The Buffalo massacre signals a new wave of white nationalist violence explicitly designed to terrorize and radicalize Americans — part of a neo-nazi plan to succeed where Hitler failed.
American fascists and theocrats, in many cases influenced by Russian and other foreign interests, have been laying the groundwork for the upcoming Constitutional crisis for decades, intentionally tearing at the framework of democracy and putting the ingredients in place for genocide:
There are more guns than people in America; the Second Amendment has been perverted and weaponized
Women’s rights are being eliminated by an illegitimate Supreme Court controlled by christofascist extremists
Law enforcement is structurally racist
All major social media platforms are controlled by anarcho-capitalists who intentionally designed the technology to radicalize Americans
At least 30% of Americans are brainwashed into a death cult
Our military has been infiltrated by white nationalists
One of the two parties in our two party system is overtly fascist
FoxNews and Telegram are pumping neo-nazi ideology into the minds of millions of Americans every day
None of the people who planned and executed the insurrection are in prison
The US economy is at risk of a severe downturn purposefully engineered by fascists as the crypto bubble explodes, inflation spirals and US debt increases
Dolchstoßlegende — 1919, Big Lie — 2020
After WWI, fascists began immediately circulating anti-semitic propaganda, the early 20th century equivalent of the Big Lie, in Weimar Germany. Dolchstoßlegende or the “stab-in-the-back myth” falsely blamed Jews, liberals and Communists for losing the war.
A hundred years later, the Big Lie that asserts that the Jews, liberals and Communists stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump is intentionally modeled on Dolchstoßlegende.
All autocrats need a scapegoat to blame. If they are allowed to gain power, genocide is often the next step.
Beer Hall Putsch — 1923, Insurrection — 2021
As many have noted, a failed insurrection with no consequences is simply practice for the next attempt. Again, we are following in Weimar’s footsteps.
In 1923, Hitler planned an insurrection in Munich known as the Beer Hall Putsch that was designed to seize control of the government by force. It failed and Hitler was given a comfortable year in jail while he wrote “Mein Kampf” — which translates to “My Struggle” — painting himself, as all autocrats do, as a victim. He emerged far more popular than he started which ultimately enabled him to gain power and commit genocide.
The fact that none of the people who planned and executed the insurrection of the US Capitol are in jail puts Trump and his allies in the same situation as Hitler — blatantly guilty of Treason, and escaping justice anyway.
Great Depression 1929
The Great Depression was an accelerant for Hitler’s plans and his rise to power. As Weimar’s economy suffered, Hitler radicalized Germans against Jews and other marginalized groups, paving the way for him to become Chancellor in 1933.
It is no accident that the right wing has been intentionally undermining the American economy for decades, blowing up the debt during Republican administrations and blaming the Democrats, Jews and liberals for the resulting problems.
Putin’s incursion into Ukraine has not only put his own country in a precarious economic situation, it has also put ours at risk. Inflation is spiraling and being cheered on by the fascists, who would like nothing more than another depression to set the stage for an autocracy.
Reichstag 1933
Through the early 30s, feckless politicians continually placated Hitler, believing that they could isolate or control him. They misunderstood, as almost all of our current politicians do, that you cannot control fascism. You cannot negotiate with it or make a deal with it. You must defeat it.
In 1933, the Reichstag Fire was a “false flag” operation designed to create a crisis that would put Hitler in power. It succeeded.
Unless the traitors who tried to steal the election on 1/6/2021 are put in prison, they WILL do it again. It is a certainty. The Second Insurrection will not be like the first — put together in a few weeks as Plan B to steal democracy — it will be a coordinated set of actions leading up to violence designed to create a Constitutional crisis that can only be resolved by putting a fascist in power.
Normalization
The media, like our government, is being marched step by step towards the abyss. Statements regularly made by “mainstream” Republicans that would be seen, even a few years ago, as bizarre and extreme, like neo-nazi Great Replacement Theory, have been widely normalized.
Social media networks are completely uncontrolled and unregulated and are being weaponized by anarcho-capitalist billionaires in the project to destroy global liberal democracy through radicalizing citizens and profiting from it. Websites and apps that are only designed to radicalize, like 4chan and 8chan, are allowed to continue creating monsters like the Buffalo nazi unabated.
Hitler 2022
The destruction of the modern world as we know it is being orchestrated by a small number of people — an actual “cabal of elites” that has every intention of subjugating women and minorities, and is perfectly comfortable with the death of millions or billions of humans as long as they get to pick up the pieces and rebuild civilization in their image.
The common perception is that Donald Trump will continue his role as puppet leader and be pushed forward as the candidate in 2024. I disagree. I believe Trump will be continue to be marginalized after the 2022 election because he has lost his usefulness except as a figurehead.
In my opinion, the man who led Putin’s project to steal the 2016 election for Trump, started Pizzagate and QAnon, and led the execution of the Big Lie, Mike Flynn, is going to try to seize power. Flynn is a racist, misogynistic, anti-semitic psychopath with a wounded ego and no empathy — a schoolyard bully who now rivals his ally Vladimir Putin as one of the most dangerous fascists in the world.
Every day, Flynn increases the violence in his rhetoric and throws aside any trappings of being anything other than what he has always been — a wannabe Hitler.
Are We Weimar??
I urge everyone to read as much as you can about how the relatively progressive Weimar Republic was transformed in a few decades into a country that sanctioned and enacted genocide.
It not only can happen here, it is — right now. We are far down the path of Weimar and there is nothing on the horizon that is going to stop our descent.
Good people need to stand up, stop being intimidated and silenced, and take action. So many people I know, who have the best of intentions, don’t want to hear about any of this. They are too myopic and suppressed to see that their ignorance and silence is death. They believe “our institutions will hold” which is the normie version of “Trust the Plan” — which is no plan at all.
Flynn and his allies are planning the Fourth Reich. When Flynn said that he wants “one religion” he meant it. When Putin said he wants to recreate the Soviet Empire with Moscow as Third Rome, he meant it. When Bannon said he wanted to dismantle the “administrative state,” he meant it. When Peter Thiel said “freedom and democracy are incompatible,” he meant it.
Believe them.
#ArrestMikeFlynn
A long time ago I remember reading a quote from a politician (John Mitchell, according to Google) that said something along the lines of "This country is going so far to the right you won't recognize it." It sent a chill up my spine at the time. Now we are here. You are so right, Jim. Fascists, particularly of the theocratic variety, cannot be appeased. At this stage, defeating them is going to be a very long, painful struggle. I doubt I will live long enough to see the outcome, and that may be a blessing. I am torn between my natural non-violent nature and the hard reality of the present.
Jim, thank you for your excellent reporting and writing and continued focus on the fascist group orchestrating this ugly, brutal war against us all.
