Chapter seventy-five

I'm sorry for taking a few hours off.

Post a small article written today to make everyone laugh.

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 was the last nail in the coffin before the lid of the coffin for burying the Constitution was fully closed. The whole of America has since become a big battlefield. In this battlefield, the U.S. government and military can do whatever they want against anyone, without any judicial oversight and without any constitutional constraints. Once the National Defense Authorization Act goes into effect, the Bill of Rights will no longer protect U.S. citizens from government violations, and the Constitution will no longer be the supreme law of the United States

[Editor's note: The 2012 U.S. National Defense Authorization Act has been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.] The bill will be submitted to Obama after being coordinated by the House and Senate. Once Obama signs it and the bill goes into effect, the personal and democratic rights of American citizens will be seriously violated. The latest news suggests that Obama will not use his veto power to veto the bill. As the author points out, the essence of the bill is to legally subvert the bourgeois constitutional democracy in the United States and lay the legal foundation for the future evolution of the United States into an authoritarian police state. Comrades who are familiar with the modern history of the world may know that in those days, the German mustache was given unfettered dictatorial power after the so-called "Enabling Act" was passed by the German Reichstag. Today, American capitalism is gradually encroaching on the democratic rights of the American people through one National Defense Authorization Act after another, and is making legal preparations for the establishment of bourgeois fascist rule in the future. This is a manifestation of the decay and dying of the entire capitalist system, and further proves that capitalism has completely degenerated into a reactionary social system in history and is on the verge of extinction. ]

The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act of the United States, once signed into law by the President, will effectively ring the death knell of our constitutional republic and mark the beginning of the United States as a legally enshrined police state. The House of Representatives and the Senate have already passed the bill on May 26 and December 1 of this year, respectively. Now, Barak? Obama, as an expert on constitutional issues, will make the final decision. Obama will decide whether the Bill of Rights, which he himself studied and researched at Harvard, will be overturned by the bill he personally signed into law. The Bill of Rights refers to the provisions of the U.S. Constitution that protect the personal and political rights of citizens, i.e., the First Amendment to the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.)

Sections 1031 and 1032 of the National Defense Authorization Act provide that the administration may detain U.S. citizens indefinitely for as long as the president deems it necessary, without the need for charge and trial. Under the law, federal officials can detain any U.S. citizen on suspicion, without having to present evidence to any judge and obtain permission to arrest. The government does not need to provide any evidence to suspend the constitutional rights of any U.S. citizen. The suspicion may be based on the fact that the person has been and is a member of a "suspicious organization" in the past. If government officials deem someone to pose a threat to "national security," they will effectively have unfettered authority to arbitrarily arrest, interrogate, and detain a law-abiding citizen indefinitely. The bill also authorizes the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force to detain any U.S. citizen anywhere in the world for "national security" purposes, without due process under the law. The term "due process" here is what liberal legal circles in China often call "procedural justice".)

Once the bill goes into effect, it will not only be the U.S. Constitution that will be undermined, but the entire modern judicial tradition of the West. The most basic concept of the law of the civilized world is that people cannot be arbitrarily detained without charge, and that detainees cannot be detained indefinitely without trial. These principles date back to Greco-Roman times, and were further developed in the English common law tradition after the English Magna Carta in 1215 and further promoted during the Age of Enlightenment in the eighteenth century. The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are designed to implement these principles, and thus become the supreme law of the United States.

In the two centuries since the creation of the U.S. Constitution, it is precisely because the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution have given the American people the inalienable right to freedom that the United States has won the admiration of people all over the world. Yet, since 9/11, our nation seems to be under such great threat that our nation's leaders are willing to absolve all the inalienable rights on which our republic rests. We have to ask ourselves whether we will continue to exist as a democracy, whether we will continue to open up new territories for the realization of freedom and justice for all; Or, we would rather be a military and police state, a country where democracy has been eroded by bankers** and militarism. Like the Spartans of ancient Greece, who lived in a constant state of emergency? (Translation: The reader can ignore the bourgeois and * position shown by the original author here.)

After seeing this news, I suddenly remembered the era of the Great Depression in the United States, in which in order to solve the problem, the United States actually changed from bourgeois free competition to a government monopoly, and its degree of dictatorship was far from being comparable to that of the Soviet Union and China. In order to maintain this authoritarian system, the United States carried out the Great Purge. The author would like to give a brief introduction to this great purge. In the future, I will write about the great counterattack of the McCarthy era against the "peaceful evolution of communism". And McCarthy notes how the movement kills peaceful evolution.

In 1929, the Great Depression struck, and the United States was plunged into a full-blown crisis. Roosevelt took office in a hurry, and in order to cope with the crisis, various consortia had to hand over a great deal of power to the president.

Either to give money, or to people, for example, the Morgan consortium handed over its private soldiers to the president.

In response to the crisis, the United States carried out a brutal purge at home. It was more intense than the Great Purge of the Soviet Union.

First, with regard to the banking sector, which triggered the crisis, the U.S. domestic consortium has adopted a drastic slashing approach against the banks controlled by foreign conglomerates. A famous song during the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, the big knife slashes at the head of the devil. In the case of the American banking industry during the Great Depression, it was a knife that slashed at the heads of Jews and Europeans. Of course, after all, the United States was already an industrial country back then, and most of the people who did black work were Italians and Irish, so the ghost head knife naturally did not become the mainstream. Pistols, ropes, daggers became the main tools of killing.

Among the tens of thousands of bankrupt banks, nearly 100,000 "foreign" (Jewish and European) shareholders disappeared, and a large number of banks and enterprises fell into a situation where no one inherited, and finally they were swallowed up by local American conglomerates.

Secondly, the killing of socialists.

The mafia in the United States is rampant, and the reason why the mafia can exist is not only because they have influence in the underground order, but also because black and white collusion has always been the main reason for the existence of the mafia. One of the main services provided by the mafia to the authorities was the assassination of leaders of socialist activities. Intimidation and beating of people demanding social change. Pinkerton's mercenary group is in the tens of thousands, and this is already a semi-official organization. And more private soldiers of big business are more violent, and when the private soldiers of the Walker Phil consortium swept through the coal blacks, the coal blacks almost had two guns per person. After the sweep of the underworld and the private soldiers of the consortium, the grassroots masses who advocated socialist revolution were almost swept away.

The number of people killed by the mafia and private soldiers can be counted in 100,000.

Again, the killing of a way of life that betrayed "white puritanism."

The Great Depression greatly weakened the power of the corporations and strengthened the power of the president. The management of the underworld and private soldiers is on the agenda. For this management, Roosevelt appointed a well-known figure, J. Edgar Hoover.

After Hoover took office, on the one hand, he carried out a brutal crackdown on organized crime, and there is a movie in the United States called "The Public Enemy", which tells an epic gangster saga and focuses on the short and dangerous life of the famous bank* criminal John Dillinger (Johnny Depp).

Eradicating organized crime everywhere is one of the major initiatives taken by FBI Director Hoover after taking office during the Great Depression. I used to think that there was nothing wrong with this, but in China's case, this is called "using the code in troubled times".

And Director Hoover wasn't just about exterminating criminals, homosexuality, and all kinds of non-Puritan lifestyles were within the scope of his iron fist.

What Director Hoover wanted to show the American people through his actions was that anyone who failed to conform to the white puritanical way of life must be exterminated. Coupled with the cooperation of the media, the U.S. government has proposed a way of life for the people -- first you have to be white, and you have to be a believer, and you have to be obedient, and you have to not sin. The most important thing is that you follow the government's orders. Anyone who violated this way of life was brutally persecuted and killed.

This kind of persecution and killing, in the name of the law, is merciless, and it is completely slaughtered.

Final statistics.

In fact, this kind of statistics cannot produce accurate data, because the United States knows public relations very well, and a large number of materials and information have been destroyed, and insiders have been intimidated and even eliminated by various means.

According to the three-year pattern of some people's statistics, the United States lost nearly 10 million people during the Great Depression. In other words, one out of ten people was persecuted and killed. (Crazy cat spoof laughter)

JY calculates the death toll of the Great Depression in the United States according to the population growth rate, so we can also calculate the death toll of the Great Depression in the United States according to the population growth rate:

1920 106.02 million

123.2 million in 1930

132.16 million in 1940

151.32 million in 1950

1960 179.32 million

In 1920~1930, the number of people increased by 17 million;

In 1930~1940, the number increased by 8.96 million;

In 1940~1950, the number increased by 19.16 million;

In 1950~1960, the number of people increased by 28 million.

According to the calculation method of JY, the United States should have increased by 1800+ million people in 1930~1940~ but only 8.96 million ~ so the United States starved to death by 900+ million.

But this great purge in the United States also played a role, first uniting the white people, who were the main race in the United States at that time, completely suppressing other ethnic groups of all colors, and purging the social order. Even if the American people starved to death, they did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool and did not dare to raise objections to the political system at that time. Of course, those who dare to disagree have been systematically eliminated from the spiritual to the **.

It made the American people weep, wail, starve, die of disease, and purified the social atmosphere of the United States.

The impact of these measures was long-lasting, and in the '60s and '70s, college students who dared to oppose the government were shot and wounded by the National Guard, but their parents firmly believed that they were wrong. If they hadn't made a mistake, how could they have been shot by the relevant state departments? (This is a fact, and the surviving college students, when they recall the incident, shudder to state the general opposition to them in society.)

In terms of scale and intensity, the purges of the Great Depression in the United States are far better than those of the Soviet Union, and they can be described as famous things in the history of human countries. The only thing that can be compared to it is the Victorian era, the massacre of urban "mobs". (Steal a few shillings to get guillotined, and a ten-year-old thief is exiled to Australia)
