“These people play for keeps. They aren’t messing around. They are on a mission to destroy anyone who gets in their way.”


My grandfather was born in Russia, but escaped and came here right after the Revolution. Most of his family (all but an older brother who was here) were trapped there. His father lost everything that he ever worked for when the Communists stole it in the 1920s; in the mid-’30s, old and sick with cancer in the Ukraine, he rented out the one thing they let him keep (his house), and they ended up beating him to death for it.

On the other side of my family, about 70 people were murdered in Poland by German Leftists and their henchmen.

I have, as a result, studied these people (Collectivists) for all of my adult life. They are obsessed with power over others, and there is literally nothing that they (as a group) will not do to acquire, enhance or keep it. Stalin murdered 20 million of his own people. Mao 60 million (and maybe more). Others were pikers in comparison...but only because they had lesser populations under their control.

Anyone who thinks that American Leftists/Collectivists will be any better than their 20th Century foreign counterparts is deluded. Human nature doesn’t care when you were born or where. People interested in power over others have, do and always will exist in every single society...and the only intelligent thing to do is for society itself to prevent these people from actually gaining power. We in America, despite the best efforts of the Founders, have tragically failed, and over the next few years we are going to find out - the hard way - exactly why the Founders tried to limit government power and to split it among 3 competing branches.

” The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...

We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

The people who took way too much pleasure in running roughshod over us in 2020 will be in charge in less that 24 hours.

Watch me eat $20 a pint ice cream out of my $25,000 freezer while you can barely afford oatmeal because I shut down your job. mmm-mm-mmm!

Here's your crumb. Be grateful you got that much, peon.

Laura Loomer: I’ve Been BANNED From Owning A Firearm, A Warning Of What’s To Come For All Conservative Americans

> by Laura Loomer / January 19th 2021, 12:56 pm

Given that the FBI is the only organization that can put you in the NICS database, I have reason to believe that I’ve been targeted by the FBI.

[This might be the tip of the targeted gun ban/confiscation iceberg for conservatives.]
