Pretty subversive. Chinese Communist Party unleashes a plague that induces the mayor of the capital of the United States to call troops into a public park to harass citizens just for walking. About 1 hour ago, Lincoln Park, Capitol Hill, Washington DC.
For a week the DC Police were going around in their cars, with loudspeakers, yelling at people just for being in the park - even though the emergency orders permitted people to walk in the park. Today the mayor called out the National Guard.
Here are the crack DC National Guard troops practicing social distancing as they enforce social distancing this evening in a residential Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Hey, @MayorBowser, look at what a great job you're doing, sending your troops Lincoln Park to harass the public about social distancing yet treating it all as a joke. @MurielBowser @fox5dc @wusa9 @WMALDC @ChrisPlanteShow
It looks like under DC law that it's a crime to wear a mask in order to protect one's privacy, but @MayorBowser can issue a diktat to send troops to force people to wear masks, even if her enforcers do not. Sad. @ChrisPlanteShow code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/cod…

🧵 Core principles of Marxism include what Marx called imposition of "terror" and "dictatorship."

Anybody who even flirts with Marxist ideology implicitly accepts these notions, or will accept them as the price of staying in office. Image
Marx: "When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror."

(Neue Rheinische Zeitung, May 19, 1849)

marxists.org/archive/marx/w…Image
For decades, Marx wrote about imposing a "dictatorship" to achieve his goals. He called it a "dictatorship of the proletariat."

For Marxists to achieve this in the US, it would require the violent overthrow of the Constitution.

🧵 The Trump administration really knows what it's doing to smash violent anarchist and Marxist radicals and to go after their intellectual and financial sponsors.

National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 shows a comprehensive, legally based vision and action plan. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…Image
"This political violence is not a series of isolated incidents and does not emerge organically. Instead, it is a culmination of sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence designed to silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society."
"A new law enforcement strategy that investigates all participants in these criminal and terroristic conspiracies — including the organized structures, networks, entities, organizations, funding sources, and predicate actions behind them — is required."

🧵 The most solid brief yet on the extremist networks in Utah. Law enforcement in other states can learn from this report. So can federal authorities. By my colleague @morganwirthlin at @securefreedom.

Armed Queers of Salt Lake City is a focal point. centerforsecuritypolicy.org/wp-content/upl…Image
Direct action: "In accordance with the concept of “diversity of tactics,” individuals are expected to participate in activities that they are comfortable with and align with their values and priorities, while at the same time refusing to judge, criticize, or even notify authorities about the criminal or violent activities of others."
In horizontal networks, "All participants can act and react instantly without waiting for orders – yet with a clear idea of what to expect from one another,” according to CrimethInc, an anarchist and antifascist site."

The "antifascists" view everything they don't like as fascist.

🧵 To make President Trump's desired Antifa terrorist designation stick, @SecRubio must first designate Antifa as a foreign terrorist entity.

He can do this easily. Antifa was founded a century ago in Germany. Germany's BfV considers it a "left-wing violent extremist" network.
2) Once the State Department designates Antifa as a foreign terrorist "entity," the administration can implement Executive Order 13224 to block assets, prohibit transactions, and penalize foreign supporters of Antifa in the United States - and the Americans who assist them. state.gov/executive-orde…
@SecRubio 3) Under EO 13224, the Justice Department can investigate and prosecute any American citizens who provide assistance to that designated foreign terrorist entity.

That would be anybody joining, supporting, or aiding Antifa and its networks in any way.

🧵 Fantastic piece by my colleague @ShidelerK on how the Trump administration can dismantle Far Left Extremist networks. americanmind.org/memo/how-to-di…
@ShidelerK Federal law enforcement does not recognize Far Left Violent Extremism as a threat. It does not train its personnel to understand, designate, anticipate, identify, and defend society against these threats.

Shideler calls for a Far Left Violent Extremism category.
@ShidelerK Shideler: That category "must explicitly include 'anti-fascist' (Antifa), anarchist, autonomous Marxist, socialist, Marxist-Leninist, Maoist, and Communist extremists."

🧵24 years ago this week, Vadim Bakatin was appointed chairman of the Soviet KGB.

Soviet Communist Party chief Mikhail Gorbachev, under duress from Russian leader Boris Yeltsin, reluctantly ordered that Bakatin be empowered to dismantle the KGB. Nobody was prepared for this. Image
Bakatin wanted American help about what to do.

He had a modern but still Soviet worldview. He thought the KGB could be broken apart along functional lines so it could never abuse power again.

Bush41 feared a collapse of the USSR and its Communist Party, & provided no help. Image
Bakatin was not a KGB man. He was a professional construction man. He became Soviet interior minister. Yeltsin wanted him to run the KGB and tear it apart.

Within 2 months, in October 1991, Bakatin devised a plan to break the KGB into five main pieces, each as a separate agency.
