The US Civil War: The War of Financial Disobedience

By Larry Romanoff

 

Until 1968 the desertion rate for U.S. troops in Vietnam was lower than in previous wars. But by 1969 the desertion rate had increased fourfold. This wasn’t limited to Southeast Asia; desertion rates among G.I.’s were on the increase world-wide. For soldiers in the combat zone, insubordination became an important part of avoiding horrible injury or death. As early as mid-1969, an entire company of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade sat down on the battlefield. Later that year, a rifle company from the famed 1st Air Cavalry Division flatly refused — on CBS TV — to advance down a dangerous trail. In the following 12 months the 1st Air Cav notched up 35 combat refusals. Source

Fascism is a political ideology fundamentally authoritarian in character, with a strong nationalism and an essentially belligerent militaristic outlook. Fascism carries primarily a corporate perspective as opposed to a socialist view, directed to satisfying the needs, values and objectives of finance and corporations, organising both the economy and the political system according to this agenda. A fascist government actively suppresses any objection to its ideology and will crush any movement which opposes it. In keeping with their belligerent nature, fascist governments generally view violence and war as stimulants to national spirit and vitality. Being politically Right-Wing, they maintain their position through firm control or compliance of the media, and most often engage in a vast array of lies and deception. These governments tend to be bigoted, if not racist, invariably require "enemies" to achieve public solidarity, and are often supremacist or at least 'exceptional' in their self-assessment. They either believe, or pretend to believe, that they have a license on truth. Large military budgets, the creation and demonisation of fictitious enemies to propagate fear and maintain population control, are all typical characteristics of a fascist regime, as is massive public surveillance.

The Machinery of Terror

The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late.

The Missing Link - by Mr. Fish

I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before. I saw them during the “Dirty War” in Argentina, where 30,000 men, women and children were “disappeared” by the military junta. Victims were held in secret prisons, savagely tortured and murdered. To this day, many families do not know the fate of their loved ones.

Introducere

Prof. Jeffrey D, Sachs: Michael, vă mulțumesc foarte mult și vă mulțumesc tuturor pentru șansa de a fi împreună și de a gândi împreună. Aceasta este într-adevăr o perioadă complicată și în schimbare rapidă și una foarte periculoasă. Așadar, avem cu adevărat nevoie de claritate în gândire. Sunt deosebit de interesat de conversația noastră, așa că voi încerca să fiu cât se poate de succint și clar. Am urmărit foarte îndeaproape evenimentele din Europa de Est, fosta Uniune Sovietică, Rusia, în ultimii 36 de ani. Am fost consilier al guvernului polonez în 1989, al președintelui Gorbaciov în 1990 și 1991, al președintelui Elțin în 1991-1993, al președintelui Kucima al Ucrainei în 1993-94. Am contribuit la introducerea monedei estoniene.

Prof. Jeffrey D. Sachs: See on tõepoolest keeruline ja kiiresti muutuv aeg ning väga ohtlik. Seega vajame me tõesti selget mõtlemist. Ma olen eriti huvitatud meie vestlusest, seega püüan teha nii lühidalt ja selgelt kui võimalik.

Ma olen viimased 36 aastat väga tähelepanelikult jälginud sündmusi Ida-Euroopas, endises Nõukogude Liidus ja Venemaal. Olin 1989. aastal Poola valitsuse nõunik, 1990. ja 1991. aastal president Gorbatšovi nõunik, 1991. kuni 1993. aastal president Jeltsini nõunik ja 1993. kuni 1994. aastani Ukraina presidendi Kutšma nõunik. Aitasin kaasa Eesti oma valuuta kasutuselevõtule. Aitasin mitut endise Jugoslaavia riiki, eriti Sloveeniat. Olen jälginud sündmusi väga lähedalt 36 aastat.
