A reporter for the left leaning alternative news website The
Huffington Post has been attacked by neo-con bloggers and
phony right-wing patriots after pointing out that the current
financial crisis is part of an intentional coup to transfer unprecedented
power to the Executive Branch and place public funds in the hands
of the global corporate elite.

Writer Larisa Alexandrovna, makes a number of salient
points in an article entitled "Welcome
to the final stages of the coup...".

Referring to the Bush administration's "Wall
Street bailout bill", Alexandrovna warns that
a fascist coup is in it's closing stages, describing the proposed
legislation as "treachery being conducted in the light of
day."

She writes:

"Now, if you do not yet understand that the
Wall Street crisis is a man-made disaster done through intentional
deregulation and corruption, I have a bridge in Alaska to sell
to you (or Sara Palin does anyway). This manufactured crisis
is now to be remedied, if the fiscal fascists get their way,
with the total transfer of Congressional powers (the few that
still remain) to the Executive Branch and the total transfer
of public funds into corporate (via government as intermediary)
hands.

[...] we already now have in writing, formally
as presented to Congress, the intentions of this administration
to nullify Congressional powers permanently, to alter Judicial
powers permanently, and to openly steal public funds using as
blackmail the total collapse of the US economy if these powers
are not handed over. You do see how this is blackmail, do you
not? You do see how this is a manufactured crisis precisely
designed to be used as blackmail, do you not?"

Alexandrovna points out that the Treasury's bailout proposal
to Congress would provide the Treasury Secretary the power to
buy up any assets he sees fit, hire anyone he wants to do it,
appoint private companies as financial deputies and write whatever
regulations he thinks are needed.

Furthermore, she points out that the bill states:

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this
Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and
may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative
agency.

Alexandrovna is echoing the comments of historian
John Steele Gordon who told
reporters "It sounds like Paulson is asking
to be a financial dictator, for a limited period of time."
She is also repeating a stark warning provided by Frank Razzano,
a former assistant chief trial attorney at the Securities and
Exchange Commission now at Pepper Hamilton LLP in Washington,
who stated that the Bush administration is seeking “dictatorial
power unreviewable by the third branch of government, the courts,
to try to resolve the crisis."

As we have also reported, the $700 billion bailout
legislation would provide billions to foreign
central banks in addition to private
foreign banks.

The proposed move represents a total shift of U.S.
taxpayers' funds into the hands of powerful private interests,
some of which do not even represent American companies.

Alexandrovna compares the current manufactured crisis
to the now infamous "Business
Plot" of 1933, a previous attempt at an outright
coup in order to install fascism in America. This treasonous plot
was so called because the high-level plotters, including Prescott
Bush, the current president's grandfather, were Wall Street men
who openly supported fascism.

The coup attempt came to light one year later in
1934, when General Smedley Butler informed the Congress that
a group of wealthy industrialists had attempted to get on side
high ranking military figures in order to overthrow the government
of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

"It seems this time around, the Bush family
is trying the more subtle approach to open bloodshed: first create
a crisis, then under the guise of addressing that crisis, overthrow
democracy. Yes, it does sound terribly conspiracy-theory-esque
when explained just this way. But what else does one call a criminal
conspiracy to destroy Congressional powers permanently, alter
Judicial powers permanently, and steal public funds?" Alexandrovna
writes.

In a passionate conclusion the writer demands that
Impeachment be brought against those members of the government
involved in the "New Business Plot". She then voices
fears that failing this, people will have to take to the streets
to prevent the usurpation of their freedoms and the total dissolution
of America:

"You are no longer Republicans, Democrats,
or any shade of voter. You do not live in a swing state or a
solid colored state. You are simply this: an American. That
is the only side that matters. So call your members of Congress
and demand, no, declare that unless they do their duty to the
Constitution and to us, we will move to the streets - not because
we want to, but because our founding fathers demanded this duty
of each and every citizen in the face of such a domestic enemy.
Demand - as is your right - that this bill be voted against
and demand - as is your right - that the people plotting this
treachery be held to account. We are either a nation of laws
or we are no longer a democracy. Pick a side, because there
won't be another time, another moment, another chance to be
a patriot."

Despite pointing out concrete facts, urging readers
to see through the false left/right paradigm and come together
to do something about such an unprecedented power grab, a number
of phony patriots and neo-con bloggers have poured scorn on Alexandrovna,
accusing the writer of calling for an armed insurrection, expressing
hope that the government is "monitoring such enticements"
and threatening to report her to the "lawful authorities"
in order that she be locked in a "nice, well-lit and cheery
cell".

In a remarkable example of the Orwellian society
that has continued to grow around us like a cancer, none of Alexandrovna's
detractors care to focus on the fascist treachery she describes
but instead accuse her of being the traitor and the one
that should be locked away.

Today finance ministers from the G7 countries roundly
applauded the bailout proposal as Henry Paulson,
the US Treasury Secretary called for other countries to follow
America's example.

"I'm going to be pressing our colleagues around
the world to design similar programmes for their banks and institutions.
Our system is a global one." Paulson stated.
