The Bolshevik Century; Well That Didn’t Work
Libertyme ^ | 10/09 | Francis Turner

Posted on 11/11/2017 2:33:08 AM PST by Djl3668

“100 years ago today, November 7th, the Bolskeviks seized power in Russia and ushered in a century of terror, murder and economic/environmental mismanagement that killed more people than any other ideology or religion ever in the history of humanity. Not only did they kill more people in absolute terms, but the Communist regimes inspired and supported by the Soviet Union get to claim top spots in the “relative death” chart.

It is worth reminding people of these facts when others try to whitewash the bloody red past.”

That would be Margaret Sanger - who ever said women cannot be mass murderers?

Agreed.

They failed last century but have learned to use subtlety and distraction this time...

Only now, it’s OUR nation theyve got their hooks on.

There is so much here, can you just focus on masonry for example?

“my grandmother was Russian, she hated Communists and so do I”


So was my paternal grandfather, and I feel the same way. I have studied these bastards for most of my life, not just what they did to my family, but to hundreds of millions of other families.

WRT my family, my grandfather’s father was a very comfortable man, because he worked very hard since he was a teenager in the 1880s to build up a water delivery business (which ultimately employed about 50 people and had dozens of large carts and draft horses - roughly equivalent to dozens of trucks today in terms of cost), and to build 14 houses with his own efforts to rent out. Well, the Communists came and took everything. But that wasn’t enough - 15 years later, this broke and broken 74-year-old man was deemed to be such a terrible threat to Stalin’s rule that he was dragged off to prison, and beaten so badly that he died shortly after being released (just like Otto Warmbier was a couple of months ago). Meanwhile, the rest of the family, except for my grandfather and one of his brothers, got to live in a gigantic open-air prison for 75 years.

Despite all of that, my family was reasonably lucky - most survived, and many of my father’s cousins got out starting after the USSR fell. 60 million or more we’re not so fortunate...and that is just in Russia. It was nothing less than the greatest evil to have ever afflicted Mankind.

So you can see why I despise Communism, Socialism (which is just Communism without purges and gulags) and those who advocate for them so much. I never lose an opportunity to tell the advocates these twin evils what they can do with themselves, and remind them that while they may someday gain power here, it most certainly won’t be for free (and that I either know where they live, or can find out easily enough).

ANCIENT MYSTERIES AND MODERN MASONRY by Charles H. Vail:

"The purpose of these lectures is to consider the origin and nature of the Ancient Mysteries and Modern Masonry and to show the relation which they bear one to the other. Freemasonry deals largely with the morals and symbols of the Mysteries of Antiquity, and originally was one of the channels of Ancient Wisdom."

Liberals tend to conclude that anything violent is right-wing when everything violent throughout history has been left-wing socialists.

Might as well. I stole it from someone else. Too good to pass up!

Similar in NY:
“Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”

Yes they are. Global jihad. Sad. We Americans obey the 2nd as Christ espouses to protect our God Given Right to live. Rightfully so... bring it.
