Take heed. It's what shitlib rats have in store for us - that's you AND your family. If we let them.

Every millennial should read this but that means they would have to sign off social media for 10 minutes.

WOW....what hell some are thrown into. Impossible to truly understand.

I’ve been reading the Red Sparrow books - now on 3rd book - which was written by a former CIA man so he knows a lot. (He obviously didn’t think much of Obama) The books describe some of the tactics used by Russians and the mentality.
We are so different for the most part.

Great stuff, and a BTT.

I saw what a weighty argument for the intellectual is the most ordinary slap in the face.

If you wait until you have to kill them, you've waited too long and are not doing either one of you a favor.

40. Knowing people is useless, for I am unable to change my attitude toward any scoundrel.

Good advice.

Kolyma, Kolyma.
Amazing planet.
Twelve months of winter.
The rest is summer.

Kolyma poetry.

33. Repressions affected not just the top layer but every layer of society—in any village, at any factory, in any family there were either relatives or friends who were repressed.

I think what people -- most notably modern Russians (who have yet to properly reflect on and forge closure on this monumental and very recent time of their history) -- fail to comprehend, is that the Gulag system was not just a symptom of Stalinist society, but the foundation.

For the system to function, it required the ascent and participation of ALL people in every strata of society. Everyone contributed their part, however consciously or unconsciously. It was not just guards and prisoners. Mere survival required it.

Catastrophic rates of abortion were also heavily practiced in the Soviet Union a half century before ours...Russia and China have some obvious demographic consequences -- but even in our own American society, as activist Lila Rose points out:

We are all "wounded" by the practice even if we have not personally experienced one ourselves. We do not realize how so much of the chaos and breakdown of sexuality, relationships, and propensity for violence can trace their roots to the status abortion holds as a basis for modern culture to operate.

A good companion volume: Drawings from the Gulag by Danzig Baldaev.

And more illustrations.

Absolutely agree. This is why the Second Amendment is essential and that going back to the intent of our founding of America needs to be re-established. Way to many have this admiration for the slave and tyranny "-isms" of the left. A part of our population is inexplicably indifferent. God bless Free Republic.

If we willingly give up our guns this will happen to us.
Look at Britian and the supression of free speach there. It’s happening in Canada too. And even here our news media has lost its freedom through monopolization that extends to social media and so- called higher education.

Yes, I immediately thought of the Left/Democrats when I read this:

"The passion for power, to be able to kill at will, is great—from top bosses to the rank-and-file guards"

His account reads much like the book “The Fixer”...by Bernard Malamud, which I had to read in high school...about 1968...I just re-read it. I’ll bet they don’t require it anymore....no sex in it.

“Take heed. It’s what shitlib rats have in store for us - that’s you AND your family. If we let them. “

And this is the HARDEST PART for our side.

It is PERFECTLY NORMAL to judge people against our own standards...no one on this site would do One Percent of what you listed, therefor the Left would NEVER do the same to us.

So ask yourselves these SIMPLE QUESTIONS: How were the Bolsheviks able to kill every one of the Romanov Family (the former rulers)? How was Hitler able to get his hands on millions of Jews, to kill them?

ANSWERS: Neither of them actually BELIEVED that their ‘loyal opposition’ was capable of such. They both, WITHOUT A DOUBT, were warned numerous times as to what was in store.

They chose not to believe them.

“An organization a tenth the size would have swept Stalin away in two days.

True.

“Article [II] (Amendment 2) A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Organize and defend.
