One of the oddest sights one can see in Moscow’s Red Square, aside from the artificially preserved and no longer even quite real-looking body of V. I. Lenin, are the tombs of most of the other Communist chiefs of the Soviet Union, all placed in a row outside the Kremlin wall. Joseph Stalin, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko are there, along with several lesser Soviet officials.
Each of their graves features a bust of the revered leader, but none of them appear to be actually revered except the man who was arguably the most brutal of them all, Stalin himself. While the graves of the others are usually bare, Stalin’s regularly features bunches of flowers that Russians who still revere his memory have brought from all over the vast country to place at his tomb. They miss him. They love him.
It could be that the simple fact that Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union during its darkest hour, World War II, accounts for this. When the country went through unparalleled suffering, Stalin was there at the helm, and he was still there when National Socialist Germany was crushed and Soviet Russia was victorious. And it may also be that the continuing reverence for Stalin is a manifestation of Machiavelli’s dictum, it is better to be feared than to be loved. And sometimes, human nature being what it is, being feared will make one be loved.
The rioters in Los Angeles have decided, as leftists and their jihadi allies so often do, to take the path of terror. They are trying to frighten the public into being too afraid to oppose the mass migration of unvetted people into the United States, as well as too afraid to support deporting all these illegal migrants. They want to terrorize the Trump administration and the public into accepting that the migrants are here to stay, or else.
They’re doing this because the migrants are essential to the left’s power base. If Trump succeeds in deporting a vast number of illegal migrants, Democrat states will suffer a significant decline in population, which means a significant decline in political power. Accordingly, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have come out strongly in favor of the rioters and against Trump, insisting that he is acting like a dictator in calling out the National Guard to quell the unrest, and declaring that they’re going to do everything they can to ensure that the migrants stay.
Behind their pious declarations is the threat of the rioters’ terror, just as behind the Russian Marxists’ declaration of a just society in which workers would finally enjoy the just fruits of their labors was the specter of Bolshevik and later Stalinist terror. Newsom and Bass aren’t (at least in this case) hypocrites: they almost certainly believe that if they prevail, and the mass migration can resume, or at least the last mass migration cannot be reversed, the results will be good for Americans at large as well as for their own power base.
Machiavelli himself reflected this point of view when he wrote that “Cesare Borgia was considered cruel; nonetheless his cruelty restored the Romagna, united it, and reduced it to peace and to faith. On this matter, if one considers it carefully, one will see that he was much more merciful than the Florentine people, who, in order to avoid a reputation for cruelty, allowed Pistoia to be destroyed.”
See? It’s all for your own good. Leftists are convinced, just as Cesare Borgia was so long ago, that they know what is best for America, and for you. They want you to fear them now, and then when they achieve victory and establish their ideal socialist, authoritarian state, you will come to love them, just as so many Russians today love Stalin.
And indeed, if they do prevail, you will come to love them. You will have no choice. You’ll hear all day and all night about how great and noble they are, and about how evil their enemies are. (That’s right, it’ll be like having MSNBC on 24-hour blast.) The totalitarian vision is the boot on the face, stamping forever, and more: the man whose face is getting smashed is saying, out of his bloody, ruined mouth, “Thank you.” He loves Big Brother. He knows how dangerous it is not to.
Where are flame throwers when you need them? Those mobs in LA are flammable and need burning.
5 downthumbs? It’s nice to see the libtards patronizing FPMag.
But to your point……You ever smell burning feces? It smells like LA.
They want to be loved???
No Way.
You can have a school of fish.
…a pack of wolves.
…a flock of birds.
…a spic of fire starters.
And so on.
With all the thumbs up of such a stupid assertion, it’s nice to see there are low IQ people who can read. And we thought our schools we’re doing a lousy job teaching people to read…
I see we have six dick lickers here. Does it taste like chicken? “Buh Cock!”
that’s disgusting but I see the satire in it – and yes, thumbs down are as you stated
Stick to beating up defenseless homeless people and your ghetto BLM wife.
Are you sure it’s not “ex-wife?” He’s shared with readers that he doesn’t want to earn more money because he doesn’t want his ex-wife to get any of it. I think it was Hugh Faleore, in his book “Strategies for Successful Living,” that pointed out this approach.
I do love the smell of napalm in the morning.
Load the rest/survivors in trebuchets, and launch them across the Rio Grande. Pull up lawn chairs, pour an adult beverage, and enjoy the spectacle.
(Afterwards, send that dumbbitch Sheinbaum a bill for the expenses.)
Scared? I’m excited at the prospect of going full Geranamo on the 3rd world scumbag foreign invaders.. Geranamo knew who these scumbags are and had great words to say about them.
Who is “Geranomo”?
The spell check version of Geronimo. St. Jerome the killer.
his pampered pet geranium He likes her because she don’t talk back none.
And through all this the memory that a significant part of Los Angles has already been burnt down and what or who caused it has been dropped down to that little place of forgetfulness.
Many of the people in power who are cheering this on were probably happy to see Pacific Palisades burn. I mean, they deserved it, right? And Altadena? Well, let’s just forget about that.
You have a solid point.
The NYTimes put the Abu Ghraib story on their front page (above the fold) for 100 days straight.
However, with the LA fire, they did cursory stories, musing over “climate change” being a cause, then as soon as they could, dropped the story down the memory hole.
The glaring criminal neglect that guaranteed the disaster was only slightly touched on, mainly to give themselves cover. “What bias? We did so, did so, report on it!”
no one is above the law .!! except democrats and their brownshirt army . groundhog day on repeat . unfortunately america prefers anarchy instead of peace . one half of voters prefer lawlessness the other half will be ignored . the barbarians are on the loose again . if they are not put down america is done for .
I’m afraid we are done. How many times have they been warned about crossing the line. How many crimes of corruption have been committed. Still not one person has been frog marched.
Fauci is another example of a “leader” who was cruel and unjust yet loved by the sheeple of the left and right. Too many Americans are easily swayed by the lies of the media.
There are 8 books agrandizing that prick that I know of (and thankfully, at least 3 that expose his venal bullshit).
“Dr. Fauci. How a boy from Brooklyn became America’s Doctor” is the most nauseating one – cranked out during the pandemic he caused.
Two other children’s books about that fool also exist, one being a coloring book 🤢.
“The Incredible Wisdom of Dr. Fauci” might be the worst suck-up book geared to low-octane adults.
Naturally, the AFT placed his agitprop children’s books in public school libraries, right next to “Gender Queer”.
The preening, overpaid prick was pardoned for a reason; he’s grifting scumbag who clandestinely financed Wuhan
(It’s his tough shit that he’s being investigated regardless.)
…and swayed by the holders of sheepskins:
Thus, ‘sheeple’ 〰️
I know many “on the right” and not one of them carries any warm fuzzies for Phautchee. NOT ONE. ALL despise him and the diseased horse upon which he rode in.
“And if they prevail, they want to be loved as well.”
Hello Robert, God-forbid if they prevail they will DEMAND to be loved.
Well, color me shocked. A Leftist astro turf riot. With Maxine waters running around wanting to see some guy named Huerta. What a profile in courage.
Who paid for the riot goodies? The masks, the Me-he-can flags, etc. Soros? The DNC? The American Communist Party? All three? What a bunch of pussies.
Anyone notice that the modern day “riots” all look the same from the BLM riots a few years back, to the peaceful protest George Floyd “direct actions” to this latest staged half riot.
Let’s go back to the Rodney King riot. Now that was a riot. Half of LA burned and a large number of people were killed. Koreans on the rooftops with shotguns protecting their businesses. And when the troops were finally called no one threatened to sue the feds. The bruthuhs really know how to throw a riot. Shee-it.
Nasty rumor (is it true?) …
A daughter of the Wal Mart fortune paid for this round of mayhem.
I remember that they were firing ball, out of AK 47’s. A suitable tool for the job at hand.
Whatever,….. the invaders certainly got the message. They never came back to “finish rhe job”.
Real Communists leading this looting, riots, arson, and even killings! PAID $$$? Okay… well catch them with TAX EVASION! (Remember Mitch McDear from The Firm who caught the Firm overbilling? MAIL FRAUD twenty years per incident!) YES, did the employer demand W-9s and then send out tax forms to their employees to file on their FEDERAL TAXES? Did employees report income, CASH TOO, to EBT, Section 8, unemployment, SS, ANYONE??? A person put out a clip of a CRAIGSLIST ad seeking “tough people” TO RIOT WITH $6500 amount. TAX EVASION? THIS IS NOT FREEDOOM OF SPEECH/ASSEMBLY. THEY ARE PAID TO RIOT, TO INCITE, TO DESTROY! NOW WHO IS FUNDING THEM? (During the Ferguson riots, some protesters actually protested in front of the office that hired them DEMANDING PAYMENT! TAX EVASION!) Listen to me damn it! Do something! I called our local IRS telling them that the NM Communist Party was having meetings at the Peace and Justice Center, against IRS rules. They moved and now no Communist group can meet there! DO IT! TAX EVASION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT’S HOW YOU GET THESE POS!
There is A.N.S.W.E.R., The Party for Socialism and Liberation, the Revolutionary Communist Party, and the Communist Party USA. Smaller group, The Democratic Socialists of America. ALL HARDCORE RADICALS! WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO LOOT, RIOT, AND BURN CITIES DOWN? THE POLICE KNOW WHO THEY ARE? WHY NOT? BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPORTED BY DEMOCRATS AS MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA!
Many other members of Congress are CLOSET MEMBERS of The Communist Party USA…. like Bernie Sanders and several of the Congressional Black Caucus including Maxine Waters who is always a guest, and guest speaker, at these Communist Party USA conventions!
THESE ARE THE ENEMY WITHIN! EXPOSE THEM! STOP VOTING FOR ANY DEMOCRAT! THEY SUPPORT THESE RIOTS!
NOW GO AFTER BIDEN, KAMALA, MAYORKAS, FOR STARTERS, FOR ALLOWING THIS INVASION! NO “POOR JOE. HE HAS CANCER!”
Nobody has to pay them. They do it for fun, and status among their cohorts.
Here we have a perfectly textbook case of what our National Guard is for and people, including the insane, IMHO beneath us, remarks of physical damage to others like schoolboys) I see here. I get the fun but am disappointed.
This is a serious moment. OK, yes we need to laugh too,. But Gavin does not seem to comprehend the danger of a growing crowd filled with hate and plenty of friends on call to joint them . Eisenhower did in Little Rock, thank God.
Gavin is insulted that Americans are being called “against” Americans, ignoring the criminal aspects evident to all but him, and not understanding one thing about law and order, instead my belief is that he spends his days counting up the real estate he and his friends can now begin to acquire in the Palisades.
One rioter was asked why he was rioting… he replied… “Because he could work in America.”
I thought…
Why not go back to the country you came from and riot there “for jobs”?
ugh…
I saw an ABC news clip this morning and the reporter made a statement describing the rioters in LA as innocent people having fun watching cars burn.
It was very early here on the East Coast, 4:00 AM, so I rewound my DVR to watch it again, just to confirm. Yup! Confirmed.
For some reason, as a young man, I can’t recall ever going downtown on a Saturday night to watch cars burn.
I didn’t miss anything.
Those raising foreign flags in America during an insurrection are terrorists. The Marines need to treat them as
such with all of their might and determination. These enemy combatants made their bed, the Marines will put
them to sleep in them.
Christy Walton is rumored to have purchased a boatload of hand-held American flags with light metal poles to pass out to the protesters who will burn downtowns on the 14th, with instructions to “capture the flag” for the eager allied media which awaits them.
Wal Mart itself has booted DEI, so boycotting would be useless.
Perhaps Christy holds restricted non-voting stock?
Perhaps she is a minority share-holder?
Apparently one of the complaints that Police have is that abused women will not report abuse to the legal system. They still love their abusers. Many people are the same. Till the day they died I’m sure some Germans still loved the Nazis. The same with Russians and Stalin. Unfortunately I am not one of those people. Our home grown and imported terrorists have been teaching our youth that socialism/communism is the best system/wave of the future since the 1960s. It’s not, freedom is, but we see the result of their efforts every day. I would say that over 50% of our leaders–political, business, religious, etc. are closet if not open communists. Recognize that their ULTIMATE leader, Satan, is calling the shots. He has had thousands of years to perfect his techniques and is very successful. Pray to our Heavenly Father and seek his and his son Jesus Christ’s grace and resist these satanic influences.
Fear them? Ha! There are guns and ammo flying off the shelves in LA County and these piss ants will not come in their neighborhoods.
The reason why President Trump won in a landslide because we are fed up.
From the pLandemic lockdowns, open borders, gaslighting, if President Trump didn’t win there would be revolutions and a civil war brewing. That’s what I feared and that’s what I saw would be the logical, mathematical outcome if they stole yet another election!
If we, the people, made it Too Big To Rig 2024 election, we sure as hell do not fear these illegal POS.
The Palisades fire and now this may help to flip the 2026 mid-terms to making California red!
These commies the illegal aliens were allowed to vote in and why they were allowed in and being allowed to stay for the handouts using out tax dollars will have to go.
They will be of no use to the satanic deep state of which they are willing stooge puppet whores – the deep state that is deadheading to the antichrist!
Listen to the brilliance of Dr. Thomas Sowell:
Sowell EXPOSES the Insane Truth Behind LA’s Anti-ICE Riots
wise words from one of our national treasures.
He grew up in conditions just like what the border crashing mobs wish to inflict upon us all.
Let one of those Bottom Feeding Sewer Dwelling scum suckers try to take someone’s Property and see how fast they end up in a Morgue and returned to Mexico in a long wooden Box
Burning the flag of our country they’d never leave and waving the Mexican flag where they don’t want to return….explain that somebody??????
