Another Freeper posted this link about how AOC got to be where she is. She is an actress, hired and promoted by a dangerous group, the Social Democrats. The Social Democrats intend to take over the Democratic party. They ran 79 candidates and seven of them, including AOC, won. These are the crazies who have dominated the news. Please post this if you agree. (This is “mirrored” as a standalone from a site with 400k subscribers.)

Not the "Social Democrats"...the "Justice Democrats."

I have also read that the Justice Democrats have sought and received the support (i.e., funding) of the Democratic Socialists of America (Party) and George Soros (and his backers...yes, he also has backers).

[Gen.Blather]

“Not the “Social Democrats”...the “Justice Democrats.””

Sorry. The way liberals use and abuse words they all blend together and sound meaningless to me. (”Woman’s Health” comes to mind. That sounds soooo much better than “baby slaughter.”)

[RoosterRedux]

That's an easy mistake to make. That said, the idea that she is controlled by puppet masters is spot on. And, frankly, I think she and her puppet masters are doing a fine job.

Someone has even suggested that she is wearing an ear bud to receive instructions. Wouldn't surprise me bit.

AOC and Ilhan Omar are giving Nancy fits. It will be interesting to see if they can survive Nancy's long knives.

“AOC and Ilhan Omar are giving Nancy fits. It will be interesting to see if they can survive Nancy’s long knives.”

I see this as one of the most serious challenges to the Democratic party and the nation in my lifetime. Nancy is too old and infirm and obviously impaired to mount a defense. The Democratic party is too divided by intersectionality and identity groups to mount a defense. I see no Democrat in the position to, or with the will to, mount a defense. I can see this new party becoming a serious power and disruption to American politics. I can only hope that they have committed crimes that will trigger the Justice Department and the FBI into taking action. If they have committed crimes and the Administration makes the strategic decision not to prosecute because the new party is damaging the Democratic party, that would be a mistake. The new party represents the domestic part of fighting all enemies foreign and domestic.

I saw this two day ago. It was eye opening. This video should be deceminated far and wide.

[RoosterRedux]

The new party represents the domestic part of fighting all enemies foreign and domestic.

I completely agree.

The enemy has pulled out all the stops this time.

One 'canary in the coal mine' is the Jewish voting bloc in the Democratic Party. If they betray they Jewish heritage in favor of Leftward political leanings, another defensive barrier will have been overrun by the Hard Left.

This is clearly a watershed moment.

The “under eighteens” are leaving NY because they can’t get a job?

I worked for the American division of an Israeli company. Most of the top positions where staffed by Israeli/American citizens. They were wealthy, smart and extremely liberal. They all had substantial connections to academia; some of them at high levels and with big name universities. I attended a lot of parties and the subject was always politics. (I felt like a Republican chew toy as they always sought me out to complain about GWB and how stupid he was.)

Here’s my takeaway. They were liberals first and foremost and Jews second. I suspect the majority of them will vote Democrat even if the Democrats advocate policies that, if adopted, would mean the end of the state of Israel. Yes, that is crazy. But they seemed so liberal that they were disconnected from the reality of everything else.

It's still a fun city, if you know where to go (and where not to go). However, it's only a matter of time before it goes completely into the dumper.

There is a weird paradigm happening in NYC and other socialist cities - wealthy whites stopped having children. Whether due to cost, the time spent raising them or the fact that they need to apply for a lottery to gain admission to a private school, one can debate.

What seems to be happening is that the under 18 population in NYC is becoming very poor or undocumented or part of a vast welfare fraud scheme.

If you are wealthy enough you take your family out of the city (Long Island, CT or NJ) to get the best schools (that are not the rabbinical schools) and more space to raise a family.

My last business trip (2016) there found lots of Orthodox kids being well schooled, a handful of good public schools and a lot of places where I couldn't make a sale without a donation to the principals’ favorite charity. Lots of kids that barely spoke English, which tells me they started learning English after the age of 6. Being white surely didn't help my sales efforts.

I do not know where the kids under 18 have gone to except to say that something is wrong in their population counts. Or the city has become too much of a hassle for even the immigrant groups.

I once had a long conversation with a guy whose name a lot of Freepers would recognize. He was a prominent Soviet who was world-renowned in his expertise and defected to the U.S. years ago. He was never known as a political figure but had some remarkable insights on the Soviet political system.

He was Jewish, and I was surprised at the borderline contempt he had for Jews in Eastern Europe in the 1930s. He said they never used the term "Holocaust" in his circle of Jewish friends in the Soviet Union. He had a hard time finding the right English words to get his point across, but he said the general feeling at the time (this would have been the 1980s) is that they looked on German Jews as complicit players in the rise of fascism, not victims. His one point really hit home with me. He said something to this effect: "They replaced their worship of God with the worship of the State, and then acted surprised when that State turned and came for them."

No offense to any Jewish Freepers out there, but I'd say this guy's sentiment applies to most American Jews -- perfectly.
