found this while googling around for stuff on ledeen, the p2, etc... thought it might be of interest to some:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>`I Am No Longer Human.

an excerpt:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>This paper contends that if we do not take seriously the fascist attempt to retool the experience of time, the logic underlying the fascist revolution and its terrifying human consequences will continue to elude us. Fascism's concept of society, of human nature, of history, of culture were so perverted by nationalism, militarism, racism, and male chauvinism that the bid to realize the dream was bound to lead in disaster. Nevertheless the failure of fascism and the catastrophes it led to, and would lead to again if it ever seized power, should not blind us to the deadly earnestness with which its most fervent supporters sought to carry out its revolutionary [sic] mission. We should thus be prepared to devote proper scholarly attention to the fascist jihad against the secular time of liberalism and its attempt to keep at bay `the terror of history' with a fortress of mythic energies.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Thanks for linking to it.<br><br>The Futurist appeal of Fascism is often forgotten now.

think Newt Gingrich and the techno-utopic fantasies of the non-Christian faction of the New American Right. Or H.G. Wells: "Liberalism is dead, there must follow some newborn thing". <p></p><i></i>

Also Jeff, I was reviewing your 08/04 post <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2004/08/yellow-cake-and-black-shirts.html">Yellow Cake and Black Shirts</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> and I noticed you had a quote from Ledeen's <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Universal Fascism</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. Do you have that? If so, and if you get a chance, I'd love to read your thoughts on it.

"The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."<br>--- Zbigniew Brzezinski.<br> <p></p><i></i>
