In the latest episode of his "Off The Grid" online talk show, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura (Independent, 1999-2003) teases that he might run for president to combat the "international corporate fascism" that he sees coalescing in the form of secret international trade deals. The intro to the show describes Ventura as: "Patriot, Navy Seal, Wrestler, Independent, Governor, Truth Seeker, Crusader, President?" with a flickering question mark after president.
Jesse Ventura explains how Benito Mussolini (who coined the term) defined fascism as the merger of state and corporate power, exactly what lawmakers like Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Jeff Sessions (R-MS) have warned might result from allowing an un-elected body of bureaucrats to regulate the global economy at a level which supersedes the U.S. government.
Those who have read the secret documents warn that the sort of international regulatory body outlined in international trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership(TPP), Trade in Services Agreement(TISA), and Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership(TTIP) could lead to such an outcome.
JESSE VENTURA: What it means is a word that only I seem to say, and I get in trouble for saying it. It is called fascism, this is global fascism. By definition fascism is when corporations take over government. Mussolini would be so proud today. Can you imagine Mussolini in his grave, he must be standing up and cheering for this fascist movement. Where they allow corporations to shape what trade will be throughout the world, rather than for allowing for actual human input into it.So clearly it shows exactly what I have been talking about [on this show and on his show Conspiracy Theory, which A&E cancelled years ago]. The corporations have paid off the politicians. Their power is now global. Decisions are being made by corporations for all the rest of us...

I agree. Most of his problem is caused by an embolism caused by not adhering to the dive tables as a frogman NOT as a SEAL as he claims to be, or getting dropped on his head as a wrestler.
yeah, she can try and find his campaign with the money he tried to rip off from chris kyles widow.......
He’s gonna take votes away from Trump.
I do get so tired of this idiocy.
Italian Fascism was, in theory, based on corporatism, a method of organizing society based on interest groups rather than geographical location which is much older than the modern business corporation. Going back at least to the middle ages and arguably to ancient Greece and Rome.
The "corporations" in question are derived from the Latin for body and include, besides business corporations, unions, professional organzations and other such groups.
Nobody has ever made such a system of representation work, but there is quite simply nothing inherently oppressive or fascistic about it.
Whenever I see somewhat trot out the idea in italics above, I immediately lose any respect I might have for them.
Not that I've had much for Jesse since his crack about religion being only for weak-minded types. Such as Moses, David, Jesus, Mohammed, Innocent III, Luther, Knox, Cromwell, Loyola, Joseph Smith, etc., no doubt.
Say what you wish about that list, only an idiot would call those gentlemen weak-minded.
Jesse “The Wussy” Ventura, the fake SEAL that claims real dead SEALs deserve what they get for fighting in the “corporate wars”.
Agree ..... He can’t show his face at a cub scout event imho...... Agree with ya as usual.
Perot had/was his own drummer. However, reviewing where the US is today and especially myself as a WWII overseas vet, I don’t believe that sucking up to Nazi loving Saudis was in the best interest of the US or persons who died ,like my brother who was killed on Okinawa,. Follow the the Bushes and the path leads to Medina and Mecca. Of course the orphan of the Bush family, Bill Clinton, and his Alinsky adoring wife are also on stage.
