Maoist thought reform imposed on first January 6 defendant to be sentenced

Just affirm that this is an awful, racist country and that you are the beneficiary of white privilege, and you can escape lengthy imprisonment for “parading” in the Capitol.

Anna Morgan-Lloyd, the 49-year-old grandmother from Indiana who strolled into the US Capitol and spent several minutes peacefully walking around, got the same message that was delivered to Chinese dissidents and “bad elements” during Mao’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution: confess to thought crimes, embrace the state-sanctioned ideology, and you will be shown mercy. In the case of Morgan-Lloyd, the message was delivered to her by her own defense lawyer, a public defender paid by taxpayers. And it worked. She received three years’ probation, a $500 fine, and no incarceration beyond the two days she had spent in jail following her arrest.

Julie Kelley describes at American Greatness the imposition of an ideological test on a defendant whose own lawyer was in on the brainwashing initiative:

My lawyer has given me names of books and movies to help me see what life is like for others in our country. I’ve learned that even though we live in a wonderful country things still need to improve. People of all colors should feel as safe as I do to walk down the street.”

That passage is part book report, part white privilege mea culpa submitted to a federal court this month by Anna Morgan-Lloyd, one of the more than 500 Americans arrested for her involvement in the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6

Her lawyer, Heather Shaner, also represents other 1/621 defendants, and apparently is recommending the thought reform confessions to toher clients:

Black Lives Matter co-founder describes herself as ‘trained Marxist’

by Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, June 25, 2020

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.

Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview, Breitbart News reported.

“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.

“We are trained Marxists. ...”

“Mann was elected to SDS [Students for a Democratic Society] national committee in 1968.[18] He told the Associated Press that he believed in “continuous resistance” against “institutions and policies of corporate capitalism” and that SDS chapters transition from campus protests groups to community groups that would guide students as a “de facto government.”[19]

When SDS splintered into three groups in 1969, Mann, then a leader in the SDS faction, the Weathermen (Weather Underground), adopted the Revolutionary Youth Movement’s belief that violent “direct action,” a euphemism for terrorism, should be used as a tactic to dismantle the group’s perceived power centers of “US imperialism”.[20]

Mann and 20 others were arrested in September 1969 for participation in a direct action against the Harvard Center for International Affairs, which the Revolutionary Youth Movement saw as a university-sponsored institution for counter-insurgency.[14] [21]

Mann and 24 other Weathermen were charged with conspiracy to commit murder after two bullets were fired through a window of the police headquarters on November 8, 1969.

Mann surrendered to the police on four counts stemming from the November 8 incident: conspiracy to commit murder, assault with intent to commit murder, promotion of anarchy, and threatening.[22]

Mann was sentenced to two years in prison of which he spent 18 months in Billerica, Deer Island, and Concord State Prison ...”

They were discussing the logistics. For some reason I’d never caught that before.

They also had plans to divide the United States into different sectors, each being controlled by a different communist power, namely, Russia, China and some others. I’m sure they were planning this with these foreign powers’ corporation and guidance.

Here below is a more complete transcript...

There’s a linked YouTube video at the end.

Larry Grathwohl (FBI informant):

I brought up the subject of what is going to happen after we take over the government. You know, we become responsible then for administrating 250 million people.

And there was no answer. And no one had given any thought to economics, how are you going to clothe and feed these people. The only thing that I could get was that they expected that the Cubans and the North Vietnamese and the Chinese and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of the United States.

“I asked, ‘well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?’ and the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say ‘eliminate,’ I mean ‘kill.’ Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious.”

When the Union arrived in the South and occupied towns and cities during the Civil War, they demanded that residents of these towns take the Oath of Allegiance. Most signed it. Some didn’t, probably because of family connections or one thing or another.

In FLorida, there were some in West Florida who did have major slave plantations, some of them belonging to Andrew Jackson, but East Florida had a lower percentage of slave owners and just some people who weren’t supporting slavery but were just supporting their state (Florida was the third state to secede, but it had only been a state for about 15 years). So there was a lot of conflict.

Those who didn’t sign were exiled (often, not very far…for example, from St. Augustine to Jacksonville) and their property was seized. Much of this was later restored after the end of the war.

The only people imprisoned were those considered leaders who were in contact with more important Confederate honchos. Only a few were hanged, including Henry Wirz, a Swiss immigrant who was governor of Andersonville.

So that’s the pattern, but it was legitimate and actually, had Lincoln lived, it is thought that the reconciliation would have been much easier.

But the situation now is a unique situation. Nobody has rebelled against the government in the current case but are just asking for their rights. All conservatives are under attack and are now considered automatically enemies of the state. So I don’t know what’s going to happen, but giving in doesn’t help…and it doesn’t spare you, in the long run.
