THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

No motive has been released in the attack, and police have not released a suspect description.

The Communist Revolution has dropped the mask.

By the end of the summer you will not recognize this nation or any of its smoldering major cities.

There is only one rule now: Shoot, shovel and shut up.

Good post.

In some cultures, these incidents are just part of the mix. How dare anyone suggest they do not express themselves as they would back home.

Knowing the British, they’re hyping up a few firecrackers and a beer bottle filled with gasoline.

The left loves violent riots with a lot of flames. Summer of 2020. Today in France. Now this.

Are they preparing for a Summer 2023 of Flames, Breaking Glass and Looting? Or will that be next Summer, just before the elections?

communists like to destabilize the civil order so they can seize more power during the confusion.

“During capitalist destabilization the possibility arises for the working class to seize state power and establish revolutionary socialism.” Irene Blankenship Marxists.org.

Also: “for revolution it is essential, .... that the ruling classes should be passing through a governmental crisis, “

“Agitation must be linked with propaganda in that it, too must put forth socialist revolution as the only alternative to more suffering”

“what leads to revolution is neither impoverishment nor prosperity in itself, but the alteration between prosperity and impoverishment and crisis. It is instability, the lack of constancy that drives revolution forward”

The French have been rioting for days.
The firestorm is headed to America.

There a a completely unhinged lunatic leftist whack job in DC who goes by the name Anarchy Princess.

I’ve had a couple “interactions” with her. Wouldn’t be surprised in the least if she was stupid enough to do this stuff.

Had the suspect walked across the capitol lawn the suspect would already be in prison.

The timeframe:

- The first incident happened at 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning when someone detonated an explosive device on the sidewalk outside the ATM at the Truist Bank on Washington Place NE and then fled the scene in a vehicle,

- Just minutes later, at approximately 4:36 a.m., the suspect detonated an explosive device on the sidewalk in front of the doors at the Nike Store on H Street.

- The third offense happened at 4:45 a.m. when this time, the suspect threw a Molotov cocktail at the Safeway on 40th Street before fleeing.

I checked on Google maps and the transit time for getting from incident 1 to incident 2 is 6 minutes just like the article said.

However, Getting from 2 to 3 should take 24 minutes and not the 9 minutes in the article.

I just checked the local WTOP news site for DC. Incident is not even listed. Top story is Baltimore party shooting. But that will be gone from headlines soon enough.
