The Backbone of Fascism is Public Apathy Comment by Larry Ross, June 28, 2007
Every dictatorship depends on apathy, ignorance, confusion created by pro-dictatorship propaganda, disinterest, gullibility, criminal or and/or self-interest of its victims, and fear of reprisals by people if they openly oppose the emerging or established dictatorship. These factors are enough to silence and/or prevent most opposition. The recent Fiji military dictatorship is a good example. It was a simple military takeover, using a flimsy excuse of combating corruption. Another emerging dictatorship is the Bush Administration. It is far more complex and sophisticated as one of its objects is to convert the world's greatest democracy into a tightly-controlled military state while never admitting what its true objectives are. It's major cover story and justification is the 9/11 attack and their response "wars on terror". So far, that simple formula has worked well, and allowed the Bush regime to achieve a formidable success. It has all the elements mentioned above. In addition the cunning, skill and careful planning of the dictatorial conspirators, their spin doctors, PR specialists and psychological warfare experts are extremely important to the success of their plans. But there are other more shadowy areas of expertise that dwarf all others. That is the willingness to covertly or openly commit major crimes against their own people and anyone else. One of the areas is called false flag operations of the 'Gulf of Tonkin' type, in which an alleged North 'Vietnamese attack on US warships was used to justify expanding the Vietnam War and make it last many years longer with many more casualties. Another famous false flag was 'Operation Northwoods" in 1962, to be staged to justify a US war with Cuba. It was officially approved by all top Pentagon generals but vetoed by President Kennedy who was mysteriously assassinated a few months later. Details of "False Flags" can be obtained on our website or by doing a Google search of "False Flags". One open example of the major crimes is the 655,000 murdered by the Bush Administration in Iraq since 2003, while continuing their illegal war based on lies. The US Congress refuses to expose and repudiate these lies, and like the famous story "The Emperors New Clothes" pretends they are real. If the Bush regime staged the 9/11 attack, or even if they just capitalised on it as a fortuitous event to implement their plans, it certainly worked for them. The 9/11 attack allowed them to do whatever they wanted with the American nation and slowly convert it to into a fascist military state. They also advanced their plan for world domination by using the American military machine to make war on other states, such as Afghanistan and Iraq under the guise of their "wars on terror". One might have thought that the plot would collapse when it was found that the Iraq war was based on a litany of lies and that Iraq had (1) no weapons of mass destruction (2) no nuclear weapons (3) job plans to make nuclear weapons (4) no links to al-Quad (5) no links to Osaka Bin Laden (6) no links to the 9/11 attack. In short all the lies the Bush Administration used to justify this war were revealed for what they were - bald-faced lies to get public support for his pre-planned wars. So why didn't the Bush regime collapse and the US stop this unjust war on Iraq? Singling out this one brutal dictator - Saddam Hussein - for the war treatment, among their stable of dictators they support and arm was just a lame hoax after Bush's main lies collapsed. Amazingly and miraculously, the American people, Congress and the media swallowed the lies and the hoax. Many still believe the lies. Some of the chief neuron liars are sought-after commentators for the pro-Bush media. Congressional and Democratic leaders fall over themselves meekly accepting and often repeating Bush lies as if they are some new unquestionable Papal truth. Many can't wait for a new war on Iran. Indeed they call for it like baying hound dogs ready to be unleashed. So Bush's lie campaign to demonise Iran has been an outstanding success, portraying Iran as a criminal regime and a nuclear threat. Bush has even threatened to use nuclear weapons on Iran. As Bush said repeatedly: "All options are on the table". What he is really talking about is that he is willing to risk starting a global nuclear war and the end of humanity to advance his neuron plan for world domination. One would think that Bush has gone too far with his crazy nuclear threats, lies and delusions, and that the American people would toss him out before he destroyed them, their children and the rest of the world. But it's not so. Although 70% of the public do not approve of Bush or his war the people in power in the US, developing and implementing the plan are the very powerful nuclear 'crazies'. They want to use US nuclear might to dominate the world and they couldn't care less how many millions they kill. When a group is infected with the hubris of building a US empire, anything is allowed and everything is morally justified. There is just one last act before the conspirators come out and formally assume the mantle of military dictatorship. That is to stage a large 'false flag' operation in the US with many US casualties, perhaps even larger than 9/11 that worked so well for them. That will inflame and terrorize the US population. Congress, the public and the media will then claim Bush was right about the terrorists and rally round him as he begins a new pre-emptive nuclear war against those he accuses of this new terrorist act. As with 9/11, Bush can capitalize on the new 'false flag' crime to consolidate his control and he will have Congress pass legislation to do whatever he wants, including imprisoning any US citizens he labels as an "enemy combatant". Criticism, questioning or protest will be almost non-existent. Presidential elections will be indefinitely postponed. Bush and his co-conspirators will reign unopposed. I hope this scenario is totally wrong. But I suggest concerned people examine "False Flag" operations on our site as well as Goggle search it. Then I suggest you educate others that "False Flag" operations are not a delusion, but have been used many times by the US and others to start or escalate wars.
