Why Russians Love The Gestapo
Strategy Page ^ | December 9, 2014 | James Dunnigan

Most of the 85,000 Stasi employees were out of a job when the two Germanys reunited in 1990, but some eventually found work in foreign intelligence operations or the many commercial intel companies that were becoming popular. Some went to work for the Russians, from inside Germany. That may explain a lot of the odd stuff that has been going on since the 1990s.

This is an interesting, short read. Very timely.

Yesterday, AG Garland was able to give a short political speech in which he implored us to "Love the FBI". At the end, reporters started to ask him questions. He explained there were to be no questions. NO REPORTERS SHOUTED ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS! Did anyone think this was incredibly odd? They never quit yelling questions at Donald Trump. Do reporters fear Merrick Garland?

And now, instead of streamlining a government agency, which is what should be done in a modern society, a plan to hire 87,000 militarily fit, armed IRS agents is announced? At a time our southern border is wide open? These IRS agents will have incredible power to wield against patriotic American citizens. These agents will have the power to silence their opposition. We have already seen how the medical pharmaceutical complex can be used to purge the military, punish pilots who resist, etc. What exactly is going on here?

The 87,000 new militarily fit and armed IRS agents the Biden administration is seeking to hire, are more agents than were let go in East Germany at the end of Cold War 1!

It’s well known that Stalin admirer Hitler before Barbarossa. He commented to that effect after the Night of the Long Knives. Obviously, Hitler and Stalin had much in common.

We have our own Stasi now, they are called the FBI.

The IRS is to become the new Gestapo.

Apparently, hundreds may have been murdered during the “Night of the Long Knives”.

Maybe it’s time for all those purged from the military to apply for jobs at the IRS. They’re at least fit & able to handle weaponry. They just need to make sure any patriotic affiliations are hidden.

Headline: “Why Russians Love The Gestapo”

Article: describes admiration by KGB for the German Stasi and tactics they adapted for their own use.

So basically, the headline is about as accurate as saying “Why British Love the CIA” when you only mean to refer to MI6.

After the wall was taken down, we had more KGB in the US than East Germany.

I know; it wasn’t a point of criticism against you, but rather against the author (and the tendency of headline writers to overgeneralize).
