The parallels between today’s leftist mob and China’s Red Guard are uncanny
American Thinker ^ | 22 Sep, 2020 | Andrea Widburg

We’ve seen it repeatedly since George Floyd’s drug overdose: Chanting mobs of mostly young, white people surround diners at restaurants or drivers in cars and force them to repeat the “black lives matter” mantra. While some of those happily chant along, it’s evident that many are doing so because they are terrified of the screaming, violent, obscene mob surrounding them. For many of us, it’s like watching an American reprise of China’s Red Guard and its frightening struggle sessions. Paul Joseph Watson agrees. He’s has put together a video that shows how precisely today’s mob replicates China’s Red Guard.

I don’t often have the patience to sit through a 15-minute video because I usually get the point in the first few minutes. However, I watched every minute of Watson’s comparison between the ritual public shaming, all backed by actual or threatened violence, that we’re witnessing now and what happened in China from the mid-1960s through the end of the 1970s. Watson relies on archival footage, interviews, and movie reenactments to show what it was like to live in China when the Red Guard – made up of students who were true believers and others who joined the mob to take the target off their own backs – became ascendant.

Perhaps the most disturbing part of the video was how Watson compares the government’s role in America and China. In the 1960s, America had significant Marxist upheavals that paralleled what Mao was doing to China with the cultural revolution. However, back then, except for craven university professors who paved the way for the Marxist takeover of American academia, the American government was hostile to these radicals.

I think there are leftists in all levels of Federal, State and Local government supporting the riots, insurrection and coup attempts.

“Chanting mobs of mostly young, white people surround diners at restaurants or drivers in cars and force them to repeat the “black lives matter” mantra.”

I honestly can’t remember the last time I ate at a place that these mutants could reach - and I live between Newark and Jersey City in NJ. The business owners know it would be the kiss of death for their businesses, and the cops know their own families would be victimized by it.

These young people have nothing to live for and are fabricating a cause to die for (though they’d rather not).

Every past socialist revolution has the same modus operandi..and we are seeing it play out before our eyes.

Take a look at the young man with glasses at the center. He’d fit right in with today’s leftists. And he’d probably be considered a moderate because he’s not actually striking the older guy.

The worldview of the socialists is evil. It’s time the world was done with them. They’ve caused more than enough damage.

And the parallel between todays deep state press and Goebbels propaganda machine is uncanny.

The central committee of the Marxist Cronyist Globalist deep state need merely circulate their talking points and it is instantly headlines around the world and the subject of every talk show in the country {ref: Donna Brazile and Screechy [Jessica] Tarlov}

It shouldn’t be a surprise, they both drink the same Kool-Aid.

The resemblance is not uncanny if you look beyond the players and concentrate on their objective. The goal is to set up a pro-Communist regime in the United States, a dream of leftists since the days of FDR and the New Deal, which was supposed to introduce the command-and-control state to the people of the United States slowly and in increments to which no widespread resistance would be organized.

Only, the Second World War got in the way, and US soldiers got introduced on the ground to what great injustices resulted from the regimes both the National Socialists of Germany and the Fascists of Italy. Those warriors came marching home, to first wipe out the Democrat majorities that had prevailed in the House of Representatives, and to seriously challenge the Truman administration on almost every front. And they almost put Harry out of office in 1948, but that was snatched back jut in time.

Had General George S Patton not died shortly after the war of the effects of a car accident, he would have returned and stormed through the existing Democrat hegemony, with a ferocity that make today’s Donald Trump seem almost warm and cozy by comparison. FDR was truly afraid of Patton, and was counting on General Eisenhower to keep him reined in.

As it was, Patton had broken through the German lines on March 22, 1945, and established a bridgehead before even passing the information up to General Omar Bradley.

Bradley was astonished at the news, and Patton was planning to turn his forces into a spearhead into Berlin, already on the move when SHAEF command radioed to Patton to slow down and wait for Lord Montgomery, leading the British. Thus blunted and slowed down, the Russians were allowed to arrive in Berlin BEFORE the Americans, and laid out the blueprint for decades of Soviet hegemony across Eastern Europe. Patton swore that if he had the opportunity, he would have smashed all his radios BEFORE launching the drive eastward, right straight to Moscow, the REAL enemy in his eyes.

Some question remains as to whether the death of Patton was disguised as an “accident”. The driver of the Army truck that swung out in front of Patton’s command car claimed to have been very sorrowful at causing the death of Patton, and it was all charged off to “Situation normal, all (fouled) up”, but the real truth may never be known.

“These young people have nothing to live for and are fabricating a cause to die for (though they’d rather not).”

I assume ‘young people’ refers to the mobs that are Burning, Looting and Murdering their way across the country. If they truly understood that their ‘leaders’ expect some of them to die for the cause, I doubt that they would be so enthralled with the ‘movement’. So the solution is as obvious as it is harsh: when the bodies of several hundred of these ‘protesters’ are laid out on medical examiners tables across the country, the ‘movement’ will lose momentum very quickly.

They are the same thing. China is at war with us. They already have armed armies here. China finances the Mexican gangs with fentanyl. Thats why China hates our boarder wall. The Chinese students in Schools and companies and labs stealing all our information is another army. The black army is still in the works. They are being let out of jails and armed in the streets. The schools are teaching them to hate whites. China is helping the prosecutors not prosecute. Then there are the antifa and BLM, they are running the city streets, demoralizing the cities. China supports all these. There may be other supporters like Soros. But Soros does not have the money to do it all. And he does not have the army. China has both. Soros can be in league with China. Whether on purpose or because they both have the same goal, take down America. And by the way, the press is the most important part of this. If they did not own the press, none of this would have a chance.

This is not a democrat vs. republican thing. This is a China vs. China thing. And Trump is on the America side. The parties are infiltrated. Both were on China’s side before. But Trump took one back.

None of them expect to die for it; they are just making up a cause because the war in Vietnam is over and the whale population seems to be OK. They are on the hunt for the next replacement for religion, and this is the “cause du jour”.
