Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: Republicans and Nazis, Nuremberg Trials

[Zorra]

Below is a statement from Justice Robert Jackson at the Nuremberg Trials. Comparison of the admission of a right wing conspiracy in the statement below by McNickle, and the statement below by Justice Jackson, should make every decent American's blood run cold.

There is a vast right wing conspiracy. It exists and it is not a joke. If it is successful it will end democracy in America and establish an iron fisted totalitarian dictatorship that will not be effectively challengeable through peaceful democratic processes.

This column will really upset liberals
by Colin McNickle

As with fools, I don't suffer liberals gladly. I'm a proud member of the vast right-wing conspiracy. If not a founding member, I'm at least a charter member and darn proud of it. And I, too, find myself continually shaking my head over the Styrofoam-for-brains liberals and ``their'' media.

All who enter my office are reminded of my persuasion when they leave. It's so chilling that some even here don't linger very long.

My ``sustaining membership'' card for 2002 from the Republican National Committee, taped to the wall, is one far-from-tacit notandum. (Down boys and girls; no money exchanged hands for this honorific.)

It features that very large headline, ``Roosevelt Dead,'' from which I garner immeasurable inspiration every single day.

Nazi Conspiracy & Aggression
Volume I Chapter V
Justice Jackson's Opening Address for the United States of America
(Part 2 of 17)

We will not ask you to convict these men on the testimony of their foes. There is no count of the Indictment that cannot be proved by books and records. The Germans were always meticulous record keepers, and these defendants had their share of the Teutonic passion for thoroughness in putting things on paper. Nor were they without vanity. They arranged frequently to be photographed in action. We will show you their own films. You will see their own conduct and hear their own voices as these defendants reenact for you, from the screen, some of the events in the course of the conspiracy.

We would also make clear that we have no purpose to incriminate the whole German people. We know that the Nazi Party was not put in power by a majority of the German vote. We know it came to power by an evil alliance between the most extreme of the Nazi revolutionists, the most unrestrained of the German reactionaries, and the most aggressive of the German militarists. If the German populace had willingly accepted the Nazi program, no Stormtroopers would have been needed in the early days of the Party and there would have been no need for concentration camps or the Gestapo, both of which institutions were inaugurated as soon as the Nazis gained control of the German state. Only after these lawless innovations proved successful at home were they taken abroad.

In general, our case will disclose these defendants all uniting at some time with the Nazi Party in a plan which they well knew could be accomplished only by an outbreak of war in Europe. Their seizure of the German state, their subjugation of the German people, their terrorism and extermination of dissident elements, their planning and waging of war, their calculated and planned ruthlessness in the conduct of warfare, their deliberate and planned criminality toward conquered peoples, all these are ends for which they acted in concert; and all these are phases of the conspiracy, a conspiracy which reached one goal only to set out for another and more ambitious one. We shall also trace for you the intricate web of organizations which these men formed and utilized to accomplish these ends. We will show how the entire structure of offices and officials was dedicated to the

It is my purpose to open the case, particularly under Count One of the Indictment, and to deal with the common plan or conspiracy to achieve ends possible only by resort to crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. My emphasis will not be on individual barbarities and perversions which may have occurred independently of any central plan. One of the dangers ever present is that this trial may be protracted by details of particular wrongs and that we will become lost in a "wilderness of single instances." Nor will I now dwell on the activity of individual defendants except as it may contribute to exposition of the common plan.

We must prevent these republican pseudo-nazis from retaining power, and insure that they are never allowed to be in power again.

Unite against Bu$h. Register voters. Do everything you possibly can to stop these new nazis. Vote for John Kerry.

1. Yes, by their actions we will know them

Monsters. They haven't begun the killing but that WILL follow as 1943 followed 1938 followed 19333.

2. Thanks - and Tom Paine

the killing HAS begun - with the Bush links to Osama and the Saudis you'd have to say so.

It started in Texas when Bush was governor

It started when George the First was head of the CIA (and even before that ambassador to slave-driven China and head of the RNC for Nixon)

and when HIS Dad was business partners with Nazis in 1932 and 1942 and 1952.

The killing started and we need to keep reminding oursleves that Fascism is an intergenerational plague.

3. If more of the people that fought against fascism in WWll were alive today

torches and pitchforks would already be in full use.

[seventhson]

5. I know, but they are in their 70's and 80's and Bush is...

killing them off with little or no health care, inhumane nursing homes, corrupt medical corporations amd pharmaceutical companies, and is stealing all the money they need to survive.

Partisans then - even then - needed to be young and strong to survive and make a difference.

Sept. 11, 2001, hastened a significant shift in our nation's self-understanding. It became commonplace to refer to an "American empire" and to the United States as "the world's only superpower."

Instead of those formulations, try to conceive of ones like "superpower democracy" or "imperial democracy," and they seem not only contradictory but opposed to basic assumptions that Americans hold about their political system and their place within it. Supposedly ours is a government of constitutionally limited powers in which equal citizens can take part in power. But one can no more assume that a superpower welcomes legal limits than believe that an empire finds democratic participation congenial.

No administration before George W. Bush's ever claimed such sweeping powers for an enterprise as vaguely defined as the "war against terrorism" and the "axis of evil." Nor has one begun to consume such an enormous amount of the nation's resources for a mission whose end would be difficult to recognize even if achieved.

Like previous forms of totalitarianism, the Bush administration boasts a reckless unilateralism that believes the United States can demand unquestioning support, on terms it dictates; ignores treaties and violates international law at will; invades other countries without provocation; and incarcerates persons indefinitely without charging them with a crime or allowing access to counsel.

The drive toward total power can take different forms, as Mussolini's Italy, Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union suggest.

The American system is evolving its own form: "inverted totalitarianism." This has no official doctrine of racism or extermination camps but, as described above, it displays similar contempt for restraints.

Americans are now facing a grim situation with no easy solution. Perhaps the just-passed anniversary of the Declaration of Independence might remind us that "whenever any form of Government becomes destructive ..." it must be challenged.

7. "Old Nazi Networks in US" by Russ Bellant is a real eyeopener

for those that still insist on keeping their eyes closed here in America. Real Nazis found a political home in the Republican Party RW shortly after WWII and have had quite an "influence" since.
