An actual purge will be needed. With no functioning media and broken political parties, the Republic is in mortal danger while our politicians focus on 'cloths over piehole' issues.

100 years ago it was the Brown Shirts. Today it's antifa and blm.

Actually it was the KPD - Kommunist Party of Germany and their riot thugs that had the NSAPD create the SA - Sturm Abteilung / Shock Detachment.

I've got video footage of KPD marching in the streets of Berlin circa 1921. Uniforms and Banner holders about the same as the NSAPD, just the banners differ. Oh, the hats too.

This will happen here if certain authorities let the bolsheviks keep going unabated.

Already seeing peaceful Pro-Blue protestors on occasion now, with Bolsheviks showing up to disrupt their protest time.

Just a matter of time at this stage for pro-LEO groups to be armed and not afraid to use things. IN PDX last weekend their were already no-firearm skirmishes.

Amazing how history repeats itself. Just different actors and locations in the same play.

Well, so far, Detroit Police Chief James Craig ain't havin' none of it: Detroit police arrest 42 during downtown protest after weeks of calm

Louisville is supposed to be a hot spot tomorrow and for the next couple weeks. Right now the state fair is going on with no public attendance and in a week or two the Kentucky Derby will run with no spectators. BLM wants derby cancelled anyway.

OK. So it can only be stopped by extreme force and usually democratic governments or even peaceful non-democratic governments have been unwilling to do so.

Which takes us back to this:

Yup.

The Spanish Civil war could be another example. Bolshevism was defeated at a horrible cost. Interestingly, when the call went out in 1941 for Spanish volunteers to fight for Germany against the USSR, bolshevik central, 40K men volunteered almost instantly. Franco could not allow that many to volunteer, so he allowed only 10K or so.
Many volunteered because they were grateful for Germany's help in the civil war to keep Spain from going Communist. Something I'm sure most here never learned about in their school history classes. Well, except for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade with were American bolsheviks.

Bolshevism is like a cancer. And medical cancer treatment is quite harsh on the human body; the cancer parts you're truing to kill and the non-cancer parts that get impacted too.

So, yea, the danger in this crap exploding here is getting more real every day. God only knows who it will go when President Trump wins in November.

The left has created a narrative where nobody is innocent. We are at minimum complicit and if by no other reason, "priveledge"!

Even supportive business owners are "guilty" because they are "greedy" not just out throwing money in the streets.

I don't want to laugh at the business owner, but evidently leftists can't read.

Perhaps a 12 gauge would have deterred them better.

Yep, just look at the picture above. Their virtue signaling sign didn't keep the flames away.....

What really worries me about all of this is the bulshit media coverage of lack of there of what really is going on. No real investigative reporting on who the protestors really are and so forth.

I know it, and a PDX Police officer confirmed a lot of it to me in my field trip of a month_ ago now.

Just looking at the local PDX 4 news channels, it's pathetic. They are just about the official propaganda arms of these protestors (except for the pro-LEO protestors).

But the general public - so called moderates?

For a democratic republic to function properly and remain, the press, also called the 4th estate, needs to do its part as neutral observer.

It's why the 1st amendment exists and why the 2nd amended follows to back up the first amendment.

But with the overall press now 99.98 percent pro-bolshevik, and only reporting on 'republican' political corruption, while glossing over Democratic political corruption, civil war is inching closer. At least in this country.

Not completely sure how it is in Europe. I try to keep up a bit with the German news. I'd read the Economist on plane fights every so often. Bansheeone might know objectively better than I.

Also, in europe with recent war memories taught daily, civil was escalation is tempered, I'd think. A bit different here in the states.

How to stop bolshevism? More and more drastic means are they only options left on the table as things go now, if responsible authorities do not put a fork in what is happening now - soon.

I must say, so far Detroit is doing a great job. I was just in downtown Detroit the other day for a meeting and I felt safe. Didn’t have any issues with roads being blocked or anything. Everything seemed completely normal.

I was going to post about Kenosha, but I see I'm late to the game.

I don't know if you object to injecting a little bit politics into this, but I'll keep it short. WI is going to be a major swing state in the election. While I don't like to see violence, the fact that they're getting a dose of reality close to home about what's going on, may, in the long term not be a bad thing.

They've seen a bit, but Craig (worked the LA riots coming up), the mayor, and the City Council made it clear from the beginning they weren't going to put up with this BS. Amazing what standing together and presenting a fortified front does in dealing with this garbage.

Well in the good news category; at least corona virus will go dormant again.

Civil wars aren't civil. Without a crack down and arrests with real consequences, we could very well end up like Cambodia under Pol Pot. Of course most young people today don't have a clue about the Killing Fields, thanks to the Left's dominance of leftists in academia.

The key will be in establishing a definitive link between the rioters and anarchists and their Dem party enablers. If the GOP can definitely make that link, the landslide in the November election should be Yuuuuge, and the destruction of the Dem party possible. With a horrible Dem candidate for president, a socialist extreme agenda, and large parts of America burning, there's only one candidate proposing what a majority of this country wants for their lives and their families.

“Cops shoot unarmed man...”. Who cares that he was unarmed? That’s not how it works media. People seem to think so long as you’re unarmed, you can do whatever you want.

ETA, that video just made me realize how important distance and stand off weapons are. These idiots are now walking around shooting AR’s at armored vehicles? This is such a shit show.

There's going to be a Stalingrad situation in one of these cities eventually.

arresting them is one thing

but when you have DA's state that they will not prosecute, the arrest means very little - just a minor inconvenience

they're not even paying the bail - Soros is footing all of that

its going to be an all-out shooting engagement - I'm surprised the police didn't kill those two rifle-wielding terrorists that stopped them - that should be the wake-up call that says the gloves are off and lethal force is the rule rather than the exception

its going to get worse, and ammo is in short supply
