Left Calls for ‘Army of Citizen Detectives’ to Monitor & Report Trump Supporters
Breitbart ^ | 1-19-2021 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 01/20/2021 8:04:11 AM PST by CanvasDefender

Many on the left are promoting a recent video created by novelist and left-wing activist Don Winslow, which calls upon citizens to become cyber detectives to monitor and report fellow citizen Trump supporters to authorities while comparing the work of this “army of citizens” to that which led to the capture of al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.

Yes, I had an aunt that was one of those evil people. My mom, who hated Communism, was ashamed of her. I can see certain family workers, so-called friends and coworkers doing this. Already keeping a distance from certain rabid Leftists.

Winslow seems to think that only the left can make a list.

If human behavior is given free reign (think Leftists in this country) what was in that movie will happen here.

It was indeed a remarkable movie.

The part that really stuck in my mind was when they were casing the dissident’s apartment and putting the bugs in, the State guy happens to look over and sees the light in the keyhole to an apartment across the hallway change, and without a moment of hesitation marches over and delivers the heavy knock of the state on the door.

The woman in sides sees him immediately turn and walk over...and knows she is screwed.

For looking through a keyhole into the hallway.

The one I saw in Clearwater Fl is exactly like that except for the face. Instead of the face, it is the FBI symbol. Which is worse, I think. Took a picture of it but it is very blurry. I will try to take another one to post. I was so flabbergasted when I saw it I made a uturn to go back to see it to make sure it wasnt a joke. It wasnt. God help us all.

I thought the face was bad enough, but I think you are right, the FBI symbol is even worse.

Like that, only with knowing how much Semtex is enough for any given application...

...and the willingness to apply that knowledge.

<> Traitors in the family: Stalin’s informers <>

Neighbours. Friends. Even your closest loved ones. In Stalin’s Russia, everyone was an informer. And as a chilling new book reveals, one word from a resentful child was enough to send you to the firing squad.

<> East German Snitching Went Far Beyond the Stasi <>

Everyone knows about the Stasi and the extent to which it spied on the East German populace. But that was only a small part of the informing that went on. New research shows that snitching was vastly more common than previously thought.

“Good evening. I have some information for you. Grab a pen!”

. . . “I’m listening.”

“Ms. Marianne Schneider is traveling on Wednesday, Sept. 14, to West Berlin for a visit. She doesn’t intend to return.”

. . . “And who are you?”

Silence.

. . . “You would like to remain anonymous?”

“Yes.”

. . . “What is the basis for your information?”

“She said so, to her closest friends.”

Then, the mysterious caller hung up. And Marianne Schneider* had a problem. Officials immediately revoked her travel permit and began monitoring her phone and mail in addition to questioning her neighbors and friends.

Actually, China has ZERTO interest in invading America.


They need living space in a clean environment for the CCP and the Chinese people to survive and America is the goal - they claim it because the North American Indians arrived from China so to their way of thinking this is a s much part of China as Taiwan.

The vast expanse of Siberia is just across the border from China, largely unoccupied and needing hundreds of millions of people to create booming cties and economies. Putin and China have eigned cooperation agreements that make them closer than ever, especially on the eonomic front.
Much better for China than America

and America is the goal - they claim it because the North American Indians arrived from China so to their way of thinking this is a s much part of China as Taiwan.

The Chinese need an occupied America like a hole in the head.
They have enough problems controlling their own people.

The Secret Speech of General Chi Haotian

Except that Chi Hoatian is not in power and his Maoist ideas went out of fashion long, long ago.. The guy is like over 90 years old and is currently of little consequence.

“Except that Chi Hoatian is not in power and his Maoist ideas went out of fashion long, long ago”
And how do you know the inner workings and power structure of the CCP and the Central Committee?

Maoist ideas have been revived under Xi Jinping - does not matter who’s in power, CCP goals remain. And the speech is only 18 months old. So why do you imagine he gave the speech to the Central Committee in secret? Why do you imagine the Committee invited him to speak in the first place, if he is “out of power and currently of little consequence”?

“They have enough problems controlling their own people.”
China needs to occupy America precisely to control their people - you would know that had you read the speech.

Siberia is cold and hostile; they would face the best troops and best equipment in the Russian Army. Cooperation does not extend to moving millions of Chinese across the border.

China already has control of the US under the Pawns Harris and Biden; they have already significantly weakened the country by rigging the election; using the covid bio-weapon to disrupt the culture, the economy and life for most with lock-downs (Chinese idea) and flu vaccination serums that are closer to placebos then real vaccinations.

But OK, you keep watching the Russians and the long dead Nazis

We need to do better than that. We have to trick the leftist serpent into swallowing it’s own tail and consuming itself at every opportunity. It can be done. The whole mess that is the liberal circus is built on a foundation of sand to start. We can exploit that.

No, it’s Princess Leia speaking to Grand Moff Tarkin. Still a good quote though, even from Carrie Fisher.

It’s their move. We have to let them make their move(s) and wait for a mistake. I think they’ll make plenty. Abuse of power and self dealing will be foremost among them.
