The Actual Totalitarians

Victor Davis Hanson points out (in not quite so many words) that in politics, there’s nothing new under the sun — most especially since the French Revolution, that is — and that the “Democrat Party” of today should just be honest about it and rename themselves the Jacobin Party.

Why?

Jacobinism aims to divide the nation arbitrarily between the noble oppressed and the toxic oppressors.  (Sound familiar?)

And VDH then goes on to list the offenders and offences:

BLM (actually, it’s Antifa, the only omission he makes), biological men competing in women’s sports, critical legal theory normalizing cashless bail, race-based reparations, violent felons arrested and back on the street hours later, radical abortion on demand until birth, attacks on the concept of the cultural “melting pot” and opposition to organized Christianity.

Read the whole article for the full catalogue.

Here’s the question to ponder.  Never mind what they might say;  which is the political party in the U.S. that actively supports terrorism?  And let’s be clear by what we mean by “terrorism”:  threatening assassination, supporting assassinations or calling for the same, beating up political opponents, calling for violence against those who refuse to support their policies (e.g. Supreme Court justices), using “grassroots” street protests to cow and intimidate opposition… the list goes on and on.

Yup:  that list belongs to the modern-day Jacobins — just as it was back in the late eighteenth century.  They would make history repeat itself, if they could.  And never forget that the term “Reign of Terror” was also coined during the French Revolution, by the Jacobins.  Ipse dixit.

Yeah, We’ll Never Know

…what the WHPC shooter’s motives were, according to that lying sack of shit Obama:

“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, it’s incumbent upon us all to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.”

Yeah, apart from the scrote’s actual published words, that is.  The guy could have been carrying a handwritten, signed note in his pocket saying “I want to kill Trump!” and I bet Obama would still have said the same thing, the mealymouthed little motherfucker.

It’s always about “plausible deniability” with these socialist scumbags, isn’t it?

Here’s how I see it.  There are two sets of “motives” with all these so-called “random shooters”.  The first set of motives is the obvious ones, e.g. what he himself said his motives were.

The second set of motives is what I referred to in last week’s post about the Anarchists’ Playbook:

All these “Ego” Anarchists had responded to the principle of Anarchy — “The Idea”, as Barbara Tuchman described it in the Proud Tower — and its primary focus was on destruction of a state or institution, perpetrated by a lone individual guided by near-insanity or else a mind infused with hatred for “the System” and its leaders.

We’re seeing it now, all over again:  Charlie Kirk of Turning Point, assassinated by Tyler Robinson;  Brian Thompson of United Healthcare, assassinated by Luigi Mangione, and various other such attempted assassinations.

…and now we can add this latest little turd to the file of “attempted assassinations”.

Barack Obama and his merry little band of Commies can bleat all they want about unknown motives, but they are flat-out lying.  They know all too well what these motives are because they’re encouraging them, they and their little lickspittles in the media and academia.

I need to quit now before I’m accused of suggesting that Obama et al. should be dragged up the gallows stairs for being guilty of fomenting insurrection and assassinations.

Yeah, Whatever

Anytime a couple of anarchists blow themselves up, it’s a good day for the world:

The bodies of an anarchist couple were found beneath the rubble of a cottage on the outskirts of Rome after they blew themselves up while making a bomb.

Police believed Alessandro Mercogliano, 53, and 36-year-old Sara Ardizzone were plotting an attack against a police station and Leonardo, a defense contractor, which made parts for F-35 jets.

Traces of ammonium nitrate, a chemical used to make explosives, were found in the debris of the abandoned building beside an ancient Roman aqueduct on Friday.

Police said the pair were supporters of Alfredo Cospito, the jailed figurehead of a loosely-organized anarchist network called the Informal Anarchist Federation.

I must admit, though, I like the name:  “Informal Anarchist”.  I’m something of an “Informal Commie Killer”, myself — except I’m not going to actually do something like shoot a few Commies, oh no not me, no sirree.

Anyway, to return to the main point:

Disappeared Without A Trace

Why have I not seen much about this story?

A man is dead following an overnight break-in attempt at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Authorities say Austin Tucker Martin, 21, breached the perimeter at Mar-a-Lago on Feb. 22 carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can. Two U.S. Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy spotted him near the property’s north gate and ordered him to drop his weapons.

Martin lowered the gas can but, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, raised the shotgun “into a shooting position.” The agents and deputy began to shoot, killing him.

Have we become so inured to random acts of assassination directed at Trump that we just lose interest quickly?

Oh wait:

Authorities have not said how many shots were fired, who fired the fatal round, or what — if any — connection Martin had to extremist groups or ideologies. His motive for approaching the estate armed with a shotgun and a fuel can remains unknown.

Never mind, I’m sure that all will be explained in due course.  (See Page T17, right underneath the tide tables and crossword puzzle.)

Ambulances?

Probably coincidence, but….

Naked man steals ambulance in Wisconsin, leading police on wild chase

…and:

Suspect’s Plan to Torch ICE Facility with Gasoline-Soaked Ambulance Fails to Ignite

WTF?

Anyway, in the first case, the punishment should be a simple one:  whack his (exposed) pee-pee.

In the second case, the punishment should be equally simple:  whack his pee-pee with a machete.

Some may think this is too Krool & Hartless, no doubt.  I disagree.  Dousing the asshole with gasoline and setting him on fire — now that may be a little K&H, although it does agree with the “make the punishment fit the crime” dictum.
