See how easy it is to firewall off enemy mind control propaganda? It is why Republicans are losing. They think &quot;paying attention&quot; to the enemy is how they win.]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;American Thinker floats a tin-foil boat on the waters, which covers some of the “gaposis” about why Smollett even tried such a stunt, if “craving attention” isn’t enough to explain it: it was a docudrama staged to support Kamala Harris &#038; Corey Booker’s new anti-lynching legislation.

					<description><![CDATA[You have to admit, though, that this fuss covered up the Kyle Yorlets murder.  So they have that going for them.

I&#039;d like to take a shot at backing off the confirmation bias issue.  What if they, or some of them, are just as skeptical as any of us but they hope they can sell this and its outcomes and political and social results to the rest of us?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Which struck me as sad, because as far as I’m concerned Brando, however imperfect a human being, is one of the all-time great film actors. And yes, I do consider that an art.

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve prepared a boilerplate statement for use by the usual suspects, once the fraud becomes undeniable.

&lt;blockquote&gt; Gussie is an actor, a man of color, and a sexual minority. As an actor he has a unique social responsibility to educate us on the truth of his life in this racist and bigoted society. Gussie is not to be condemned for shouldering this burden, but commended for a revolutionary and transgressive act of punching back at the face of oppression!

What rightwing haters who attempt to make &quot;truth&quot; the enemy of lived truth fail to realize, is that this defiant act of street education was fully justified as well as necessary, in order to expose what rightwing haters would do if only they felt safe in doing so, and were not restrained from acting by indifference, a fear of the law, or social ostracism.

Their attempt to cloak their guilt behind a veneer of civility and disinterested tolerance hardly needs to be remarked upon. We all know what the hate filled minds of their kind are capable of if vigilance is ever relaxed and the crimes of the past as well as the would-be crimes and aggressions of the present were not continually refreshed in the consciousness of the community.

Just because these MAGA hatted exploiters cannot be seen committing outright crimes under what must be admitted as a system of archaic and insufficiently nuanced legalism, does not mean that they are not guilty. Their very lives of privilege and their depraved indifference to the struggles of &quot;others&quot; for self esteem and affirmation give testimony to their guilt, whether it be overt or hidden in the dark recesses of their hate filled minds..

We owe Gussie a debt of gratitude for reminding us of this! I stand in solidarity with Gussie!&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Back in the day, the communists of the highlander school would present a young white couple buying a home... in the south...   after all was done, a black couple moved into the home...&lt;b&gt; BUT&lt;/b&gt; when the southerners didnt care enough to do anything about it, they decied to make history by burning crosses and blowing up the young couple they put in the home... 

they also set off bombs in nyc pitting the hasidic community against the black community to this day...  [the ADL was blamed for it]

&lt;b&gt;Lovestoneites&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;A so-called Left Opposition centered around James P. Cannon, Max Shachtman and others, supported Leon Trotsky and were expelled in 1928 to form the Communist League of America. Soon thereafter, another cleavage emerged, this time between the supporters of Nikolai Bukharin and Joseph Stalin. When Bukharin was purged from the Soviet leadership, his supporters in various countries, known as the Right Opposition, were also expelled or left the various national parties. In the United States this tendency was led by Jay Lovestone, former General Secretary of the Communist Party. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

[just so you know what the idiots fighting are fighting over... ]

The organization took another stab at a Yiddish-language periodical with its launch of Arbeiter Kampf (Workers&#039; Struggle) in 1933. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;The cause of communism is needed a &quot;hundred years&#039; task&quot;, as the saying goes, and it defiantly cannot be accomplished at one stroke. In different countries this undertaking has to go through different stages, and different enemies must be defeated, &lt;b&gt;before a communist society can gradually be established.&lt;/b&gt; - Liu Shaoqi - How to Be a Good Communist&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;b&gt;The test of a Party member&#039;s loyalty to the Party, the revolution, the cause of communism is whether or not he can subordinate his personal interests absolutely and unconditionally to the interests of the Party whatever the circumstances.&lt;/b&gt;

DID SMOLLETTE do this?  :)

&lt;blockquote&gt;
At all times and all questions a party member should give first consideration to the interests of the Party as a whole and put them in the foremost and place personal matters and interests second. 

The supremacy of the Party&#039;s interests is the highest principle that must govern the thinking and actions of the members of our Party. In accordance with this principle, every Party member must completely identify his personal interests with those of the Party both in his thinking and in his actions of the members of our Party both in his thinking and in his actions. &lt;b&gt;He must be able to yield to the interests of the Party without any hesitations or reluctance and sacrifice his personal interests what ever of the two are at variance. 

Unhesitating readiness to sacrifice personal interests and even one&#039;s life, for the Party and for the proletariat and for the emancipation of the nation and of all mankind - this is one expression of what we usually describe as &quot;Party spirit&quot;, &quot;Party sense&quot; or &quot;sense of organization&#039;. 

&lt;i&gt;It is the highest expression of communist morality, of the principled nature of the party of the proletariat and of the purest proletarian class consciousness.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

WHICH history do you have in your head of the Reichstag Fire that is always brought up? the ACTUAL history or the fake one created by Willi Munzenberg for he Commenterm?

WHICH history of AIDS do you carry in your head, the faked one that tried to establish it as a ecaped vilation of the bio warfare treaty, which it so happens russia just had happen with their weaponized illegal anthrax (they apologized for this disinformation campaign, but &lt;b&gt;how many live in a personl world that this is not aligned with the real world?&lt;/b&gt;)

How many people know Arafat was a KGB stooge? Indira Ghandi? who else?

given that communism is the highest cause anyone in mankind could join, what isnt allowed?  what personal sacrifice is too great?]]></description>
