The Rise of the Global Dominance Group Continued from page 32 in the United States, and that there is little cons and the GDG agenda is only the indication that a reversal is evident hesinnine of reversing the long-term in the United States, and that there is little indication that a reversal is evident. Vice President Wallace wrote in the New York Times on April 9, 1944: "The really dangerous American fascist...is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power. They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection." We are past the brink of totalitarian fascist-corporatism. Challenging the neo- cons and the GDG agenda is only the beginning of reversing the long-term conservative reactions to the gains of the 1960s. Re-addressing poverty, the UN Declaration of Human Rights and our own weapons of mass destruction is a long- term agenda for progressive scholars and citizen democrats. oo the confidentiality of private files that "could too easily be reviewed" under the Patriot Act.” These oppositional responses to the GDG from higher circle policy elites are hopeful but hardly significant in light of the extent of the global dominance agenda. Many in the HCPE are still fearful of terrorist attacks—a fear the corporate media constantly reinforce. Many in the HCPE believe in holding the course in Iraq out of concern for greater unrest in the region should the US- led coalition pull out. Without broad social movements and citizen unrest that threaten the stability of HCPE's socio- economic agendas and corporate profits, there will be little if any serious challenge to the GDG. Should the 2006 election bring Democrat control to the House or Senate, we would likely see only a slight slowing of the GDG agenda—but certainly not a reversal. The events over the past couple of decades and especially the first five years of this century suggest that something some would call "fascism" has taken root About the Authors: Peter Phillips is a professor of sociology at Sonoma State University California, and director of the Project Censored media research organisation (visit http://www.projectcensored.org).
