One of the questions that has been floating around in the back of my mind recently, is why would the DNC want Buttigieg in so badly they would risk catastrophe to cheat Bernie Sanders out of what is an obvious win based on both metrics, the Super Delegates and the popular vote?
Putting together two things:
A friend of ours, who I do not know if he wishes to be named at this time, told me that the Democrats are now divided along essentially Bolsheviks Vs. Menshevik lines.
To be lear about the terminology, Bolsheviks for our purposes means those who wish a violent overthrow of the whole power structure to have communism installed, Vs. the Mensheviks, those who want to coerce and trick and massage the population into accepting communism via infiltration and subversion. Another term for this is, “The Long March through the institutions.
Personally I had never heard of this Pete Buttigieg guy before and its pretty obvious they cheated in Iowa to get him in. So what gives?
A caller to Mark Levi’s radio program, I think from Friday observed that his father, Joseph Buttigieg, was in fact the Founding Member and President of the Antonio Gramsci Society. More, he was He was translator and editor of the three-volume English edition of Antonio Gramsci‘s Prison Notebooks!
For those who do not know, Gramsci is widely credited for being the main accelerant of the communist strategy of “The Long March through the Institutions”.
So the answer is, the Mensheviks appear to be cheating the bolsheviks because they feel that Sanders’ more Bolshevik approach may not be popular at the polls. And Buttigieg, being a basic unknown, would have a better chance of sliding his communist ambitions past the public. Like Obama did.
And now, for the news:
1. Maybe is time we all started reading stories to each other?
(I didn’t watch the Oscars. But to those who did, how commie was it on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a healthy mix of ideas and general appreciation for freedom, and 10 being propaganda for Chairman Mao)
2. You have to chew your way through quite a bit of sanctimony and elitism to get to any meat in this video. But its instructive nonetheless. I do suggest however that Murray’s next book be called “Man of straw. How I mischaracterize anyone who isn’t me”.
3. Taiwan Again Scrambles Jets To Intercept Chinese Planes, Tensions Spike
TAIPEI (Reuters) – Taiwan’s air force scrambled for a second day in a row on Monday to intercept Chinese jets that approached the island claimed by Beijing as its own, as tensions between the two took on a potentially dangerous military dimension.
Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said Chinese jets, accompanying H-6 bombers, briefly crossed an unofficial mid-line in the Taiwan Strait that separates the two, prompting its air force to rush to intercept and give verbal warnings to leave.
The Chinese aircraft then withdrew to the western side of the line, the ministry added, without identifying the jets.
A former Uber driver has been found guilty of planning terrorist attacks at London hotspots and told police officers he ‘learned a lot’ from ‘likeminded’ Streatham attacker Sudesh Amman while in Belmarsh prison.
Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, who had previously been cleared of a sword attack on police outside Buckingham Palace, was today convicted at Woolwich Crown Court.
The 28-year-old allegedly boasted to undercover police how he had deceived a jury into finding him not guilty of the attack.
His sister Sneha Chowdhury, 25, cried as she was convicted of one count of failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism and cleared of another count of the same charge.
Woolwich Crown Court heard Chowdhury unwittingly revealed his plans to ‘unleash death and suffering on non-Muslim members of the public’ to undercover agents.
Chowdhury said he ‘learned a lot’ from ‘likeminded brothers’ while on remand at Belmarsh with other terrorists including Streatham knife attacker Sudesh Amman.

A police union says the men and women of New York City’s finest are now “declaring war” on Mayor Bill de Blasio following a pair of shootings targeting officers in the Bronx over the weekend.
The fiery rhetoric directed at the Big Apple’s Democrat leader — who has implemented several measures critics say are hostile to police – comes as the NYPD filed charges against suspect Robert Williams in both attacks.
“Mayor De Blasio, the members of the NYPD are declaring war on you!” the Sergeants Benevolent Association wrote in a tweet. “We do not respect you, DO NOT visit us in hospitals. You sold the NYPD to the vile creatures, the 1% who hate cops but vote for you.
“NYPD cops have been assassinated because of you,” the tweet added. “This isn’t over, Game on!”
(De Blasio’s fellow traveler, Bloomberg, could easily be the Democrat front runner against Donald Trump in November)
Thank you M., Wrath of Khan, Xanthippa, EB., Richard, C., and all who sent in materials. More to come today.
Noam Chomsky makes it perfectly clear that he believes it is a mistake to attempt to introduce communism too overtly and too stridently because people will tend to be scared off at the sight of too many hammers-and-sickles and flaming red banners. Barack Obama has been making similar protestations in the recent past. Only mentally-ill weirdos flock with the Bolsheviks if they want to survive in the real world…
I can assure you that in no way do Barack or Noam wish success upon Bernie Sanders and his open socialist persona, nor do Hillary or Nancy. They would hate him more than cancer because he threatens to blow the whole deal and let the cat out of the bag before the plan can be executed…
Is Chomsky a communist though? I think he calls himself anarchist.
He advocates for a thing called “Anarcho-syndicalism” .
Pretty sure he is a Fabian style commie though. When he wrote his book about freedom of speech, he never gave an example of how non-leftists where suppressed. All his examples where how the NYT for example, was too America-centric and right wing. Without using those terms much.
The big reveal to me, is that in his Manufacturing Consent, he never mentions university speech-codes. And he is a professor for crying out loud.
How can you take anything he says seriously about freedom of speech when he never mentions all the things you cannot say at his own place of employment, all of which favoured left wing positions?
Chomsky is a commie. Just a moderately well concealed one.
He pretty much never heard of a tyrant he didn’t like. He took the enemy position in every US conflict but never thought to move to any of those places he admired so much.
The irony there is he liked East Timor when it was under attack by Indonesia. Canada, at the time, was way supportive of Suharto, I think was his name, the Indonesian leader.
I bet Chomsky didn’t get that it was Islamic jihad and that East Timor was Christian and Indonesia wanted to make it part of the Islamic caliphate. If he did get that I would be surprised as typically Chomsky would support the Islamic side of things.
But with the left, the point is never the point. He may have felt opposing the US or the West was more important than supporting a move against Christians so his choice of side was reflexive.
All in all I would say his actions are of a sophisticated communist.
Bernie’s supporters show they belong to the Bolsheviks side of the coin, they are afraid that President Trump and the Judges he is appointing are going to reverse all of the activist decisions that have moved the United States so far to the left. They are being joined by some of the Menshevik faction who are afraid of the same thing but are also afraid that the Bolsheviks will turn their violence on them if they don’t support the violent action. IMO this is why Nancy Pelosi changed and supported single party impeachment and why she tore up the speech. She is afraid of the crazies that are the base of her party, the only good things coming out of this mess are 1) the way the Dems are showing the entire world that the Dems were taken over by the Radical Left a long time ago and that their leaders aren’t the moderates the lap dog media has been calling them.
Because the Bolsheviks are driving true moderates and independents away from the Democrats Donald is as close to a sure thing as you can find in a political election. His re-election the Bolsheviks are going to return to their violent roots and try to carry out a violent revolution or coup to do what they can’t do at the ballot box. Item 5 shows one of the tactics they are going to use, make the police afraid to do their jobs and make the US ungovernable because of the violence in the big cities. The problem for the Dems is that the police are starting to fight back and they ignore the middle of the country where most of the military recruits come from and most of the Military Retirees choose to live. The recruits are because of family tradition and the families teaching patriotism, the retirees are because most of the Middle American states don’t charge State Income Tax on Federal Pensions.
Thank for for providing a rationale for Speaker Pelosi’s passive aggressive tearing of the speech.
So about a month ago I’m at what is probably one of the last video rental stores on the planet. I’m browsing in the Indonesian foreign film section (not really) when I hear my name. I turn to see it’s a guy whose son went to the same judo club as mine did. I can’t remember his name, but I do remember he’s some kind of big shot at the NDP. That’s Dystopia’s socialist party, for you foreigners. So the paid socialist and I make a bit of small talk, which is worse than giving yourself a root canal with a rusty fork because their every road leads to saving the planet or hating Trump even more. They’re so full of it.
“So have you seen any good movies lately?” I ask.
“Parasite,” he says. “It’s really, really good.”
I don’t watch tv, but I heard this won Best Picture. Surprise surprise. How commie is the Oscars when their top pick is, well, the best thing since sliced bread for an upper middle-class Dystopian Pinko?

I disagree with the World Bank’s assessment that foreign ISIS fighters are well-educated. “69% of recruits reported at least a secondary-level education” means 31% are highschool dropouts, how is that educated?
