Here are the Leaders of the ENEMY
Frightening and depressing:
But inspiring and clarifying too, in that it gives us insight as to the quality and motivations/goals of the ENEMY.
h/t to Scipio.

These People are THE ENEMY
Not the enemy leadership, of course -- they're not smart enough for that.
But they are the foot-soldiers, the enablers, the useful idiots, who allow the evil forces to destroy what once was Western Civilization and free America:
The best way to destroy the enemy is, of course, by educating them and convincing them to come-over to our beliefs of freethinking republican capitalism. But the key question is whether it is too late for this option to work.

A Frightening Essay on Parallels with 1930s Germany
DEMAGOGERY: 1930 & 2008 A CAUTIONARY TALE
Wise commentators say that current events seem like Orwell’s “1984.” But, to me, an amateur student of military history, the pattern feels more like Germany must have felt in the early 1930’s. Alan Bullock writes of how the Great Depression provided the big “opportunity” (to use Rahm Emanuel’s phrase) for Hitler: “millions… saw the apparently solid framework of their existence cracking and crumbling. In such circumstances men are no longer amenable to the arguments of reason… men entertain fantastic fears, extravagant hatreds, and extravagant hopes… the extravagant demagogy of Hitler began to attract a mass following as it had never done…” Sound familiar?

Overstating the Intellectual Rigor of the Process
Classic:
If this ain't revolting, or at least reason enough to induce us to consider revolting, I dunno what is.

Worth Repeating -- Please Watch It

So, what is YOUR choice? Becoming a subject of the Oligarchs or redeeming your citizenship in a revitalized Republic?
