A Warning From The Past

On August 30, 1918, Vladimir Lenin had just given a speech at the Hammer and Sickle arms manufacturing facility in Moscow. As he was leaving, a woman called out his name and he stopped to see who was calling to him. Why he would have done this is unclear, as by this point Lenin was the most important man in Russia. He had lots of people who wanted a minute of his time. Nonetheless, he stopped to address the woman, who produced a pistol and shot Lenin three times.

The woman was not just any woman. She was Fanny Kaplan, who had been involved in radical politics since she was a teenager. She was a member of the SR’s, a very radical group that had been aligned with the Bolsheviks at times. She had spent time in a Siberian labor camp for having taken part in terrorist bombing attacks in Kiev, as well as other activities. She had been released by the Bolsheviks after the February revolution and gone right back to radical politics.

Lenin survived the assassination attempt, although he was never quite the same physically or psychologically. This was terrifying to Lenin and his inner circle not just due to the attack itself, but what it represented. The Bolsheviks were no longer the revolutionary force from the left, but the established order that had to contend with threats from all corners of the political space. The Bolsheviks had real power so that meant wielding that power to maintain that power.

There was also the issue of how Kaplan was able to get so close to Lenin in order to take a shot at him. Lenin had security, but it became clear that the SR radicals had friends and sympathizers in the security apparatus. The Cheka was filled with people who were not entirely loyal to the Bolsheviks. Many had been aligned with coalition partners, like the SR’s. If revolution was going to stay alive, it meant the system had to be purged and that meant unleashing political terror.

This was an important step, especially given the fact that Lenin and the Bolsheviks were students of the French Revolution. They knew how the terror worked out for the Jacobins and they were determined to avoid the same fate. Yet from the perspective of Lenin lying in a bed with a hole in his neck and a bullet in his shoulder, the only logical path forward was to unleash the forces of political terror. The same logic would eventually motivate Stalin to follow the same course.

The reason this matters at all to those living in this spot on the space-time continuum is that the people in charge of the empire are facing similar choices. In fact, they have been in this spot since the 2020 coup. In the fullness of time, that election will probably be looked at the same way as other radical coups in revolutionary times. Maybe Trump is actually our version of Kerensky, the radical liberal reformer who tried to head off the radical socialists but was eventually defeated by them.

Putting that aside, what mattered to Lenin as doctors patched him up was his perspective on the situation. The same can be said of the regime in the aftermath of the January 6th protests. Like Lenin and the Bolsheviks, the people who engineered Biden into the White House suffered from a similar lack of confidence. They had pulled off the great coup, but they were still unsure of their position. People climbing barricades brought to mind people more radical than themselves.

In other words, the people now in charge of the system see themselves as radicals, facing threats from all sides as they seek to consolidate power. This may sound a bit nuts but radicalism is powered by strong belief. Even when they have total control of the state, radicals will believe themselves to be the underdog, fighting a much more powerful enemy. You see that in this advertisement  by a former J6 prosecutor, who seems to think he is David facing the Goliath of MAGA.

Mr. Rollins sounds deranged and delusional, but he believes what he is saying not because the facts support those beliefs. He believes because there are no better beliefs for him to hold at the moment. That is one of those things about political believers that normal people struggle to grasp. These people genuinely believe what they say, and they will not drop those beliefs when you present facts and reason. They will only abandon those beliefs in favor of better beliefs.

This is why it is foolish to think that the people we call the Left are running out of juice or having second thoughts. This is not how the revolutionary mind works. Those polls we now see showing Biden losing to Trump in the key states are not intended to boost your spirits, but to terrify the radicals. It is a reminder that there is always a Kerensky, or a Trump in this case. More importantly, there is always a Fanny Kaplan, so the radicals better not lose focus or let down their guard.

This is why they continue to persecute the J6 people. Almost three years on and they are still hunting for new victims. It is why there will be renewed efforts to eliminate Trump from the ballot. The bizarreness of the New York court case against Trump should be a reminder that that the radicals will never let something as petty as facts or the law get in the way of their efforts. Every setback is a reminder that they must renew their efforts to complete the revolution.

The regime is Lenin, lying on a couch with two holes put there by someone with help from the inside. The reality of that thinking is not important. What matters is the belief that the revolution is in mortal danger. Our revolutionaries are just as aware of the past as the prior revolutionaries, but they are just as trapped by the dynamics of revolution, so they will be compelled to follow the same path. What lies ahead is not a break from the madness, but a renewed assault by the radicals.

Even when they have total control of the state, radicals will believe themselves to be the underdog, fighting a much more powerful enemy. This is true. I was with a bunch of center-leftists over the weekend and whenever I said that Trump would be thrown in jail before being allowed to run for president, they almost always said, “Good.” If pressed, they think Trump and MAGA is a great threat…or at the very least, they think the Republican party is held hostage by Trump loyalists, and that Trump himself is some kind of regime figurehead, as opposed to the pariah… Read more »

May be a bit of over analysis, sir. Rolllins is running against Southern California incumbent congressman, Ken Calvert. Ken Calvert isn’t Maga at all. Since the candidate has outed himself, I would rather look at this from the standpoint of the typical aggression that you find in queers who are politicized. The most dangerous animal on the Earth is probably a scorned and angry queer. They will stop at nothing.

In Ukraine 2014 the crowd’s decision (made in America) to move from outside to inside was the signal that behind the scenes the “revolution” had been accomplished.

I don’t get phone calls from liberals but I did have a luncheon with a medium sized group of relatives and in-laws that week. A couple of them were almost trembling with pleasure at the fact that Trump had contracted Covid. They talked about how he deserved it for not taking the virus seriously (as if!) and were like kids on Christmas Eve, awaiting even better news – from their point of view – about his health.

In retrospect, what difference would it have made if he’d actually died at that moment in time?

I’m still surprised that no one has tried to assassinate Donald Trump. He presents a luscious fat peach of a target. He’s been the most dangerous enemy to the Left in 50 years, and why go to the ballot box when you can go to your gun box and get your bullets? Assassination has been the preferred solution for extremists since the Archduke was assassinated triggering World War I. The cascade effects of assassination are tremendous.

In current year it’s virtually impossible to assassinate a president. Or an ex one, evidently. This ain’t Reagan/Hinckley. The security apparatus is gargantuan by comparison. Even as a suicide mission it’s questionable.

Best attempt I can recall since Hinckley is the guy who threw the dud grenade on stage with Dubya somewhere in eastern Europe in the early aughts. And that’s no sure fire method even if it had detonated.

For our rulers, the perfect plan would be to get the FBI to agitate and assist someone who is to the right of a normie conservative to do it, perhaps because the assassin felt betrayed by Trump. So much the better if he could be framed as a white supremacist. Imagine the righteous denunciations from the normie conservatives against the MAGA extremists.

I suspect it is the same as the reason there has been no false flags (or additional false flags, if J6 was one): there is fear such an event might start a rush of non-state-sponsored assassinations and terror. Even though they are criminals, pathological liars and sociopaths (maybe BECAUSE they are those things), and, yes, also incompetent, there likely is a deep-seated and justified concern that a well-crafted state-sponsored kill or explosion might act as a spark that would endanger the people they truly do protect.

Every leader with common sense prepares plan for his incapacitation. Trump is also not in jail . So there could be serious obstacles for assassination or imprisonment.

What would assassinating Trump accomplish? He presents no real threat to the system, and provides a relief valve for disgruntled citizens. If Trump wasn’t around, they would have to create one.

On the other hand, you assassinate him and he becomes JFK. A martyr to the cause and who knows what it unleashes. No, assassinating him would be the height of stupidity. What they need/want to do is humiliate him, but that is a tough challenge.

I have something extremely important to share that isn’t “on topic”, but it does touch on the “revolutionary” language that leftists have indoctrinated our children with. Several months back, my 14 year old son, when asked about his interest in girls, made the statement that he thinks he is “asexual”. To be clear, my kid is perfectly normal, but he’s always been a little behind in his developmental progress compared to other boys his age. Even still, I don’t think it’s all that weird for a 14 year old boy to not have quite yet developed an interest in girls.… Read more »

The regime got to test its power to use out-of-uniform military and cops from distant cities to physically attack the people. Test passed, both practically—there are no good cops and no truly resistant citizens—and legalistically. They were somewhat unsure, hence the excess of propaganda: staged nazi flag march, adding “transphobia” to the list of truckers’ sins just because it’s on the regime’s libel-of-the-day calendar, etc. If they’re capable of learning, our rulers learned that no propaganda is necessary—that psyops and show trials aren’t persuasion but gratuitous sadism, which is so much more satisfying.

We already see the weaponization of the law and Stalinist show trials. We are dangerously close to the weaponization of psychology. How long will it be before enemies of the regime are round up and sent to psychiatric hospitals and subject to shock treatment to cure our unclean thoughts? They’ve already turned types of mental illness into normal character traits. Is the opposite of that really that unthinkable?

Does the j6 thing kind of make you realize that if you’re gonna do the time, you may get as well do the crime?

If you had told the j6 people the day before what they would be facing, they very well might have had a “don’t lose” mindset and actually dare the capitol police to go ruby ridge on them

Not sure of Federal law, but there was one *murder* committed on Jan 6, that of protester, Ashli Babbitt. Here in my State we have felony murder laws which state that *all* participants in a crime are guilty of murder if any person is killed during the commission of the crime—even if they (the ones killed) themselves were committing said crime. I’m surprised that such charges were not leveled at those accused of entering the Capital on Jan 6. But in any event, we can see the level of tyrannical abuse the elite can yet avail themselves of as they… Read more »

Aging attorney here. The Rollins advertisement was disturbing in the extreme. By any meaningful legal standards the treatment of the January 6 defendants has been a travesty of justice and a national disgrace. Any attorney who claims to be proud of his involvement as a prosecutor in that process is wholly lacking in any commitment to the principles of justice as they have been defined for centuries in the West. He is a tyrant in the making and belongs nowhere near the levers of government power. I spent a few minutes researching this aspiring tyrant and found this little nugget… Read more »

Term limits are fine—but seemingly impossible to implement. I’d rather we approach such from the angle of *age limits* or mandatory retirement. Folks understand such even though conflated with term limits. After Biden, Pelosi, and a score of others, capping the age for Federal office at 70 or 75 might pass. Not the ideal, but if you look at Congress and mark who’d have to leave at 70, you’d get rid of your most obnoxious a-holes—both Dem and Rep.

> People climbing barricades brought to mind people more radical than themselves.

This characterization of the J6 protesters is a bit strained. Most of them were flag-waving CivNats: hardly a bunch of radicals. They engaged in minimal violence, especially compared to someone like Fanny Kaplan. Many of them were overweight boomers who could’ve used help getting up the Capitol steps.

The regime may have magnified the power and importance of these aging boomers within the regime’s reality distortion field but even so, they must realize that J6 was a hollow gesture with, at most, propaganda value for MAGAs.

The Regime’s reaction to J6 rather than the event itself put it in opposition to the populace. As JR mentioned below, the plan apparently was to replace the current people with the poor, needy brown folks. To the surprise of exactly no one that is proving a dismal and catastrophic failure.

It would be no small irony if the justifiably loathed Boomers ultimately and inadvertently save their white children and grandchildren. Given the inadvertent benefits of the Trump presidency, don’t discount it.

J6 was an exception, and accomplished nothing for the Red Team, except very REAL prison sentences. No one is advocating for more of the same.

Connect the dots as you have presented them. The GAE imports mercenaries and stations them in sensitive locations within the interior.

Martial law is declared and National Guard are activated to put down this terrorist threat. As with 9-11, new laws are passed eliminating Constitutional protections and imposing a de facto tyranny in the USA.

Probably part of why they wanted to neuter the military. A pattern I’ve also noticed in Europe is, the military is being stripped, the police is being built up.

For some reason police forces are often more loyal to regimes than militaries are. In Turkey in 2016 the army tried to coup, the police stopped it (rumors Russia tipped ergodan of, nice thick plot). I think this is a general pattern, militaries are more independent of regimes than police are. And therefore more dangerous to the rulers.

My guess is they haven’t resorted to a false flag because it will produce a lot of the real things by folks just waiting for the first flare to go up. In days of old a Cromwell would emerge, but that requires a dominant race, ideology, religion. There is no Cromwell possible when Shitavious wants to get busy with a rent troon and Mohammed is totally opposed to all that and everyone has forgotten what The Current Thing is today. This is the first Post-Modern Revolution, and given the enemy is nature/reality, that assures it will remain permanent since the… Read more »

The ancient Greeks had a name for the hero who arises from relative obscurity to lead in a crisis. They called him “The Gray Champion”.

American examples are George Washington, U.S. Grant, Robert E. Lee*, Stonewall Jackson, and Dwight Eisenhower; they were all basically nobodies before their respective wars started and assumed their roles with humility.

IF a Gray Champion is in America, by definition we haven’t heard of him yet.

The whole “genocide for me but not for thee” puts them in a weird place too since no one else, for as much as some people joke about it, really had that on the mind. This made disparate groups find some light common cause against the GAE regime of “Genocide Joe” since even the difference between #1 and #2 is the difference between not being bombed to death and…being bombed to death.

From what I’ve seen, the prohibitions against anti-Israeli protests/rioting in France and elsewhere are not working. Shocker. Euronormie may start to realize that not only does he have no say in the state of affairs, neither does the Help ‘n Hos who supposedly run things.

What strikes me about the demonstrations is how peaceful they are. I believe this is quite significant. Moslems are usually not afraid of using violence, but something is holding them back, keeping them in line. I suspect they’re getting their shit together. For the last few years, a Danish-presenting Jew named Rasmus Paludan has been touring with a Koran-burning roadshow, going around the ghettos with a hefty police escort, burning Korans and shouting stuff like “Mohammed loved to have sex with pigs and dogs.” People have been fined for much less over a FB post, but for some reason this… Read more »

Yes. They certainly seem to have spotted Paludan for an agent provocateur from the get-go and have decided not to raise to the bait. But it’s also that they don’t actually care very much what infidels do, because you can’t blaspheme if you’re not a Moslem. What people often forget about the Jyllands-Posten Mo-toon Affair (the OG Mo-toon brouhaha) is that initially nothing happened, nobody was terribly offended. It was only a few months later, when Moslem governments suddenly decided to make it an issue, that thing blew up. The same happened with Paludan, by the way. Right before Christmas,… Read more »

Riots in France have only been surpassed in terms of intesity and geographical scope by the BLM riots in the US in 2020.

France also has a nationwide counter-insurgency operation called Operation Sentinelle.The French government admitted that up to 70% of its army is employed on this op. France is already in a low intensity civil war.

Euronormies might want to look at France or Belgium before worrying about the US and Britain.

True, and the Mo-toon riots were almost as bad. France had one of the usual riots just last year, when the cops shot a fleeing car thief or something.

And that’s what makes these Hamas-demonstrations different. The Moslems are perfectly ready to riot, but for some reason they’re not doing it this time.

I’ve always liked the idea of implementing camps. Here, you would ideally go to a camp to await your turn in the courts for admission due to whatever BS reason you have. If you get tired of the camp, you can ask for “voluntary” deportation. My bet is that in a year, the illegal migration would dry up (we are getting some days in this sector/town over 1k) and we’d have caught up on the camp buildout. In WWII for example, we transported—and housed—hundreds of thousands of Germans in camps around the country. Nice facilities too. We literally built them… Read more »
