COTTON WHAT!???
“Fascism.
The very word evokes dark, menacing images of troops, marching in lockstep, in support of a terrible, malevolent ideology.
In a word, it suggests the followers of Mussolini in Italy, or Hitler in Germany.
To most of us, its very mention suggests its foreign nature; its Otherness.
Therein lies its danger. For, because it is seen as a foreign ideology, the inevitable idea arises: “It can’t happen here.”
Those who say this, either don’t know, or don’t want to know, American history. They prefer the safe myths, to the ugly truths of how this country came to be what it is.
What is fascism? In short, it is the merger of state and corporate interests.
Fascism is more than a funny-sounding word; it is dyed deep into the fabric of American life; and creeps forward today, under cover of ‘Law.”

This is an example of American political meddling in its early form. Guatemala the “Banana Republic” was manipulated in the early 1950’s. This clip explains the CIA and American gov’t involvement in toppling the elected gov’t and the subsequent “installation” of a leader sympathetic to American business interests ie/ United Fruit.
This is a craigslist ad I came across today which I find funny, but at the same time a little scary. Why you ask? The reason why is that it’s no surprise that a majority of Latino people make up alot of the low income class , not cause of lack of hard work and perseverance, but we often find ourselves amongst a unfair system in so many spectrum’s whether straight forward of indirectly subliminal. So what happens when a large group of people in this case people of color or people of a certain class struggle so much to make ends meet in the best nation in the world. If you take the lack of appropriate education amongst our inner city schools and urban areas coincidently in areas where poverty triumphs and you take the lack of job opportunities that will pay you an appropriate annual income to live descent. Then you see an opportunity to make a large sum of money in a short period of time, but the only requirement is for you to pose naked or even perhaps do a sex scene that after all pays 10,000 Dollars or even more. What’s the big deal for an individual who is amongt a class of people who struggle so much to live descent, who struggle so much to get an appropriate education due to the lack of effort put into their local public schools, who struggle so much to gain the appropriate knowledge to learn why they are struggling so much and be able to fight for themselves and not depend on others. What better way to take advantage of the females who lack knowledge are constantly reminded of how attractive they are, fuel their insecurities, lure them in by using the word model when we really mean slut, cum guzzler and so on. What better way to exploit the women of a class who lives in our unequal system that still practices anti semetic approaches in alot of ways and make them totally submissive to us? You exploit the females or queens of a class or race and you conquer the exploitation of an entire race and class. The exploitation of these females who are bound to be future mothers and want the better for their children. What the price a female pays for being a victim to the fact of being ignorant to a certain degree because of lack of encouragement to do well, lack of appropriate education. The price payed is that a female who fall victim to the issues raised earlier in this case can be easily influenced by money. The ad above not only encourages the female to look extremely young to resemble a minor, which if an individual were to practice sex with a minor would be considered statuary rape , but also exploits the fact that a lot of Latinas live currently in a life they don’t want to live in being victims of poverty of course. The say all this by saying, ” If you’re hot young and outgoing and WANT A BETTER LIFE then get in touch.” Which Latina being victim to poverty and injustice doesn’t want a better life? What human being would want to be victim to such horrible circumstances ? NO ONE OBVIOUSLY. The next line is obviously catering to the fact that a lot of low income Latinas are known to have babies at young ages, “Start saving for your future girls.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The porn industry especially within the past decade has really gone to some extreme grotesque ways to lure in easy influenced females especially ones being victim to an unfair and unequal system that currently exists in America today.
Nearly a quarter of American adults (23%) say they mostly (14%) or completely (9%) agree that American lives are worth more than the lives of people in other countries according to the most recent Pew Social Values Survey; those most likely to take this view include white men (30%), persons ages 18-29 (29%) and self-identified conservative Republicans (28%).
This ideology is one of the many things that continues to plague America sadly. This total disregard that everybody on this planet is human regardless of color. If the human race doesn’t fix this problem, this well be the downfall to the human existence forever. That’s real talk.

People think of Hollywood as the most liberal place in the known universe, but really that only goes as far as the drugs and orgies are concerned. When it comes to minorities, Hollywood still seems to have a few shamefully corny and simplistic roles in mind. Here’s the six Hollywood stereotypes that can’t die soon enough. Continue Reading Here.
NO. This is not some exaggerated conspiracy. Ask yourself if any of the following points on the list below have already occurred. If you say your answer is no I respecfully say that you have been either a. spending you’re all of your time ignoring the things that are happening on your planet that you live in OR b.ignoring the inconvenient truth that no matter how much you try to convince yourself that Politics doesn’t effect you, I’m Reality and I’m here to tell you that YOUR DEAD WRONG.
Anyways back to the main topic. It not only can happen here, it is happening here.
Mussolini created the blueprint (with inspiration from Lenin), Hitler elaborated on it, Stalin studied Hitler…
Here’s how it works (notice how many Bush & Co. is using now.):
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens’ groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law
