Senator Rick Scott's 11 PoInt Plan For GOP-- "Straight Outta' Mein Kampf" Part 2, An Addendum

I had written a piece a few weeks ago on Senator Rick Scott's so-called 11 point plan. Consider this, my comment on HCR's informative letter on Abraham Lincoln's pro-development, pro- people Tax policy, to be an addendum to my earlier article.

["Pardon me for this seeming diversion, but it strikes me that Rick Scott, DeSantis and the GOP of Florida and Texas etal, are worse than "Culture Warriors." 

Any trained person who has done actuarial tables for Insurance companies will be able to calculate fairly accurately the increase in the death rate which Scott's "11 point program" to destroy the social safety net and tax the poor will cause. We are talking about economic genocide. 

It is almost identical to the legalized corporativist system set up in Nazi Germany by Hitler and Himmler which was called "Freundeskreis Der Wirtschaft" (Friends of the Economy) which later became known as the Circle of Friends of Himmler, as it came under the purview of the SS.

The policy was to consolidate a slave labor/austerity economy by strengthening the formal ties between the Nazi Party leadership and the leading German businesses and big industries. It was headed by Hitler advisor Wilhelm Keppler. The program included massive privatization schemes to facilitate accelerated corporate looting, funding of infrastructure which had mostly a military purpose, like the Autobahn, and filling up the private prisons (Industrial parks) with dissidents, the poor, petty criminals to use as slave labor for a "guns not butter" economy.

Trade Unions were banned, and taxes for big corporations involved in military production (in defiance of the Versailles Treaty) were slashed. There was privatization en masse, with virtually no regulation, similar to the policy pushed by today's GOP. Government policies were carried out through political interference, cronyism, and the control of the Party. 

Additionally a law was passed for The Compulsory Formation of Cartels, so that Hitler and his advisers could both give free reign to corporate looting rights, while still exercising full top down control. 

Without belaboring the point, there is very little methodological or moral difference between today's GOP plan and the early pre-war economic program of Hitler. The next time you see Rick Scott in the media, or wonder just what is going on in Florida, Texas, the RNC, think about it, and ask if what we doing about it is sufficient. Scott's "11 point plan for mass murder" was not written by that moron. He couldn't fill out an application for his own voter registration without his aides. 

Something, some group put this plan in his mouth, likely the fascist Billionaires lobby of the Koch orbit. That's what we need to go after. And President Biden has the power to do it, and for the time being, so do we."]

Today in History, July 17, 1918- Czar of Russia and Family Executed

Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. By July 1918, Russia was engulfed in a hellish civil war which would cost millions of lives and damage a country already reeling from the devastation of World War I. Swept away in this hellfire was the old Tsarist monarchy, last headed by Nicholas II. Nicholas had abdicated in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept through the nation. Since then he had been a prisoner of successive governments, first the Provisional Government and then the administration run by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The Romanovs were shipped from place to place, eventually coming to Yekaterinburg in April, in the Urals, an area known for its hard Communist sympathies. As the White Russian forces grew closer, Lenin and his associates ordere...

Milton Friedman- The Man Who Revived Fascist Economics, and Called It "Freedom".

Image
  You may have heard the name before, as he was featured in a PBS Series, titled "Free To Choose", also the title of his most famous and misnamed book. He was a prolific author, and widely publicized by Conservative News Media and Magazines, especially by the followers of William F. Buckley. In fact, Milton Friedman is the current top economic advisor to the so-called "movement conservatives", from Nixon to Reagan, to Newt Gingrich and Trumpworld,  and is still to this day the main architect of the GOP approach to dealing with the present economic crisis, though he has been keeping a low profile. A very low profile. In fact, six feet under. He is currently dead, and has been for 14 years, yet his horrific philosophy continues to stalk about, haunting us like the living dead animated by a Voodoo curse, burning live Chickens, chanting incantations, and propitiating the irrational forces of Britain's Adam Smith and his "Invisible Hand". (Which is the hand...

How Do You Know If What You Are Reading Is True Or Useful? - A One Year Old Facebook Post

Image
 How do we know whether what we are reading is true, or for that matter useful? There are many journalists in the US today who are not only excellent writers, but are just good people. They are well informed, have the best intentions and are highly professional.  I have to force myself to write, and it comes with great difficulty because I am blocked, and had little journalistic training. Without an editor I feel lost, and feel as though I want to rewrite everything or throw it out after I read it. Reading books and articles is my favorite hobby, and when I'm doing that I am in my happy place.  As of now I have 30 News and Magazine sites bookmarked and I read them everyday as a routine. I usually read anywhere from 2-10 articles in each, depending upon what newsworthy events are breaking that day. Plus I have a number of books on history that I have going at any one time. This is no big accomplishment or unique, it's just how I occupy my time and is my form of work these ...
