Sowing the Seeds of Fascism in America: Repost From October 14, 2006

Author Stan Goff, a retired 26-year veteran of the U.S. Army Special Forces, sounds a warning call that many of the historical precursors of fascism—white supremacy, militarization of culture, vigilantism, masculine fear of female power, xenophobia and economic destabilization—are ascendant

The Interstate Traveler Hydrogen Superhighway

Repost from November 27, 2007
----------
If the Sunshine State had a real high-speed rail system, how would it look? Unlike most every other type of mass transit, the Hydrogen Superhighway requires no public investment for construction or maintenance. The Interstate Traveler is solar-powered! It manufactures its own hydrogen fuel with the power of the sun.

Dear Diary: November 30, 2020

It has been almost a month since Americans soundly defeated the fascist at the polls. I was awaken early this morning after a long night with friends at The Reservoir. I was shocked to see two well dressed men at my door. They asked me if they could come in to talk to me about the election. They said they were from Homeland Security and wanted to ask me a few questions about it. Of course since I had nothing to hide I told them to come in. I was polite, asked them to sit down and if they wanted me to make them some coffee.  They politely declined. 

I had volunteered in various ways for our new president. I was worried that I was on some kind of list and was in trouble. What they asked me was both shocking and unexpected. They wanted to know if I would give them a list of friends who had voted for and supported the fascist. They said they were rounding them up to stick in some kind of, as they put it "Reeducation Camps."

As misguided and ignorant my friends were they are still my friends. I had no clue what to say.
