[who knows what evil?]

There was a miserable little bastard who was held up as a folklore like example in the Soviet Union, who ratted out his parents to the Cheka and got them sent off to the gulag. I can’t remember his name but he was officially praised as a hero and held up as an example.

I have an uncomfortable feeling that the same thing will be happening in this country; sooner rather than later. I avoid family gatherings like the plague. :-)

[Psalm 144]

Here is the story. I didn’t remember it quite correctly, and it is far more convoluted than I remembered:

A very interesting foot note at the end, as the little snitch is rehabbed by a familiar figure:

“Increasingly, Pavlik was regarded with contempt, pity, or at best indifference: his life started to be forgotten. However, in 2003, the ‘Otkrytoe obshchestvo’ foundation, sponsored by George Soros, awarded a grant of $7000 to finance the reopening of the museum, this time with a display placing the life of Pavlik in the context of the collectivisation campaign, and of the political repression that it represented.”

[Charles Martel]

I have an uncomfortable feeling that the same thing will be happening in this country; sooner rather than later.

Agreed. The mechanism (public schools, state-run media, etc.) is in place, virtually assuring this sort of future).
