Barbarians & Fascists
• Page 3 •

A barbarian thrives on raping and pillaging, on despoilment of society and the environment, with the intention of making the world more of a mess than it is already in. A barbarian is an uncivilized or uncultured person, from the Latin and Ancient Greek terms originally applied to any foreigner. In idiomatic or figurative usage, the term 'barbarian' may also be an individual who is brutal, cruel, warlike, insensitive.

Barbarian topic at Wikipedia

Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Neo-fascism usually includes nationalism,
anti-immigration policies, or - where relevant - nativism, anti-communism, and opposition to the parliamentary
system and to liberal democracy.

the 'fasces' is a bundle of rods in combination with a war axe    Illustration of the principle of 'fasces': the bundle of rods tied together with the war axe was carried by civic magistrates in Ancient Roman times. The rods were used to mete out punishment unless the axe was needed to execute the criminal. The premise used by fascism is that the individual rods are easy to break (as are individual persons) but unified and with the threat of severe punishment from the state, the group then becomes mighty.

and Canada and Mexico


Following the rise of the 'We Are The 99%' Occupy Movement in late 2011, documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald
and his team at Brave New Films set up a website to have We The People vote on the worst of the One Percent.
Greenwald culled the 5,000 suggestions down to the Top 30 Dirtbags, and the second round of voting took place over
Thanksgiving Weekend 2011. Brave New Films then began constructing short films outlining the crimes of the Top Ten Dirtbags.

The Top Thirty Dirtbags of the One Percent are:
Richard Anderson (CEO of Delta Airlines), Don Blankenship (killer of coal miners), Lloyd Blankfein (CEO of Goldman Sachs), Joseph Cassano (former CFO of A.I.G.), traitor & war profiteer Dick Cheney, Michigan politician Richard DeVos Jr., Jamie Dimon (CEO of JPMorgan Chase), Hugh Grant (chair/pres/CEO of Monsanto), Damon Hininger (pres/CEO of Corrections Corp. of America), Jeffrey Immelt (chair/CEO of General Electric), §Congressman Darrell Issa, §Phil Knight (chairman of Nike), TEA Party funders §Charles & David Koch, §Rush Limbaugh (blatherskite) [1951-2021], James McNerney (CEO of Boeing), Brian Moynihan (pres/CEO of Bank of America), Angelo Mozilo (disgraced chair/CEO of Countrywide Financial), Rupert Murdoch (CEO of News Corp.), hedge fund manager John Paulson, George Paz (healthcare CEO), §Peter G.

Jeffrey Epstein was convicted and jailed in Florida in 2008 for sex offenses with children as young as 14; he received a cushy sentence of 13 months, which included
daily supervised work release; recent reports accuse him of having further illegal sex during his time on work release (the Florida Sheriff is investigating). He was arrested
on federal charges and jailed on 6 July 2019 and was found dead in his cell on August 10; many refuse to believe that he committed suicide and insist that he was killed
in a widespread cover-up to prevent him testifying about high-placed fellow perverts.

convicted/commuted Medicare fraud Philip Esformes [b. 1971?] of South Florida
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_fraud#2019_Medicare_Fraud_Strike_Task_Force_Charges

2019 April: Esformes was convicted of leading one of the largest-ever health-care frauds, found guilty by a jury of conspiracy, kickback, and money-laundering charges following an eight-week trial. Prosecutors said that from 1998 to 2016, Esformes ran an extensive healthcare fraud scheme through a network of nursing homes and assisted living facilities that he owned, bribing doctors with cash to refer patients; prosecutors said that those patients were then cycled through facilities, which often failed to provide them appropriate medical services or provided them unnecessary services.
2020 Dec 22: sentence commuted and freed from prison by then-President Donald Trump.
2023 Jan 6: A unanimous three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in South Florida upheld the criminal conviction of Esformes for orchestrating a $1.3 billion healthcare fraud, which means that he is still liable for monetary penalties totaling $44 million; the court rejected Esformes' argument that the case against him should have been dismissed because prosecutors improperly reviewed materials covered by attorney-client privilege.
2023 Oct 12: President Biden’s Justice Department is moving to try Esformes again – a move made possible because the jury that convicted him reached no verdict on six counts, including the most serious charge of conspiracy to commit health-care fraud.

Kovalik has a point here: the United States (and-or fascist corporations) should stop meddling in 'democratic processes' in other countries; however, to suggest that America in recent years gives orders to Russia/Putin is ridiculous, because the action since Emperor Trump's inauguration has been Russia controlling or 'meddling with' the U.S.A.

In October 2018, Sears Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announced the closing of 142 more Sears and Kmart stores by the end of the year;
while the announcement blamed plunging sales and massive debt, the true cause was looting of assets by Edward S. Lampert and his E.S.L. Investments.

The 'MyPillow guy', a big fan of former President Donald Trump, has for months been spouting unproven & unhinged conspiracy theories alleging that Trump actually won
re-election; and on Friday 5 February 2021, he bought out a three-hour spot on the far-right One America News Network to host a so-called documentary outlining his very false
claims; the show starts with an epic disclaimer from O.A.N.N.; now facing tough times, it seems: MyPillow's last remaining mall store in Shakopee, MN closed 9/2022. In March 2024, Mike Lindell's My Pillow was being evicted from their Minnesota warehouse.
