Privatizing the government is fascism
Trump, Musk, and company seek to institute profit over people
One of the textbook definitions of fascism is corporate control over the state, much like we’ve seen creeping over the US over the past two centuries, beginning with privatizing money creation and extending to a variety of government services, including those specifically mentioned in the Constitution (Article I, Section 8) that are assigned only to the government, one of these being the Postal Service.
"I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in it's [sic] birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws our country." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to George Logan, Nov. 12th, 1816, http://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/jefferson-the-works-vol-12-correspondence-and-papers-1816-1826
“I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.” —Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President (1801–1809) in a letter written to John Taylor on May 28, 1816
“Corporations have been enthroned. An era of corruption in high places will follow, until wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed.” --Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864, in a letter to Col. William F. Elkins, Abraham Lincoln: A New Portrait, (Vol. 2) by Emanuel Hertz (New York: Horace Liveright Inc, 1931, p. 954.
“This is a government of the people, by the people and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations.” --Rutherford B. Hayes
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people." --Theodore Roosevelt, Platform of the Progressive Party, “Declaration of Principles,” August 7, 1912 and “Theodore Roosevelt, An Autobiography,” 1913 (Appendix B)
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." --Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom : A Call For the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People, Section I: "The Old Order Changeth," p. 13
“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” --Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in a letter to Colonel Edward M. House dated November 21, 1933, as quoted in “F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945.”
To the vulture capitalists in control of both the red and blue parties, the Constitution is an inconvenience in their march towards a fully implemented corporate state, where Federal Reserve Notes (a private bank currency) supplants citizen votes.
To accomplish the privatization of the Postal Service, the corporate puppets in Congress passed legislation mandating that the USPS fund its pensions 75 years in advance and then claim, like Trump, that the agency is running a deficit. This is a lie and deserves to be countered by censure and impeachment if necessary, for violating the oath of office to defend the Constitution.
Trump considers privatizing U.S. Postal Service, Washington Post reports
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has expressed a keen interest in privatizing the U.S. Postal Service in recent weeks, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing three people with knowledge of the matter.
The U.S. Post Office, which has lost more than $100 billion since 2007, reported a net loss of $9.5 billion for its fiscal year ending Sept. 30, a $3-billion bigger loss than last year, largely due to a year-over-year increase in non-cash workers’ compensation expense.
Under the cover of “government inefficiency,” the Trump initiated DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), a non-government agency headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, has taken aim at Social Security:
New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu is bullish on a billionaire-led effort to cut social safety nets for working-class Americans — including the political third rail of Social Security.
Semafor reporter David Weigel recently interviewed Sununu, who is retiring after his successor, Republican Governor-elect Kelly Ayotte, assumes office on January 8. The Granite State governor expressed optimism about billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency," or "DOGE," (which is not yet an actual federal agency authorized by Congress) which he is co-leading with billionaire pharmaceutical investor Vivek Ramaswamy.
While Musk and Ramaswamy's advisory panel is expected to recommend the elimination of various labor and environmental regulations and the firing of thousands of public sector workers, Sununu is particularly hoping they will pursue cuts to both Medicare and Social Security.
Sununu compared Musk and Ramaswamy's efforts to former President George W. Bush's failed proposal to privatize Social Security in 2005.
This attempt at privatizing publicly endowed funds built from the taxation of the working class is part of a larger strategy encapsulated in the UN’s World Economic Forum. Their motto: “You will own nothing and be happy.” Given that the handful of financiers who are perpetrating this crime against humanity include foreign nationals, then anyone in the US government who works for them is committing treason.
Clearly, the people’s response to these treasonous intentions should be: “You will be imprisoned and be unhappy.”
