party, joining in
1926. He soon became one of Hitler's most
trusted colleagues and confidants, and was
made President of the Danzig Senate in 1933.
By 1935, however, he had become genuinely
alarmed at what was happening in Germany,
and he fled, first to Switzerland, and then
to the United States. Deeming it essential
to warn the world about the Third Reich,
he published, in the years immediately prior
to the war, two books in which he recounted
much of Hitler's own conversation. From
numerous extracts in Rauschning, it is
apparent that Hitler knew full well what he
was doing, and that the activation of the
religious impulse in the German people was
part of a meticulously calculated design.
Paraphrasing Hitler, Rauschning says,
'He had made the masses frantic, he
explained, in order to fashion them into
instruments of his policy. He had awakened
the masses. He had lifted them out of
themselves, and had given them meaning
and a function.' [...]

WHAT IS CONSCIOUSNESS?
http://research.utu.fi/ccn/projects/consciousness.html
[(From an article by Ron Suskind in the New York Times)]:
"In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in
Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former
communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting
with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's
displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I
didn't fully comprehend -- but which I now believe gets to the
very heart of the Bush presidency.
"The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the
reality-based community,' which he defined as people who
'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of
discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about
enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off.
'That's not the way the world really works anymore,'
he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we
create our own reality. And while you're studying that
reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating
other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how
things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of
you, will be left to just study what we do.'"

Now back to the "Godly" ....
Subject: Marriage, according to the bible and Government
Subject: Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to Defend
Biblical Marriage
As certain politicians work diligently to prevent marriage
between two people of the same sex, others have been busy
drafting a Constitutional Amendment codifying all marriages
entirely on Biblical principles. After all, God wouldn't want
us to "pick and choose" which of the Scriptures we elevate
to civil law and which we choose to ignore:
Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to Defend
Biblical Marriage:
*1 Marriage in the United States of America
shall consist of a union between one man and one
or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5.)
*2 Marriage shall not impede a man's right to
take concubines in addition to his wife or wives.
(II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)
*3 A marriage shall be considered valid only
if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a
virgin, she shall be executed.(Deut 22:13-21)
*4 Marriage of a believer and a non-believer
shall be forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12;
Neh 10:30, 2Cor 6:14)
*5 Since marriage is for life, neither the
US Constitution nor any state law shall permit
divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9-12)
*6 If a married man dies without children, his
brother must marry the widow. If the brother refuses
to marry the widow, or deliberately does not give her
children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be
otherwise punished in a manner to be determined
by law. (Gen. 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)
*7 In lieu of marriage (if there are no acceptable
men to be found), a woman shall get her father drunk
and have sex with him. (Gen 19:31-36)
I hope this helps to clarify the finer details
of the Government's righteous struggle against the
infidels and heathens among us.
++++++++++
Logical conclusion:
Back to the Bible! might as well go all the way back
to Genesis where God says - I have given you every herb
of the field for your use .... (we wouldn't want to pick
and choose, would we?) which brings us full circle back
to ... Bush's "Christian" Blood Cult??!

Fascism Anyone?
[Excerpt] by Laurence W. Britt
http://secularhumanism.org/library/fi/britt_23_2.htm
Analysis of these seven regimes reveals fourteen
common threads that link them in recognizable patterns
of national behavior and abuse of power. These basic
characteristics are more prevalent and intense in some
regimes than in others, but they all share at least
some level of similarity.
1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism.
From the prominent displays of flags and bunting to the
ubiquitous lapel pins, the fervor to show patriotic
nationalism, both on the part of the regime itself and
of citizens caught up in its frenzy, was always obvious.
Catchy slogans, pride in the military, and demands for
unity were common themes in expressing this nationalism.
It was usually coupled with a suspicion of things
foreign that often bordered on xenophobia.
2. Disdain for the importance of human rights.
The regimes themselves viewed human rights as of little
value and a hindrance to realizing the objectives of
the ruling elite. Through clever use of propaganda, the
population was brought to accept these human rights
abuses by marginalizing, even demonizing, those being
targeted. When abuse was egregious, the tactic was to
use secrecy, denial, and disinformation.
3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying
cause. The most significant common thread among these
regimes was the use of scapegoating as a means to
divert the people's attention from other problems, to
shift blame for failures, and to channel frustration
in controlled directions. The methods of choice --
relentless propaganda and disinformation--were usually
effective. Often the regimes would incite 'spontaneous'
acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists,
socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities,
traditional national enemies, members of other religions,
secularists, homosexuals, and 'terrorists.'
Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled
as terrorists and dealt with accordingly.
4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism.
Ruling elites always identified closely with the
military and the industrial infrastructure that
supported it. A disproportionate share of national
resources was allocated to the military, even when
domestic needs were acute. The military was seen as
an expression of nationalism, and was used whenever
possible to assert national goals, intimidate other
nations, and increase the power and prestige of the
ruling elite.
5. Rampant sexism. Beyond the simple fact that the
political elite and the national culture were male-
dominated, these regimes inevitably viewed women as
second-class citizens. They were adamantly
anti-abortion and also homophobic. These attitudes
were usually codified in Draconian laws that enjoyed
strong support by the orthodox religion of the
country, thus lending the regime cover for its abuses.
6. A controlled mass media. Under some of the regimes,
the mass media were under strict direct control and could
be relied upon never to stray from the party line.
Other regimes exercised more subtle power to ensure
media orthodoxy. Methods included the control of licensing
and access to resources, economic pressure, appeals to
patriotism, and implied threats. The leaders of the mass
media were often politically compatible with the power
elite. The result was usually success in keeping the
general public unaware of the regimesl excesses.
7. Obsession with national security. Inevitably, a
national security apparatus was under direct control
of the ruling elite. It was usually an instrument of
oppression, operating in secret and beyond any constraints.
Its actions were justified under the rubric of protecting
'national security,' and questioning its activities was
portrayed as unpatriotic or even treasonous.
8. Religion and ruling elite tied together. Unlike
communist regimes, the fascist and protofascist regimes
were never proclaimed as godless by their opponents.
In fact, most of the regimes attached themselves to the
predominant religion of the country and chose to portray
themselves as militant defenders of that religion.
The fact that the ruling elitels behavior was incompatible
with the precepts of the religion was generally swept
under the rug. Propaganda kept up the illusion that the
ruling elites were defenders of the faith and opponents
of the 'godless.' A perception was manufactured that
opposing the power elite was tantamount to an attack
on religion.
9. Power of corporations protected. Although the personal
life of ordinary citizens was under strict control, the
ability of large corporations to operate in relative
freedom was not compromised. The ruling elite saw the
corporate structure as a way to not only ensure military
production (in developed states), but also as an additional
means of social control. Members of the economic elite were
often pampered by the political elite to ensure a continued
mutuality of interests, especially in the repression of
'have-not' citizens.
10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated. Since organized
labor was seen as the one power center that could challenge
the political hegemony of the ruling elite and its corporate
allies, it was inevitably crushed or made powerless.
The poor formed an underclass, viewed with suspicion or
outright contempt. Under some regimes, being poor was
considered akin to a vice.
11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts.
Intellectuals and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression
associated with them were anathema to these regimes.
Intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to
national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities were
tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed
or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were
strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed. To these regimes, art
and literature should serve the national interest or they had
no right to exist.
12. Obsession with crime and punishment. Most of these regimes
maintained Draconian systems of criminal justice with huge
prison populations. The police were often glorified and had
almost unchecked power, leading to rampant abuse. 'Normal' and
political crime were often merged into trumped-up criminal
charges and sometimes used against political opponents of the
regime. Fear, and hatred, of criminals or =F4traitors=F6 was often
promoted among the population as an excuse for more police power.
13. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Those in business circles
and close to the power elite often used their position to
enrich themselves. This corruption worked both ways; the power
elite would receive financial gifts and property from the
economic elite, who in turn would gain the benefit of government
favoritism. Members of the power elite were in a position to
obtain vast wealth from other sources as well: for example,
by stealing national resources. With the national security
apparatus under control and the media muzzled, this corruption
was largely unconstrained and not well understood by the
general population.
14. Fraudulent elections. Elections in the form of plebiscites
or public opinion polls were usually bogus. When actual
elections with candidates were held, they would usually be
perverted by the power elite to get the desired result.
Common methods included maintaining control of the election
machinery, intimidating and disenfranchising opposition
voters, destroying or disallowing legal votes, and, as a last
resort, turning to a judiciary beholden to the power elite.
Does any of this ring alarm bells? Of course not. After all,
this is America, officially a democracy with the rule of law,
a constitution, a free press, honest elections, and a
well-informed public constantly being put on guard against
evils. Historical comparisons like these are just exercises
in verbal gymnastics. Maybe, maybe not.

HITLER & SCHWARZENEGGER AS BEAST-MEN
- by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
This statement was issued on Oct. 4 by the candidate's
Presidential political committee, LaRouche in 2004.
Many Californians and others have found it difficult to
explain how and why Hollywood geek-act Arnold Schwarzenegger
could have become so suddenly a prominent contender in an
impromptu race for Governor. They have been caught off guard
by Schwarzenegger, because they never really understood how
Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. They have overlooked
the fact that Schwarzenegger was chosen for politics because
he is in real life, the unhuman beast-man whose role has
been his most lucrative Hollywood screen-role. They do not
understand what fascism really was, and is.
Schwarzenegger was thought of as only the kind of actor whose
natural talent was giving Narcissus a bad name, for a
co-starring role in real-life sleazy peep-shows,
on-oroff-stage. If they liked his movies, it was because they
liked the smell that reeks around dirty peep-shows. How did
he suddenly get into politics? Schwarzenegger was never really
an actor, not a political thinker; he was, like the worst of
his film characters, essentially a freak: a "Freddie," a
"Jason" from "Friday the Thirteenth."
Hitler, too, was a freak, a bizarre, predatory beast from the
pages of Satan-cultist Friedrich Nietzsche. It was his success
in training as an actor, that Hitler was trained to play the
theatrical role through which he campaigned for and became the
beast-man dictator of Germany.
Schwarzenegger was selected because his training for film-acting
had produced a type who fit the essentially Satanic, "beast-man"
role played by leading fascists such as Benito Mussolini,
Adolf Hitler, Francisco Franco, and so on. He was another such
"Dionysos" from the pages of Friedrich Nietzsche's wild rants.
The role Schwarzenegger was selected to perform on the California
political stage was a Hollywood "remake" of a kind of evil which
modern history has met in leading figures of France's Jacobin
Terror, in Napoleon Bonaparte, and in each of the whole pack of
leading fascist figures from the 1922-1945 interval.
The origin of those political figures in what has become known as
the fascist tradition, is an exotic freemasonic cult known
originally as the Martinists, which was used by a relevant network
of private bankers to launch the French Revolution and the tyranny
of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was the same Martinist cult, known
during the Twentieth Century as the Synarchist International,
which created the fascist beast-man figures of the 1922-1945
interval, and has produced a new batch of Synarchist figures,
including the U.S. neo-conservatives and Arnold
Schwarzenegger today.
Schwarzenegger, like Hitler, is set apart in a certain way from
more ordinary neo-conservatives such as Wolfowitz, Lewis Libby,
and so on. Those neo-conservatives are beastly in their own way,
but they lack that exotic appeal implied by the term charisma.
Hitler was developed as a figure of charisma. Schwarzenegger has
been transformed to similar effect, by Hollywood productions.
Transformed from a sleaze-ball sex-freak of the body-builder
sweat parlors, into a figure of charisma of a special kind:
the charisma of the beast-man.
There is nothing really mysterious about the quality of
charisma as represented by the images of Arnold Schwarzenegger
or the Hitler who is his original role-model. The street name
for Hitler's and Arnie's charisma, is fear, the mystical
impression that this is a man to be feared, awfully feared.
According to the original doctrine of the beast-man developed
by Martinists such as Joseph de Maistre, fear of such predatory
tyrants is not the fear of the power they are believed to
represent, but the kind of wild irrationality associated with
Roman Caesars such as Caligula or Nero; or that image of the
Spanish Inquisition which the Martinists admired.
In short, select geek-act-artist Schwarzenegger to play a role
like that a Caligula, Nero, Mussolini, or Hitler, on the
living-theater stage of improvisatory real politics. Draw upon
the pro-Hitler imageries which that actor had acquired from his
family household and other elements of his surroundings, and
then make the state of California the stage on which he is
cast to act out that role.
The relevant lesson to be learned from the current situation in
Iraq, is that neo-conservatives such as the fascists
Vice-President Cheney, Richard Perle, Donald Rumsfeld,
Paul Wolfowitz, and so on and so on, are not exactly geniuses.
Their power lies not in the development of their mental powers,
but in their lack of morals or rationality. Their power lies in
their disposition to act in ways no sane and moral person would
do. Their appeal lies entirely in the fear they instill because
of the part they are disposed to play, in whatever roles,
on-oroff-stage, they are cast.
