provokante frage, ist doch der faschismus eng mit der vergangenheit deutschlands verbunden und wird dementsprechend so hoch gehangen, das angeblich niemand mehr rankommt. faschismus ist aber nicht erst faschismus wenn der extremfall eintritt (und so wie damals in deutschland würde er sich heute auch nicht entwickeln...hoffe ich mal)- er fängt schon vorher an und kann sich in vielen verkleidungen zeigen.

Heinbergs Last Man Standing Hypothesis As Catastrophic Hallmark of Bush II
Richard Heinberg has a new book out that explores possibilities of societal
reactions to the Peak Oil phenomenon, which has the potential to throw
industrial society into chaos and even bring western technology based
civilization to its natural conclusion (not to mention possible die off of
the human species). All of this is discussed thoroughly in the two Heinberg
books, "The Party's Over" and "Power Down", which are required reading for
intelligent, conscious humans in our age.
One of the options discussed by Heinberg in his latest book is the "Last Man
Standing" scenario, in which the powerful (most often the ultra-wealthy and
politically connected within American society and societies of other
nations) will use their assets to promote their own survival at the expense
of everyone else.
How might a Bush/Cheney election in 2004 relate to this scenario, and
possibly result in planned and integrated policies designed to divide and
destroy the American society from within?
This may seem like a far-fetched and even ludicrous scenario to some, but
recent events are bearing out reasons for grave concern. Just yesterday on
the radio I heard an interview with a father in New York City who remarked
how he NEVER would have imagined the possibility of himself leaving notes
pinned on a fence in New York City to his missing son on where to locate the
father after the son went missing at the hands of the State. This father
had learned that his son had been illegally detained during peaceful, legal
protests in New York City and had been hauled off to jail with a large group
of protesters. The father had somehow obtained an "arrest number" with the
case by NYC against his son, and went to the jail to obtain information
about his son's anticipated release. The jailers asked the father how he
got information on the arrest number, and subsequently erased that number
and issued a second, secret number so the father could not effectively
locate his son. This obviously well-educated, patriotic man felt he was now
living in a situation comparable to South American "disappearances" of loved
ones in which he was reduced to pinning notes on a fence for his son to read
in case the son got out of jail. The father understood that the government
had "disappeared" his son and was astonished that such a thing could happen
in America.
We are seeing more and more cases of injustice within the American system of
governance, including military governance. One soldier who critized the
Bush Administration was summarily reduced in rank and then expelled from the
military after a trial in which he was refused to call witnesses or
cross-examine his accusers. Fourteen years of exemplary military service
were thrown out the window and this soldier was discharged. He came from a
family with a long line of military service to the nation, and this
soldier's family subsequently decided to never again recommend military
service for any of their progeny.
But the very worst will surely lie ahead for America. The Patriot Acts and
spirit of "fear of terrorism" in connection with the resource wars labeled
as the "War on Terrorism" are directly related to the Peak Oil crisis. The
increasing development of a police state in America and systemic
disintegration of civil rights and due process frightens Americans who love
the values this country was founded on.
If the past paradigm of freedom and liberty and protection of constitutional
rights within American society gives way to a fascist, totalitarian state
dominated by the John Ashcrofts of the world worsens, how long will it take
for violent insurrection to appear right here within America? Will
patriotic American citizens go quietly do their doom? And has not the Bush
Administration I already demonstrated very clearly that it can and will
trample on civil rights, illegally detain people without criminal charges
for indefinite periods of time, illegally detain dissidents and defy court
orders and otherwise make a mockery of the freedom and democracy they claim
to support and protect?
A second Bush Administration promises to destroy the very fabric of American
democracy and with it, the cohesion of American society. The resultant
chaos could very easily mean the emergence of permanent martial law and even
civil war. This could be an integrated plan, as surely the Bush/Cheney/Rove
crew know that the past and recent American way of life is no longer
sustainable ecologically or financially.
The Bush Administration in a second term may have a strategy for itself and
its powered elite to be the "last man standing" while society disintegrates
destroys itself.
This is certainly a worst case scenario, and hopefully would not happen.
But the very fact that signs point in that direction and unthinkable things
are happening as we speak mean that the American people would be
well-advised to remove all possibility of this worst case by repudiating
Bush/Cheney and all they stand for in the next election.
We will have to deal with Peak Oil inevitably. But there ARE other options
than "last man standing".
We can all stand together and fight for mutual survival, but not with a Bush
Administration in the picture.
