Those who do not learn from history...you know that thing.

To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Captain Charles Stone. Later to be railroaded as the scapegoat for the Ball’s Bluff disaster and a warning shot at McClellan. A shameful affair.

Dateline Washington January 6, 2081

Historians believe that this day, sixty years ago was the initial spark that ignited the Second American revolutionary war. The obvious theft of an election through the use of Dominion voting machines, illegal mail in ballots and many other voter “irregularities,” that all could see. The Capital in DC was captured and occupied...

Nancy Pelosi was accidentally shot twice in the back of the head. The coroner ruled it a suicide.

Gettysburg has been captured as well as Baltimore. The “Hammer and Anvil” is about to go into operation. The District is next.

Casualties and collateral damage are not a consideration.

Do your duty gentlemen.

For posterity...
