1) True or not, history looks to “Bloody Sunday” in January 1905 as the beginning of the end of the Romanov Dynasty and Imperial Russia. The Imperial Guard fired on peasants peacefully protesting - lead by an Orthodox priest (who ended up being a police informant).
2) The Tsar’s security opened fire on the crowd - its own citizens in broad daylight. It would not be undone, could not be forgotten. The protest on the Hill, minus Antifa agitators, was peaceful even if a bit raucous. There's video of Capitol Police opening doors for protesters.
3) There is video of Capitol Police mixed in with the protesters and not concerned about personal security - they were at ease in the midst of the protesters around them. (Add clips if you have them) The video of the shooting shows police mixed in with the crowd in control.
4) The vid of the shooting shows police in control & mixed in with the crowd. The shooter shot at near point blank. No warnings, no attempt at physical restraint. A combat vet, ran a mom & pop bus, a mom. An everyday hero, a patriotic law-abiding American citizen.
5) The media says she “deserved it,” that the crowd should be arrested. They’re talking about you. Who’ll defend Mrs. Babbitt’s honor? Who’ll forget they fired on Americans exercising their right to assembly and peaceful protest?
1) Follow me on this. Returning to Pompeo making Hamza Yusuf the Trump Admin's "Human Rights Advisor" (thus subordinating US human rights to Islamic law as defined by the MB) in the context of causation . . .
2) . . . and whether intent should be based on a person's actions or should it be based on Oprah-style personal motivation assessments that can never be validated for every player in every event. Is it enough to know that a person did x, y & z, and trainwrecks a, b & c happened?
3) A number of years back I was asked to explain Muslim Brotherhood activity in the U.S. to Congressman Pompeo. He pushed back to such an extent, the people who arranged the dinner were shocked when he walked out. I noted the hostile role that the West Point CTC played . . .
3) Both because the native population of England is English (who tend to be white), and because the UK PC chattering class tends to be uncommonly strident (from a US POV) - always self-assured and smiling - the cultural level negation of Eng nat'l ident creates a stark contrast.
4) Rather than openly attack English identify, which arises from what the Romans called a natio, and the Greeks called an Ethos, they simply convert all ethnic English into "white" and make all customs indicators of racism.
5) The then use the competing cultural values of the hordes of mass-wave immigrants to match up against those "racist" English customs and negate them. Of course, the narrative is rigged so that all defenses of English identify are per se racism.
1) That's a pretty good definition of mass line. The Key Findings of "ReRemembering" provides a gloss -unconstrainedanalytics.org/report-re-reme…
P. 98 of ReRemembering "Maoist Concept of Political Warfare" says that -
"MASS LINE: Organizing an alternative society through the construction . . .
2) . . . of clandestine infrastructure, that is, a counter-state. In dialec- tical terms, if the state is thesis, then the counter-state is its anti-state. Local socio-economic grievances and aspirations are addressed by cadres, . . .
3) . . . who then connect solutions to the party’s political mecha- nism. As with all political action, appeal to perceived needs (not only grievances but also hopes and aspirations) are sought in order to win allegiance for the purpose of mobilization.
1) Beneath the waterline, there is open warfare in the Catholic Church. Long overdue. Against P Francis and the US Bishops (for example of DC) there are Bishops Vigano and Scheider.
2) B. Vigano finally advanced the call to cancel Vatican II. B. Schneider opts for line-item-veto of offending docs. Regardless, there is a rapidly forming consensus among discerning Catholics that Vatican II was designed to derail the Church - and it did.
3) Neither Bishop is part of any fringe Catholic group - except the "fringe" Catholics who thinks the Pope, Bishops, Priests and Church should be, well, Catholic. When does the sensus fidelium stand up and say NO! It's been done (many times) before.
1) Sometimes you have to start asking the questions you never, not for a minute, thought would have to be raised. We have the far left saying they want to bring America down this year, we know that. We know they plan to lead with the Neo-Marxist weaponization of race, . . .
2) . . . We've seen comments by Mattis, and also a senior general of the USAF, that then sent a cascade of statements from AF officers and NCOs in line. . .
3) Now we have this cryptically written statement from the Army -
The Minnesota Gov, AG, and Minneapolis Mayor all virtue signaled approval of rioting as as the expression of the oppressed (Marxism). They ARE the elected sworn officers required to protect Minnesotans and their property. My promised blog on Minnesota
2) I read of the retired African-American MPLS Fireman who bought a bar that was burned down and he has no insurance. What I've subsequently been told is that destruction from riots take on force majeure characteristics.
3) There is the story of the teen-age girl who had her boyfriend at the house. She became panicked that her boyfriend leave safely because "protesters" were throwing rock from the overpass on I-694.
