"The Twilight of Democracy": Interview with Jennifer Van Bergen
In her interview book, The Twilight of Democracy, Jennifer Van Bergen quotes Laurence W. Britt's book, Down The Road To Fascism which presents fourteen common threads leading to a fascist society. These are as follows: - Powerful and continuing expression of nationalism
- Disdain for human rights
- Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause
- The supremacy of the military
- Rampant sexism
- Controlled mass media
- Obsession with security
- Religion and ruling elite tied together
- The power of labor suppressed or eliminated
- Disdain and suppression of the arts and intellectuals
- Rampant cronyism and corruption
- and Fraudulent elections.
Whether this is deliberate or accidental, all of this exists in varying degrees under the Bush Presidency.
Jennifer Van Bergen is a journalist, a legal analyst and a non-practicing attorney. Van Bergen is a member of the ACLU, The Sierra Club, Amnesty International and MENSA.
