Quiet Fascism has no purpose other than to aggregate more power,
maintain its secrets and lay waste to anyone who questions its Imperial
authority.
So my little-visited Wikipedia entry was minding its own business,
not bothering anyone, until I dared to criticize the Clinton Foundation.
The next day, my Wikipedia entry was taken out and shot by a mysterious
"editor." It was just coincidence, right, that my Wikipedia entry
had been available for years without offending anyone, and then suddenly
it's deleted the day after I dared to criticize the Clinton Foundation.
Actually, I criticized all foundations, but that doesn't matter; what mattered is that I criticized what cannot be criticized.
I guess that drone strike on my car was coincidence, too. I called a contact in DoD (Department of Defense) and he said it was logged as a "targeting error." Of course.
Ok, so the drone strike is a "joke," meaning it's no joke to the
thousands of people who are murdered by U.S. drone strikes outside the
U.S. It's a "joke" like Hillary Clinton asking if Wikileaks honcho
Julian Assange could be eliminated by a drone strike so he could no
longer release data that might embarrass her or her campaign.
Though it's not yet illegal to ask questions, it's certainly dangerous to do so. But let's take a chance and ask: how do we know that drone strikes haven't targeted critics of U.S. policy?
Do you really think the DoD, White House, CIA, NSA or State Department
would admit that drones liquidated a "threat" whose "crime" was
criticizing U.S. policies? I hope you're not so naive as to believe
official assurances that drones only kill people who were just about to
blow up Baltimore, only we nailed them just in time.
With "threat" being defined by those in authority, what's to stop
those with power from rewarding their cronies and punishing their
critics? This is the essence of quiet fascism.
Quiet fascism has no party affiliation; it is a mindset
shared by both parties that views power as a tool to reward friends and
punish enemies. It has no moral foundation or indeed, no purpose other
than to aggregate more power, maintain its secrets and lay waste to
anyone who questions its Imperial authority.
This is the mindset of the Clinton machine. Intimidate, threaten, bribe, do whatever it takes to silence those who ask questions or release answers to unwanted questions.
The entire Establishment has been bought off, seduced or intimidated into silence. I
wonder what was said to FBI Director Comey to persuade him to soil
himself and the legitimacy of the FBI. It must have been a doozy.
Is quiet fascism so petty as to delete a critic's Wikipedia entry? The depressing answer is yes, it is; the pettiness of quiet fascism knows no bounds. Recall what Amy Sterling Casil said about the Clinton Foundation's penchant for revenge: "Any
nonprofit professional in the U.S. can look at the Foundation’s own
statements, tax filings and financial reports and see there is something
wrong. No one who works for a nonprofit right now should do so because
of the Clinton penchant for revenge..."
In other words, critics pay a steep price for questioning authority. Your
grant is mysteriously denied, your promotion deep-sixed, your security
clearance cancelled, your name is besmirched by rumors, your tax records
are audited, your servers hacked, and so on.
The weapons of quiet fascism are always plausibly deniable.
The Jack Ruby Gambit is a classic tool of quiet fascism. It
wasn't us who did those nasty things to you; it was a loyal cadre who
took it upon himself to destroy your files, reputation, career, etc. on
his own.
Quiet fascism erodes the legitimacy of critics and snuffs out inquiries that threaten those in authority. So
we have the FBI debasing itself, the White House lending its authority
to cover up what needs covering up, mainstream media ignoring inquiries
and leaked documents, and so on.
Hillary Clinton is not an aberration; she is the perfection of quiet fascism:authority's sole source of legitimacy is its power to reward toadies and punish critics.
Many people are voting against someone in this election, generally Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Rather than vote against a person, vote against quiet fascism, which means voting against both parties, which are after all two sides of the same coin.
There aren't many places you can question authority and not pay a price for doing so.The
voting booth is still confidential (so far as we know). A vote for the
Green Party or the Libertarian Party is not wasted; it's a vote against
the quiet fascism of the American Establishment.
Speaking of quiet fascism, here's a question for Wikipedia: what safeguards do you have in place to stop quiet fascists from pursuing their penchant for revenge on Wikipedia?What's to stop quiet fascism from using Wikipedia as their playground?
I have contributed money to Wikipedia for many years, and as a
contributor and user, I think my readers and I deserve an answer. Who is
this "editor" who deleted my entry? What's the foundation of his
authority? Can he be investigated and his "editor" rights deleted? If
not, why not?
It's a fair question and deserves a fair answer.
