and similarities to Nazi Germany are also many
with certain stark differences, to be sure
man, I aint stupid, only honest with a knife-like tongue and eagle-eyed vision of problems
which is not clouded by requirements to be nice and sugarcoat

similarities:
- printing money at absurd meteoric rate... money supply growth is 50% since 1997, I believe... annualized MZM growth is now 10% (I think I said 20%)... in response to 1989 S&L bank problem, we printed money, a lot of it... in response to 1994 Mexican Peso problem, we printed money, a lot of it... in response to 1997 Asian Meltdown problem, we didnt print much money, and let our Asian friends die... in response to 1998 Russian debt default problem, we printed money, a lot of it... in response to the expected 1999 Y2K Snafu problem, we printed money, a lot of it... in response to 2000 stock collapse problem, we printed money, a lot of it... in response to 2001 World Trade attack and associated financial market and security problems, we printed money, a lot of it... in response to 2002-2003 economic malaise problem, we printed money, a lot of it... in response to 2003 Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction problem, we printed money, a lot of it... I think you can see the similarity more clearly now

- national leaders place much of the blame on external sources, rather than looking with honesty and precision at internal problems... our support of Israel and enormous military supply to them, coupled with looking the other way when they bomb apartment buildings and create settlements on the West Bank have enraged Arabs... the result fed the motives for WTC attack (not justifying, only examining motives)... we look to slack consumer demand and slack business investment (external view within USA) instead of staggering rise in debt... our banking leader disavows responsiblity for creating a bubble, with lies on productivity to justify the rise in stock prices, instead of honestly admitting our speculative mania

- trade tariffs have come back in vogue since 2001, which only hurt our neighbors and ourselves... a parallel to Germany invading its immediate neighbors... what was done in the past with men and machines marching across borders is now done with coerced recycling of trade surplus to finance debt, and done with trade tariffs and other block barriers

- military adventurism in order to solve problems

I am tired of this

open your eyes
I dont mean for this to be insulting or an attack
I am totally totally fed up with personal dishonesty and reluctance to take hard honest looks at the real picture

when we see Patriot I bill's effects felt more widely on personal rights and freedoms, then we will make the final shitty steps toward a fascist state... in fact, I believe Nixon's court did just that, easing the "probable cause" threshold for search & seizure (thanks, Rehnquist)... the Patriot II bill is being floated around now... it will ease indiscriminant searches of personal files, exact penalties to employers for informing any employee, allow for revocation of citizenship to individuals suspected (not proved) to aid, abet, harbor terrorists or their groups' financing

do you catch my drift, my man???

when we open Moslem interment camps, will that convince you?
when freedoms are gone, will that convince you?
we are walking backward in legal time

hyperbole is the main device for slapping sleeping people awake
sorry, but if you dont like my style, dont read my writing
but I will bet dollars to donuts that you learn from reading my pasty ranted drivel

I gave up empathy and tact for LENT
