LC> As someone else as disgusted with the way the right winged fundamentalist christians have practically dictated the Republican Party platform, I was so grossed out by the non-event, as to blow chunks on my livingroom carpet-such a charade, such a circus. Some people will align themselves with a pack of hyenas, if it will get them elected president. It will be a hot time in de ol' country after the election, if George Bush-The-Douch gets elected. We still have the chapter to turn to in our storybooks where he pays off on all the secret deals he has made with the leaders of the Mindless Ones, the Hungry Ones, the Vengefull Ones. Minority religions won't stand a chance. The reaportionment of California Districts created 24, I think, new legislative seats, 18 of which were captured by a united coalition of Fundamentalist Christians. REMEMBER THE DARK AGES! Better dust off those serf collars, for the Kingdom Of Christ is at hand, or foot, or wherever the chains will fit best. I remember Lenny Bruce doing a routine about how if christ was around much later would everyone be wearing little electric chairs aon chains? Jesus was crucified. Christians think he will come back. Christians wear crosses around their necks. When Jesus comes back, do you think he wants to see a bunch of crosses? Doesn't anyone listen to our grest vice-pres Danny boy? He's right, I think they are gonna pass a law saying that every citizen must watch 2 or more hours of network conditioning on fun family TV, or better yet CSPAM. Why is everyone always trying : 1> To impose their way of thinking or praying as the one true way, trying to control others? 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Lewis Cypher Area: THE_OASIS To: Scott Brush 29 Aug 92 12:51:44 Subject: Fascism U.S.A.

The U.S. Corporate sponsored Oligarchy has already seized power.Slavery is Back! In Peru, it is easier to seize power than here. Here, we have an educated population (although that is rapidly changing) which would not tolerate a leader taking over directly. Here, a dictator, or a group of dictators, must spend about 2 decades manipulating the government to seize power. That leadership, or more realistically, that group of criminals, must pack the Supreme Court with their own people first- people who have contempt for individual freedom and a narrow interpretation of the constitution, and will do what the Executive Branch tells them to.(1) Then, the FBI and other secret police organizations would have to start a program of destroying domestic dissent(2). This would include bombing enviornmental groups (Earth First, Green Peace) and then blaming the victim for the bomb, assassinating leaders of opposing political parties (Black,Indian,Chicano, ect.,), and discrediting enemies of the dictators by the use of the corporate media.(3) (continued...) 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Lewis Cypher Area: THE_OASIS To: Scott Brush 29 Aug 92 12:53:56 Subject: Fascism U.S.A. II UpdReq Instead of having the Army seize the radio stations and TV stations, as is done in countries like Peru, it is easier in the U.S. to have your people buy the major TV and radio stations,(4) or be the major sponsors, and purchase major newspapers while buying up or destroying the other independant papers. Then you can manufacture consent, divert public attention from important issues of disappearing freedoms, and neutralize the Bill Of Rights, and get your candidates elected by mass advertising disguised as News, while denying opposing candidates any media publicity that they don't buy. The result of this manufactured 'public opinion,' is that uninformed and misdirected citizens will endlessly mouth platitudes of dreamlike conformity to the New World Order. For Example: " Our form of government, though not perfect, is the best out in the world today." "This is the best of all possible worlds." (this is a recording), "This is the best of all possible worlds " (this is a recording) "This is the....." But you know what? All this has already happened! THEY LIVE, WE SLEEP (continued...) 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Lewis Cypher Area: THE_OASIS To: Scott Brush 29 Aug 92 12:56:42 Subject: Fascism U.S.A. UpdReq footnotes: (1) It has been noted by experts, Harvard Law Professors and such, that the current Supreme Court is little more than a legal counsel for the Executive Branch. (2) The program to destroy domestic dissent is called CONTELPRO, and was enacted by J.Edgar Hoover, and is currently being run by the head of the San Francisco FBI office, according to a recent investigation of a citizens investigation organization called The Wobblies. (3) Even the loyal opposition is smeared. Everybody endlessly heard about Governor Moonbeam Brown, before they even heard about his ideas. His credibility is still being attacked, unsuccessfully, on minor issues, while the selected president for the next term, George Bush, and his families, are responible for more mass murder and outright theft than any other candidate-but this is hardly mentioned anywhere except in the discredited independent media, which only comprises 4% of the available news. (4) In 1970, there were 1200 media corporations who distributed the news. Now there are only 25, all owned by large corporations. 85% of the media in the U.S. is owned by Rupert Murdock, an Australian.(Gannett Publishing, ect.) In San Francisco alone, all the local prime time news is distributed by TV stations owned by major defense contractors. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Turbator Area: THE_OASIS To: Vitriol 30 Aug 92 15:58:24 Subject: Re: no-no's UpdReq C'mon, relax, Yuppies are a dying species, it's now "cool" to "downscale" one's lifestyle.

Gag, cough, sputter... Excuse me if I find all this revisionist, neo-marxist, psycho-babble bull shit a bit hard to swallow. First, the fact that you can spew this drivel is an indication that much of what you say is not quite right. In your case freedom of speech seems to be alive and well. If our freedoms are threatened, then its from the tyranny of the masses,not the tyranny of a dictatorship. Although words ultimately can mean whatever you want them to mean, let's be consistent in out terms. What you mean by dictatorship is not what is commonly subscribed to. The threat to our freedoms is not from some generalized conspiracy against "free-thinkers", but from the overwhelming inertia of burueacracy. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718
