This thread has passed on. It has gone to meet it's maker. It has drawn down the curtain and joined the choir invisible It is a late thread

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 6: It’s not even a mistake. I think 95% comfortably falls within the definition of “most“, for any sane person.

It occurs to me that what we are seeing is an interesting phenomenon: in the past, when revolutionaries attempted to take power, they'd seize the telephone exchange and the post office. In this case, the revolutionaries in effect had the "telephone exchange and the post office" already; the Left has been solidly in control of the Internet giants like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, etc.---not to mention the major media outlets like the WaPo, NYT, CNN, the regular network TV, for some time now. The rioters don't need to seize them; they've got them covering for the rioters from the get-go.

I read an article that said some people want to replace the national anthem with Imagine I suggest these words:
Imagine we live under socialism It's easy if you try Just look at Venezuela Where the people starve and die
Imagine all is your country's It isn't hard to do And no religion too Nothing they won't kill for Imagine all the people living for the state
You may say AOC's a dreamer And Bernie Sanders, too Someday you'll be forced to join us And we can starve all as one
Imagine no possessions The state takes all it can Nothing left for greed; just hunger Enslaved is every man Imagine all the leaders taking all they can
You may say Liz Warren's a dreamer And Bernie Sanders, too Someday you'll be forced to join us And we can starve all as one

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 10: Excellent rewrite. Meantime, realizing that the rabble basically controlled the communications utilities before they took to the streets makes me even more uneasy than I was before.

Joe McCarthy never realized how embedded the communists were in the media way back then. This revolution has been going on for what, 70 years or more?

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 12: I was never a fan of Nixon---grew up disliking him, as that was an article of faith in a largely-Democrat family---but I have come to believe that Watergate was the test drive of the deep state coup techniques that have gone into overdrive with Trump; Nixon was never a "Washington insider" either, and the much-vaunted mentions of the IRS "refusing to be weaponized by Nixon" merely attests to the fact that the IRS was solidly Leftist even in Nixon's day, and refused to follow his directives not because they were wrong but because they were directed at other Leftists. By the same token, the Dade County gay-rights brouhaha in 1977---remembered as the "Anita Bryant" controversy---was the Left's initiative to a) take the gay-rights movement national; b) develop a national fundraising network; c) perfect the pattern of "cancel culture" which we now see everywhere.

In #13 buzzsawmonkey said: I was never a fan of Nixon---grew up disliking him, as that was an article of faith in a largely-Democrat family- I had printed out via computer a poster that said "Impeach the bugger" and had made a cardboard bug with earphones. But it is a very good point that the IRS did not go along with Nixon - but did with Obama (proven in court, too)

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 14: I believe---or at any rate, am beginning to---that we have been subjected to a slow, sub rosa revolution which was done intentionally in reverse; take things over quietly, like a hermit crab appropriating a shell, and only after things have been set in place and locked down do you bring out the violent mobs. Much more effective.

Joe McCarthy was right - but the communists running the media ruined him. The swamp goes back a long time

And I might check in before flopping in bed, but goodnight, and may G-d bless And Red Skelton would not be able to get away with that ending today
