Shamangineer | Fascism: The History, The Psychology, & The Re-emergence

Conspiracy, Mystery, And Comedy. Boom. Join host, Greg Carlwood, of The Higherside Chats podcast as he talks fascism with returning guest, Shamangineer. As the seemingly never ending battle for control wages between extreme paradigms, and the ‘punch a Nazi’ and ‘snowflake’ meme-slinging serves only to muddy the already landmine infested landscape ahead, the battle for absolute authoritarianism has only just begun. With both the left and right chipping away at democratic principles with the help of totalitarian government, cultural constructs and corporations, remaining battle ready and able to recognize signs of fascism seeping into society is becoming increasingly more important. But, recognizing the signs can be harder than catching Pokemon, and having a historical context behind the fascist forces at work can serve as the strongest weapon in this war on personal sovereignty. Fortunately, today’s returning guest, Shamangineer, has been following the threads of fascism throughout history, and today he joins The Higherside to weave it all together. 2:00 Diving right into it, Shamangineer begins by discussing fascism in broad strokes by providing some historical context. Much like the broken two-party system of today, the Hamiltonians and Jeffersonians of the 18th century found themselves on opposing ends of the spectrum, each with drastically different ideas about the role of the federal government. While each was to take place under a democratic context, by the will of the people through the ballot box, in a hierarchical bureaucracy, Federalism and big government was experiencing an uptick in support among voters. On the back of the Boston Tea Party, in this post-Revolution landscape, it was understood that the role of corporations was to function as creations of the state, which were founded to accomplish certain objectives, and prohibited from participating in politics. Shamagineer walks through the protections put into place, limiting the influence of corporations like the East India Tea Company, and the gradual erosion of these beginning during the Reconstruction Era. 14:00 Greg and Shamangineer continue with their conversation about fascism throughout our history, the saga of Smedley Butler and Gerald MacGuire, the attempted coup by the American Liberty League, and Prescott Bush’s involvement. Connected to both the Hamburg American Line and UBS Bank, Prescott Bush was able to forward the fascist agenda of the major corporations that choke the life from the American middle class, by funding Nazis during WWII and helping their spies infiltrate US soil. Shamangineer goes on to detail the Nazi influence in US institutions such as the O.S.S. and C.I.A. 26:00 With this recent episode being a divergence from their elemental series, Greg and Shamangineer discuss the importance and necessity for an honest examination of fascism given our current political climate. Between accusations of fake news and tiki-torch wielding Nazi’s overrunning the streets the clash of ideologies and polarization has helped distract people from the encroachment of fascism from both the left and right. Greg and Shamangineer pivot Carol Rosin, Werner Von Braun, Operation Gladio, and electrogravitic crafts. 36:00 Shamangineer elaborates on the aspects of Operation Gladio, such as the spread of radical Islamic terror in the West. He discusses revelations from the documentary ”9/11, Mohamed Atta and the Venice Flying Circus”, Osama bin Laden’s Nazi connection, and the ties between German fascists and Arab extremists through the Muslim Brotherhood. Leveling the playing field, Greg and Shamangineer also discuss the fascism of Israel, their role in state sponsored terror, the fight for ‘The Holy Land’, and Hitler’s bargain with Zionists. 42:00 Greg and Shamangineer move on to talk about Wilhelm Reich, a contemporary of Freud, he wrote several books about the psychology of fascism, including ”The Mass Psychology of Fascism”.
