America the Tyranny (Manuel Valenzuela)

The Road to Authoritarianism

Oct 2, 2006 -- Behold and bear witness to what has become of America, in this era of uncertainty and bewilderment, in this time of fear and intimidation, that, since towers were brought down and demolished, has methodically fallen into the viper pit of neocon decadence, becoming, as it stands today, an authoritarian’s heaven and a corporatist’s promised land, its people ignorant, as always, to the barrage of waves systemically eroding centuries of rights, freedoms and liberties. From sea to shining sea, despotism is what today those who pay attention see.

The road to fascism is being paved at a clandestine yet alarming velocity, across valleys, prairies and forests, surrounding cites, towns and states, from Atlantic to Pacific, immersing 300 million individuals into a fog of engendered tyranny, who, without a care or whisper or concern, remain trapped by comfortable surroundings born through perpetual indebtedness. Even as their rights and freedoms and liberties are made to disappear, even as their Constitution is burned, even as their nation hangs on the precipice of despotism, even as their collective destiny is being destroyed those residing inside the belly of the beast, hear no evil, see no evil, and feel no evil, preferring to gossip about pedophile politicians and celebrity failings than to inform themselves to the last throes of the American republic.

The waves of autocracy are upon the shores of America, the demons of the past find themselves resurrected once again, free to unleash fear, intimidation and enslavement onto hundreds of millions of human beings. The high tide of tyranny has returned from the unlearned lessons of history, again engulfing humankind with human wickedness and Machiavellian rule, soon to subjugate the masses in the slavery endemic throughout man’s brief -- yet thoroughly destructive -- reign over Earth.

Authoritarianism has awoken from its dormant slumber, ready to terrorize yet one more human generation, for while it meticulously rises and stretches out its arms, ready to spread its omnipotent disease, it has lived and thrived since the dawn of man, accompanying humankind wherever we might go, since man alone creates and grants it life. Indeed, it is those who have seen it rise before, that today see it birthed again. Its symptoms are apparent, its dangers known; the stages of tyranny are remembered, for they are never forgotten. It is those who have been witness to, and victims of, its malevolence that see the approaching storm clearest; it is they whose experienced eyes and mature minds that are sounding alarms. Fascism, under the guise of protection, freedom and security, is upon us.

1. Yuck!

Gilding the lilly.
While this missive does, in fact, describe the horrid fate that has befallen America, it is so ridiculously flowery as to be unreadable.

2. Manuel Valenzuela Is An Important Voice

I know what you are talking about regarding Manuel's flowery language. Yet, as an editor who has published something like 10 of his missives, I have come to be one of his biggest supporters and proponents.

Manuel Valenzuela is a very important voice. If you are willing to take the time to read what he is saying, he will blow your mind. Nobody else is saying what he is saying as clearly and succinctly as he is.

Like the very best of writers, he demands that you meet him halfway. He is not spoon-feeding you TV soundbites. If that's too demanding for you, then that's your loss.
