I was writing the previous article I published last and was seeking to find a video or still photo of Mussolini striking that pose I referred to. The one with his arms folded across his chest, his jaw locked, his gaze staring off in the distance as he proudly nodded in arrogant satisfaction at whatever ignorant thing he'd just said. I was seeking the photo to do a compare and contrast with the similar expression our current president loves to strike for the cameras. And then I found the following and was honestly shocked. "*Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power*." *A merger of state and corporate power*. Does this Mussolini quote send shivers up the spine of anyone besides myself? It is not my imagination that Obama has repeatedly employed imagery such as "marriage of corporate and government" as some sort of goal of his or to accomplish "X" goal. I haven't imagined this, right? Not only is Mussolini well known as a buffoon, but he's also the father of modern fascism. He installed fascism in Italy, so well so that Hitler modeled many Nazi government principals on Mussolini's example. Mussolini lead Italy down the path of destruction, embarking on war before Hitler invaded Poland, with his sub-Saharan African adventures in Ethiopia. He then thought he could take northern Africa and got himself in trouble and Hitler helped out, hence we came to know General Irwin Rommel as the Desert Fox. Mussolini's adventures over his head are what led to Hitler's involvement in North Africa - to save buffoon Mussolini's bacon. Coming across the above quote, again quite by accident, really struck a chord with me, so I began to snoop around a bit <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/b/benito_mussolini.html>and here are some more gems that to my ear could have as easily rolled off Obama's tongue as Mussolini's.
