misplaced trust redoubtable

[Tony Trigilio]

"'Fascism' is the *only* term I know of to refer to the theory that governmental power is of primary importance, and that all various governmental systems are to be employed as they are beneficial to the goal of exalting the state. The fascist may at times masquerade as a democrat, a dictator, a socialist (the Nazi part was the National Socialist Workers' Party), or anything else that befits his goal of power. The unprincipled use of power under cover of pragmatic excuse is the first hint that such politics are present." http://www.starve.org/usenet.html Source: Page 154 of White Noise Keywords: "misplaced," "trust," "redoubtable" ******************************************************** About The Usenet Project: An "x" is drawn in the middle of a page of Don DeLillo's White Noise (Penguin Classics Edition, 1999).  The first three, sometimes four, words (excluding articles and prepositions) that intersect the lines of this "x" from its cross are fed into Google's Usenet index, which now dates back to 1981.  On even-numbered days, the most recent Google entry is used, using Google's "sort by date" function."  On odd-numbered days, the first Google entry to appear is used, anything from 1981 to the present.  A new posting will be included every week -- an archive of radiant rants, habits, and hobbies.  Thanks to Bernadette Mayer's "X on Page 50 at half inch intervals."
