I saw that new movie “Death of Stalin” the other day. Very worth watching. The history isn’t perfect, it does some things like compress events that took 6 months into a few days. But it absolutely captures that behind the scenes machinations that happened as the power structure scrambled for power.
I couldn’t help but think of our CIA and FBI and the Clinton and Bush families as they have engaged in the American version of sedition. Less murderous by far, but couched in legalisms.
The question of “can it happen here” is moot. It IS happening here.
I was also thinking about what went on behind the scenes when Khrushchev was replaced with Brezhnev.
Today I heard chuckUschummer on the radio in his greasy voice saying that the prosecutors and judges are Republicans and I thought SO WHAT. These 2 parties have been a charade forever...the only real goal is money for themselves and their friends at the expense of We The People.
There are a few exceptions...too few.
