MUSSOLINI AND PEROT | 2008-06-12

Rome just elected a "former fascist," -- Shades of David Duke! -- Violently anti-immigration -- mayor by a clear majority of 54%. Cities are normally the centers of anti-nationalism. During Hitler's rise, Berlin was known as "Red Berlin."

Few who praise 1930s Germans realize how many of them were hard-core Communists.

Rome may BE a holdout. After breakouts of violence against Gypsies a poll found that 68% of the population wanted them all thrown out of Italy.

Like France, Italy now has a head of state who is libertarian and pro-Bush. He takes the usual line, "To hell with Italians (the French!), labor is labor!"

At the beginning of the twenties Italians were so frustrated with the national government THEY HAD ELECTED that they marched on Rome and put Mussolini in power. That was when Germany had its first Jewish, Social Democratic, heads of state (sound familiar!)

The German establishment paid no attention to Italy, and guess who ended up in power THERE?

As I have pointed out before, Mussolini almost missed the March on Rome. He had said in a speech that Italians should march on Rome and throw the bastards out. He was caught completely by surprise when Italians took him up on it.

If MUSSOLINI was caught by surprise, you can imagine how totally unaware of the real world the government and media in ROME were.

This reminds me of Perot, who mentioned on the least watched talk show on cable that he would be willing to be president, and suddenly had a clear plurality over both major party candidates.

Perot was no Mussolini. He quit the race because some people threatened to disrupt his daughter's wedding. Nobody wanted him handling threats of nuclear war.

But our media, like the government in Rome in the 1920s, just concentrated on what a loon Perot was and forgot the LESSON because they WANTED to.

So do we.

I recall that, following Perot's announcement, a wall of media voices came forward, virtually all of them describing him as - literally - "Mussolini."

That he was able to draw such support, in so short a period of time, says something They Who Rule did not feel comfortable seeing.

Suppose someone with the charisma of a young James Garner came forward, and articulated policies in line with Perot's thinking, which was really updated Progressive Party stuff, a la Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party?

Perot's money, updated Progressivism, and a young James Garner...

I've been thinking about this in my work with my nephews, and the lectures they will be giving in the Young Adult Bible Study starting in July.

Yes, I have.

What really happens is that the stress just gets to the breaking point,as they regularly do in our personal lives, but these irruptions of stressors that generate storms of public reactivity happen all the time and the MSM traffics in them.

But I have never personally seen a collection of stressors that generate what I would consider a case of heartfelt and enduring offense even though I have seen some very angry mobs.

It's that slow burn stuff where resentment builds on the QT that really does the trick, with the government relentlessly not knowing when its time to back off.

As BW says the MACHINE is just too solid, with a very good track record of successfully attenuating the stressors in America.

But sometimes I think that is actually in our favor.

Here's something I don't understand. Yes, I know who ended up in power in Germany. But that failed. At least, as far as we know.

in reply to Dave:

The unexpected moment of critical mass is worthy of consideration. The marketing guys have become a lot more sophisticated in developing demographic early warning systems. That the High Command ignores them is a function of greed narrowing the consciousness.

Take the Militia Movement back in the Eighties.

That was a REAL Movement, spontaneous, self-organizing, and trapped in the pursuit of a past that never really was.

It caught everyone off guard at how quickly it spread, and this was because it organized outside the gatekeepers - shortwave and CB radio.

They were thrown to the wolves, economically, and this was a natural outgrowth of FAMILIES losing farms they had worked for generations. When they realized the magnitude of the Game being rigged against them, they adopted archaic forms, and engaged in the formation of a libertarian mutual aid society.

The government will tolerate exercises in anarchy up to a point, and that point is ALWAYS when people begin to realize it is possible to successfully challenge the government's monopoly on governance.

THEN, the Hammer comes down.

Now, to apply this, in part, to the present situation:

My demographic nightmare was Mexico becoming a de jure failed state, and EVERYONE heading for the American border, knowing that a "Camp of the Saints" scenario would work, particuarly with all of the American troops being overseas.

We are a LOT closer to that than many realize, with the Elite families of Tijuana fleeing their - mark these words, you'll see them again - WALLED family compounds and GATED communities.

They are fleeing to San Diego, and the demography of Hongcouver might start to play itself out in San Diego, with a much more powerful, violent, Mexican underclass.

What is happening is the most important moment in Mexican demography in almost a century, when everyone that could make Northern Mexico a civilized country heads for America, and are followed by THEIR version of our Faithful Colored Companions, the Mestizo underclass.

The Mexican government was no more prepared for this than our government was for the Militia Movement, or the Romans were for Mussolini.

I expect to see a WALL of U-Hauls, as those White Americans who can start heading North, as fast as possible.

I suspect, under the Obama Presidency, they will find no place to hide, no place to be safe, and no quarter being offered.

The implications of THAT are fascinating, and will be dealt with at a later time.

in reply to Shari:

Long version short, what happened in Germany was the realignment of the social order along Racial lines, seen as the realignment and reinforcement of the traditional Family structure.

NSDAP Germany realigned itself economically along the lines of internal economic self-sufficiency, as New Russia is doing.

They arranged for direct exchanges of imports and exports, and went around the middlemen of the international banking system.

Above all, everyone realized the Government would serve the Family, and Familes were restored, with the Patriarchal model being followed.

They then refused to pay the reparations that could never be repaid, and invested the money in the economic productivity of the German people.

This so horrified the parasitic forces of Judea that they declared economic war on Germany in early 1933.

They then went to other means of fighting war, and prevailed against ONE example of the Western Soul organizing along organic lines...

For a Season.
