Fascism | High Office, Supreme Power

Gary D. Barnett | garydbarnett.com

In simple pure etymological terms, the word Fascist comes from the Roman “fasces.” The fasces symbol is a “bundle of rods containing an axe with the blade projecting. It is carried before a lictor, a superior Roman magistrate, as a symbol of power over life and limb: the sticks symbolized punishment by whipping, the axe-head execution by beheading. Hence in Latin it also meant, figuratively, “high office, supreme power.”

This by the way, is the same symbol displayed in the U.S. Congress chamber; (and many places elsewhere) bundles of sticks wrapped around an axe with blade exposed. This is no coincidence, as government and those who run and control it, expect to hold the highest office in order to wield the most supreme power against the people, all backed by force of arms.

In the early 20th century, fascism under Mussolini was considered the “anti-communist political movement,” and this term today, although bastardized and used incorrectly on many occasions, should be understood as the descriptive term for a supreme government wielding unlimited power over a ruled society of oppressed people, whether realized by the population or not. (The American population realizes almost nothing) It is not right wing or left wing, which are one and the same, it is simply dominant rule by a totalitarian government. The U.S. today is such a government, and therefore to call it fascist, is entirely correct.

Trump’s governing policy is completely fascist in every sense of the word, but no matter who the braindead people accept as their supreme ‘leader’ next time around, regardless of party, it will be even worse, as every criminal assault levied against the people by the political class and its controllers, will be kept, and additional atrocities committed. It is a never ending cycle of tyranny.

There are currently 44 national emergency declarations in effect, some of which have been renewed over and over again for decades. Trump has recently declared 6 more national emergency declarations, with many more to come. Congress supposedly has the authority to terminate these so-called emergency orders, but with the president’s ability to veto any such termination, and a 2/3 vote necessary to override his veto, it is nearly impossible for any initiative to terminate to succeed. Therefore, this country can be completely controlled by emergency orders that cannot be politically overturned. That is the state of dictatorial control that we live under today.

As I have said so many times over the past decades, nothing can or will be remedied by any political means. It is simply not possible, nor do the weakling serfs who reside here have the intellect or courage to advance their own freedom. Only total non-compliance and elimination of this governing structure will suffice to bring about an end to this massive tyranny, regardless of any argument whatsoever to the contrary. Any and all dependence on the political system is about as useful as pissing in the wind!
