'It Can't Happen Here' A novel written by Sinclair Lewis it was published in 1935, strange how sometimes fiction comes close to reality. Thankfully he won't become the President of the United States to make the novel a reality


A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler’s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press. Called “a message to thinking Americans” It Can’t Happen Here is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today’s news and who is running for president spewing the same trash as the novel's fictional President.

A much better representation of what is happening today is, The Day the Dollar Dies by Willard Cantelon. Not to be confused with the Day the Dollar Died.
You will never look at a politician the same again. You will understand all of their agendas.

We were not set up as a democracy...we were set up as a Republic...which means that 50.01 percent cannot dictate to the other 49.99 percent on what they may or may not do that impedes on their God given rights to exist on this planet.....democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding on what to have for lunch...no? Fascism reared it's ugly head here in America back in the 1930's with FDR when he made the people turn in their gold (which is real money) for Federal Reserve Notes under the threat of imprisonment and due to the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy of 1933, all "persons" (which according to Black's Law Dictionary equals a corporate entity) our sweat equity was pledged against the debt and every citizen born thereafter was made surety on the debt to the very bankers that caused the Crash of 1929 (via our birth certificate printed on bond paper) and funded Hitler's rise to power. They also recruited Smedley Butler to command a 500,000 man army to bring about a coup de'etat that would have ousted FDR and install a fascist dictatorship. Their plan to take over our monetary system succeeded, their plan to crash the market that enabled them to buy up corporations that they coveted (for pennies on the dollar) succeeded....their plan to make us all indentured debt slaves succeeded...what was to stop them but one very patriotic gentleman? They didn't count on Smedley Butler. What did FDR do to these traitors? Not a damn thing because they told him that they would implode the shitty economy on their way down. If FDR had any common sense, he could have legally confiscated their wealth, shut down the Fed bank and started printing our own currency and had these traitors stand trial...it would have saved MILLIONS of lives....instead he cratered and allowed them to fund the rise of Hitler that made huge profits off of the backs of slave labor...mostly Jewish folks that were worked into the ground and experimented on. After WWII, these same sick fucks that committed horrific crimes against humanity were allowed to bypass the Nuremburg trails and using the Vatican ratlines, had their backgrounds whitewashed and they were brought into the United States under the OSS program "Operation Paperclip" and they were given positions of power in the military industrial complex and the OSS that later became the CIA. The final coup de 'etat was the day that the CIA had Kennedy killed and every president since then has been an establishment puppet. Do I believe that Trump is legit? Not really because I view everything with a jaundiced eye because I know a lot of things....but I would rather take my chances with Trump than I would an Illuminati **** like Hillary that will not even have to wait in line when she gets to hell...they will move her right to the front. She should be doing hard time just for the crimes she committed when she was laundering drug money for the CIA during her days at the Rose Law firm and her use of the Arkansas DPS to strong-arm people that could testify against what a pervert Bill "drop trou" was thus damaging his and her chances of being the face of the franchise that is USA.INC....this lesson is free......learn, grow, evolve....I know more than you.

Lewis was a socialist...lol
Does that make him wrong?

If God says the world is flat, and Satan says its round, which one is right?

It makes full of shit. I would never trust a Stalinist, who is warning me about fascism.
Rational thinking, not for you then:

"An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attack on an argument made by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, rather than attacking the argument directly."

That was lamer than watching a cat trying to bury shit on a frozen sidewalk........it's about credibility, dumb ass....would you listen to a Nazis preaching against the evils of communism?...Wake the fuck up and try looking at things from every angle instead of your skewed version of how you think things should be....it will only serve you better..,..
 
...would you listen to a Nazis preaching against the evils of communism?

And why would what a Nazi says about _______ be wrong just because they were a Nazi? Was Hitler wrong in liking children? How about a strong national defense?

Where did God ever claim that the world was flat, oval or otherwise? Hitler liked children? Do tell because many Jewish children and children of ethnic groups that didn't fall in line with his racial purity/eugenics program agenda ended up being gassed, starved or incinerated. Seriously, you don't have a fucking clue as to what has been going on for the last 100 plus years....you cling to your little demcrat flag and wave it like a friggin pennant. The time it would take to educate you as to what is is really going on would be an absolute time wasting effort that would end in futility...I have neither the energy nor the time...and that goes for people that back the neocon agenda as well. I know more than you....fact.

There's no difference in fascism and socialism. Both are evil.
 
I know more than you....fact.
And yet, you can't answer simple questions? Interesting...

Do tell, what is Hitler doing wrong here, just because he was a Nazi?

It's not my ability to explain the situation that has you vexed......it's your inability to comprehend and I can't lead you by the hand in order to help you with that. I operate on a higher plane of awareness, thus it makes the chasm that separates us "vast and deep"....you might need to do a Google search for some of those words and look up the definitions....best always.

How about answers, not dogma? These are, after all, simple questions.

Your "higher plane" apparently doesn't allow you to answer simple questions, like why is a Nazi wrong just because he's a Nazi?

Einstein was a bad father. Does that mean E=MC2 is wrong?

Both are evil, period. Anyone who says otherwise are full of shit.
