Barbarians & Fascists Pages

A barbarian thrives on raping and pillaging, on despoilment of society and the environment, with the intention of making the world more of a mess than it is already in. A barbarian is an uncivilized or uncultured person, from the Latin and Ancient Greek terms originally applied to any foreigner. In idiomatic or figurative usage, the term 'barbarian' may also be an individual who is brutal, cruel, warlike, insensitive.

“Anyone can be a barbarian; it requires a terrible effort to remain a civilized man.”
— Leonard Sidney Woolf [1880-1969]

“Barbarism is the natural state of mankind. Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance.
And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.” (in "Beyond The Black River")
Robert E. Howard [1906-36], creator of Conan The Cimmerian

Barbarian topic at Wikipedia

Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Neo-fascism usually includes nationalism,
anti-immigration policies, or - where relevant - nativism, anti-communism, and opposition to the parliamentary
system and to liberal democracy.

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”
Benito Mussolini [1883-1945] (attributed)

“Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression
of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy.”

the 'fasces' is a bundle of rods in combination with a war axe    Illustration of the principle of 'fasces': the bundle of rods tied together with the war axe was carried by civic magistrates in Ancient Roman times. The rods were used to mete out punishment unless the axe was needed to execute the criminal. The premise used by fascism is that the individual rods are easy to break (as are individual persons) but unified and with the threat of severe punishment from the state, the group then becomes mighty.

A.L.E.C. (American Legislative Exchange Council) [est. 1973]
official website • Wikipedia

Corporate backers include AT&T, Bayer, ExxonMobil, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, and U.P.S.; due to activist pressure
Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Coca-Cola, Intuit, Kraft Foods, Mars Candy, McDonald's, PepsiCo, and Wendy's Hamburgers quit in April 2012;
Amazon Inc., Apple Inc., Proctor & Gamble, and Wal-Mart, Inc. quit in May 2012; in August, six more corporations dumped A.L.E.C.:
General Electric, Western Union, Sprint Nextel, Symantec, Reckitt Benckiser Group (a British consumer goods conglomerate), and Entergy;
and by October, the companies Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and Medco had quit.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates stopped financially supporting A.L.E.C. in 2012; Microsoft, Inc. dropped its membership in A.L.E.C. in August 2014.
At some point, International Paper, Occidental Petroleum, Yahoo!, and Yelp quit, while A.O.L., eBay, and Expedia remain members.

It took until September 2014 for Google, Inc. chairman Eric Schmidt to declare that their controversial decision to fund A.L.E.C. was 'a mistake';
he said that A.L.E.C. is spreading lies about global warming and 'making the world a much worse place'.
Facebook, Inc. announced in late September that its membership will not be renewed in 2015.

Speakers at A.L.E.C.’s 2016 conference included former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, now the Secretary of Energy, and future U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.

Speakers at A.L.E.C.’s closed-door July 2017 conference in Denver included former Montana congressman, now Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke,
former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Anti-Education Secretary Betsy Prince DeVos.

'Bain of Our Existence' weblog from Campaign for America's Future

Bain liquidated Key Airlines in 1984-85 by unlawfully suppressing the pilots' union.

Bain Capital made $34 million, 34 times its 1986 investment, in mobile medical equipment manufacturer Calumet Coach. (Calumet was purchased
in 2001 by A.K. Specialty Vehicles, which is now part of Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles. {ticker: OSK}.

Bain Capital brokered a merger for Stage Stores in 1988, knowing that the Milken junk bonds were bogus;
Bain's $10M investment gave $175M profit by 1997; Stage Stores filed bankruptcy in 2000. {ticker: SSI}

Bain Capital purchased the Damon International medical lab in 1989; company went public in 1991, then was sold to Corning in 1993. Romney hired Joseph Isola as Damon's president & CEO in January 1990; Isola pled nolo contendere in July 2000 to federal charges of conspiracy to defraud Medicare. Romney has said at various times that: he knew nothing of the investigation; that he stopped the illegal practices; that he was the whistleblower to the Feds; and-or that he stopped the activity without notifying authorities. Multiple-choice reality?

Bain Capital made $55 million, 16 times its 1990 investment, from the Gartner Group {now Gartner, Inc.}.

In 1991, Bain Capital's Bank of New England investment was failing so CEO Mitt Romney got the F.D.I.C. to agree to a $10M write-off (while Bain execs collected fat bonuses).

In 1992, Bain Capital purchased Duane Reade, a chain of family-owned New York City pharmacies. In 1996, Bain Capital hired Anthony Cuti to serve as Duane Reade's CEO, and shortly thereafter sold the chain to another buyout firm. The company was twice fined for selling expired non-prescription drugs, baby formula, and other products. A new owner in 2005 quickly fired Cuti, who was sentenced in August 2011 to three years in prison for falsely inflating Duane Reade's income and misleading investors.
The Walgreens chain bought Duane Reade for $623 million in April 2010.

Bain Capital took over Ampad (American Pad & Paper) for $5M in 1992; laid off 200 union workers in 1994 and hired them back at reduced wages; the union struck, Bain closed the plant, and then walked away with $100M in profits.

In 1993, Bain Capital purchased the G.S. Industries steel plant in Kansas City, Missouri for $8.3M; in 1994, G.S.I. borrowed $125M to pay off debt and modernize and to pay Bain Capital execs $36M; G.S.I. went bankrupt and the plant closed; the P.B.G.C. (Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation) government agency covered $44M in G.S.I. pension losses in August 2005.

Bain Capital (initial investment $30M) and Goldman Sachs bought Baxter International in 1994 and renamed it Dade International; Dade bought a chemical division from Dupont in 1996 and Behring Diagnotics in 1997; failing to get a decent buyout offer in 1999, Dade management took out loans to buy out half the stockholders (the Bain half) with $242 million to Bain and $121 million to Goldman Sachs and $55 million to top Dade executives, for a total payout of $420 million; in all, the company racked up $1.5B in debt; Bain took $100M in fees and $242M in profits; Dade filed bankruptcy in 2002, 1700 U.S. workers lost their jobs; Dade was sold in 2007 to German conglomerate Siemens for $7B.

In 1998, Domino's Pizza co-founder & sole owner Tom Monaghan sold 93 percent of the company to Bain Capital for $1.1B; Bain added $1.5B in debt, and took away five times their investment. The pizza company is thriving, but has assets of only $425M and long-term debt of $1.57B, which computes to $23.64 negative book value per share.

In 2006, Bain Capital formed Sensata Technologies in Freeport, Illinois to develop, manufacture & market sensors and controls for major auto manufacturers such as Ford and General Motors. Despite rising profits, the company has plans to shut down the factory in November; American workers were made to train their Chinese replacements, who were flown to Illinois by the company. The American workers being outsourced at Sensata have tried for months to meet with candidate Mitt Romney, many even traveling to Florida for the Republican Party's convention, to ask Romney to show up in Illinois and help save their jobs. No help from Romney, nor even a reply. The latest move by the workers is to camp outside the Sensata factory for a very visible protest toward keeping these jobs in the U.S.A., including blocking the trucks that arrive to haul the equipment to China.

September 2007: Leveraged buyout and partial sell-off of the Clear Channel Communications radio network by Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners. Company took the name 'I Heart Media, Inc.' based on the success of the 'I Heart Radio' music-on-smartphone app; filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2018 to deal with $10B in debt remaining from the leveraged buyout.

To what degree the attention on Bain Capitol helped defeat the Romney-Ryan ticket in 2012 is subject to conjecture; in any case, Mitt Romney lost
all of his various home states, and Paul Ryan did not even carry his home town of Janesville, Wisconsin.

Current institutional owners include many companies recently implicated in the recent mortgage derivitives crisis: Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, U.B.S., Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorganChase.

Caterpillar, Inc. [est. 1925]
Aside from Caterpillar management's giving themselves raises and cutting union members' wages and outsourcing jobs overseas and to 'right-to-low-wages'
states, the latest anti-American behavior is Caterpillar's stashing overseas profits in a paper subsidiary in Switzerland to avoid paying $2.4 billion
in U.S. taxes between 2000 & 2012. In early March 2017, federal agents served search warrants at Caterpillar offices in Peoria, East Peoria, and Morton, Illinois
specifically looking for documents on their dealings in Switzerland.

"Hillary: The Movie" [Citizens United Prodns 2008]
The Federal Election Commission sued to block the Citizens United political action non-profit organization from paying for ads or TV broadcasts of this film, based on provisions
of the B.C.R.A. (McCain-Feingold) campaign finance law; the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia agreed; Citizens United appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court,
and in January 2010 the decision was reversed. Not only that, but the decision by Justice John Roberts in "Citizens United v. F.E.C." cited 25 prior dissensions (a seriously-inept
legal no-no) and declared the United States a fascist country, i.e. 'money from corporations to political groups constitutes free speech'. This creates a Constitutional crisis,
because there is no appeal to such an action by the Supreme Court except multiple impeachments by Congress.

'Hillary The Movie' propaganda from Citizens United  The film is a review of various manufactured scandals that failed to bring down the Clintons; the District Court concluded that the film could not be interpreted as anything other than an appeal to vote against Senator Clinton, thus making it an electioneering communi-cation; the Supreme Court did not change that decision, they just said that corporations could not be banned from paying for such electioneering communications • Co-produced, co-written & directed by Alan Peterson; co-written by Lee Troxler & Michael Wright; with archive footage of Bill & Hillary Clinton; featuring Gary Aldrich, Dick Armey, Michael Barone, Tony Blankley, Bay Buchanan, Dan Burton, Joe Connor, Ann 'The Man' Coulter, Billy Dale, Cyrus Nowrasteh, Frank Gaffney, Jeff Gerth, Newt Gingrich, Larry Kudlow, Mark Levin, Michael Medved, John Mica, Dick Morris, Robert D.
