FYI – a repost – my take from a year ago. Thoughts?
“No, I quite approve of terror, arson, murder, any tool that serves the revolution.” –Nicholas and Alexandra
I wonder if this came as a peasant surprise to the nobility?
The worm has turned on Biden. Pardon me if I say that this is right on schedule. Trump document frenzy made the Left drool like Amy Schumer when she’s near a cake or AOC when she’s near a new coloring book. To get Trump, the Left would do anything. Anything.
In a very real sense, just as the Left views abortion as a sacrament, the destruction of Trump is a religious goal, as he is the manifestation of their supreme Evil being.
This is nothing new. Remember when George W. Bush was president? His politics were, essentially, as controversial as lukewarm dishwater. But the hate flew strong. Until he started showing up in group hot tub photos with Bill and Hillary and Barack and Mooshell. Then he was no longer the Prince of Darkness, instead just a fuddy-duddy old man who chose wrong.
I’m really glad I couldn’t find the hot tub photos.
Biden, though, is in as bad a shape politically as he is mentally. Joe was (s)elected for the job because he has never really stood for anything in particular, so he’ll stand for anything at all. Even his “memories” are false half the time, talking about things that never happened so that he looks the best to whoever he’s talking to at the moment.
The perfect candidate.
Who is in control then? One would first point to the Chief of Staff, but that person just quit. It’s clear that half of his appointees have little to no competence at anything – I’m fairly certain that only one or two of them could pass the probation period making pizzas at Chuck E. Cheese™.
Kamala says her body is a temple. Everyone is allowed in.
So, I’m not at all sure who is running the show, but we all know it’s not Joe. And whoever is running the show is done with him. Will they force him to step down? Maybe. It would be chaotic, and risky. Replacing kneepads as Veep would require a majority vote – of both the House and the Senate. Since the Republicans hold the House, this would not necessarily be an easy choice.
Even if Joe survives (politically) to 2024, the only reason to have him run again would be for the amusement factor. It’s also clear that the person who will eventually replace Joe is not Kamala. Oh, sure, she might do that until the next election if Joe’s forced to resign, but “they” will make sure that she’s not allowed to do anything of particular importance. Maybe she could do coloring books with AOC.
Someone asked her why the chicken crossed the road. She said, “It’s because of corporate greed! Chickens should not be forced to lay eggs – the eggs should lay themselves!”
The danger is the weak leadership combined with the political polarization and the hidden nature of those who are actually running the government. This seems to me to be very similar to the period before the French Revolution.
- A weak leader,
- Massive governmental debt leading to economic crisis,
- A significant rural/city divide,
- A significant atheist/religious divide,
- Political polarization fueled by agitators, and
- Silly clothing styles.
One of the interesting things to me are those agitators. They were clearly in place at the time of the French Revolution since the Leftist (the French Revolution is where the name “Leftist” came from) pamphlets that appeared “spontaneously” and the large number of inflammatory newspapers that were designed to fuel the Revolution, primarily in Paris.
I tried to tell a guillotine joke, but I always mess up the execution.
The effort was too large and too well coordinated to be an accident. Was Marat, the lizard-skinned angry little toad of a man the leader? Was Robespierre?
In the end, it didn’t matter.
The Revolution gave way to the Terror, where (thankfully) Robespierre and Marat were finally executed. They had to be executed, since, once any Leftist revolution starts, it keeps moving Left in great gouts of blood until someone has the gumption to kill everyone that’s to the extreme Left. Stalin learned that lesson, and purged Trotsky along with millions of others.
The end result has almost always been the same as what happened in France. Tired of the nonsense coming from the anarchy they accepted a new Emperor, this time one named Bonaparte rather than Bourbon.
What position would Quasimoto play at Notre Dame? Probably halfback.
The playbook is the same, and it seems to follow the same parameters over time. Understand that as the statues were pulled down from Notre Dame, and as it was transformed from a church into the “Temple of Reason” that we’re seeing the same things today. The Left removes the past, because nothing can come before – they see this as a cleansing, the ability to return to “Year Zero”.
The future does not repeat, exactly. The Russian Revolution wasn’t the same as the French, but they certainly rhymed. As I look to weak leadership, polarization, economic difficulty, and Amy Schumer, I see the same conditions that existed back in 1789.
I’m still interested in who is going to benefit . . . if there’s less Amy Schumer, then everyone.
“Who is in control then?”
EZPZ. Really.
Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”
Exactly.
I think that a microwave oven with a hole cut in the bottom of it will replace the guillotine in the case of a leftist Reign of Terror that spreads across a future American countryside. The device would still be widely available after all the now-illegal guns are confiscated and melted down from those who did not flee to Red America during the Leftist Revolution. Execution microwaves could be run off of solar panels for spectacle entertainment executions after the power grid goes down. Imagine: The crowd gathers close around…the device is placed ceremoniously upon the head of the damned who is zip-tied to a cheap outdoor folding chair….the cheap dial is spun with a click…the crowd is silent as the damned writhes for a few moments moment amid the buzz of the oven and then is suddenly deathly still…there is the ding of a bell as the machine finishes its work…and the sudden roar of approval by the crowd!!!!

“Reuben Garrett Lucius Goldberg (July 4, 1883 – December 7, 1970), better known as Rube Goldberg (/ˈruːb/), was an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor.
Goldberg is best known for his popular cartoons depicting complicated gadgets performing simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways. The cartoons led to the expression “Rube Goldberg machines” to describe similar gadgets and processes.”

Spectacle. There’s gotta be spectacle. And a memorable, preferably new, method to pass down through the ages as being associated with your particular purge.

I would also make the point that in the US, execution by choking asphyxiation now has too much of a negative vibe for widespread public acceptance.
Gaseous asphyxiation, however, is another matter.

chick flik as Ernest used to say
Well . . . that was dark. Now I need to see that movie rather than the feminist stuff in the clip.
I have heard the story that, in the time of the czars in Russia, any prince in line for the czarship, the son of a czar, would be sent out into the wilderness, on an island, I believe, where he would have to survive alone for one year. I think this was in medieval times. Anyone who knows about this, please help me out. (My sources were a Russian physicist that I worked with, as well as our personal lawyer, whose son-in-law was Russian. They both maintained that, yes, indeed, it was for a full year. I asked the Russian about the possibility of the prince dying, and he said that, well, there were plenty to take his place.) Again, this was no doubt intended to provide a great maturing influence on the individual, as well as making him a survival expert. Could we do this for potential presidents?
Or maybe this idea. Supposedly the Persian empire had a policy pertaining to youthful members of the royalty that, at a certain age, they be sent far away from the centers of power so as to reside with nobles living near the frontier. (It’s mentioned in Herodotus’ account of the Greco-Persian wars.) Here they were charged to concentrate on learning three things, to be expert riders, to shoot accurately and to speak nothing but the truth. Wine, women and song were out for the duration while they learned the hard lessons of leadership in a hard world. They had to learn by doing how to conduct warfare since, in those days, it was a low level constant along the frontiers. At the end of their tenure they could resume life at the palace and learn diplomacy and such ancillary skills, but they would be changed in such a way that their leadership would not imperil the country. It was a recognition that a leader being raised in wealth could be disastrous, and you end up with the WEF.
“Adversity has the effect of drawing out strength and qualities of a man that would have laid dormant in its absence.” ~ Herodotus
Theodore Roosevelt is said to have had a plaque reading:
To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth
That Is The Ancient Charge Of Youth
(I learned about this from the book by Jeff Cooper entitled To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth. It is available on Amazon.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Tsar_Saltan
“The story is about three sisters. The youngest is chosen by Tsar Saltan (Saltán) to be his wife. He orders the other two sisters to be his royal cook and weaver. They become jealous of their younger sister. When the tsar goes off to war, the tsaritsa gives birth to a son, Prince Gvidon (Gvidón). The older sisters arrange to have the tsaritsa and the child sealed in a barrel and thrown into the sea. The sea takes pity on them and casts them on the shore of a remote island, Buyan. The son, having quickly grown while in the barrel, goes hunting. He ends up saving an enchanted swan from a kite bird. The swan creates a city for Prince Gvidon to rule…much shaggy-dog-story-detail ensues……At the end of the tale, the merchants go to Tsar Saltan’s court and, impressed by their narration, decides to visit this fabled island kingdom at once…He is overjoyed to find his newly married son and daughter-in-law.
Then there’s this…

I kinda love that idea.
I wouldn’t buy Charlotte Corday Brand Sal de Bain. It gives you a knifing pain. 9 out of 10 members of the Marat family agree.
Ha! But who is in the tub?
IMHO 2024 is going to be a barn burner, like NO one has seen before
Yeah, crazy stuff happening. Wait until Mooshell enters the picture.
I highly recommend Anatomy of Revolutions, by Crane Brinton, for a serious historians view of the common factors, and differences, between four major revolutions: English, American, French, and Russian. Written in the 1930s, the jury was still out on the eventual success of the new Russian model, but we have other sources for that!

I think it was Chou Enlai that said in response to what he thought about the outcome of the 1789 French Revolution meant was , “It is too early to tell”.
Long term thinking.
Ohhhh, looks good.
Revolutions are like romance movies. They names change, some of the details change but they always follow the same basic script. Humans, in grand schemes, are fairly predictable, even in chaotic events like a revolution.
Yeah, but they get bigger . . . .
“Joe was (s)elected for the job because he has never really stood for anything in particular, so he’ll stand for anything at all.”
I’m pretty sure he wasn’t chosen. The best explanation I’ve been able to find/ come up with is this:
Media polls to the contrary, those at the top knew Trump was going to win in a landslide. They’d shown he could be stymied, so they accepted this. 4 years of rude tweets, some deep state sabotage, and then it’s back to business as usual. This is why the Dem primary was instead of a “who’s who” of Dem power brokers, was a “who’s that?” of broken Dems.
Bernie, perennial bridesmaid.
Buttgag, gay mayor of 3rd largest city in IN (WTF?)
Bloombergblattstein, rich jew virtually unknown outside of NY
Fauxahontas, too long to explain
Even more telling than the list of nobodies running, was who wasn’t running: HRC. Short of knowing for a fact that it was a suicide mission, there is no way she could have been kept out of it. She didn’t even try.
Unfortunately for that plan, the useful idiots of the Dem party never got the memo. They were hyped up on OrangeManBad, and when they saw he was about to win in spite of MSNBC’s predictions, they went balls-out cheat mode.
It makes me smile thinking of how HRC must have reacted when Biden won, especially since the only reason we know the name ‘Clinton’ was Billy taking the same long shot against Bush 1, whom everyone knew was a mortal lock on winning.

Remember that America had it’s own shadow conspiracy pulling strings to kick off a revolution: the Sons of Liberty.
There might not have been a war at all but for an unknown sharpshooter behind the hedges shooting a Limey officer which pissed them off enough to start firing back at the colonists in the open who weren’t shooting. Almost every name of those involved in Lex/Concord is known, as they were proud of it. Yet no one ever came forward to claim that honor.
And history rhymes . . . I think there are Sons of Liberty out there, right now.
What have we got to lose?
The majority of children in the USA right now are not American. Every day, we get older and weaker. Every day, our enemies grow more numerous.
Sooner is better. And based on this week, sooner is back on the menu.
