One of the central elements of fascism is the government institutions bending to serve the will of corporations, punishing people…and engaging in blatant and bold propaganda.
We see all of this on display monstrously within the current administrations of government, both state and federal. But nowhere is this most obscene abuse more blatant with the United States Department of Justice and their prosecution and coddling of banks and their special band of crime and criminals.
Make no mistake, America is no longer a functioning democracy….it is a fascist plutocracy.
Whenever will the American people wake up?
(and what happens when they do?)
After their initial story, I asked a Justice Department spokeswoman, Adora Andy, several times over the course of a month for a list of the people charged and their case details so I could look them up myself. She promised repeatedly to provide one, until she finally stopped responding to my requests.
Her e-mails to me were priceless. On Oct. 19, Andy said: “We’ll have a list to you — it will take some time to pull it together.” On Oct. 26, she said: “You will get a list,” explaining that “this is a labor-intensive process.” On Nov. 5, she said: “It looks like we should have the list to you by the end of the week if not sooner.” On Nov. 13: “Hold tight. Finalizing things on this end. Should have something to you tonight.” Again, no list. “I assure you I’m working as hard as I can to get this to you along with the lead agency on this matter, FBI,” she said later that same day. “It’s just very laborious with so much going on and so little staff.”
