“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish blog

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

China Ramps Up Tyranny as U.S. Follows Suit

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 26, 2020

‘Who doubts that after the next mass killing in a “gun-free zone” with an “assault weapon” that a critical mass of Republicans won’t abandon the people who voted for them (based on NRA grades)? What will you do when ordered to either surrender your semiautomatic firearm and magazines or register them and pay a tax, or else become a “felon”?’

“Disturbing video out of Hong Kong shows family members of ‘political prisoners’ saying hysterical goodbyes after China rounded them up onto buses headed for reeducation camps in the mainland,” NewsWars reports. “The heartbreaking footage shows a group of desperate Hong Kongers banging on the barred windows of the buses as it drives away to the Chinese mainland.”

“Heartbreaking” is one word for it. Others also come to mind, including philosopher George Santayana’s warning that “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

The buses are reminiscent of nothing so much as cattle cars transporting victims to concentration camps. And it’s more than racial, cultural and religious “ethnic cleansing” as with the Uighurs – this is the extermination of forbidden thoughts and sentiments, ideological cleansing, or more to the point of the end game, “ideologicide.”
