***You never hear about government lackeys starving in totalitarian regimes when the rest of the sheeple are eating from dumpsters and landfills.***
During the Siege of Leningrad a composer is called in by the Politbureau to compose a symphony to life the spirits of the starving population.
He said the first thing he smelled when he entered the door was FOOD! The politbureau members were fat while the city starved.
He got his orders to compose the symphony and left. He said they didn’t even offer him a bite of the food.
Then afterwards, Stalin had most of the heroes of the Seige of Leningrad killed.
That couuld never happen here in the Land Of The Free.
