Doug Casey on the Rise of BlackRock and Fascism in the US

by Doug Casey via International Man International Man: With nearly $10 trillion in assets under management (AUM), BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager.

A significant portion of that freshly […]

The Rise of the New Normal Reich

by CJ Hopkins via Consent Factory I told you this part wasn’t going to be pretty. I didn’t think it would get to the point where the Wall Street Journal would go full Buck Turgidson and call on the United States to “show it can win a nuclear war,” but I wasn’t entirely off the […]

The Coming of Corporate Collectivism

by Jeff Thomas via International Man Benito Mussolini stated that “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.” Quite so.

Patricians vs. Plebeians: The Realignment 

by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute When I was a kid — and the same with my parents when they were young — you could count on certain fundamentals in politics.

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. via Mises.org This talk was delivered at the Doug Casey conference “When Money Dies” in Phoenix on October 1, 2011: “There isn’t anyone around who is willing to stand up and say, ‘I’m a fascist; I think fascism is a great social and economic system.’” Everyone knows that the term fascist […]

The Last Days of the Covidian Cult

by CJ Hopkins via Consent Factory This isn’t going to be pretty, folks. The downfall of a death cult rarely is. There is going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth, incoherent fanatical jabbering, mass deleting of embarrassing tweets. There’s going to be a veritable tsunami of desperate rationalizing, strenuous denying, shameless blame-shifting, and other […]

“Capitalism Has Failed”

by Jeff Thomas via International Man Today, more than at any time previously, Westerners are justifying a move toward collectivist thinking with the phrase, “Capitalism has failed.” In response to this, conservative thinkers offer a knee-jerk reaction that collectivism has also had a dismal record of performance. Neither group tends to gain any ground with […]

Regulatory Capture is Killing Us, and We Are Two Steps Away from the Totalitarian Fascist Regulatory States of America

by James Lyons-Weiler via Popular Rationalism From the EPA to the FDA, the massive influence of corporations on the agencies tasked with regulating them has proven to be a deadly experiment in American-Style Fascism.

The Sandcastle

Fascism is capitalism in decline. by Jeff Thomas via International Man The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

The Year of the New Normal Fascist

by CJ Hopkins via the Consent Factory And so, as 2021 goose-steps toward its fanatical finish, it is time for my traditional year-end wrap-up. It’s “The Year of the Ox” in the Chinese zodiac, but I’m christening it “The Year of the New Normal Fascist.” And what a phenomenally fascist year it has been! I’m […]

by CJ Hopkins via Consent Factory, Inc. So, GloboCap has crossed the Rubicon. The final phase of its transformation of society into a pathologized-totalitarian dystopia, where mandatory genetic-therapy injections and digital compliance papers are commonplace, is now officially underway. On November 19, 2021, the government of New Normal Austria decreed that, as of February, experimental […]

The Sovietization of America

Wow! This is an incredible interview — and a bit scary! Yuri Maltsev, former member of a senior Soviet Union economics team working under President Mikhail Gorbachev, discusses how the United States is descending into socialism.
