{{cquote|We must end the reign of terror of the capitalist elite, which has driven the middle-class to the brink of extinction and holds the poor down to a loathsome level where they are no better than medieval serfs. Corporate Statism, an economic system under which government and corporate interests cooperate with each other for the betterment and general welfare of the nation, whereby government makes a profit for the people instead of exploiting them, is the perfect antidote to capitalism.
To correct the flaws in modern society the United Fascist Union recommends: Halting the monopolies on utilities; imposing a strict censorship on the press; halting urban sprawl; and enacting rules of public conduct which police would rigidly enforce.|||Jack Grimes, announcing his 2008 candidacy<ref name=paranoia />}}

'''Jack Grimes''' {{lived|1950|2021}} was a delusional nutjob, conspiracy theorist, and [[perennial candidate]] for the United Fascist Union.<ref>[https://zeldauniverse.net/forums/index.php?thread/69458-one-of-our-eligible-candidates-in-08-jack-grimes/ One of our eligible candidates in '08... Jack Grimes...] zeldauniverse.net, 5 November 2007. Transcript of Grimes speaking to a UFO group in Dover, Delaware on 6 June 1998.</ref><ref>[https://snaccooperative.org/ark:/99166/w6ng5g7c Grimes, Jackson Kirk, 1950-].

He had his own somewhat idiosyncratic ideas of [[fascism]], and considered [[Benito Mussolini]] and [[Saddam Hussein]] personal heroes. He was right into the corporate socialism notion.

Grimes maintained that:

{{quotebox|Hitler pretended to be a Fascist to capitalize on Benito Mussolini's popularity when he started the National Socialist German Workers' Party, but was NOT a Fascist EVER! More like a Judas [[goat]] hung around Il Duce's neck like a millstone with his anti-Semitic insanity.|top=1}}

So that's alright then. 

Grimes also proclaimed on the Jerry Springer Show that he would become "dictator of America" between 1999 and 2004. Apparently, he was running a bit behind schedule. 

In the meantime, we'll let the man speak for himself.<ref name=paranoia>Mike Pursley, [http://web.archive.org/web/20070630194035/http://www.paranoiamagazine.com/jackgrimes.html Facing Bush’s Henchmen: A Dialogue with Jack Grimes]. Archived from ''Paranoia Magazine'', 30 June 2007.</ref>

Before founding the United Fascist Union, Grimes seemed to have a 'different' outlook on things, especially on antisemitism and how the Nazis were bad, because he eventually became the 'Grand Wizard of the Marian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan' and the 'Dictator of the Aryan Loyalist Party' before taking up the torch of the United Fascist Union.

At some point he ended up making a [[Twitter]], where he only talked about how Obama ruined the nation. He also appeared to have two Facebook accounts. One had his work history as the leader in multiple racial groups, while the other only featured his profile picture and a few other pictures uploaded. On his first profile he can be quoted saying 

{{quotebox|All of us, the leadership of the U.F.U., had either come from the [[American Nazi Party]] or the [[Ku Klux Klan]], so the non-racial Fascist U. was our attempt to do an end run around the [[Jewish]] system. We hoped our party would become the central organ of state through an election, then we could introduce whatever kind of laws were deemed necessary to restore balance and harmony in America|top=1}}
