Which part of this is unclear to you?
With every passing day, the Obama Administration more closely resembles the fascist regimes of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Underneath all of Obama's promissory rhetoric lies a policy of unlimited support for the parasitic financier class, while savagely gouging the middle and lower economic strata.
That this is the policy advocated by the financier elite should be no surprise: Wall Street helped the Brutish Empire create both Hitler and Mussolini, and funded a fascist movement in the U.S.—the American Liberty League and its satellites—in the 1930s, as elements of an attempt to create a world fascist movement. This fascist cabal even tried to organize a coup against President Franklin Roosevelt in 1934. That coup fortunately failed, and FDR defeated the fascists, both foreign and domestic. But the victory was only temporary.
We have repeatedly identified this grouping as the American wing of the Anglo-Dutch Liberal financier oligarchy, centered in the City of London and operated through a worldwide system of central banks, private financial institutions, and corporate cartels. It is more commonly known as the British Empire.
Today, these imperial fascists are attempting another coup. After decades of financial deregulation and corporate cartelization, they have amassed great wealth and power, to the point that they dominate both the financial system and the Federal government. They are now using their power to run the greatest criminal swindle in history—the Wall Street bailouts—while using the financial crisis to gut what remains of the productive economy.
They were the power behind Bush and Cheney, and they are the power behind Obama. Thus, it should be no surprise that on the major policy issues—led by the financial crisis, the war in Southwest Asia, and the police state—the Obama policies are essentially the same. Obama, the man we elected to reverse the Bush disaster, is turning out to be just another fascist front-man, accelerating the collapse instead of halting it.
Globalization
The major issue facing the world today is the drive by the financier oligarchy to destroy the nation-state system, and return the world to imperial rule. They intend to use the financial crisis to force that change. Virtually everything the Obama Administration has done, has weakened the nation and strengthened the oligarchy.
On financial policy, Obama has supported moves toward global, rather than national, regulation and oversight. He has endorsed the British plan to turn the International Monetary Fund into a supranational regulator able to issue its own money. He has used U.S. taxpayer money to bail out the speculative bets of both U.S. and foreign banks, and has allowed the banks to virtually dictate financial regulatory policy. After the phony stress tests, banks which are insolvent are not only allowed to remain open, but encouraged to sell more shares to the public, adding fraud upon fraud. The speculators are being protected, while the general public is looted.
Everywhere we turn, the parasites are proposing Orwellian "reforms" to fix the system, which actually make things worse. The high-sounding Committee on Capital Markets Regulation, for example, just issued its "plan for regulatory reform," which is actually a call to head off reforms. It calls for more global "coordination," recommends against a return to the FDR-era Glass-Steagall law, which separated commercial banking from investment banking, and defends the derivatives markets, including credit default swaps. That is not reform, it is surrender, a surrender of national sovereignty. The Treasury's plan to "regulate" over-the-counter derivatives is little more than a scheme to protect the monopoly of the big derivatives banks, and is based upon a proposal submitted by Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase, Barclays, and Crédit Suisse! Goldman Sachs is also a major player in the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation.
To pay for all of this, the Obama Administration is considering implementing a value-added tax (VAT), or national sales tax, of the sort common in the oligarchy-controlled nations of Europe. Such a tax is, by intent, hugely regressive, falling hardest on those who can afford it least. Advocates of the tax claim that the proceeds could be used to pay for health care and other benefits, but that argument is a fraud. The real purpose of the tax would be to loot the population and weaken the nation, hastening its collapse: yet more fascism.
The restructuring of the auto sector, under the guise of "saving" General Motors and Chrysler, is more of the same. What is really being rescued are the fictitious values of the debts of these companies, and the derivatives piled upon them. Chrysler is being turned over to Fiat, while GM has stated that it will increase its sales in the U.S.—of cars it builds elsewhere. What is playing out is really the globalization of the auto sector, under the supervision of bankers associated with Felix Rohatyn's Lazard, a bank with a sordid history of assaulting America on behalf of the financier oligarchy. We have a former Lazard banker, Steve Rattner, serving as Obama's auto czar; Lazard bankers advising the United Autoworkers; and former Lazard banker Jim Millstein, as the senior restructuring officer at Treasury. Add to that Lazard's historic role advising the Agnelli family of Fiat, and the true nature of the "auto rescue" becomes obvious.
With every step, the Obama Administration is furthering globalization, which itself is a policy designed to replace the nation-state with financier-run corporate cartels, which control the world by controlling the production and distribution of essential goods and materials. Step by step, the empire is tightening its grip over the world's population, for the purpose of dramatically reducing not only the number of people, but also their ability to defend themselves against imperial designs.
Defend Sovereignty
At the Bilderberger meeting in 1968, Lehman Brothers banker and senior Establishment figure George W. Ball outlined a plan to replace the "archaic" nation-state with what he called the "world company." The scheme was explicitly Malthusian, based upon the claim that the world's resources were too limited to be trusted to mere nations, which are too often swayed by domestic concerns, such as the general welfare. Instead, the idea was that these resources should be managed by global corporations, which would administer them in ways which maximized imperial control and profit. That "world company" scheme was implemented, and today is known as "globalization." Both terms are mere euphemisms for imperialism.
It might seem to some that these oligarchs are far too powerful to defeat, but, in truth, the financial crisis has made them highly vulnerable to a counterattack of national sovereignty. The empire is bankrupt, its parasitic looting policies—a.k.a., "the bubble"—having destroyed the global economy, and is now dependent upon the U.S. and other nations to cover its losses. If we were to quit bailing it out, and instead put its financial markets and institutions into bankruptcy protection, the empire would collapse, and the world would be free to begin rebuilding.
Lyndon LaRouche has laid out the policies needed to save humanity, via his Homeowners and Bank Protection Act, a return to sovereign credit policies, and a Four-Power agreement among the U.S., Russia, China, and India, to form a united front against the British Empire. The question is: Will the people of the U.S. find the will to act, and set the example for the world? We are headed into fascism, under a President who has adopted explicitly Nazi policies. We have seen this before, and it does not end well. We must stop it, now.

I have copied John's work here in the hope that a few more people might read it and think about it. God-willing, it might even seep out into the world in the form of some constructive decision-making or action.

First Victim of Nazi Law in Washington State
On Thursday, Linda Fleming, a 66-year-old woman with pancreatic cancer, committed suicide under the new assisted suicide law which was approved in Washington State in November. The announcement of her death was made by the group, Compassion & Choices of Washington, which had campaigned for the law, which is modelled on a 1997 law which went into effect in Oregon. The law in Washington went into effect on March 5, 2009.
Compassion and Choices was in the coalition of groups led by the Death With Dignity National Center that pushed for passage of the Washington State law. The Death With Dignity National Center has received grants directly from the Open Society Institute of Nazi collaborator George Soros.
Under the Obama Administration Nazi health-cost reduction plan, more such deaths can be anticipated, as assisted suicide is far less costly than adequate medical treatment. In fact, in 1998 Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel--brother of Obama's chief of staff and currently tasked by Peter Orszag to draw up a list of permitted cost-cutting medical procedures--co-authrored with Margaret Battin, an article entitled "What are the Potential Cost Savings from Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide?" In 1992, Battin had written another article entitled "Assisted Suicide: Can We Learn From Germany?"
Under the Death with Dignity Act in Washington State, the state Department of Health is required to run a website to track the number of patients who request and use the medication. This morning, the website reported that at least five people in the state have requested the medication, and that the medication has been dispensed at least six times. In Oregon state, about 400 people have used the law passed there 12 years ago to commit suicide.
If Obama's Nazi medical policy is not defeated, such laws will proliferate throughout the nation, and the pressure to use such laws will accelerate for the stated purpose of saving trillions of dollars under conditions of financial and economic breakdown.

How about Congress giving some of "the medication" to the dead investment banks! They appear alive only because of "creative" accounting methods which count as "assets" a bunch of nonsense dreamed-up by insane greedy clever idiots. We NEED the chartered community banks and international banking/trade. But the transnational mega-financiers are LITERALLY KILLING US and it can only get worse until more and more people can understand this simple fact.
They and such as mega-financier insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies have no human decency. They must be controlled by law. They are very dangerous beasts. They (of course) do not want to be controlled. They subvert, or try to, ALL THAT IS GOOD AND DECENT in order not to be controlled.
What part of that don't you understand?

Obama's Useless Eaters Healthcare Program
During the past days, President Barack Obama has announced his intention to enact a health-care policy which is, in effect, a copy of the infamous Adolf Hitler proclamation of September 1939 on the subject of "lives not worthy to be lived." The recent announcements by President Obama are the most extreme step in the direction of Hitler-like fascist dictatorship we have heard from him so far.
This insanity is not merely the product of his own personal idiosyncrasies. These are the policies of the "Behavioral" psychologists around Peter Orszag, and the direction of the economic and other policies of Larry Summers, and those of the brothers Rahm and Ezekiel Emanuel.
That team of his close personal advisors, such as Summers, Orszag, and Rahm and Ezekiel Emanuel, damn well mean the words which Obama has spoken in this case. They have spelled it out in terms of the policies on which the Obama Administration is already acting. Obama's words are not just words; they are the actual content of the policies which are being expressed in action by those so-called advisors.
Do not be fooled about all of our citizens. The revolt against Obama's direction is building up at an accelerating rate outside of occupied DC, and behind doors where potent political circles meet. You will not see it accurately reflected on TV! Only the foolish, creeps, and cowards among us are refusing to see what is going on.
More and more of the veterans of the cause of the sane and sensible have not only recognized the voice of September 1939 Adolf Hitler in Obama's words; some recall, vividly, what those words from Hitler meant and manifested during the years 1939-1945.
It will not be long before those evil words from President Obama's mouth will acquire an irreversible effect in the same direction as Hitler's similar words did before: unless President Obama is impelled, not only to repudiate them very soon, but to dump those elements within his own administration who are the current filthy paws and claws of this copy of Adolf Hitler's policy of genocide.
It is past time for those who have been "dragging their feet" for Obama on this issue, either to honor, or tear up, their fraudulent tokens of membership in the human race.
Obama must repudiate his presently stated "wealthy-care, not health-care," Hitler-like policy now, not merely with words, but by action.
Find on YouTube, "Obama's Useless Eaters Program" Equating these policies with Hitler's is not hyperbole.
also, search - Obama health "May 11" - and shake off the cobwebs of inaction.
Amy Goodman of Democracy now has just done a fine (relatively short) interview: ...five doctors, nurses and single-payer advocates were arrested at a Senate Finance Committee hearing, bringing the total number of arrests in less than a week to thirteen. She speaks with two of those arrested: Single Payer Action founder Russell Mokhiber and Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program. Check out how people with knowledge, morality, respect for human beings, and courage look the Beast in the eye and take action.
