Police State? Genocide? Could It Happen Here?
American Thinker ^ | 6 Jan, 2022 | Stasia Decker-Ahmed

It happened in the late spring when thousands of demonstrators took part in the Cultural Revolution. Students on campuses everywhere came together to make radical changes in the nation. The old ideas, customs, and beliefs had to be put away and a shining new society ushered in. Young people marched in the streets, tore down signs, and toppled statues. Media outlets throughout the country praised this unprecedented movement.

Did this happen in Seattle? Portland? The streets of Chicago? No, this was Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution that started in May 1966 and ushered in one of the bloodiest eras in China’s history. This particular cultural revolution ended with millions being murdered.

While what did happen in Seattle, Portland, and other American cities in 2020 started because of George Floyd’s death and primarily involved challenging racism and police brutality, it quickly escalated and evolved into so much more. One of the primary leaders of this movement referred to herself as a “trained Marxist.” Another activist tweeted, “Tear them down,” referring to statues of Jesus and Christian churches. In 2020, BLM rioters burned a Bible and American flags in Portland and decapitated a statue of Jesus in Miami.

These comments, and the actions of many of the protestors, bear a striking resemblance to another movement besides Chairman Mao’s Marxist makeover of Chinese society. There also was the Bolshevik Revolution. Nearly fifty years before Mao made his move, Lenin’s revolutionaries ushered in the first Marxist state. While creating their socialist Utopia, they went on to burn churches, execute priests, and ultimately kill millions once civil war ensued. While this rioting and burning that took place throughout 2020 diminished in 2021, the angry sentiments and striking division in our country has continued to grow.

Having the modern weapon and the will to use it are 2 different things. Killing another human is evil in itself.

On my PC, #3 shows up huge, takes the entire large PC screen. Just above, the same URL code showed up smaller than the height=500 version. Not sure why.

The democRATs are certainly following the Chinese model.


The Chinese model requires a hostile foreign invasion, decimation of Nationalist forces fighting the invasion, and defection of some Nationalist forces to a mostly inactive corps of armed Revolutionaries.

Then, the Revolutionaries need to attack and drive out of country the remaining and weakened nationalist forces. Once all power is consolidated in the hands of the Revolutionaries can the Workers Paradise be started

Next, the leadership of the Revolutionaries needs to identify a kindred foreign power that needs to be impressed by the Revolutionaries actions and acumen. To do so means becoming culturally similar to the kindred power and to do so means destroying all remnants of the old culture while replacing it with the new. Along the way, millions will be killed resisting and more millions starved by agricultural and trade blunders.

That’s the Chinese model.

American Revolutionaries are taking bits and pieces from any Revolutionary model that fits the particular situation. A smattering of fascism here, a bit of communism there, a snatch of raw socialism everywhere - all that coupled with historical and cultural revisionism, a redefinition of language, disruption of previous social norms, corruption of morals and decency, perversion of education and more.

“ Killing another human is evil in itself.”

No, it isn’t. Murdering another human being is - but there is a HUGE difference - legally and morally - between killing and murdering.

FYI, the 6th Commandment is “Thou shalt not murder.”

Sad to say we’re on our way and we’re rolling over like wet suits.

We’re already most of the way there. Well past the halfway point.

Ask Randy Weaver.

It’s comforting to see that, on occasion, the AmericanStinker opens its eyes to “possibilities” of things that have already occurred...

In a word “Yes.” It could happen here.
