Subject: Fascism - attempt at humor (fwd)


The piece below has been posted to various rec.music.* groups by somebody
who has so far adopted the position that people should vote in favor of
creating the cybernazi "r.m.w.p."

It has some slight connection with the debate in our list about fascism, and
I thought people may find it:
enjoyable/ / 
pertinent/ / 
revealing/ /  
interesting/ /
chilling/ /
plain stupid/ /
(check one box)

Cheers,

To whoever finds this:

	Let me start by saying how very sorry I am, and I hope God
will forgive me my crime.  I only wanted to uphold what I believed
in...

	But, it is too late now.

	Let me go back to the early days of 1996. It was a time of
warming weather and presidential campaigns and an explosion in the
Internet. It was a time when "the Peoples Party" was still "the
Republican Party", and President Buchanan was losing poorly to Bob
Dole in the Republican primary process. 

	It was during this time that the "Great Liberators" formed
their plan. They had devised it carefully, pulling from the examples
of early rock and roll and rap music. The started their plan by
proposing the creation of rec.music.white-power on The People's News.
(It was called Usenet News back then, by those who admit to
remembering.)  Many fought against it--warning it would lead to mass
destruction, and more graves.

	I was a fool, and believed in a concept known back then as
"free speech". I voted yes, figuring that all people deserved a place
to discuss their own music. The votes were in, 741 for 740 against.
(At the time, I liked to think I had done my part for democracy. Now,
as you know, I carry blood on my hands...)

	The group was created, and  Fatherland Music was discussed.
No big deal.

	But then something happened--politics changed. President
Buchanan, who had been in a spiral, started to climb. By the time of
the Republican (this was seven years ago!) Primary, Dole was lucky to
get six percent of the vote! At the Primary, everywhere were
brownshirts, full black uniforms, and thousands of college aged men
wearing black boots, blue jeans, White Power t-shirts, and closely
cropped hair. (In what has been named, the Fury Cut.)

	The genie had slipped out quietly, in the form of discussion
on music.

	Rec,music.white-power had been, as the opponents had claimed,
a clever device to get people to listen to Aryian music, which as we
all know, once listened to by a white person, causes them to want to
kill all non-whites. The new recruits gathered more recruits, and they
gathered more, and so on.

	President Buchanan announced that Jessie Helms was his running
mate, and the crowds cheered.

	The movement continued unchecked, and by the time of November,
President Buchanan won easily. (Clinton and Gore had been killed in
late September by members of the Michigan National Guard, who had
become closely tied to the Michigan Loyalists Militia.) Speaker of the
Party Gingrich, in his role as Speaker of the House back then, swore
them in, and President Buchana enacted an immediate, and emergency,
presidental order  which banned all discussion of other music, as the
listeneres of it had shown they were a dangerous lot who did not
believe in the Constitution.

	We all know the rest...Krystalnacht 2, forced work camps,
ovens.

	Tomorrow, I go to join with the others who had been brave
enough to try and oppose the rec.music.white-power group. I will be
placed in the chambers, and will be gassed. 

	My crime was not so great. I had helped form the group! I
argued for it and voted "yes". The judge took that into account, and
did state that as an act of mercy he would permit my property to pass
to my wife and children, and not escheat to the Fatherland. But for
the act of keeping my old barry Manilow albums--a known Jew--I must
die.

	It is almost sunrise. I must go now.

	

Goodbye,

Esquire
