The word “fascism” has been used generously in the public square in the last few years – with many people accusing their political opponents of being “fascist” in their beliefs — usually because there is a perception or reality that they seek to impose those beliefs upon others.
What is the origin of the word “fascism”? It dates back to the Roman Empire, when those who enforced the law were portrayed in bas relief holding a bundle of sticks resembling a poster case, with an axe affixed to it. A fascio is a bundle, or “league.” The word predates Benito Mussolini even in modern Italy, as many groups including labor unions used the word to apply to a “league.”
But first: BREAKING NEWS: President Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was arrested in Miami on Tuesday. Some reports were saying he was going to be “processed” and held “loosely” by U.S. Marshals. Other reports said he is “in federal custody.” The latter sounds much scarier. This is the first time a former U.S President has been arrested by the federal Department of Justice. Last month he was arrested by the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg.
There’s a giant hole where the news should be. Under most circumstances, the following stories would be considered a big deal. Only now, when the only goal of the media industrial complex is to destroy one flashy billionaire, are these stories buried.
But these stories — and the ignorance about them — will have consequences for every single American. They reach into our schools and our homes. But for some reason, they have been minimized, censored and discredited by both corporate and social media.
The key to understanding Twitter is to realize that it’s a den of child exploitation, and that the company’s default position is that explicit material is unknowingly becoming part of its revenue stream. But there is evidence going back 10 years that the company is at a minimum guilty of placing children at the bottom of its priority list.
As of December 2020, Twitter received the lowest overall rating, compared to other platforms – including Bing, Facebook, Pornhub, and XVideos – by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection® for its reporting structure of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)..
Further, the mail-ballot rejection rate in 2016 was magnitudes higher than in 2020, in spite of showing far fewer total ballots mailed. In 2016, 461 ballots were rejected out of 13,000-plus, an error rate of 3.46 percent. But in 2020, 232 mail ballots were rejected out of a total of 371,798, the state reported. That’s an error rate of 0.1 percent. If the same error rate from 2016 had been applid to Philadelphia in the 2020 election, 12,864 votes would have been rejected as in error. In fact, several major media outlets warned before the election that if 2016’s error rate were applied, it would result in a lot of disenfranchisement. In the end, that error rate simply was not repeated.
In Pennsylvania, 293,207 more mailed ballots were counted for Biden than registered Democrats returned ballots: 1,996,000 versus 1,702,000.

Last-minute switcheroos are common in the Canada drug importation proposals: who can forget the outcry from progressives when in early January 2017, Cory Booker and several other Democrats voted against Sen. Bernie Sanders’ amendment (co-sponsored with Sen. Amy Klobuchar) to the lame-duck budget resolution that would have “establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to lower prescription drug prices for Americans by importing drugs from Canada.”
