Putin Declaration Names Navalny's Movement In Russia "Terrorist", Blood Purges Coming?--

 


Russia's Blueprint For A Trump Second Term?

January 26, 2022

Putin is doing exactly what he advised Trump to do in a phone call on June 2, 2020, when he said during the George Floyd demonstrations "you can't look weak". That was the famous "Bunker Boy" day when Trump tried to invoke the 1807 Act, then did his famous Photo op at the Church with a Bible.

Putin is using the contrived Ukraine crisis to declare Russia's anti-corruption/democracy movement "terrorist", then have them rounded up and crushed. This is right out of every autocrat's playbook. 

The difference was that each time in 2020 that Trump tried for imposing the 1807 Act, or moved for other extra-legal attempts at a Coup, he was blocked by our military or threatened with mass resignations at the DOJ. Putin has no such impediments in his way, and will assuredly use force against his own people in the tradition of the worst of Russia's Czars. 

Russians will be watching Ukrainians and Russians die on their mobile phones, and they will react as any outraged population of human beings would. There will be blood in Russia if Putin goes through with this, propaganda efforts notwithstanding. 

The problem we face is that if Trump gets back into power, he also then would have much fewer impediments to doing the same here, as he has purged the GOP, has loyalists in the military and law enforcement, and leads what can only be described as a fascist degeneration. 

So, keep your eyes on what Putin does domestically within Russia to get a look into the mirror of our own future if we don't succeed in defeating the continuing GOP Coup against our  Constitution NOW, not in 2024. 

This all by way of reemphasis means we need to change our strategy from traditional partisan politics to mass based civil disobedience and non-violent resistance. We will need that, along with some timely "Lincolnesque" Presidential actions coming from Joe Biden's White House in the coming weeks. The AG of Georgia is not going to take down Donald Trump and his fascist movement of 71 million voters. Any more than a Prosecutor in Tiflis Georgia can save Russia from what awaits it.

Today in History, July 17, 1918- Czar of Russia and Family Executed

Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. By July 1918, Russia was engulfed in a hellish civil war which would cost millions of lives and damage a country already reeling from the devastation of World War I. Swept away in this hellfire was the old Tsarist monarchy, last headed by Nicholas II. Nicholas had abdicated in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept through the nation. Since then he had been a prisoner of successive governments, first the Provisional Government and then the administration run by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The Romanovs were shipped from place to place, eventually coming to Yekaterinburg in April, in the Urals, an area known for its hard Communist sympathies. As the White Russian forces grew closer, Lenin and his associates ordere...

Milton Friedman- The Man Who Revived Fascist Economics, and Called It "Freedom".

Image
  You may have heard the name before, as he was featured in a PBS Series, titled "Free To Choose", also the title of his most famous and misnamed book. He was a prolific author, and widely publicized by Conservative News Media and Magazines, especially by the followers of William F. Buckley. In fact, Milton Friedman is the current top economic advisor to the so-called "movement conservatives", from Nixon to Reagan, to Newt Gingrich and Trumpworld,  and is still to this day the main architect of the GOP approach to dealing with the present economic crisis, though he has been keeping a low profile. A very low profile. In fact, six feet under. He is currently dead, and has been for 14 years, yet his horrific philosophy continues to stalk about, haunting us like the living dead animated by a Voodoo curse, burning live Chickens, chanting incantations, and propitiating the irrational forces of Britain's Adam Smith and his "Invisible Hand". (Which is the hand...

How Do You Know If What You Are Reading Is True Or Useful? - A One Year Old Facebook Post

Image
 How do we know whether what we are reading is true, or for that matter useful? There are many journalists in the US today who are not only excellent writers, but are just good people. They are well informed, have the best intentions and are highly professional.  I have to force myself to write, and it comes with great difficulty because I am blocked, and had little journalistic training. Without an editor I feel lost, and feel as though I want to rewrite everything or throw it out after I read it. Reading books and articles is my favorite hobby, and when I'm doing that I am in my happy place.  As of now I have 30 News and Magazine sites bookmarked and I read them everyday as a routine. I usually read anywhere from 2-10 articles in each, depending upon what newsworthy events are breaking that day. Plus I have a number of books on history that I have going at any one time. This is no big accomplishment or unique, it's just how I occupy my time and is my form of work these ...
