In Part 1, I tried to demolish the new term, “the world together,” mainly by arguing that it’s a scam. Most likely it’s emotional trickery to justify something that the Big Boys want.  Anyway, for us to join all other peoples in a mega-group, by sacrificing national sovereignty, is a lousy idea. One ruler at the very top would make us feel tiny and helpless.

Here in Part 2, the goal is different. I want to say “Stop using the two words liberal and fascist, as they have shifted so much in their definitions and usages.”  And, as a separate matter, “Please dump the word Progressive, as its history is so loaded with false propaganda.”

Liberal

In the 1970s I was a liberal, as it was called in those days in the US. The magazine that best expressed my yearnings, if you could call it that, was The Nation. It was pro-human rights, pro wars of liberation, if I remember correctly, and anti-Big Boys — though we had no notion of how big those big boys really were, much less who they were.

Then I came to Australia in 1980.  I was surprised to learn that my husband, George, voted Liberal, as I thought he was a conservative type.  Then it was explained to me that the word “liberal” in Australia means conservative. Well, I guess national differences are OK — Brits eat dinner by putting a fork in their mouth upside down, we Seppo’s wield the fork like a shovel.

Before long I saw myself as a conservative.  I joined the libs in Australia probably because the wife follows the husband. Thus, when I hopped up to America in 2005/6, I ran for Congress as a Republican. As you can see from my campaign website, almost all the planks in the Republican platform suit me to a T.  I should have been there all along, but Boston Catholics think they are dyed-in-the-wool Democrats. (A Republican is someone who lives on Beacon Hill, right Mommy?)

Nowadays we have a group of people in the US called Liberals who are … um … I don’t really know what they are.  I suspect they have been brainwashed as some of their plans are irrational. Since Hillary Clinton is a leader in this group, it appears that Liberals would not be able to countenance any of her sins, be it in Haiti, in Libya, or in the pedo circles. This is really a pity as it holds back a huge group of citizens from understanding the power plays and maybe the role of occult.

Note: On the subject of the occult, the largest publicity that appears in print here is all friendly and innocent. You can take a course in “wicca affairs” in some universities.

The Liberals include the Black Lives Matter folks, and liberals have taken possession of the rainbow LGBT community. Negativity abounds, and with no humor. The old magazine, The Nation, used to be side-splittingly witty. It still exists but is dour. And high-priced colleges in US (formerly “the snotty set”) are competing to see who can do the most to teach white blame for all things wrong in the world. Needless to say, Greta Thunberg is a heroine to the Liberals.

I hope I am not appearing as a well-informed observer.  It’s all kind of Greek to me.

If you go to the Wikipedia entry for “George Soros” you will find a huge entry, surely written by his team.  It mentions all the philanthropies that he supports, but gives no indication of his politics.  It does mention that Malaysia’s President Mahathir Mohamad was not pleased when Soros destroyed that country’s economy deliberately by buying up the currency.

I imagine if a man can wreck a small country, he wouldn’t lose any sleep over wrecking the US.  Soros is said to be the main backer of Kamala Harris and is the hidden voice of AOC, also known as Occasional Cortex. One wonders if Occasional has a clue as to the ultimate game being played here. i wonder if she has ever entertained a conspiracy theory about, say, the Marathon bombing.

By the way, articles in some academic journals (which are easy to find via Google Scholar) paint Soros as a follower of Karl Popper since Soros uses the name Open Society for his Foundations.  Oh please.

Fascist

Another word we should simply abjure, eschew, jettison, and flush, is “fascism.” There is no point trying to say that it used to mean something in Mussolini’s heyday (from 1922 to 19543).

Nor is there much point sleuthing the etymology to find that the word fasces meant sticks in a bundle carried by the “lictors” in Rome in classical times, to indicate the ruler’s ability to punish.  Although I guess the history of the word is a handy reminder that a fascist ruler is authoritarian and harsh and proud of it.

Fascism also means racism and nationalism. You love your country and urge your countrymen to stand up against those awful foreigners.   So what’s new?

To sum up my argument so far, though it may be over-dignifying it to call it an argument, the time has come to cross two words out of our vocabulary: liberal and fascist. They are more trouble than they are worth. Or maybe I should say they are not enough trouble — they let the speaker get away with inanities. Can we please focus on reality instead?

Progressive

I had first entitled this article “Liberalism, Fascism, Progressivism” Then I changed it to “liberal, fascist, and progressive.” It would be unhelpful, would it not, to trace the “ism” of a thing if we don’t even know what the thing is.

I must say I had thought there was a clearly identifiable movement around the early 1900s called Progressivism. But I have now visited the Encyclopedia Britannica’s article on the Progressive Era and all hopes are dashed.  My guess now is that there were 2000 mules in that era, just like today. Many small groups of eager believers, and a lot of manipulation.

The muckrakers gave the public flavor to progressivism. There was Upton Sinclair — what a peculiar name, Upton — revealing the hygiene flaws of the meat industry, in his book The Jungle. There was Ida Tarbell’s book The History of the Standard Oil.  Frankly, when I looked through that book years ago, I got the immediate impression that she wrote it in cahoots with John D Rockefeller.

Progressivism is said to have involved the political principles of President Theodore Roosevelt, a cousin of the later president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I am so jaded now that I can’t believe there was ever a president with principles. Principle?  What’s that?

Like Elvis Pressley, I have a suspicious mind. Teddy Roosevelt, after whom the teddy bear is named but that’s an aside, acquired the White House residency by way of the assassination of President McKinley (1843-1901). The shooter was Lee Harvey Czolgosz, oops I mean Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist. You know how those anarchists are. McKinley had promoted the protective tariff and the gold standard. What anarchist could tolerate that?

It strikes me odd that the progressive crowd today is willing to use such an old-fashioned word as progressive. Do they believe in progress?  OK, progress to what?  Hmm. The following is from the website of the Progressive Party (which says it is continuing the legacy of Bernie Sanders):

“What starts at the Progressive Party changes the world. Together, through one of the largest fundraising efforts in our history, we will open doors to revitalize the American democracy, empower progressive leaders, create healthier communities and solve agonizing issues.”

Look, how about the agonizing issue of lexical confusion? If we don’t know what words mean when we use them, the likelihood is that someone who is on the ball has inserted those words into the public’s lingo for purposes of controlling them. Most people are generous, so who wouldn’t support a progressive cause such as helping the poor?

Who wouldn’t support “revitalizing American democracy”? You just know that the Progressives are having street parties to celebrate Dinesh D’Souza’s movie 2000 Mules, which is the biggest revitalizer we have ever had.  You just know the Progressives are lining up to ask the DoJ to prosecute the mules, right? And they will urge the impeachment of Joe and Kamala.

Bottom line: we need to do better. We could just go back to Machiavelli (1469-1527) who knew what he was talking about. “Big boys take advantage of ordinary folk. Big boys have no morals and will stop at nothing. To be a big boy you should lie and deceive to the max. Go for it, O Medici Prince. If you don’t, somebody else will.”

  2. Dear readers, with all respect for Mary, I suggest that the previous article is more relevant for the next five days to the election here in Australia……. We are dealing with OUR AUSTRALIAN SOCEREIGNTY.

    • Shouldn’t that be SORCEREREIGNTY since Swissy set up his pyramid on top of parliament on top of the highest mountains in Australia it has all been one huge con led by the communo-fascist controlled ALP and an adequate number of corrupt infiltrators on the blue side.
      But there is common ground with words being debauched and the current quagmire, one example is the word “freedom”, as in “soldiers fought and died for our freedom”. Now our political classes have dismembered freedom and the resulting components are called “freedoms” which are adjustable. For example breathing the air was part of “freedom” but that is now denied under W.H.O. mandates. Kids growing up in this “breathing is a privilege not a right” regime will think it’s normal.
      Another example is the pussyfooting around with certain taboo verbiage, heavy penalties used to exist for blasphemy, they seem to have died out with a particular generation, now we have new taboos, you can’t mention race, tip toe around with hints like “olive-skinned” or “Sri-Lankan national”, but without actual freedom (1st amendment style) it seems we can’t even say the simplest things. Take for example this massacre, potentially massaged by the Deep State gun abolition lobby, but treated by the media as if there are no racist/nationalist/tribal connotations. Eventually the truth comes out and it turns out, it was a Chinese shooting some Taiwanese !!! Apparently teh guy got bashed up some years ago.

      • Hmm, Iceland enjoys free heating?! :-/

        Another Nordic one Mary. Here is what Turkey says about Se (and Fi?) wanting to join NATO. I believe Croatia will say the same.

        “These countries do not have a clear unequivocal stance against terrorist organizations. Sweden is the incubation center of terrorist organizations. They bring terrorists to talk in their parliaments. <…> We wouldn’t say ‘yes’ to them joining NATO, a security organization <…> They were going to come on Monday to convince us. Sorry, they don’t have to bother,” Erdogan said.

    • Thanks, Tony, I did neglect to state that important definion of fascism: business control of government.

      But now that you ask if a party is fascist, it makes me think of what goes in the Party room.

      I mean, does any serious dicussion of anything go on there? Isn’t it just the handing out of instructioins?

          • Rothschild’s Banks shipped the Wests manufacturing industry from the West to the East under their introduction of the New Economic Order.

          • Please see this document for proof that jews were behind placing the psychopath mass torturer murderer Mao in China to kill off more than 60 million Chinese for necessary communist social restructuring there. https://archive.org/details/LibraryOfPoliticalSecrets4-ChineseCommunismAndChineseJews1969

            And see this for the jew behind putting Mao in power. https://culturewars.com/news/sidney-rittenberg-china

            And you must read this for the real scoop on jews behind communist China. For all those interested in why China turned communist.

          • As far as I heard ChiangKai Shek was reperesenting the upper classes and did a reckless massacre too many, the masses were ready to rise up, possibly some European bank loaned him money for weapons, as is happening now in reverse, the Japanese today are loaning Ukraine money, does this mean Japan kept Zelensky in power ??? Or did Biden tell them to do it. Would the Japanese risk their precious savings on a crappy war-torn place that is getting demolished ???
            Unfortunately you are so eaten up by race-hate I don’t bother to check out your links, and things like your frequently re-published “Protocols” scream fake.
            Fake does not become truth unless you are part of the controllers.

          • Joe, stating the facts is not hate speech. Your version of history is not factual, but just as your prejudice wants to imagine it to be.

          • I have accused you of supplying misinformation to support your unbalanced and relentless race-focussed attacks. So try to redeem yourself if you please and tell me what my version of history is.

  6. Fascist Germany? Fuellmich sounded the warning. Prof. Bhakdi said last year, that he and his family felt threatened and may need to leave Germany.

    Article in German “Zuerst” 16 May 2022 (Quick translation.)

    Kiel/Ploen. It seems like the revenge of Germany, the State of “ Corona Mandates”: the microbiologist and bestselling author Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi, who during the “pandemic” was one of the most prominent “warning bells” against mRNA vaccination, is now facing charges of “incitement to hatred”.
    https://zuerst.de/2022/05/16/wegen-angeblicher-volksverhetzung-mikrobiologe-prof-bhakdi-angeklagt/

    The Schleswig-Holstein (German state bordering Denmark) Public Prosecutor’s Office accuses Bhakdi of inciting hatred against Jews living in Germany in an interview in April 2021 in connection with critical words about Israel’s vaccination policy with generalizing statements and of having maliciously disparaged them as a religious group.
    In addition, Bhakdi is said to have given a speech at a campaign event on September 24, 2021 in Kiel (port city north Germany), in which he spoke of the approval of Covid-19 vaccines in connection with an “end goal”. He spoke of a “second Holocaust”, which is said to have played down the fate of Jews under the Nazi regime.

    The public prosecutor’s office in Kiel initially discontinued investigations into this matter against Bhakdi. The Attorney General’s Office later took it up again. The procedure is to be negotiated at the district court in Plön.
    Bhakdi was Professor of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene in Mainz. His book “Corona False Alarm?” was one of the best-selling non-fiction books of 2020. (rk)

      • Do I remember correctly, Netanyahu was still in power when ordering plenty of Pfizer shots (like Oz) paid plenty, US $ 30 each. Did Pfizer return parts of the payments to Netanyahu?

        Also I wonder, did the German judiciary hold off the proceedings against Bhakdi until after the German general elections – a “friendly” government was installed Sep? 2021.

        • Everything is kickbacks, and now they have “non-fungible tokens”, you can pay $500,000 for a hyperlink to a jpeg and nobody thinks twice about it.
          You want some “wet work” done, just buy an NFT from the mafia, you could even say your kids pressed “buy now”.

  8. A purge on misused and overused emotive words that play on all sorts of misconceptions would have to include “satanism”:
    “There is a large amount of misunderstanding surrounding this word. Somehow it has become the name of the Evil One, although it was never intended to be. Satan simply means adversary or opposer. It may come as a shock to find out that some very good people were called a satan.”
    https://hebrewwordlessons.com/2019/06/16/satan-adversary-is-not-a-name/

  9. There’s no need to abolish words just because they changed, the latest in-fasion word which we now hear every day is “egregious” which means godawful in today’s language but I looked up the etymology once and apparently it used to mean very good. Likewise the word for black used to be “negro” but now it is apparently a slur. It all depends on context and tone.
    As for liberal, the Liberal Party of Australia is trying out the name LNP, now, “Liberal National” almost makes sense. National Party used to be called Country Party. Is this some long term scheme ?
    In England they used made-up names such as “whig” and “tory”, the Tories used to be progressive but are now conservative. But just like here, both sides are owned.

    • Joe, the examples you gave are of a change of meaning over time. But what I am trying to disparage is conntemporaries all saying a word — such as “liberal” — and meaning apples, oranges, and paw-paw.

      • The youth of the 90s was prone to using “sick & wicked” in lieu of “beneficial & auspicious”
        Throughout the 1st half of the 20th century calling someone a “square” meant that they were trustworthy and reliable, but by the mid 50s it was derogatory term used against those who refused to acknowledge the worth of all things new, as immortalised by king Creole:

        Irrespective of how harmless such corruption might appear, it’s principally no different to the political cant of the hour

        • “Square” fell victim to the Deep State / Globalists with their Vietnamese Civil War arms fiesta. Those pesky Globalists infiltrate everything. Where are the baby boomers now, most of them seem to be scared of the flu.

      • It’s a battle-ground, look at them now with “Before Christian Era” instead of BC and AD, it’s just a complete fraud, the Christian Era was only around Europe until roughly 1500 and they are trying to say their “CE” was global since 1AD.
        If I see it I stop reading.
        Poxy globalists are altering stuff as fast as they can, look at the journalists, they have been told to use the word lockstep at every opportunity to dilute the impact of Rockerfellas’ LockStep manifesto.
        Fascist is now bi-polar, it means industrialists running government &/or with jackboots.
        Communist means centralised government &/or with population reduction programs.
        It all depends what dialect you are speaking in, urban lefty or rural conservative.
        They are trying to overhaul Norse all the time, first they came up with Nynorsk and more recently in Denmark they want people to call a heart a “blood-pumper”. Just to retain “Norseness” they invent “data machine” instead of computer.
        Then the back people start contracting their greetings to “S’up”.
        Globalists ahve got everything stitched up because of TV. Frank Zappa was telling everyone, died age about 50 for his trouble.
        This is how much the Globalists hated Frank Zappa, 50 years ago he did a song called “I’m the slime” and the lyrics were :

        “I am gross and perverted
        I’m obsessed ‘n deranged
        I have existed for years
        But very little has changed
        I’m the tool of the Government
        And industry too
        For I am destined to rule
        And regulate you

        I may be vile and pernicious
        But you can’t look away
        I make you think I’m delicious
        With the stuff that I say
        I’m the best you can get
        Have you guessed me yet?
        I’m the slime oozin’ out
        From your TV set

        You will obey me while I lead you
        And eat the garbage that I feed you
        Until the day that we don’t need you
        Don’t go for help… no one will heed you
        Your mind is totally controlled
        It has been stuffed into my mold
        And you will do as you are told
        Until the rights to you are sold

        That’s right, folks…
        Don’t touch that dial

        Well, I am the slime from your video
        Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor”

        Now you look up the lyrics on google and the Google owners have written totally new fake ones, about some feminist stuff.

          • There should be a roll-call of celebrities who talked too much and got snuffed. along with Zappa, Rik Mayall from “The Young Ones” TV show, Anthony Bourdain the Gourmet Traveller, there must be lots more.
            I wonder what Bob Crane was talking about.
            “Bob Crane is most famous for his role in ‘Hogan’s Heroes’. On June 29, 1978, the star was found dead in his apartment in Scottsdale, Arizona. He had been bludgeoned to death with a blunt object. At this time, he was just 49 years of age. Although the murder weapon was never found, it is believed that a camera tripod was used. Crane also had electrical cord tied around his neck. The local police were not equipped for this type of investigation and the evidence found was flimsy to say the least. John Henry Carpenter was arrested for the murder but there was insufficient evidence to press charges. The case was reopened in 1990. This time, there was enough evidence to arrest and charge Carpenter. In 1998, Carpenter was finally acquitted, and he maintained his innocence until he died four years later. Therefore, this case remains unsolved.”

            Even Lou Reed has been commenting, or perhaps making veiled threats:
            “Let’s hear one for Newspaper Joe (Newspaper Joe)
            he caught his hand in the door (caught his hand in the door)
            Dropped his, ah, teeth on the floor, they say
            hey, now Joe guess that’s the way the news goes”

            I looked this up on google first and they have deleted all of this lyric and replaced it with:
            “Caught his hand in the door
            Guess that’s where …”
            Literally, that’s all they show.
            I guess the AI will “fix” the song for streaming one day.

            Another great purge of history is underway.

  10. By chance i just found the word “fascistoid” at juscogens.org in an article by Wolfgang Jeschke, Rubikon, 3 February 2021(translated from German with Deepl Pro), called “Total propaganda war”. He said:

    There are considerable rhetorical parallels between Joseph Goebbels‘ “Sports Palace Speech” [of 1943] and the hold-out slogans of today’s Corona hardliners.

    To persevere, to do without, to make sacrifices, to rally unconditionally behind the leadership of the country. Community spirit comes before self-interest. In these difficult days, no one must “pass by” the all-dominant issue. Everything must be arranged around this one issue. Whoever lets himself have a good time in this struggle of his people’s fate, while others suffer, mocks the victims. Therefore, everything that has to do with “fun” must be radically eradicated … Merkel? Lauterbach? No Goebbels! …..

    Joseph Goebbels’ … most famous sentence in it is the question: “Do you want total war? But we are interested here in other statements, the fascist language, the recognisable motives and the manipulative distortion of reality. …

    The language used by those responsible for the [corona] crisis also bears the hallmarks of totalitarian language. Measures are “without alternative”, opponents of measures are “enemies”, “deniers”, “terrorists”, “enemies of the people” and worse. The language in the Corona crisis is riddled with fascistoid elements of defamation, persecution, exclusion.
