The journey to where the people of the Republic of the United States find themselves began in 1913 when Woodrow Wilson was elected; when the 16^th and 17^th Amendments were passed and the Federal Reserve created. It took 20 years to begin the actual journey and with the installation of FDR in 1933, the door began to open wide for the destruction of the republic by convincing the people to depend on government.

FDR was able to begin social programs that depended on general tax payments and deficit spending. As the programs grew, the people began to depend on the government for what they couldn’t provide for themselves. It took several years for the dependence to grow, but as the years passed more and more people began to realize that they could depend on government to give them the things they desired. Then the mantra became one of, “I can’t do it on my own, I need government to help me.”

At some point, the people began to believe due to government propaganda that it was the rich who were holding them back. So they began to demand more from the rich by the means of government’s force through enactment of laws. But the rich morphed into the word wealthy and soon the wealthy were not paying their fair share and consequently were depriving all of the dependents of what they believed they were due. Never considering that it was theft by government edict (laws) and entirely wrong, the dependents clamored for more largesse.

Then, much to the delight of the dependents, they were able to elect a man who believed in income redistribution and said so. And redistribute he has done in big chunks, all the way from increase dependence on food stamps (46.7 million) to  ending the requirement to work for welfare benefits to a medical care bill that hands out goodies to all the dependents, all at the expense of those who have more. Socialism is now full blown in a once independent republic.

But while the opponents of the man in the White House are screaming socialism, a more insidious form of government is being implemented. Socialism is morphing into fascism. From the statements made by many, it appears that those speaking and writing do not know the meaning of the word (but perhaps they do and their writing and speech is disinformation) since they accuse the opponents of the man in the White House of being fascists. What is fascism? It is [a] A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. Now think for a moment on what has taken place since 2008.

Student loans are now handled by the government; auto companies were taken over by the man in the White House; mileage of vehicles is set by the government; banks are controlled by the handouts from the treasury and are told what to do and how to do it; health care (improperly named-should be medical care) is dictated by the government; doctors and hospitals are increasingly being controlled by the government; penalties for not conforming to the dictates of the various bureaucracies that control businesses and service. Fascism not only controls businesses, it controls how things are made and what products must do such as gasoline mileage. Energy production at various levels is now controlled by the government. Compare the foregoing to the definition of fascism.

When all the government control that can be called fascism ultimately fails, as it will, two steps remain; communism and a dictatorship. The Republic of the United States isn’t quite there, but it is in inevitable when government controls keep businesses from functioning as they normally would in the free enterprise free market system. A call for full control of all production and all business, plus distribution will be initiated and it will happen at some point as the market controlled systems break down  due to government interference.

Continuous attempts to change history have been made ever since the beginning. History tells us that will not be successful, but the fools will keep trying to hide the truth. Truth is difficult to hide and eventually it will leak out to the chagrin of the planners, dictators and tyrants. However, time is growing short to expose the truth of the foul  deeds of those in power. Either we will stand up as freedom and liberty loving collective of people to put a stop to the intended subjugation or we will bow and say, "What would you have us do, oh human master?" Which one will you choose?
