Understood. And normally I am careful of the use of the word Fascism.
But I do so deliberately because of that very radicalization of a wide
sector of our Working Class.
Perhaps it is the wrong word, but until a better one comes along, it
gets the idea across. We are on the edge of violent government
oppression. Those driving this violence are a White Supremacist,
Right wing Christian group of super Pseudo Libertarian. Frankly, I
see lots of similarities between today and the 1930's in Germany,
Austria, Hungry, etc.
Those driving the Movement today are using the same Playbook out of
the past. Tell the big lies over and over. Turn the people against
one another, blaming each other for the national crisis's, etc.

It would be well to remember that fascism has a specific meaning and its
development requires certain historical conditions including a
radicalization of the working class. Fascist is not just a synonym for
authoritarian. I now forget who it was, but in the seventies just after
Nixon resigned there was a socialist leader who said that those who
called Richard Nixon a fascist would find it hard to be listened to when
the real thing came along.

the Globe.
And now the American Empire, through its cohort Briton, finally has
its clutches on Julian Assange. We will be witness to a trial that
will look exactly like the Mock Trials we once denounced. And when
the final verdict is handed down, and Julian Assange is placed in
solitary confinement, the New World Fascists will openly and boldly

Then they will sing songs of victory...until their asthmatic,

BREAKING—Moreno Withdraws Asylum as Assange is Arrested
April 11, 2019 • 13 Comments
The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested after the
Ecuadorian
president, Lenin Moreno, withdrew Assange’s asylum, in a move that runs
counter to international asylum law.
WikiLeaks tweeted that Ecuador allowed British police into the London
embassy to arrest Assange at around 10:30 am British time, 5:30 am in
Washington.
This is the moment when Assange was dragged out by police. He was heard
to
say, “The UK must resist this….the UK must resist.”
Assange was taken with an arrest warrant for skipping bail when he
entered
the Ecuadorian embassy in June 2012, fearing extradition to the United
States, where there is a sealed indictment with his name on it. Assange
lawyer Jennifer Robinson tweeted that he has been arrested for breach of
bail conditions and also because of a request for extradition from the
U.S.
Assange was taken a police station and will later be brought to
Magistrate’s
court, according to a tweet from Christine Assange, Julian’s mother.
Former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correrá reacted by calling Moreno the
“greatest traitor in Ecuadorian and Latin American history.”
Full translation: “The greatest traitor in Ecuadorian and Latin American
history, Lenin Moreno, allowed the British police to enter our embassy
in
London to arrest Assange. Moreno is a corrupt, but what he has done is a
crime that humanity will never forget.”
Moreno made a national television address to announce his decision.
While
the expulsion of a refugee to a country that could harm him for
political
reasons, known as refoulement, is against international law, Moreno
accused
Assange of “repeated violations to international conventions and
daily-life
protocols.”
Unity4J will hold an emergency vigil under the hashtag #FreeJulian
beginning
at noon U.S. Eastern Standard Time that will be webcast live on
Consortium
News.
